Bãhubali 2: The Conclusion (2017)
S S Rajamouli: The Visionary
Today is the last day of 3rd week and it's still dominating the Box- Office worldwide. And it has become possible just because of the vision of one person - Mr. S S Rajamouli. Since there are more than 300 viewer reviews here, so I'm not going to review the movie again.
I'll take the opportunity to congratulate Mr. Rajamouli for taking the Indian movie industry to the next level. Baahubali, Balladeva, Katappa, Shivgami, Devasena - you've brought the best in everyone. I'm not from south India and I don't understand the languages too. But still I'm waiting for its Telugu version. I'm a bigger fan of south Indian movies (I particularly watch Telugu movies with subtitles). And you've proved it again why my choice is not wrong. Creations like Vikramaduru, Eega, Magadheera are my favorites. Those who understand your vision, will never stop praising you.
I believe we are lacking visionaries in our film industry. You sir, Mr. Shankar and Mr. Sanjay Leela Bhansali only are capable of creating such epics in my opinion. It seems like the word 'impossible' doesn't find a place in your dictionary. I thought Magadheera was something that defines a standard, but with Baahubali you've set the standards so high that Indian film industry has got a new identity worldwide. We are fortunate to witness your creations.
The reviewers who gave 1 or 2 stars for this movie out of 10, are simply lying. By no means this movie deserves 1-2. Lastly, applause for the whole team. I am eagerly waiting for the next venture.
Jolly LLB 2 (2017)
A sequel that keeps the essence of the original alive!
This movie is a sequel so it's obvious that it will be compared with the previous one. When I first saw the trailer I thought the movie will be similar to the previous one. Yes, since it is a courtroom drama and a good v/s bad portrayal is there, so resemblance is obvious. But thankfully it has some new elements.
Story wise, previous one was better because that was based on a case with no evidence and the verdict of the judge was the trump card of the story. But that doesn't mean this one has a bad story. In fact, at some places this excels its predecessor. What I didn't like was the unnecessary 'riot' angle in Kashmir and forcibly placing humour at some places. Other elements like comedy, emotion, drama, suspense are at proper places.
As per the cast of the movie, Saurabh Shukla was the best of the lot. This gentleman is definitely the gem of the movie. Akshay Kumar, Huma Qureshi and Sayani Gupta were also good in their roles. Although I'm not against Akshay Kumar, but I think even Arshad Warshi should have recreated the magic. I really missed him throughout the movie. But it was Annu Kapoor who let me down. I know it is not possible to recreate the image created by Boman Irani in the previous one, but his character should have given more importance. Also Sanjay Mishra as Guruji did not get the proper attention.
Music was good, but Go Pagal song didn't have the catch that it was intended to. The other two songs were fine.
Overall Jolly LLB 2, though not as powerful as Jolly LLB, will not let you down. It still has its heart at the right place.
