Absolutely loved this movie
28 January 2024
Expect comedy, romance, drama and you'll not be disappointed.

The movie delivers strongly in all of these aspects. The story, acting, dialogues, songs, dance, cinematography all is good.

The movie delivers a knockout to all stereotypes in desi families and tries to raise awareness. It even goes further to call out the racism & differences between different cultures & tries to bring people closer by stressing to focus own commonality rather than differences. It also highlights how family members are forced to flourish the egos of the elders in the name of 'parampara' and respect.

The movie is a really good effort by Karan Johar and team.

It's a good family movie and I definitely would recommend to watch.

Way above than expectations
13 November 2023
I hadn't watched its trailer before I started watching the series. It was my boredom that pushed me to search for new exciting tv shows and somehow I stumbled on it, the rating actually convinced me to watch it.

And I was amazed how good the 1st Season was. The 2nd Season if wasn't better than 1st was still a good watch. And the 3rd was the best of all. The direction and acting in the 3rd is absolutely fantastic. In all 3 seasons, you keep guessing the murderer and end up being wrong. It's that much of a fun.

It's very rare for a new season to match the hype of the previous one. And I gotta say that this ones stands out.

Just when I had thought that how many murders can happen in the hotel & this may be the last season, the show keeps surprising us with new twists.

I can't wait for it to return next season.

Tries to portray love and family in Modern World
3 June 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Looking at the cast, featuring Ranbir & Shraddah, one would think of a guaranteed crazy, romantic love story which it is but it promises more with the presence of Dimple Kapadia, Boney Kapoor and adds a heavy family element.

The film highlights the modern day relationships which mostly are founded on the basis of likes and lusts. And later the two decide if they want to spend the rest of their lives together & if not, then, they try to break up in the most pleasant way. (The time we live in, it surely feels like relationships are like light switches, which you can turn on and off without worrying about anything, it's a normal thing).

The female lead character is a career-oriented woman who had witnessed her mother struggling in a joint-family and she loves her freedom.

She loves the male lead character but doesn't want to compromise on her objectives.

The male lead at an occasion tells her that she will have to prioritize him over her career if she wants them to get married but she refuses.

The male lead also doesn't want to leave his family and live separately. But it is shown that he is very accommodating.

The film also highlights that how desi families creep into the space of couples and newly weds unintentionally. And to show their love, they force their choices upon the couples.

It tries hard to highlight all these problems and present solutions. But it doesn't fare well due to contradicting with the basis it itself sets.

The male lead character gets weak as the movie progressives. Whereas the female lead character if not gains, also not loses the strength. It certainly feels like an effort to walk the modern-world rope where you expect a man to compromise and expect a women to stand firm.

Nevertheless, it is a fun movie to watch but it surely could've been much better.

Way better move than the review suggests
13 May 2023
It is a beautiful family movie, yes story and action scenes could've been better. But the reviews don't do Justice.

The movie does good with cast, drama, dressing, photography.

Kartik really did good, his style of acting will always entertain a big section of people. Kriti as always looked stunning on the screen.

Songs are disappointing and it is a pattern across all new Bollywood movies. Also the action like why it needs to be so fake and defy physics and commonsense.

No sexual content except a kiss.

It is much better than the crap we normally see from Bollywood these days.

If you want to enjoy a movie with family, then this will not disappoint.

Breathtaking! Biomechanics and AI
27 April 2023
When I decided to watch the movie, I wasn't expecting a good story just like any other Sci-fi movie. But this turned out to be one of the best Sci-fi movies.

Now with Generative AI taking over, the concepts of Biomechanical implants and AI assistants are coming to life. I'm glad that I didn't watch it before.

The movie reminds me of Deus Ex video game and also of The 100 tv-series.

It does justice with the plot in 90 minutes. You don't feel left out or lose. Your interest continues to spike as you go through the movie. Movies where you fail to guess about what will happen next tend to impress the audience and this is one of such movies.

The acting, cinematography, direction, plot, everything is phenomenal.

It's a must watch movie. I hope there will be a sequel.

Good Movie - Slow but Worth Watching
31 December 2022
A good movie. I loved the acting by Amir Khan and Kareena Kapoor. Surely it is slow and long but it takes time to build the character.

This movie does standout among 2022 Indian movie.

Is it the best Amir Khan movie? Nops but he always puts good effort in his movies. Should you miss this one? Nops! It is a beautiful one. You will like it.

I can also feel why some users are not impressed because it touches the religious and nationalism angle which is sensitive for some and under the current Indian gov. This is quiet expected.

So, forget about the bad review and watch it. Also don't compare it with Forrest Grump or PK movie.

Black Adam (2022)
8/10
Finally a good DC movie
21 October 2022
I think Rock has reignited the DC flame which was put off by the previous movies.

This is a really good movie. Brilliant action, good CGI, music, sound effects, coloring. Story could've been better but nonetheless it tries to tell a whole lot in 2 hours.

Support actors were good specially those who were ground people but the so called heroes ,, hmm not so sure. Though I liked Cyclone with all the colors and also Dr. Fate.

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson put in a lot of efforts and it can be seen in the movie. He did justice with the character. His entry is monstrous, he wrecks havoc.

Future looks good, don't miss that cut scene at the end ;)) it will give you an idea of the future of Black Adam & DCU.

Let's hope DC will not ruin this.

Worst Jurassic movie ever
17 July 2022
I am disappointing as much as I love this franchise.

The storyline is very predictable and that makes it boring. There is nothing new except a couple of dinosaurs.

The only rating I can give is for the cast and few punchlines. But I feel like they should've rejected the movie based on this storyline.

Thriller but feels very empty
2 July 2022
It could've had a better storyline. Feels just like another sequel which was made for money-grab.

