Relatos salvajes (2014)
Starts with a bang and ends with a bang, everything is is pretty mid.
Wild tales, I a compilation of short stories, where it is the protagonist chooses rage and revenge out of all the other emotions for the people who harmed them. And it is shown that how their life changes or goes wrong after that. It is a comedy, that generally plays around that idea of what the protagonist thought would happen and what it's rage led to.
I am gonna give it a great 7 stars, as this movie is a great watch although the quality and consistency of the short stories vary and it gets to get lesser and lesser funny as the movie progresses
I am stealing: getting all the people who harmed me in a plane and crashing the plane and when in the car sequence, when I thought it's gonna end it didn't and it got like a never ending loop.
Tokyo Trial (2017)
A thought provoking drama, if not a courtroom drama
The movie starts with 11 jurists from around the world to give the politicians and other people responsible for thier crimes in the World War II, where all of them are adament to give them a 'Fair Trail' but most of them just wants to see them hanging for their crimes. The movie is about the legal framework around war crimes at that time, and has some exception performances from great actors from around the world. Late Irrfan Khan plays Justice Radhabinod Pal and gives one of his best performance.
Steal: how to get into character when you don't relate to it.
Justification of violence, when violence is a reflex.
Madgaon Express (2024)
Bollywood's answer to "The Hangover" series
Madgaon Express, is a simple comedy movie, with situational jokes, where three friends somehow endup between gang war of drugs mafia in Goa. A simple plot, but the humour in between is great, it is something you might have missed in Hindi movies.
The movie isn't brilliant, but a movie with a really fresh screenplay, the jokes are situational and funny. And the guy who plays the antagonist, has amazing comic timing, it's really a movie which feels great because the acting is superb with good dialogues.. it just missed to be movies i would love saving it for a rewatch, but it's a good watch, of you wanna watch a fun Bollywood movie.
Steal: Kya matlab aakh lag gai thi? Abhe phukdichando ye gang hai ya govt office??
Shout out for Pratik Gandhi, Devendu Sharma and the Antagonist...even Remo D'Souza doesn't hurt your eyes, Kunal Khemu's cameo is fun.
The acting is just superb, maybe that's why the jokes land very well.
Amar Singh Chamkila (2024)
Watch it if you like Punjabi folk music, or just music, you won't be disappointed.
Sexy geet gata tha...;
gund ghool jata tha...;
Jis wagha se chamka wo, us wajah se tapka woh...;
Chamkila, Sexy-la, tharki-la,
Woh Gunda Banda...(Well, not so much)
Those lines from the lyrics of 'baaja' (song in the movie) is actually whatever happens in the movie.. where Chamkila, an aspiring singer sings and makes dirty songs, which according to him is demanded by his audience, and he wont be heard if he sings clean songs...a 2 line plot made into an almost 3 hours movie, which has a slow pacing, but works in favour of the movie as it gives more time to Diljit Paji to sing dirty songs in between. Though the movie doesn't offer anything special, but still a good watch, with a message, you might already know, but music is amazing!!
Monkey Man (2024)
Suffering and pain today promises Better tomorrow (spoiler, but no spoiler)
Dev Patel the protagonist of the film, a street fighter, fighting to lose, and make money out of the bets placed on his opponent, has a network and powers that are just unexplained in the movies, have a choppy editting but, looks wonderful when actually shown what's happening on the screen, but still a wonderful job for the directorial debutant Dev Patel and very congratulations to him in pulling of this wonderful attempt, although it wasn't as mythological as promised in the beginning of this movie, but a wonderful action thriller, 10/10 for the action choreography, which definitely makes it a good watch!! And the performances are brilliant too....
Steal: people are gonna believe the over the top action sequences, if the protagonist is a street fighter.
Deliver Us (2023)
Amazing opening act, but later becomes a Sudo-lord of the rings 😂
The movie definitely had potential, but doesn't live up to it, it had a very interesting premise, but doesn't materialized on it.
The plot: it's a simple plot, where a virgin is pregnant with twins one evil and one good, and the bad one wants to kill the good one as a baby, and he makes people kill the good one.
The verdict: This movie explains a few things very well and leave somethings, like they are not even bothered to talk about it, it leaves so many questions unanswered, which makes you interested at first and you think it will give a second layer the characters, but no 😂 they don't explain or materialize on it! Though this movie is entertaining at times but that's about it.
