Naruto: Shippuden (2007–2017)

9/10

28 October 2023

Warning: Spoilers

Once in a millennium exceptional Anime series which teaches us a ton of life. It's story of Rise of an Orphaned boy to be his village hero. Each character in the Anime are perfect, each story teaches us each thing for life.

Here are how I describe some of the characters with limited words 1. Naruto Uzumaki - Never Giving up, Prankster, Knucklehead, a fool at times 2. Sakura Haruna - Often after Sasuke, but turns to be most caring for her closest like Naruto or Sasuke 3. Sasuke Uchiha - Raw talent but blinded by Avenge 4. Kakashi Hatake - Exceptional fighter, Cold blooded, Copycat, Binded by rules 5. Jiraiya - Sagely person, his students reached pinnacle of the Universe, a pervert, An Author whose books inspired many. Said to be a legendary Sanin 6. Shikamaru Nara - Greatest Tactician, Grandmaster but Lazy 7. Choji Akimichi - Chubby, High physical strength, Kind at heart 8. Neji Hyuga - Born with Destiny, Sees through Deception, Clever fighter, First among friends to be a Jonin (Officer) but sacrifices himself for his friends.

9. Rock Lee - Born with no hereditary talent, his hardwork and stubbornness made him finest Martial Artist (Inspired by Rock Lee) 10. Hinata Hyuga - Innocence, Introvert 11. Orochimaru - Genetic Engineer, filled with greed 12. Ithachi Uchiha - Hero in disguise, slain his entire clan to serve his village, later joined extremist organisation as a spy but a rogue for his villagers 13. Iruka - Lost Parents at young age to 9 tails. First light for Naruto. Naruto would be a rogue without him.

Here are just some of the characters & I don't have willpower to type about everyone 😅

For many Jiraiya's or Neji's death are saddest moments but for me the way the series ended is 💔. I expected Exceptional talents like Rock Lee, Neji Hyuga or Nara Shikamaru would achieve something big but the way they are destined at is so unfair. I wish this Anime has a better ending 😔. Saw couple of episodes of Boruto but it's no more Naruto itself.

Arihato Masashi Kishimoto 🙏

Avatar: The Way of Water (2022)

8/10

My first ever 3D watch 😍

18 December 2022

Honestly, the plot is very much as the first part. Rather the movie is shot more consciously & lengthy. Just as all the beings in the first part believe in spirituality of forest is replaced by sea this time. VFX are like God level. The whole series is planned for 5 parts. I expect rest 3 parts to be plotted in different worlds.

This series is not just an entertainment, it also conveys a message of divine nature relations with our day to day life. If we observe carefully, it teaches us how to protect & live with our environment, as we loosing our interactions with the spirit of nature in the technology booming world. That's why movie named 'Avatar' Avatar is a Sanskrit word which doesn't have an exact translation into English. The best I came up with is Shapeshifting or Transforming just as Jake Sully turns into Toruk Makto. Or Avatar also means Incarnation or Descent.

🙏

Radhe Shyam (2022)

5/10

Fairytale

14 May 2022

It's not actually a movie but more like a disney produced fantasy. Graphics clearly depicts that of a fantasy movies. They want to create a epic love story but seemed more like a disney-princess story for me. Movies with such plot would be more interesting to be read as a comic with some mixed crisp.

I really don't like Prabhas's voice in it, seemed like a drunkard & he acted as if he's in his retiring age. By the way, do I like the folk way to make the movie & how they met & got intended to each other. Their relation reminded me of Aladdin & Jasmine.

RRR (2022)

6/10

Carving but Unnatural

1 April 2022

Set in the 1920's, a short exaggerated outline which primarily focuses on different personalities & common enthusiastic quench among the two main roles. One of them on rescue mission of his kin whereas other fights to free from captivity of colonial power. Both meet as rivals but merged into as a revolutionary to accompany each other and achieve their goals.

