Sita Ramam (2022)
Very entertaining, strong acting performance and engaging script
Very rarely you see so many surprise elements in a movie. It is filled with strong acting performance by all the key characters. I have liked performance by Mrunal a lot. Her expressions are speechless in the movie. It feels genuine, honest and you feel all the emotions with the characters. Music has also been very soothing to the ears. Overall a very fine movie, which will leave you a fan of director raghavapudi, dulquer Salman and mrunal thakur. All the scenes are crafted very beautifully. The background, costume design are perfect to the occasion and enhancing the beauty of this movie. We need more scripts and direction like this. Rashmika's character lacks some spark but she has done justice to her role. Coming to script, it keeps taking twists every 10 minutes so you can't guess where the story is leading. You couldn't get bored watching this movie. I am not able to find any flaw in the movie so therefore giving it 10/10 stars.
Sherlock: The Lying Detective (2017)
Sherlocked again!!!
This episode is one among the best pieces of this series. I wonder we ever witnessed this emotional side of sherlock before. It surprisingly emphasized his attachment to Watson and remorse for sad demise of our beloved Mary. Mary character has been explained and given a lot of importance in previous episode which had appeared little overly stretched at that time. but it all makes sense here seeing the state of watson and sherlock after her death. Capturing of serial killer is a bit disappointing, as sherlock staged himself on death bed thinking John will come to save him in 'time'. The most liked part of this episode is its ending. No one could have predicted this end. it makes the excitement running for the finale episode. I am expecting that to be more thrilling and full of sherlockism. waiting for the finale.
Mohenjo Daro (2016)
I recommend the movie as one time watch because of its alien music, good portrayal of Mohenjo Daro city but warns not to expect much of story.
Spoiler Alert: It contains information which few people might not want to know if they have decided to watch this movie. Else you can read it freely.
With the tag of Jodha Akbar, Swadesh and Lagaan Ashutosh Govarikar is considered a director who stands out of crowd with his focus on minute details of background, costume, dialogues, music and most importantly the story which works as thread connecting all these things. I expected this to be a journey of new world crafted by my one of favorites Ashutosh Govarikar. I have listened to its songs many number of times before I went to watch this movie. I admire the alien touch provided by master of music, most respectful person in Indian Music, Sir A R Rahman. I live with Indian Cinema because I believe it provides you characters you can empathize with, you live your life with these characters and get inspiration to do some heroic thing in your real life. Bhuvan, Mohan Bhragav are the normal characters who inspire you to be somebody. I expected no less from Mohenjo Daro. I have found the first half satisfying to my high expectations. I thought I was roaming in one of the largest settlement of Indian Valley Civilization. The costumes, background, dialogues, music everything giving the alien touch which is required. Hritik looked heroic, though a bit aged for the character Sarman, Pooja Hegde looked fresh and full of energy. It feels story is being set at a very good pace when Sarman is portrayed as a common hero who does not tolerate any injustice in his newfound dream city Mohenjo Daro. he has made friends, succeeded in impressing the girl of his dreams and everything made sense till the interval happens. After that I never felt it was a Ashutosh Govarikar movie. He has adopted a pace which tried to take all characters in not so making sense direction. It reflected the confusion in the mind of director on how to present a loosely thought plot with the characters in hand. Scenes were put in haste to just complete the story and there audience has loosen all the connection with any character developed during first half. I still hoped for a strong end but there it disappointed me most with stupidity on heights while deploying physics to create a bridge of boats. Ashutosh still felt nostalgic on last scene of Swadesh so he tried to pull something similar kind here but he failed it completely. After Physics, comes the time of geography. In the start of movie, it is shown as a settlement in 2016 BC in north west of India. In the end Our protagonist named the part of Sindhu as Ganga which made no sense to me. I still recommend the movie as one time watch because of its alien music, good portrayal of Mohenjo Daro city but warns not to expect much of story.
