Bholaa (2023)
Solely an action movie
I haven't watched the South Indian counterpart, so the review is solely based on Bholaa and makes no comparison to any other movie.
First of all, if you are a fan of unnatural action, then this movie is for you.
There is no specific story and no scope for much acting, though all the actors were able to manage their roles very well.
It has a lot of unnatural action, which sometimes makes you think this could have been directed and written better.
Although the pace is very good and doesn't make you feel bored at any point in time.
The action movies at least need some good dialogue, and they are lacking in that sense as well.
I guess this movie is to set a plot, and the second part might have a better story.
Brahmastra Part One: Shiva (2022)
First but half hearted step towards creating a universe
Brahmastra is a combination of vaguely copied story from Harry Potter and an attempt to start a "universe" but Indian directors need to learn a lot about execution. The movie is wholly centred on VFX, which even was not up to the mark, and forgets about the story, logic and common sense.
There is too much emphasis on love story rather than the actual concept. Even the love story is crafted without common sense and makes you feel what the hack is going on. The dialogues are also very amateur and disappoints you. The story does not connect well and does not bind you at all which spoils mood of audience.
Ranbir and Alia are one of the finest in industry with "Rockstar" and "Barfi" on one's name and "Gully boys", "Highway" and "Razzi" on the other. This gives responsibility to both of them but they miserably failed in this movie. Ranbir is nowhere looking like a superhero. It felt like he is not connected to the character and still in his role of Jaggs Jasoos and Barfi.
It is disheartening to see such a preliminary start to an absolutely beautiful concept. The Producers and Directors need to understand that audience should not be taken for granted and should come out of mindset that any magnum opus with a good brand is going to be successful anyway.
However, full marks to the concept of Astra which has the potential to turn into "universe" rather than just a movie or a trilogy but disappointing to see it is getting wasted.
Even not a one-time watch :(
A Thursday (2022)
"A Wednesday" sequel
As the concept and plot of "A Wednesay" is already known, the movie becomes predictable since beginning and the story don't grip you anymore. The dialogues are also very flat which is a big miss for such a movie.
If Yami Gautam is rated individualistic, she has done a great job and played her role very efficiently but when compared to Naseer sir, she is, obviously, not par. Apart from her, Atul Agnihotri and Neha Dhupia has also done decent job with the character. Noteworthy to mention, Neha has done this movie when she was around 8-9 month pregnant and commitment to her character is commendable. Overall a decent star cast with decent performances.
The movie raises very important social issue but the screenplay is very unrealistic. Overall a decent watch raising an important social issue.
Bob Biswas (2021)
Why to call it a thrill movie?
The movie was promoted by comparing it with Kahani but this doesn't come any where near to Kahani.
The story is very slow paced and don't grip at all but still we watch it in hope of a great suspense in the end but it didn't give that as well. There is no suspense at all actually. Story can be easily predicted somewhere in the middle and then there are no twists and turns.
Abhishek was also nowhere near to Vidhya Balan's acting and dissappoints. He did it well but that Bengali touch was somewhere missing.
The screenpaly also misses to show Bengali culture and didn't makes us fell Kolkata.
Overall very disappointing one from Sujoy Ghosh :(
Haseen Dillruba (2021)
Decent suspense
The story is not that gripping and somewhere in the middle i could tell what the suspense is. Lot of time is taken in story buildup which was not desired, however, twists and turns are interesting to watch which keep viewers bounded. Credits to Vikrant who helped creating more interest.
JL50 (2020)
A nice concept ruined by weak story
Bollywood should have capitaied the concept and the cast with some good writing. The whole series stays put just beacuse of the concept.
Chaman Bahaar (2020)
Jeetu bhai is "daddy" of acting
I am not from chattisgarh but still can relate to the language and culture. This will surely make you feel nostalgia. Local tone of language is well crafted and executed. Nevertheless, Jeetu bhaiya is again at his best and is gem of acting. He can really bound audience single handedly irrespective of script and content.
Special OPS (2020)
A good watch especially for K K Menon fans
All the characters acted really well especially KK menon. Took lot of unnecessary time in buidup which was not needed. Nice thrill and suspense.
Karwaan (2018)
A decent one time watch
Other then Irfan Khan, there isnt much to look for