A short storyline which could end the movie in a short duration but rebellion is the one, which is stretched to fit into a time frame. There's no space for comedy or romance, a high action packed film. Film making & editing is eye catching.

Plot is carving but fights are unnatural.

Uri: The Surgical Strike (2019)

7/10

A honest review

23 January 2022

Before watching this movie I first saw documentaries of surgical strikes of both Uri & Myanmar on YT by 'Veer by Discovery'. (Removed later). As I pre-saw documentaries & then movie, I had better expectations. But clearly I felt documentaries were far better than watching this movie.

I know we Indians are patriotic & United when comes to such movies. Other than that making & spirit in the movie is quite good 👍😊

Raabta (2017)

A senseless cherish full movie

29 August 2021

I have no complaints against their acting. Actors performance really created a very healthy environment in the movie. Meeting of Shiv & Saira, their chemistry is just amazing to watch and admire. The thing I really felt senseless is the script. The script is like they get reincarnated to win their love, is just mad. Even fairytales have a better story. Working of love in present life I felt so beautiful to see but senseless reincarnation ruined the story. To create some drama, I say reincarnation can be replaced by little misunderstanding due to Zakir interference in between, movie would definitely be far better.

Godzilla vs. Kong (2021)

5/10

Good for kids 🤠 watch

21 August 2021

There's nothing much in the plot to expect. No twists & just a straight story. Graphics, fights are well made. There's no nudity, abusive language or any bad content. I recommend this movie as a kid watch. Kids are definitely going to enjoy such movies. As an adult, there's nothing much I expect.

Upbringing field hockey

5 August 2021

I like the way the movie describes about hockey and politics run behind a sport. Hockey has been a underrated game in India for decades. So, we really should appreciate & encourage such movie makers.

That song 'Sagame telisina abhimanyudu Ani sambarapadavaddhuraa Padmavyuham chedhin chagalige Arjunudu veeduraa Kyaa re yadhi settingaa leka Bhayapadi meeroka sweatingaa Edu kondalu mokkingaa Aata joosthe meeku seatu siragadha' is just lit & it's why many north Indians support south Indian cinema rather than bollywood.

The thing I didn't like is there are lots of game mistakes in the movie. Such as rising the ball too high. In hockey, rising ball over player's shoulder is deemed to be dangerous & given free stroke. Ball shouldn't not be raised over 18' inches from field in corner strikes. But, there's a false depreciation of gameplay in the movie shown as heroic. Also, ball cannot be striked in mid-air & ball needs to be positioned to field before forwarding.

Let's make hockey popular again.

Ramayana: The Legend of Prince Rama (1993)

10/10

Jai Sree Ram 🇮🇳 🇯🇵 🤝

17 May 2021

Many don't know that this was actually made by Japan as a friendship bond between India and Japan. A perfect depiction is made into this Anime. Wonderful 😌. Bollywood seriously needs to learn from this movie, Japanese makers have more knowledge than Bollywood.

There's a correction in the movie. Vanara's army has been continuously called as Army of monkeys, which is false. Monkeys were called Kapi or Markata in Sanskrit. Kishkindha, kingdom of Vanara's is current day Hampi, Karnataka. In Sanskrit 'Vana' means 'Forest' & 'Nara' means 'Man' which literally means Men of the Forest. Many misunderstands that Vanara's came only from Kishkindha to war. But the truth is on Sugreev's order, Vanara's came from whole of the earth such as Vindhyas, Tibet, 'Ilavarta-varsha', a place where there was dark and light for 6 months i.e Polar regions as mentioned in Valmiki Ramayana. According to Valmiki, Vanara's were even described as 'Kapi-Kunchara' which means Elephant sized Monkeys in Sanskrit.

Description of Vanara's in Ramayana exactly matches with Anthropological features of Neantherthel men such as big and sloppy foreheads, residing in caves, humaid bone, hairy bodies, protruding jaw bone, etc. We can still find interconnected mountain caves in Hampi even today, which was residence of Sugreev's army. Neantherthel men said to gone extinction by atleast 2,30,000 years by modern researchers. Tails of Neantherthel men were never proven to be existed as tails had no bones and flesh of the tails decay sooner.

