12th Man (2022)
A familiar plot that didn't fail to captivate
As soon as you see Mr. Chandrasekhar's lame behavior, you'd realise that he's an important character.
The overall narrative despite it's lack of the suspense/horror elements manages to hold audiences' attention. Maybe that's because of Jeetu Joseph's direction.
I felt many of the scene had resemble those of "12 Angry men" and "the man from earth."
The White Tiger (2021)
Didn't end as well as it started
I was impressed by the way movie opened. Balaram starts off explaining his childhood and his 'entrepreneurial' mind. The way he manipulates his grandmother to let him go to Dhanbad, the way he joins the Master's house as a driver, and the way he threatens the erstwhile 'chief' driver to quit appears like this guy has a plan.
On reaching Delhi, his plight, the condition in which he lives, nuances of how he's treated, etc. Are shown vividly. His conflict between whether to remain loyal or to steal money and flee is also shown elaborately. But the last 15-minutes of the movie turned out to be a disaster; it was as if the makers just wanted to wrap the movie up and get over with it. Balaram's schemes after moving to Bangalore seem unrealistic, superficial, and sometimes pointless and outright stupid. It almost felt like watching another run-off the mill movie.
On the positive side, acting and screenplay were superb.
Mardaani 2 (2019)
Must watch just for the Villian
Similar to Mardani 1, the story is mediocre and the Ms. Shivani Roy fails to do rudimentary things a police officer does, her actions were never on par with her ego. But what kept me occupied was Sunny (Vishal Jethwa). Vishal's acting is phenomenal, every moment of his on-screen presence made my heart beat faster.
