Ekda Yeun Tar Bagha
Ekda Yeun Tar Bagha (2023)
9/10
Good Family Entertainer
14 December 2023
The movie has interesting idea around mishaps on a resort. The cast is from a comedy show 'Hasya Jatra'. All the actors are seasoned veterans and it shows in their performance. The story starts to unfold events then slows down in middle and later turns predictable. But the whole journey was interesting to watch. There were enjoyable moments all along and a few dull moments. The whole movie is a good entertainer thanks to Prasad Khandekar for writing and direction. I am looking forward for more movies from him with the same team.

The movie also has nice songs and background score. The small details in the movies are taken care of and well made. The future looks bright for Prasad Khandekar and team.

Good Marathi Movie
20 July 2023
Warning: Spoilers
The story is of an average guy who marries a good looking woman and the reaction of lusty males towards her. The film showcases what many women have to face in their lives due to their good looks. But this woman is different. Her husband is naive and doesnt find a way to get rid of such men when they start creating a problem in their life to get their hands on his wife. The climax is great. Overall a great experience.

The actors performed really well. I personally watched the movie for Omkar Bhojane. He is a great actor.

The music is splendid.

Only negative of this movie was the release date. This movie was kicked out of theaters due to Pathaan. The movie release should have been more strategic and well research. A great movie tanked due to poor management.

Nice entertainer for DC fans
22 June 2023
This is a balanced movie with few positives and few negatives.

Positives: Breath of freshness with interesting story: The series had covered many stories and episodes so it was nothing new. Still it was an interesting story.

Decent VFX: The visual really good. Time as a physical dimension was mind blowing. Good efforts for the VFX overall.

Cameos: The film has many cameos which strike nostalgic chords. It would be an interesting series of film if they come up with 2-3 films.

Background score: Background music for Batman is so good. It definitely reminded of Batman animated series.

Barry has always been comic relief in other films and series. But the one who travels time in this movie acts mature and feels more deep than just a comic relief.

Negatives: Some scenes feel stretched and boring. Those would have cut short.

Younger Barry felt too much childish.

One of the best Indian Cinema
7 September 2022
Nice story. Brilliant location choice, set designs and lighting. The acting and cinematography is one of the finest. The cast is brilliant and everyone justified their roles. One of rarest musical gem with a unique story and cinematography. Totally fresh experience. Need a lot of such movies in Bollywood infested with ridiculous movies and brainless scripts. The story has ithihasa elements references which connects with the majority audience. The more they give respect the more people will help film industry grow.

This is also a proof that even today movies can be created without cuss words, vulgar scenes.

Loved it. Must watch with family.

Nice Action flick with dull
9 August 2022
The action scenes are superb expect for the starting mission. Standing in the middle of the road with enemies shooting from behind pillars is not sensible. The cinematography and direction are splendid. The locations are splendid. The stuntmen deserve an applause for such fantastic action sequences. This whole film gives John Wick vibe. The director is promising, looking forward for more such flicks.

Only downside is the shallow story. It isnt that punchy or complex.

Kangana and Arjun Rampal as always gave their best performances. Rest cast was also a perfect fit.

The negative reviews are due to hatred for Kangana's right wing inclination. These people will enjoy pathetic movies of Khans and Company. Enjoy mindless action and killing of John Wick series but won't appreciate such effort of a movie.

All in all its a nice action film for a weekend.

A biopic worth watching
2 August 2022
The slow unfolding story, quality acting and dialogues. It is a nice entertainer. The pain of the scientist is communicated through the brilliant acting. The cast also justifies the characters. Overall a film worth of your time.!

Nice movie with good script
29 July 2022
The story is nice. The cast is amazing. Jeetendra Kumar and Javed Jaffery are splendid. The actors do justice to the story and their characters. The movie feels a bit lengthy could have been avoided. Worth watching with family without cuss words which is very rare in bollywood.

The main essence 'Predator' was missing
3 July 2022
Warning: Spoilers
The title character shared less screen time than other characters. There were too many goofups.

1. A kid understands Predator tech.

2. Predator dog plays fetch, brings a grenade and attach the Predator in the climax! (WTF!!) 3. The movie ends with a weapon given by the 'traitor' to mankind to defend itself. But rips every human in the lab and didnt even tried to communicate.

4. The movie feels like Marvel movie. One-liners, lame jokes in serious situation, a Predator Killer suit for humans? This simply doesnt make any sense.

5. Most importantly this movie took a dig at the iconic dialogues and the name 'Predator' of the 1987 movie. Thats a major turn down for me.

This is considering this a sequel to the franchise.

If considered as stand alone, this is a nice entertainer for the new generation to the Predatorverse. Jumpy action scenes and sarcastic dialogues.

Very Interesting Indian Superhero
9 May 2022
Superhero origin are most challenging. Even this story has cliche origin but the character development and the plot is what makes this movie different. Guru Somasundaram is just mind blowing. Great talents at work.

Interesting Story with a fresh bunch of talent
5 September 2021
The story is interesting and worth more exploration. The concept is new and definately worth a watch. The locations are scenic and beautiful worth every second of the footage. The direction is great and slow pace actually adds the flavour of suspense which some people won't like. This is a great experiment and definately worth a try.

10* for the efforts by the team and for translating folk Lore/stories of North East into a series.

Real good suspense and story telling
21 July 2020
The scenes are superb. Not like usual bollywood no brainer. The story needed some more depth but the flow of scene and action are remarkable. Great debut of the director. Would love to see more from the talented director.

The story maybe slow but its impact is non the less deep. This has nice cinematography and the performances of the actors literally make you go thru all the feelings and emotions. Vikander is so perfect for such roles. All the actors did perform very well. A joy to watch!

A fresh breeze in this franchise
21 August 2018
Alicia Vikander has delivered another brilliant performance as the new Lara Croft. The story and performances are realistic and not foolishly unreal action glorifying the protagonist Lara croft like previous movies. (Sorry, Angelina) This Lara croft is naive and still not the epic Tomb Raider from the game. I felt is a brilliant start and reboot of this character. The puzzles and clues look a bit naive but whats important is that it is realistic. Loved the performances of all actors. Great experience.

Slow moving Sci-fi thriller
21 August 2018
Dont be misled by the title. This movie is slow moving but does pack a punch. Nicely played by all actors especially Alicia. The story does make you guessing till the last moment. Treachery and doubt are the main essence of this film. Brilliant concept and nicely delivered.

Nice touching story of lovers seperated by fate
21 August 2018
Both are phenomenal actors. Close up scenes, cinematography, locations, etc simply are fabulous. The story is not very swift as we see nowadays but it has depth of philosophy like no other. Both the actors are my favorite and both actors did excellent in close ups with their microexpressions. Brilliant experience and a joy to watch them!
