Never thought Netflix could show such a simple & beautiful case. An ensemble cast with good storyline & tight direction. The good thing about Mamla Legal Hai showcases many paradoxes of India yet never ever going cheesy or overboard. The episodes are good & cast fits the bill. There's also a unique twist in most episodes especially in the last ones. The story arc develops well almost like both Jolly LLBs. The character of Langoor man is fascinating & I was reminded of Ardhnarishwar from Gulaal. There are other characters which are equally good but to me Ravi Kishan is heart & soul of this show. He always had good screen presence but here he showcases his true range. Phenomenal Ravi Kishan & as he always - Zindagi jhand ba phir bhi ghamand ba... 😊

This is a movie of journey of a man hailing from a village in Morena, near Gwalior in MP. The portrayal, the journey as well as the set up is too realistic. The cinematography, BGM are all top notch. All characters are brilliantly written & acted. Leading lady Medha Shankar is absolutely brilliant with proper emotions. But the movie has the biggest star in form of Vikrant Massey. He lives the character. Be it the scenes of helplessness in village or in Delhi, he's too good. The scenes in Flour mill are too emotional & brilliantly enacted. There's no preachiness yet strikes the right notes. Vidhu Vinod Chopra you have created a masterpiece. This one is your best work ever including Parinda & easily the best movie this year & probably of last 2/3 years.

If this is entertaining or romantic, then I don't know where Manmarziyan, Tamasha or Laila Majnu would stand (classics - I guess). A bogus movie with bad acting (overacting). I was expecting layered nuances of modern day relationships & other modern day problems, instead got a mind numbing experience of overacting & pointless scene after scene. What's the purpose of our characters in this movie & why do they exist ? In which world do our characters live, no movie had Covid, no one ever faces competitive entrances, no one faces recession, no one ever has decent conversation over Coffee. Either they dance in slo mo after taking shots or they are sleeping together. Arey Idiots, world is different & beautiful, much more than silliness you guys project. Bollywood movies have lost it completely. May be someday better cinema with better actors will make more moolah at box office. Sorry guys totally wasted my time & money. Meanwhile, we wait for Oppenheimer.

This movie on Netflix was missed by me. Saw it today on a lazy afternoon. It's trailer created my interest & I watched it. One of very very rare movies which brought tears to my eyes especially meeting someone after many years. The nostalgia trip to childhood & adolescence is beautifully captured - made me think of my childhood days & places where I lived. Someday I will also revisit. Kumud Mishra you are a gem & so is your performance. Divya Dutta & Abhishek Banerjee are equally good. The direction is good & movie is carried by the their lead performers. The locations are good & storyline simple. Worth a watch.

Saw it today in August,2022. What a brilliant piece of cinema. Almost like Revenant in many ways - Revenge, landscape etc. The detailing is brilliant. Navdeep Singh is a superb director very good at creating different world. Saif, Zoya are very good...Tremendous movie...

A movie which may not be perfect but Jitendra Kumar elevates it to another level altogether. Brilliant. There's magic in few scenes. Overall very good.

Being new to this Anime genre, I am amazed by the artwork, uniqueness of characters & fantastic world. Of course my favourite is Tanjiro - just pure good soul in dark world. Awesomeness.

This is movie for ages - didn't watch when it released. Watched after a year & have watched many times in parts. Ranbir & Deepika have stunned but the star is Imtiaz- the director. This is the pinnacle of his cinema. The songs, the cinematography, the angst, the catharsis, the catalyst, the symbolism, the narrative, the language - everything's perfect. I watch 10 minutes sometimes, sometimes more. At least 20 or more viewings - why not create a part 2 - where everything's perfect - an after story- just a thought...

Chris Pratt has a fantastic screen presence. The story is simple but effective. I loved the movie.

Nadiya ke paar is a phenomenon. A true reflection of rural India in those times & it was brilliant time for sure. Remembering grandpa days. People used to come in bullock cart to see this movie. It was a huge huge hit. The music & cast was superb. Rajshri's pinnacle I guess. HAHK is a poor copy. They don't make movies like this anymore.

Gulaal is so layered & dialogues are so good that it takes movie to another level. One of my all time favourites. Piyush Mishra's music is all time classic. Lyrics stunning. In this ensemble of geniuses like KK Menon, Deepak Dobriyal, Aditya Srivastava, Piyush Mishra - Abhimanyu Singh stands tall. He is one of my favourite artists since. Loved him in Upanishad Ganga as well. He didn't get many roles to actually showcase his talent but then he killed it in Gulaal.

Dev D is tour de force. I watched many years back when it released & would watch it again soon. I have been listening to its music off & on over many years. Amit Trivedi is a genius.

Many production houses are writhing in pain after seeing Soni, Milestone, Newton, Sherni & the likes. Sherni is brilliant, fantastic pace, lovely mood & great actors. Hats off to Amit Masurkar.

Brilliant acting, story & plot. All actors are wonderful but Manoj Bajpai in both seasons is on a different level altogether. War always creates injustices. Why can't we live in peace ? May be someday we will evolve.

This is why cinema was invented. Brilliant actors, gripping narrative & SSR we miss you.

Ok Arjun Kapoor can't act usually but he has done better this time. Fantastic story with lovely backgrounds & score. Supporting cast is also good. Parineeti shines.

A movie which had few memorable and few simple moments. Totally enjoyed- lead actor is very good & has lot of potential.

This is a movie for ages. Remarkable, relevant, metaphorical for our existence. What is real ? Are we free ? You never had a camera in my head - Truman. This movie remains Jim Carey's nearly perfect movie - though he is brilliant in so many, yet this is spectacular. Watch it now.

Seriously a flawless execution of whatever it is. I rate it as a cult equal to Sholay. Brilliant characters, fantabulous dialogues & stunning everything.

What to say about the Matrix which has not already been said ? Sheer brilliance in every department. Those seeing faults in CGI can they come to terms with the fact this Universe looks exactly like it's meant to be real or unreal ? Why correlate with our Universe & how we see it ? 😊 Also, as for finding faults - well it's your limited understanding that you can't see the sheer beauty of Matrix Universe, concept of Maya, free will & choice. Matrix is not a film, it's a revolution. You don't get it now, one day you surely will, one day.... 😊

Each frame is like a painting. Songs are wonderful. Story is great, probably the best romantic movie of last decade. May be it's beyond romance, about love & what it can do. Avinash Tiwary is brilliant. Tripti Dimri is decent. I loved it, so will you.

These kind of breezy romantic movies need some triggers of angst or catharsis or some plot twist to generate sufficient interest. The writing is pedestrian, my favourites Vikrant Massey, Yami Gautam are not upto the mark. Why did they make this movie - I have no idea ? Just watch Chemical Hearts on Amazon prime instead - it's a love story with aching beauty.

This is amongst the best movies of last decade. A tight script with fantastic performances by Ajay Devgan, Tabu, Rajat Kapoor & supporting cast. The real is what's told to be real. Unbelievable.

An expansive story was a possibility or a noir emotion churn personal journey was possible. It's good enough but could have been great. 6 stars for my favourites - Vikrant Massey & Shweta Tripathi & a cool concept.

I always used to wonder whenever I watched any classic that what would be the Universe of the characters 10/20/30 years down the line ? At least The Karate Kid Universe has been created & what brilliance. One can feel massive Mr. Miyagi influence all the time & what a series - absolutely marvellous with brilliant character arcs. Fantastic- a must watch. When's Season 3 coming ?