NOTE: Ramayana is an 'Ithihas' i.e. History not any mere mythology. 'Theory of Evolution', 'Homo Sapiens (we) evolved only 200,000 years ago' - All these are western scientist's statements. As Vedic culture is the only culture, which describes history beyond 10,000 BC, the world is described well in both Ramayana and Mahabharata.

Jai Shree Ram 🏹

Baaghi 3 (2020)

Science of Stupid

5 May 2021

Physics committed suicide after watching this. Even Tom and Jerry has way better logic than this 🤣. He's not a one man army, he's a one man planet. He destroys fighter copters, tankers all alone. In between he swivels hanging from a chain which he draws it from a open sky. He's not a man, he's baap of Superman. Still thinking 🤔 how big his brother shouts. When his brother shouts 'Roonie' for first time in movie in the theatre, he still hears it sitting inside a closed cinema hall. This is perfect meaning of senseless movie. Nevermind, bollywood have loads of such scenes.

I wanted to give it 1 ⭐ but gave 2 because those 1 man illogical, anti-physics fight scenes made my day 😄

Tumbbad (2018)

8/10

Horror masterpiece from Indian culture

17 April 2021

Actually, I always hated Indian horror movies, as they were too dramatic and illogical. Indian horror were worth nothing infront of Hollywood's horror movies.

But this movie is definitely on another level. This is how thrilled a movie would be if merged between horror and true Indian culture.

There are no Khan's here, just some unknown actors. No mocking of any culture unlike bollywood movies.

It conveys a message how horrible a person can be, if has endless greediness and desire.

This movie is made completely in old Indian style. Character's names, cloth, ancestry defines it all.

MORAL OF THE MOVIE: 'WORLD HAS ENOUGH FOR EVERYONE'S NEED BUT NOT FOR EVERYONE'S GREED'

Vaaranam Aayiram (2008)

9/10

Ahead of it's time.

2 March 2021

Friend: Is it a Love story? Me: No! Friend: Is it an action movie? Me: No! Friend: Is it a Horror movie? Me: No! Is it a conspiracy movie? Me: No! Friend: Then why is the movie so rated? Me: 1. Living relationship 2. Traveling to find oneself 3. Discovering oneself 4. Pre martial sex 5. Moving on with life 6. Cool parenting 7. Letting children live on their own terms 8. Giving them right amount of freedom 9. Talking to children about their life 10. Giving them letting privacy 11. Passionate about their career 12. Can girls propose first? Ofcourse, they can! 13. MOST IMPORTANT FATHER - SON DUO RELATIONSHIP

I have seen a number of movies, but none of them is like this one. Am sure, none of this decade or upcoming movies could be like this one. Hope, this movie exists forever. Watching this movie is like finding 'The Best In Quintillion'.

Story writer has shown an entire life story of Surya and Krishnan in a single movie. This movie is dedicated to every father son duo.

Story beautifully depicts an ideal relationship between father and son. I can feel my dad's presence in Krishnan's role. Love you Dad 💝.

Background music is so charming, it drags feelings out of us.

Return of Hanuman (2007)

10/10

Evergreen

17 November 2020

This is my favourite childhood movie which never goes from my memory 😀. Even I don't know how many countless times I have seen it, but still wanna watch it more. Behaviour of Narada, Brahma and Hanuman makes very interesting. Usage of modern technology by Gods is just fun to watch. This movie changed my view on cartoon movies a lot. Whoever remember these characters - Two scientists, Kute wale raksash, Army of monkeys, Alien 👽 news channel reporters, these characters are unerasable & always make me laugh. The opening song when Hanuman travels earth 🌎 for first time and dances with Statues, Sharks🦈, Cricketers, etc. gives me goosebumps. Am a late 90's born kid, today in my early 20's and when I first saw the movie I was 7 years old. And still feel excited to watch the movie 😻. Far better than many non-animated movies. Whoever remember this dialogue - 'Maruti kuch different hai' 😆 If you are not from Indian culture, am sure you won't like the movie 🍿, because it seems so illogical and ironic to you. Indian culture is full of such characters, and logics. Only a Indian can feel the fun of the movie. But you can still enjoy the cute voices and songs.

