Mrs Undercover (2023)
Absolute crap
The director and scriptwriter should be banned from making movies. This is utter crap. Everything sucks. There's no logic or plausibility in plot. This could have been better suited to being a Bengali serial, because the absence of any plausibility is seen spectacularly in that area.
Added onto this is crappy performance, crappy music and crappy dialogues. The dialogues should get a special mention because of how cringe they are.
No idea why Radhika Apte and Sumit Vyas says yes to this movie. Maybe because the makers are friends. But 'dost dost na raha' in this case.
Avoid seeing this. Or don't, if you're a movie masochist.
Zachowaj spokój (2022)
White people series
It's polish and simply a white people series dealing with white people's problems that one can't relate with. The English dubbing is horrible, adding on to boring insipid quotient. Parents do cheers with glasses of wine as crime after crime unfold involving people around them. Waste of time.
Taj Mahal 1989 (2020)
Showing cream rolls doesn't recreate 1989
The series claims to be of 1989, but it got everything wrong. They recreated some period pieces like karamchand to bring upon a nostalgic feeling, but make no mistake, this is absolute trash.
Here characters hug in cafes, youth are shown to be okay with pre-marital sex, cakes in bakeries look like cakes from today, people are celebrating Valentine's Day in 1989!! They just got NOTHING right.
The female college goer talks like an absolute bimbo who's interested in nothing but materialism, another wannabe cool character thinks this obsession with sex covers up for his inability to understand "love"....and all character stupidly go on saying they don't understand what is "love". Like, seriously?? How crass can the makers be? Have you ever heard about something called "characterization "??
I don't know who from Netflix decides on these kind of shows to be brought from India, but whoever that person is, they got it very wrong to give unskilled directors and makers to make such a tacky, cringe show.
I feel like I wasted my time by watching the first episode. And of course it's tough to go beyond that.
Jawaani Jaaneman (2020)
It shouldn't even be called a film.
The film is probably getting lot of functionality from the PR team, influenced by which I also went to see this film and now regret it for wasting my time. Forget the "father-daughter" angle, this film doesn't even bother to establish any iota of character development.
Throughout the whole film, in every ****ing scene, "happy" punjabi music goes on as background score even if when the scene is about Saif Ali Khan opening his own doors or landing up in somebody's else's door and about to ring the bell.
They peed all over a thing called "film plausibility" alright.
Funny moments? Yeah right. If you find Kapil Sharma funny, then maybe yes, these are the kind of films you could find funny and "humane" and what not.
Fan (2016)
It's difficult to match King Khan's performance
I'll try not to be emotional in this, although as a Shah Rukh Khan fan I felt waves of emotions while watching the movie and after it ended it was an emotional moment to see the King Khan back with a blinding, thundering, stupendous performance for which we (the fans) have waited for so long.
The idea of the movie was interesting, and the script has several plot holes, some of them, pretty big. Character consistency of Aryan Khanna the star is dubious. But.... what gives?
The overall execution, that is, the direction, the dialogues, the pacing, the grey areas, and above-all the performance of SRK which sometimes makes it a one-man show simply because he doesn't allow you to see anything else. For non-fans of SRK, this movie will show them how to play a character of a young person without behaving like a half-retard, ears and eyes popping out, juvenile character whose puerile emotions are only based in innocence. For the average Indian audience whose cinematic vision derives from star worship and alignment of the star with their own personal values, "intelligent acting" equates how they see the world and what they are fed as "acting" and "cinema" packaged as "intelligent" which is as genuine and honest as "Patanjali" Maggi.
But SRK, thankfully, didn't fall into that straitjacket. There are moments in the film where you could be wondering about how a certain thing could be possible (don't want to give away spoilers) but not for one second, will you have second thoughts on credibility of emotions portrayed and character portrayed.
Go and see this film if you want to see good performances.
Yes, I wrote good *performances*, because honestly speaking, there are two people in it--SRK the star, and SRK the actor.
I'm so glad I finally got to see the actor, for which I became his fan. Proud of my star.