Acting is very well from all specially the kids.

Good monsters that you can see.

Good lighting during the whole movie.

Memory (I) (2022)
6/10
Way better than expected
18 June 2022
We all know how Liam's one-man action hero type movies are.

This one is similar to them but also different at the same time and in a better way.

Storyline could have been much better.

But overall it's a good action-packed movie.

CGI is also good.

Warning: Spoilers
A good movie but a disappointing end.

Urgh!! Could've been better.

But yes, it reminds me a lot of old RomComs

Good acting though from everyone. Watch it if you are a fan of this genre.

A lot better than expectations - Good action, visuals but long and boring
4 June 2022
We all know that this Fantastic Beasts series is not going to provide us a lot. Because there isn't much in those scripts. They are just money-grabbing efforts.

The director has tried to fill that gap by stretching the movie to more than 2+ hours. It thus can be boring for many.

The focus is less on magic and more on politics which seems to be the main topic of the movie.

Yet some of the action ~ fighting scenes are remarkably good. The visuals do excite the Potter in us.

Enjoy but don't expect it to be at the level and standards of Harry Potter series.

Scream (I) (2022)

Blood, Shrieks, Surprises
2 February 2022
Worth watching in Cinema. I'm a fan of old Scream movies and I think this has really done justice with the series. We often get to see dull sequels but this one stands out.

The stab scenes are very graphical and you keep guessing about the killer throughout the movie.

I watched it in IMAX and it was a wonderful watch.

Good to kill time but very weak storyline
23 May 2021
I was hoping this would be a good sequel considering the prequel but unfortunately it turned out to be very disappointing.

There has been zero effort on character building. The movies feels like it is being rushed.

I really liked Snyder's Cut of Justice League but this seems like the equivalent of the ordinary Justice League.

So many loop holes and missed opportunities. So many questions unanswered.

Just don't try to make sense of anything what is happening in the movie and you will like it.

Nobody (I) (2021)

Sensational .. Epic .. Gunfires, Fist fights and so much more
16 April 2021
You cannot hate this movie. It is a rollercoaster ride of 1h30m of madness, brutality & bloodbath. Bob has done justice with the character, truly a gritty performer.

If you love John Wick, then you'll surely love this. Though don't expect much from the story.

The movie reminds me of the Wiz Khalifa's F&F lyrics (Gunshots in the dark, one eye closed ,, And we got it cooking like a one-eyed stove)

Way better movie than what reviews are telling
26 February 2021
The film is action packed with good CGI and lightning effects.

Story wise it is on par, but yeah something different. It features the gateway between two worlds which can be used to travel back and forth but it is not a piece of cake and involves fighting with the monsters such as dragons, giant spiders and dinosaurs.

As far as acting goes, both main actors have played the role well.

Yes there are lots of cuts but still it's worth watching. I'll for sure recommend it.

The way it ends I'm hoping for a sequel.

All about the experience of despair
5 January 2021
The movie tries to tell us what it feels when we go through tragic circumstances, when all rays of hopes seems to have faded away. What it feels like to stuck in between the transitioning worlds. How hard and cruel that experience can be...

Intense! Action packed! Charlize Theron nailed the character
28 July 2020
It is true that movie could've been much better and it feels like it loses the potential in the 2nd half but nevertheless it is an intense action-packed movie.

A full movie series can be made out of it. I'm sure a sequel will come.

Loved how badass Charlize Theron looked in the movie and she did justice with the character.

Ad Astra (2019)

Not a Sci-fi movie, events don't make any sense, poor story line
22 September 2019
Very disappointed. During the whole movie we were waiting that now something will happen but nothing happened.

This movie fails to answer all the question it raises.

Couldn't believe that Brad will make such a bad movie.

The movie's tagline says 'into the stars' but has nothing to do with the stars.

There are very few action scenes, has nothing to do with science and must be taken as a drama which highlights only the pride, anger and frustration.

It also abruptly highlights the difficulty in making decisions specially when orders and emotions collide.

But still, it fails to answer why these decisions are made and how they're related to the concept of the movie.

Don't waste your money if you're looking for Sci-fi experience. It isn't a Sci-fi move.

My Rating: 2/10

Anna (II) (2019)

Worth spending Bucks on , Good Action movie
5 September 2019
In general, it is a good movie. You'll enjoy it if you don't compare it with Nikita (1999). Strong performance by Sasha Luss, the action scenes are very well acted.

Story switches a lot, so much between years that you lose the track but at the same time it excites you. It can be boring if you aren't into twists and mysteries.

Movie reminded me of Kill Bill and Uma Thurman. But no way close to that level.

Is it worth spending money on? Yes because you'll enjoy it.

Not as bad as the ratings suggest
27 January 2019
Warning: Spoilers
It's a movie which has drama and action. It features a story which attracts the public. Who don't want to see their loved ones brought back to life?

The movie features a timeline where humans have enhanced their capabilities so much they they can copy the brain of a dead person and then paste it into the memory of a robot. They can literally map the whole human brain and can delete the memories they don't wish the subject to remember.

Though the story takes a turn when the main role decides to clone the bodies of his family who dies in the car crash. Yes, they do human cloning.

Now if we don't jump into the details on how and why, the movie will fascinate you.

But if we decide to go into the details as the our human brain will ask us that how such a complicated process of human cloning can take place in the basement of a house and all subjects of different ages can take 17 days to fully grow? (Because a child should take less days to reach his/her age than someone who's much older like a mother).

I can list many and I'm sure those who will watch will also find these issues with the storyline but the bottom line is that this is an intriguing idea which is poorly implemented but still I would recommend it to people to watch.