Re-written script

5 September 2020

Warning: Spoilers

The plot is similar to Tollywood movie Kick. Where Criminal challenges Police to catch him for his crimes. Comedy is replaced by action in this movie. They wanted to make out a thriller movie, but it isn't so thrilling. In army, if a personnel runs out of his Casual Leave (CL) he's given Emergency Leave (EL) in such cases but they changed it. Movie is not so good or not so bad. It's a one time watch movie.

3 Idiots (2009)

10/10

What a real education is?

28 August 2020

If you are a student, who's forced to score marks instead of conceptual learning, then this movie is dedicated to you. A must movie for every technical student. It makes you aware that real education is learning how to think not learning of facts. This is how a student can do wonders, when he comes to know the real meaning of education. I want every parent to watch this movie and know what their children really needs in education. If you can't understand Hindi, this movie is remade in Tamil and Telugu namely, Nanban and Snehitudu. Every child is a flower, each flower has it's own beauty. Similarly, let your child choose his profession, don't force them to live like another flower. Because a flower can't change it's beauty and characteristics. Let them rule it at what they are awesome 🤗

Paper Boy (2018)

6/10

A different movie with a cringey love story

27 August 2020

This movie is a way more different from other movies, no extra action, unwanted shots etc. Straightly focusses on the plot. If you like a bit messing and spicy movie, it's not for you. It's a very calming and relaxing movie. I felt the movie too slow and no extra acts to make movie entertaining and alive. Debut acting is so simple and natural without any overaction and expressing too much.

War (2019)

9/10

Blowout your brains

17 May 2020

I can't believe that it's a fictional movie. It's like a real time show. It's like a Hollywood action movie, amazing combat skills. Story is crisping & thrilling. I don't understand why some people hate it. It's best of Hrithik's movies. Both the main roles Hrithik & Tiger were perfectly set in their roles. If you like chasing and adventurous movies, it will blow out your brains . In climax, how can a building exist in polar region🤔. It's impossible to build a building in such damp & frozen ice conditions.

1971: Beyond Borders (2017)

5/10

Remake of actual story😤

16 May 2020

The actual story was remade. In real life, the war ends as IAF attacks Pakistani Armed Infantry on very morning after a fierce battle fought all night. Mohanlal is expressive well, but he looks too fluffy and chubby making unfit for a soldier's physique. His war actions were funny 😂 and me laugh. There are many good actors who will fit for it. Allu Sirish acting was good and well fitted. I feel movie could be made much better. I felt a bit intresting and sure a stuff to watch. RIP to them 🙏, who think the whole plot is real. I admire the opening scene where, both Indian and Pakistani soldier treat each other despite knowing story of their fathers.

Story of a legend

7 April 2020

Story seems legendary to me. First, Nani is a high class player in Ranji cricket. He has to give up because of his health issues 😔. He re-enters his career for sake of his son. And marks the life of a legend. I got the first impression when Nani's life story is written down as a novel and becomes one of the best seller 😉. I hope if I could really get the novel and enjoy reading it. But, in real life it was not possible that he plays as a dashing player at age of 36. He didn't played for years and he's back in the form, after just practicing for a day. It sounds ironical.

Kobbari Matta (2019)

1/10

Disgusting

14 December 2019

Warning: Spoilers

Worst movie ever, I watch. Truly spoils sake of relationships. In few scenes, I even felt like vomiting. Some of the scenes are drenching a victim's thirst with other person's sweat, adding sweat in food to just reduce addition of salt. So illogical things. I don't even get how could actors support such a movie.
