Aavesham (2024)
8/10
Worth Watching
24 May 2024
FaFa this time came with a very different set.

Basic normal college going students gets into never ending series of errors.

Things will obviously go dark when Fahad Fasil is in the Frame. He played his character brilliantly as he always does.

You will connect with the college ruckus that goes in college and hostels.

Please don't expect a great storyline or unexpected twists but just watch it for the actors on the screen.

A typical South Indian movie with good performances.

Aashish vidhyarti was also present in one scene and performed his act gracefully.

A 7 movie but will give 8/10 for Fahad.

Chamkila from a Different and Better Lens
15 April 2024
Being a north indian I have heard about Chamkila in some podcasts and read in some articles but never knew that This figure was so huge and full of daring.

This film clearly shows us that why Imtiaz Ali will always be one of the finest director Hindi Film Industry has ever got. He showed Amar Singh Chamkila from a very different lens and also exactly why he was so celebrated.

Diljit Dosanjh being a punjabi and a singer of somewhat same heights gave life to this character and did justice to his role. Parineeti Chopra did not waste his chance to shine and done superb work.

Music, Screenplay, Cinematography plus the research on this movie is outstanding.

Showing live footages with movie scenes was a very good move and kept the soul of character intact.

9/10 for this.

Power Paandi (2017)
9/10
Nice movie
24 March 2024
Tamil cinema has maintained it's standards by movies like these.

You won't feel for a second that the Director of the movie is a debutant but Dhanush Fails to disappoint in whatever he does.

Storyline is good,Acting is superb and every actor plays their part well. Rajkiran's work is commendable and he clearly steals the show.

First half of the movie is quite entertaining but second half becomes bit slow but not boring.

Dhanush being the director of this movie gave him an upperhand to understand the role better and he played it meritoriously(Like he always did).

BGM was important and made the movie more beautiful.

A 8/10 movie but extra marks for Rajkiran

9/10 for this.

Beautiful
21 March 2024
As expected from Tom Hanks, Delivering a good performance again.

Movie has got a simple story but the story telling is outstanding. Every character in the movie did justice to their role and acted well.

Like every good film this film creates an aura of its own and gradually you feel for Otto(Tom Hanks) and understand him. His character develops from a rude old man to a loving figure.

Movie runs on a set pace and does not lose it.

Story goes fine with a good screenplay. Some serious scenes mixed with light hearted comedy.

At the end it leaves you with a light feeling and concludes as a Beautiful Film.

8/10 is the score for this.

One can invest his/her 2 hours in this.

Warning: Spoilers
With a catchy title Netflix came up with this thriller.

Starting and plot seems basic in the beginning but something fishy starts showing up on the screen as the male lead(Sunny Kaushal) approaches Neha(Yami Gautam) and lures her in his trap.

Comes out that the whole thing is about a heist.

First half of the movie makes a very good built up for rest of the film. Screenplay is gripping and don't bore you even for a minute.

There is only one song in the film which is a treat to ears.

Story and screenplay are handled with care but there are lots of twists and turn which makes it hard at times to understand. A simple storyline would have worked.

Movie could have been better but as per Hindi Film Standards in the present scenario the movie is Good and earns a 7 easily.

Spirited Away (2001)
8/10
Beautiful
2 March 2024
A beautiful movie with a great plot.

It starts with a family going somewhere and they lost their way in the woods. Things starts changing and a child founds that they are stuck.

Movies goes on touching your depth and explores wide range of emotions.

Mixed very well with Suspense, Thrill, Joy and sadness. Chihiro's journey in saving her parents will make you her friend.

Director Hayao Miyazaki shows friendship and love in a bright light.

One thing that makes Japanese Cartoons light years ahead from the rest of the world is their Quality Animation and this film is not untouched with this. Excellent animation. It doesn't feel that this movie is 23 years old.

Ending is at a happier point.

8/10.

Dharavi (1992)
8/10
Excellent
1 March 2024
Warning: Spoilers
It's interesting to see that a Director coming from Elite class has shown the exact opposite world quite clear and brilliantly.

Movie shows the Aspirations,Dreams and Struggle of a hardworking migrant who wants to succeed but gets trapped in poverty and scams.

