State of Siege: Temple Attack (2021)
Good one!
It has been a pleasant surprise to see that the movies these days are showing the reality as much as possible. There has been always an attempt to pacify things in Bollywood, but it will always be good to call spade a spade. That gets you the necessary weightage to the movie. Temples in India have been primary target of anti Indian forces and it is very well demonstrated in this movie. It is a movie based on facts and events of 2002 time frame. If all of know those olden days when Nokia phones in India were on the top. Good picturization.
Pogaru (2021)
Will hurt the liberals!
Liberals generally keep quiet about the pollution caused by fuel based cars, animal sacrifice (food) and others. However, they do come out criticizing the crackers targeting Indian festivals. This movie clearly identifies such hypocrisy.
Raw look of the hero is really different and won't be generally seen in any of the movies.
Shaurya: It Takes Courage to Make Right... Right (2008)
Based on fake narrative!
This movie is based on the fake narrative. Complete nonsense and showing the Indian Army in bad light. After watching the movie, one would get an impression that the innocent stone pelters are being ruthlessly killed by Army. Surprisingly, there is no mention about the butchering and exodus of Kashmiri Pandits, the Indian Army Soldiers being killed by the stone pelters and terrorist.
I would recommend to watch movies like URI and Tashkent Files instead which showcase the reality on the ground. We should stop glamourizing the terrorism.
Aashram (2020)
Stay Away
This is again one more web series that is targeting one particular faith of Bharat. In fact, India has created a legacy of Aashram's that taught the world about Yoga, Maths, Science, Astronomy and what not. This Aashrma in the web series is not aligned to what happens in India. Wrong interpretation. In fact, as per the study it happens in other parts of society. Reports are available on the internet.
DO NOT WATCH!!
War (2019)
Action, Thrill & Style
This is one of the good action thrillers in the recent times. Especially watching Hrithik and Tiger together in these action sequences was fun. They did shoot the movie in the best possible locations in the world. The background music was good. There is no female lead role written in the script. Although there is a small character to cover the romance factor in the movie and it fit well in the movie too. The climax is really interesting and Tiger has really given his best in terms of building his physique and overall personality. It would be have been difficult for any other youngster to kind of play Tiger's role when you have a macho man like Hrithik in the movie to steal the thunder.
The only thing which could have been avoided is the religion in this movie. It was not at all required in the script to link it to religion and these things should not find any places in Bollywood going forward. It increases the distances between people unnecessarily.
The direction is good and no doubt it is a big budget film for Indian audiences across the world.
One can figure out that they are planning to release the part 2 for this movie. Hrithin would play the spy and carry out the operations remainging outside the force.
Kesari (2019)
Stupendous, Astonishing, great piece of art!
Very very powerful script and plot. Undoubtedly, it creates the magic of what happened on the day when handful of Sikh army defends the fort against the Afghans. The story always was there in the books, but this movie has given the life to this epic. The movie has been picturized in a very scenic way, especially the castle in the desert. It takes you back to the olden days and as a period film, they have taken care of all aspects including the habits, rituals and festivities of that era.
If one is fond of seeing war films, this would definitely be a must watch for him. Akshay Kumar has done the justice to his role and there are few, but good romantic scenes picturized with Parineeti.
The background music is good and suitable for the period film. It is difficult to get a dance number with lead pair in these kind of movies.
Direction is absolutely fantastic. Especially, the fight sequence and the shooting the bullets through the rocks kind of scenes. You would get a feeling of Sholay like movie when you see somebody hiding behind the rocks and defending his people.
The story revolves around capturing the 3 forts from British and the Afghans do their bit to have it on the same day. However, the Saragarhi battle makes it impossible for the Afghans to achieve the feat.
It is obvious that all of the Sikh soldiers would die, but how do you fight with handful of people is what this movie demonstrates to the fans.
The significance of the color Kesari is very well established in this movie. It has found the right balance between love and hate too between the religions. Above all, it is open fact that Bharat has been invaded by several in last 1000 years.
I give 9 stars to this movie.
Satyameva Jayate (2018)
Action Packed, but lacked the punch in the script
If you like to see action films, you could add this to your list. However, you may get disappointed with the overall script or drama portrayed toward the end. Manoj Bajpayee has played the role of sincere cop and have given the justice to the role.
John was good in all the action scenes and has now built very good physique. He should be doing big budget movies if possible. He has improved upon his acting skills, but has not got the role which he is capable to play yet.
