Oppenheimer (2023)
Oppenheimer, a unforgettable movie .
Saw the movie " OPPENHEIMER " at PVR Phoenix( Parel) on the first day second show of its release in India on Friday(22/7/2023). As a student of history found the movie true to its era of " World War II " but was also surprized regarding the bold sex scenes in the film. Definitely a bit censured to Indian audiences. The film was extraordinary in special effects while depicting the testing of the first atomic bomb and subtle in not showing the dropping of the 2 atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Having visited Zurich was amazed to see the Grossmünster church towers depicted in the initial introduction of the film. Excellent movie but could be boring for non history buffs. A Oscar contender and if a film addict don't miss this film even if physics is not your pet subject of discussion.
Reporter Raju (1962)
Reporter Raju.
" Covid 19" has kept most of the World indoors including myself in Mumbai. Confined to my house on New Year Day, Saturday(2/1/2022) browsing through T. V channels decided to watch vintage movie " Reporter Raju". I myself am a traveller/ Vlogger with writing being my passion and hence stayed through the entire length of this long movie. Got nostalgic viewing Bombay of the 1970's in this film as also the acting style of the actor's. A watchable movie with susprnce if you want a change from the regular blood gore crime movies of the 21st century. Worth my NEW YEAR confinement at home.
Junglee (2019)
Junglee
Excellent modern day film on the poaching of wildlife and usage of 21st century technology of " DRONES" by the poachers. India has the World's largest population of Asiatic elephants and gone are the day's of obsolete poaching methods of the " Veerapan Era" of elephant poaching. Excellent fight stunts and a reasonable good storyline with the message of conservation of wildlife and most importantly elephants that are being rapidly reduced in numbers in the wild through poaching and non-human conflicts through habitat destruction.
Shark Killer (2015)
Shark Killer
The success of "JAWS" has resulted in a glut of shark horror films and this film "SHARK KILLER" is one of the better produced copycat films. Having visited Cape Town in South Africa and having one "Shark Cage Diving" in Gansbai could identify with a few of the locales most importantly "Chapman's Peak drive" .A overdose of violence but in all a entertaining film. Confined to the house during "Covid-19" lockdown in Mumbai its movies that provide entertainment.
Haseena Parkar (2017)
Haseena Parker
In the time of "CORONAVIRUS WORLD WAR - 3" in 2020 when your own life is at the hands of a invisible pandemic it's cinema that breaks all barriers and provides solace and entertainment in the confines of home.Have been binge watching various genres of movies and came across this biographical movie of Mumbai's Queen Godmother. Haseena.Parker. Entertaining movie that exposes the dark underbelly of Mumbai's crime World from the 1970's to the present day where the search for India's No 1 criminal Dawood Ibrahim continues and "FAKE NEWS MEDIA" minting money on his locations and present status as he seems to have disappeared from the face of the Earth, a eternal mystery. Ahoy !
Teenage Bank Heist (2012)
Teenage Bank Heist.
In the time of "CORONAVIRUS WORLD WAR - 3" in 2020 when your own life is at the hands of a invisible pandemic it's cinema that breaks all barriers and provides solace and entertainment in the confines of my house . A riveting suspense bank robbery with a difference and a "Police Encounter" end. Worth the watch as this movie is different compared to average crime heists and "Crime and Punishment" saga's.
The Impossible Murder (2010)
The Impossible Murder
In the time of "CORONAVIRUS WORLD WAR - 3" in 2020 when your own life is at the hands of a invisible pandemic it's cinema that breaks all barriers and provides solace and entertainment in the confines of home . Have been binge watching movies and came across this excellent whodunit murder thriller .As a Mangalorean Catholic with parents ancestrally from the villages in Mangalore could identify with the topography and picturisation of this excellent film.The Malayalam film Industry produces some excellent films and "THE IMPOSSIBLE MURDER" is definitely one of those rare off-beat Indie films that engrosses its viewers without cheap gruesome thrills or sexual exposes. A excellent film with the suspense held till the end and a twist from the normal predictable murder thrillers. Worth a watch .