Sudhir Mishra has done an outstanding Direction. Script is solid and Screenplay is Up To Mark. The film is beautifully shot.

When it comes to acting the whole cast has justified their performances. Even the smallest of the roles are good and leaves an impression.

Film starts at a very positive pace but by the end you are left hollow as if you are a part of Dharavi.

8/10.

Something Special
29 February 2024
This is the second Wong kar wai movie that I have watched and can say this Guy is different from league.

Chinese movies in particular is a different experience all together.

This film is not something very complex or unpredictable, A simple story which goes on and on and at the end leaves you half empty and half filled.

Background music is as good as we experienced in Wai's Movies, Awesome BGM that goes perfect with the screenplay.

Screenplay, Cinematography, Story , Dialogues are perfectly at their place.

Movie is shot with brilliance.

It could have been a happy ending but it would alter the whole experience.

From my End this film earns a 8/10 very easily.

Good but could have been better
28 February 2024
Warning: Spoilers
This is one of the few chinese movies I have watched and First Wong Kar-wai movie.

Movie starts with a good plot and then turns out to be better and the story development is also good. Drug Dealer Girl(Briggite Lin) in the first story has played her part well and shown very cold exactly as needed. Takeshi Kaneshiro played the role of a cope named 223. Takeshi was good but irritating some times but again that was the demand from his character. Story 1 ends at a suspense but was a good experience though.

Now comes the second story. Again here is a cop named Cop 663(Tony Leung) and a girl she is attracted to after his breakup but there are so many ups and down (Many of them could have been avoided). This story ends at a lighter(Happy) Note.

Overall the movie was interesting, Screenplay and Cinematography was Good.

Will watch Wong Kar-Wai Movies.

I would rate this a good 7/10.

Good Movie
27 February 2024
This is the first Kundan Shah Movie that I watched.

This film is considered one of the best directed film in Hindi Cinema and it deserves to be in that list.

All the characters have done justice to their roles.

With a good screenplay this film gives you a theatre play feel and seems that all the rules of theatre are followed here.

The film is a chaos in perfect order and everything falls at its place. Without a doubt this is where Hindi Cinema Peaked.

Jaane bhi do yaaron will remain the flag bearer of parallel cinema that was flourishing in late 70s and early 80s. Would recommend to watch this.

This film will earn a 8/10 easily.

Gone Girl (2014)
9/10
Thumbs Up
27 February 2024
Warning: Spoilers
One word to describe this movie is Awesome.

Movie starts with a normal story and a normal couple. Female lead seems to be cool and chill.

Suddenly she moves out of the picture and things starts to go south for her husband and he gets framed for her murder for the first half it's hard to imagine anything else.

But the female lead plans everything beyond perfection and the plot changes 180 degree.

David Fincher did it again. You cannot leave your seat once you started watching this and at the end it leaves you with mixed feelings.

Rosamund Pike plays the character so well that you will love to hate her but her reasons justifies her character.

An easy 9/10 for this gem.

Musafir (1957)
8/10
Way to good than current Bollywood garbage
26 February 2024
Didn't expected this movie to be that good but it turned out to be a gold from golden era of Hindi Movies.

This movie reached to me from word of mouth, Heard about it in an interview from a renowned director(National Award Winner).

The story telling is so simple and grasping. Basic screenplay but keeps everything clear. Little bit of light hearted comedy dialogues which keeps the movie alive.

Hrishikesh Mukherjee was a master in his Genre and always made movies that can be viewed again and again but will still look fresh.

Engaging movie that keeps you stuck to your chairs and make you think about the stories shown.

8/10 for this masterpiece.

Superb

Nothing can beat Netflix when it comes to documentary. I randomly started watching this docu series without any expectations but it turned out to be one of the best things I ever saw in my life.

Never thought or imagined about WWII like this but the visuals and story telling is magic.

Felt empty after the series was over.

It was so carefully edited and delivered that you cannot keep your eyes and mind away. You will be always curious about what is going to happen next.

But I felt there is somewhat historically inaccurate so it will harm 1 ranking otherwise this series is a 10/10 I am giving it a 9 very happily.