Satyameva Jayate would definitely remind you of the movies in the past where two brothers come forward against each other and one has to give his life for the cause. The typical bollywood script would not interest today's generation though.
There is a twist in the movie before the interval which keeps the viewers interest intact, but toward the end it becomes little more kind of family drama.
The music is average and direction is not up to the mark.
Wish John do big budget movies.
Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi (2019)
Perfect biopic!
Manikarnika is a good period film. It has got relatively new casting and Kangana has managed the show very well given the fact that she is a debutant director. Any person who has little knowledge on Maratha history should get a good idea about it after watching this movie. Music by Shankar, Ehsan and Loy is good but not upto the mark. However, the song "Mai rahu ya na rahu, Bharat yeh rehna chahiye.." is superb.
There is a political connection to present days which is showcased through a scene where Rani Laxmi Bai removes Scindia king from his throne and overpowers it.
However, I personally think that Tatya Tope's role is not given the justice. Tatya Tope was a great hero and mentor of Rani Laxmi Bai. His presence was negligible compared to lead actress in this movie. That should not have been the case. I assume people who have read about him will alighn to my thoughts.
The action scenes have been picturised very well and I should say that Kangana has put good amount of efforts into it.
Good to see that Bollywood has awaken and showing interest in bringing life to India's own heroes. I think India has produced one of the best warriors of the world and this should definitely be the case for study!
Uri: The Surgical Strike (2019)
Know your army - Indian Army!
There are very few movies, which you show to your kids these days. URI is a must watch with full family. It gives the patriotic message in the most brutal and simple way. Here is my feedback:
1. Cast - Very thoughtfully chosen the actors to play the characters in the movie. Vicky Kaushal and Paresh Rawal has done brilliant work in this movie. Mohit Raina was surprise and have done justice to the role. Yami is seen little different than what she has done in the past. Overall very balanced star cast. Without any superstars involved, this movie has gone past any other big movies from Khans I would say.
2. Music - Catchy music, but this could have been little better. Background score during the stunts, surgical strike is awesome though.
3. Plot - Based on true events, this movie gets you as close as possible to the real life attacks happening on India by Pakistan. URI showcases the journey of soldier, the risks, the danger and finally the revenge. Apart from all this, one great thing you could observe is the political backing to the army which is the highlight of the movie. It used to be India under attack otherwise.
4. Direction - Aditya Dhar has done phenomenal job in this movie compared to his earlier work like Kabul Express or Tezz. He has taken time to establish in Bollywood, but it is worth it. Very promising and we look forward to his upcoming blockbusters.
I give this movie 10 out of 10! It has set new benchmark in the industry.
Take Care Good Night (2018)
Handle Your Information Securely, No Data Leaks Allowed!
Keeping the mixed audience in mind, the director has really managed the plot very well. The script is very much aligned to the challenges being faced by common man today. Common man of India hardly understand the complexities created due to the technology. Teenagers unknowingly shares most confidential information over the chat in casual manner and don't think about any consequences about it.
The movie demonstrates how vulnerable the society has become given the social media's influence in everybody's life!
Mahesh and Sachin has done justice to their roles.
Although the plot is around cyber crime, the director intelligently focuses on the importance of the trust shared by the family members (with each other). This is really cool about the movie.
I would recommend this movie for following reasons:
1. Covers the examples of cyber crimes (today's world)
2. Strengthening Family Values
3. What you don't do on social media?
Look forward to more movies like this!
Raazi (2018)
Good Story, Nice Plot
As the movie's title suggest, the lead character played by Alia gets "Raazi" to be the Indian spy visiting Pakistan (after her marriage). The script is very well written and executed by Meghna. You would enter into the era of 70s and won't find anything weird with lifestyle shown in the movie. The other characters are very nicely picked and played their part naturally.
Alia is shown to be married to a Pakistani family, where each member is part of Pakistani military. The way this lead character starts sharing the information back with India is interesting and executed very well. However, one would easily realize while watching the moving that the Pakistani Army Personnel would not be this soft by nature in reality. No way, especially when they were shown involved in a plan to destroy India. This contradicts the character and makes it look simple for the spy to share information with India with less effort.
One enjoys the movie until the climax. The climax was not up to the mark. It was typical Bollywood emotional end and not suitable for a movie based on a spy. It could have been little practical and aligned to a spy's life.
This could be an eye opener for the gang who kind of keep anti-Indian sentiments in their hearts. The overall message from the film is - Nation First, Rest All comes later!
