Valimai (2022)
The Definition of Pure Garbage
Pure garbage movie, don't waste your time If you are a movie buff. This movie is only made for B and C centers. People who like Mass Masala garbage would enjoy this awful movie.
Minnal Murali (2021)
Decent movie, don't expect too much
Currently, India's standard for superhero movies is Krrish, A Flying Jatt, Drona, Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota, Bhavesh Joshi Superhero and in South Robot, 2.0, Jaguar. All of these movies are absolute garbage. So when a decent movie comes with a decent plot and decent action scenes, everyone loses their mind. Every single reviewer is giving it 10/10. But don't get your expectations too high, this is an underwhelming experience.
The first half is really slow, establishing all the necessary and more unnecessary characters. The only character that stands out is the villain. And you sympathize more for him than the Hero. Which makes difficult to root for anyone. Songs are bad. Background score is bad. Color palette is extremely flat and movie looks extremely dull. Production value is really bad. There aren't many action sequences and apart from the final showdown, none really look good. You just feel like watching another south flick where people are flying in the air.
Both Hero and Villain's acting is great, but they lack good writing. Not a single dialogue stays with you after the movie ends.
If you were expecting a hollywood level Superhero flick you will be disappointed. This is more like a compilation of scenes rather than a story. It's not like India can't make good superhero movies, Anniyan, Kanthaswamy and Mugamoodi are good examples. But this one just falls into the trap of Origin story, That also a bad one because it doesn't explains how the character got his powers. So if you want to watch it desperately, keep your brain aside.
House of Secrets: The Burari Deaths (2021)
A must watch, but not for the faint hearted
This series focuses on the most important aspects of Indian society. Extreme patriarchy, overly glorifying religion, extremely controlling parents, complete submission to the authoritative figures in family, too much "sanskaar" and a facade of happiness.
This family was your typical conservative right wing family, always believing in god, patriarch of the family and never questioning his authority. There was no one in the family liberal enough to question this authoritative member. And after a little bit of success there was a complete submission from all family members. It's not like any of the members were illiterate, in fact even the female members were highly educated, but in such families you can't even raise your voice against your father.
They could have been saved if only this family had one person who was liberal enough and had just showed enough bravery to call the police in time.
Imlie (2020)
Best show on Indian TV
People who are giving negative reviews to this show are the same ones who promote polygamy for women, promote extra marital relationships for women, support women who cheat their husbands. But when a husband does the same they call him misogynist, Monster, patriarchal. This show perfectly captures the mind of a three flawed characters, the drama is gripping, everything is so organic that nothing feels forced. Best show I have seen in a long time, don't miss.
Zombie Reddy (2021)
Nothing new or interesting
Indian Film industry has produced very few Zombie movies till date. Bollywood has made Masterpiece like Go Goa Gone(2013) and Tamil Industry had Cliched but thoroughly entertaining movie like Miruthan (2015). Although I would Highly recommend Watching Miruthan over The most boring Zombie Reddy (2021).
"Zombie Reddy" is a Telugu Language Zombie "Comedy". I mentioned Comedy because that's what the makers said it is. I had really high hopes after watching the trailer. It was trying to incorporate current pandemic situation and Zombie virus into one movie, and I said "What a brilliant idea !" But then I saw the movie and it was utterly disappointing. Zombie make up and Vfx look fake. Even action scenes aren't interesting to watch. Comedy falls flat. Supporting characters are cheap and disgusting to see on screen.
I felt really bad for the leading trio of actors. Teja Sajja, Anandhi and Daksha Nagarkar were trying really hard to save this snooze fest. But they were ultimately betrayed by lazy writing and bad dialogues. I wish the best for their future.
So if you have seen the trailer, then you have seen all the best parts of the movie. There is not even an attempt at comedy throughout the whole film, and the focus of the movie is hardly the Zombies. The whole focus was Faction war. So if you don't want to waste 2 hours of your life, don't watch this movie.
Sukh Mhanje Nakki Kay Asta (2020)
When the plot of original serial is over and remake has nothing left to show.
The serial started out good. It fresh take on old marathi movies till the wedding of Gauri and Jaydeep happened. But now they are just stretching the serial as they are running out of plot. The villains keep tormenting Gauri and her sufferings seem to have no end. The main characters don't punish Shalini severely and even when they try Gauri doesn't allows them to. Which is even more frustrating. Such a waste of Talent. Because both Girija Prabhu and Mandar Jadhav were fantastic and had great chemistry. but instead of focusing on their love, the serial consistently focuses more on Shalini's conspiracies and doesn't punish her.
So if you want to get into severe depression, watch this serial at your own risk.
Yeh Saali Aashiqui (2019)
Best debut by both actors
I was really impressed by the trailer. Plot is predictable but still the movie manages to engage you till the end. Movie is full of twists and turns. First half makes root for the protagonist, which makes second half even more thrilling. Vardhan Puri delivers honest performance and he is impressive in debut. Shivalika Oberoi looks cute and delivers amazing performance. She steals the show from Vardhan.
So all in all this one is best thrillers of this year. Don't miss this one!
Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety (2018)
Bollywood at it's worst.
I never write a review, but this movie forced me to write. This movie is exactly what bollywood does every time. Viral trailers, viral songs & generate enough hype so any crap can become a big hit. Take any Salman Khan or Varun Dhawan movie for instance.
The biggest problem with this movie is it has no major conflict at all. You don't feel anything for any character, you don't care if titu gets married or not, even the twist & turns are copied from Mere Brother ki Dulhan. Watch that movie instead of this.
All the performances are good, but as I said it leaves no impact. Songs are good, as they can be played at parties, but don't expect anything deep in them either. This movie gives you a feel of watching a bad TV show rather than a movie.
So at the end I would not recommend it to anyone. Even if you just want some entertainment, cause it doesn't entertains at all. Watch Mere Brother Ki Dulhan instead.