Steal: the plot of the baby killing the baby is interesting, and definitely a good back story.
Grave (2016)
What a build up!! And amazing music!!
The plot of the movie is really simple, a girl in a very school end up being a canibil, and that's it and that's really not it, the main plot of the movie don't even start until it's over 40 mins into the movie, and what a build up it was!!
Steal: The way her sister kill people in the car, that was really new, and also Gore was just another level!!!
It's really just a very sad story about two sisters.
This movie is very much an experience but really, i was in double minds when I was rating this movie, it was an amazing movie, if you are a fan of gore, but you won't be missing alot even if you pass on it.
Death at a Funeral (2007)
The title is misleading!!!
The movie is a brilliant black comedy in which where a guy is high on acid in a funeral and thinks that the coffin is moving, but that's really not just it!!!! The movie is also about relationships, where these brilliantly acted parts are gonna stay with you for a while, and about a dead body, which is not really a deadbody.
The best bit about this movies is that this movie starts at a gag where the lead gets a wrong coffin instead of the one which has its dad and asks them to get his dad. I watched this movie after 15 years of its release and it still feels fresh because of its performances!!
Johnny Gaddaar (2007)
A Thriller above Meh, but Dharmendra was great!!!
The plot of the film: the film resolves around Vikram's betrayal from his partners, who run a casino together. Which leads to killings, very little edge of the seat thrills and alot of lies.
Verdict: Johnny gaddar being a good entertainer, doesn't turn out to be a very good thriller, which it promises to be, the film is not always predictable, or farfetched but would not lead a lasting impression as the performance of Neil Nitin Mukesh was just dull and wooden face, thought the other performances were great! But Johnny Gaddar doesn't offer something new for today's time. But the movie is 6/10 for sure.
The Outfit (2022)
READ!
One must understand that true craftmenship is completing the job, and perfection can only be attained working on the details and finishing. Perfection is a necessary goal precisely because it is unattainable, but if you don't aim for perfection you cannot make anything great, yet true perfection is impossible.
But one who doesn't aim for perfection cannot make anything great.
It has interesting details one must look forward to, the best of them all is that is film reviews itself at the end and tell us what it's trying to be.
The film reviews itself in the film lol!!
A film is, tries to be a good watch.
Definitely has a re-watch value.
An Action Hero (2022)
A decent entertainer, a good one time watch. But don't question the events.
The things that i like about the movie were definitely the performances, and there was something different about Aayushman Khurana in this one. His voice sounds different, and it was a totally different aayushman (an over the top aayushman) though it could have been better if the performance was slightly more grounded performance but maybe this was the intention of the makers as the title of the movie is "An Action Hero" and Aayushman tried his best to justify the title and Jaideep Ahluwalia did what he does the best, playing a Haryanvi antagonist.
Now things that i don't like about the movie, THE SERIES OF EVENTS, it was just stupid. Though the permise was very interesting but the screenplay was really weak. Talking more about it would be spoilers, but i would still say that whole tention around the leads or the premise of the movie could have been easly avoided if Ayushmaan Khurana didn't forget to take the broken side mirror of his car that broke at the crime scene, and he knew about it.
Kantara (2022)
Overrated, Cringefest. And not what it promises to be.
The initial moments of the movie were good where they showed this demigod and a king who made a deal with this Demigod, and the movie got bad to worst from that moment. We as viewers keep waiting for the movie to follow up on the story of this Demigod and we as viewers keep witnessing the lead actor smoking, drinking, assaulting and being a complete dork. And i could have been okay what the lead actor was doing, if they movie was less about him and more about the mythology around this Demigod.
God what a cringefest what this movie is.
And i am being very generous with my 3 stars, anything more then that is too much for this movie.
Kol (2020)
One of the best, if not the best female antagonist in world cinema.
Jeon Jong-seo gives a steller performance as a clumsy and impulsive serial killer. The premise of the movie is undoubtedly inovative and a special one, which takes place in two different timelines, one in the present in which the main character is the protagonist and one in the past in which the main character is the antagonist, and they both are connected through a call.
The premise of the movie and the consequences of the killings might be a bit over the top and slightly bezare, but the intense and grounded action of the movie specially the performance of Jeon Jong-seo makes it a must watch.
