Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba (2024)
SB - Slow paced thriller
This movie is a sequel of another movie in which a character commits a crime and escapes with his partner to another city. This movie shows these two main characters engaged in simple occupations to earn their daily bread and meeting each other only secretly to avoid attracting police attention. This builds some thrill in the story. Each of the two main characters find some other persons getting interested in them and disturbing their lives. This causes some progress in the story. The police find some clue and starts chasing the two main characters. How do the two main characters deal with the unwanted persons meddling in their lives? How do they deal with the police? This is the main plot of the story. Mature themes, violence, ingenious solutions to escape the police are there to make this pulp fiction worth its category. There are some coincidences and interference of luck too. Then the story moves back and forth to create suspense which seems too artificial. These things make the story somewhat dull.
Juna Furniture (2024)
SB - Drama superficial
The film is melodramatic.
Usually the expectations from human relationships causes tension between the humans.
The story is built around the problem of a specific kind of tension between some related characters. The movie tries to bring forth the tension between the characters through arguments done in courtroom. But the arguments provided by both the sides are not convincing. Both the sides fail to ask relevant questions, while the problem is stated in the beginning of the story itself, outside the court. Even in the end {SPOILER !} the problem remains unsolved and the characters simply find ways to manage it.
The acting done by all the characters is good. Photography is of standard quality. Dialogues are a bit dramatic but good.
Maharaj (2024)
Simple plot
The acting is mediocre by all the lead actors.
The music and songs are not good.
The story is based on rituals that we now perceive as shocking. This makes the story different from what we see in most of the other mainstream movies. This has helped the movie to gain popularity.
Some background of the protagonist is provided. But no background or back story of the antagonist is provided, such as, how he acquired strength and gained dominance over people. No details regarding the history of the ritual are provided, such as its origin and prevalence.
The dialogues are simple and don't give a deeper understanding (description) of the characters' psychology and mental strength. We know about these things because the characters are either 'good' or 'bad' and we already know what to expect from them.
Some great personalities like Dadabhai Naoroji and Dr. Bhau Daji Lad are introduced but nothing about their influence on society is shown.
Phagun (1958)
SB - Nice music
It is an old movie with an old type of story-line ( coincidence! ). A man of high social status and power abandons his newborn daughter. She is found by a man of lower social status and power and he raises her as his daughter. Coincidentally a boy of high social status meets this girl and they decide to marry each other, but the boy's father shows the difference in their social status and stops them from executing their plan. The boy and the girl must cross some more hurdles before succeeding in their plan. So, ultimately the two persons of the same status get married. We are told that they died very soon. Their house is bought by another couple who, coincidentally, look similar to them.
The movie is for pure entertainment with no social or moral message. The music is good. Only one song "Ek pardesi mera dill..." became popular while others were forgotten. One song, "Tum rooth ke mat..." was based on Punjabi tappe. There is a sprinkle of silly comedy. In the end, there are some violent fight scenes as well. The story ends with a happy note. The actors have done their job well.
Samskara (1970)
SB - Reaching a Judgement.
It shows that even those who judge others are humans only. The judges wonder if it is correct to pardon the wrong-doer. They search through books of rules, they discuss with other scholars and they pray to their chosen higher authorities for guiding them to reach the right judgement. When they realize that they are prone to making similar mistakes they choose to pardon the wrong-doers.
The photography of this movie is excellent. The location and the costumes look very authentic. The movie gives us a glimpse of life in rural Karnataka during the nineteen-sixties and seventies. Girish Karnad has played the lead role successfully.
Ghasideyeh gave sefid (2020)
Confusing ending
The overall movie is good as explained in all the earlier reviews. But what happens in the end? The man is shown sitting in a chair. Why? What happened to him?
Did she take revenge on the repentant?
If yes, what happened to the others on the panel who did not regret their action?
The person who feels guilty is punished and those who felt they did the right thing are not punished, at least not so severely. Right?
Is your feeling of revenge satisfied after only one member, from the group of perpetrators, meets a violent end? Or do you go to hunt down the others as well?
The Supreme Court gives its opinion only after the additional information comes in. Anybody could have done that. Even those whom we consider as defaulters. Even we. This is not a solution to any problem. What if a third piece of information comes in later on?
Even after the Supreme Court gives its opinion, no change is made to the system.
They say the events happened according to God's will. They do not say which event occurred against His will. (If everything occurred according to His will then why bring it into discussion?)
The movie leaves many questions unanswered. The ending is very confusing.
Experimenter (2015)
Interesting movie
Experimenter (2015) is an interesting movie on an interesting subject. The film has focused on the research activities of Stanley Milgram around 1960. It speaks a little about his personal life, and a little about the controversy (regarding ethics) created by his experiments The actors are very good, and the movie captures ones attention for the whole duration.
706 (2019)
Dumb movie
Show Mohan Agashe's photograph in the beginning and people will surely watch the whole film waiting for him to appear.
Tales from the Crypt (1972)
slow paced movie.
This is a collection of five different stories. All of them are so slow paced that you tend to go to sleep. It is slow paced even for the 1970s standard. No horrible getup is used anywhere though the poster shows a horrible skull with a single eye. Even the music is dull. A waste of time. Good actors are wasted. Though the movie is about "as you sow so you reap", in the fourth story, we wonder if the protagonist really deserved what he got.
Cube Zero (2004)
It allows you to ask more questions.
The first movie "Cube" did not explain at all the strange events happening. As if movie makers didn't want you even to ask the questions, and just enjoy the thrill of watching the strange events. The second movie "hyper-cube" gave a hint that someone, after all, was in control. In this prequel "Cube 0" one layer of outside, controlling-agency is shown. The higher layer of control (up above) is not disclosed even now as if they have saved it for yet another Cube movie. This movie gives you the experience of thrill. There is the fear of the unknown, disgust of gore, a feeling of helplessness, cold objectivity of the authority, and empathy among the co-sufferers too.