Curacao (1993)
Curacao
In the time of "CORONAVIRUS WORLD WAR - 3" in 2020 when your own life is at the hands of a invisible pandemic it's cinema that breaks all barriers and provides solace and entertainment in the confines of home.George Scott is best remembered for his role as General Patton and also the first actor to refuse a Oscar which he won for that film. This movie "CURACAO(C.I.A : EXILED)" is watchable because of his acting as also exposing the murky world of "SHIP INSURANCE FRAUDS".The "Apartheid Era" of South Africa trade boycott makes the story realistic of that era in history as also the total junk ship "Prince of Malta" , a true replica of a sinking waiting to happen. As a ex "Marine Engineer" sailor with 23 years On/Off sea sailing under my belt could identify with the working conditions on ships like the "Prince of Gibraltar".A well researched film although i feel it didn't set the cash box office rolling. Ahoy !
The Donor (2014)
The Donor(2014)
In the time of "CORONAVIRUS WORLD WAR - 3" in 2020 when your own life is at the hands of a invisible pandemic it's cinema that breaks all barriers and provides solace and entertainment in the confines of my house .A movie true to life that depicts the gruesome world of illegal "KIDNEY TRANSPLANTS" with excellent suspense and storyline.
Footfairy (2020)
Foot Fairy.
In the time of "CORONAVIRUS WORLD WAR - 3" in 2020 when your own life is at the hands of a invisible pandemic it's cinema that breaks all barriers and provides solace and entertainment at home. Read the incredible reviews and hence decided to watch this film late at night and was not disappointed. As the film revolved around the city of my residence Mumbai could identify with the locales most importantly the lifeline of Mumbai commuters which is the city railway network. Suspense was excellent and the acting very natural with the end being a anticlimax to the entire sleuth detection efforts. A movie worth watching.
Sacrifice (2000)
Sacrifice.
In the time of "CORONAVIRUS WORLD WAR - 3" in 2020 when your own life is at the hands of a invisible pandemic it's cinema that breaks all barriers and provides solace and entertainment in the confines of home. Although a very unbelievable film of a bank robber on the trail of his daughter's killer while simultaneously dodging the pursuit by cops .The suspense is well maintained till the end and this movie is worth a watch although too violent for a T.V. film..
Derren Brown: The Great Art Robbery (2013)
Derren Brown :- Great Art Robbery
In the time of "CORONAVIRUS WORLD WAR - 3" in 2020 when your own life is at the hands of a invisible pandemic it's cinema that breaks all barriers and provides solace and entertainment. Excellent documentary as well as a moral documentary on the fact that "Pensioners" are never ever a retired labour force.It's hilarious watching the two old men and women being trained in the art of "Sleight of Hand" and thievery. This factual documentary also educates the layman that never judge a book by its cover as looks or age could be deceptive.Thank you Derren.Brown for exposing tricks on "MAGIC". Ahoy !
And Then There Were None (1945)
"And Then There Were None", a film relevant in any era or generation.
In the time of "CORONAVIRUS WORLD WAR - 3" in 2020 when your own life is at the hands of a invisible pandemic it's cinema and music that breaks all barriers and provides solace and entertainment in the confines of home. Have read this masterpiece classic and seen different versions of films scripted from this classic novel by Agatha Christie. Even the Hindi version film "Gumnaam" adapted from this story was a masterpiece success as a Hindi film in Bollywood of India. The story of this film is relevant for any generation and era with the only changes being the innovations of the particular era. If this film was produced in 2020 with the same storyline then the "INTERNET" and smartphones would have been part of the films production kit. ahoy !

Marple: A Caribbean Mystery (2013)
A Caribbean mystery till the last scene..
In the time of "CORONAVIRUS WORLD WAR - 3" in 2020 when your own life is at the hands of a invisible pandemic it's cinema that breaks all barriers and provides solace and entertainment in the confines of the house,I haven't read this book but have seen all of Agatha Christie's "Movies" based on her bestsellers. Have also seen the play "THE MOUSETRAP" at the St Martins theatre in London.Excellent suspense with subtle murders is the secret that keeps the viewer totally engrossed in the movie.The signature played down style of Miss Marpyle ,the harmless looking old lady is what also adds spice to this who-dun-it which has its villain exposed in the end, a totally non-suspect among the group of suspects.
