The Lincoln Lawyer (2022)
Great Show!
Wow! It's been a while since I've watched a great legal drama. What a concept and executed so perfectly! The plot grips you right from the first episode and it keeps you on the edge in every episode, right until the end.
Now, I haven't read Michael Connelly's novels or watched the movie with Matthew McConaughey, so I realize I may not have the same perspective. But, I must say, every character is so well-defined with his/her own story,
inner conflict and purpose. The acting was really good and the courtroom scenes so enthralling!
The cinematography was wonderful, the writing was excellent, and still a lot of unanswered questions. I really hope there is a season 2! (I mean, there has to be, right? After how it ended?!)
Raat Akeli Hai (2020)
Radhika and Nawaz Bhai together?! Wow!
Well, what can I say? This movie definitely lived up to all my expectations from the trailer. Such an engaging plot - sometimes slow - but amazing build up and twists. Every character was beautifully written and acting was fantastic from everybody. Having Ila Arun as Nawaz's mom was a nice little surprise. The cinematography was great especially the drone shots! The only thing in the plot that didn't make sense was Chunni's mom setting up the MLA's goon on fire, and after that he still lives to confess (or was that a decoy by Jatil Yadav?). Also, the songs at the end kinda interrupted / ruined the flow of the story.
Aarya (2020)
What a comeback!
Sushmita Sen - hats off for a great comeback! Really great portrayal of her character, so nuanced and complete. All actors did a terrific job. The plot is gripping and constantly keeps the viewers on the edge of their seats. The song at the end incorporating the teachings from Bhagavadgita was just amazing. Every detail was well thought out and of course, it ends on a cliff-hanger making the viewers want more.
