Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar (1992)
All time favourite film
I have seen this one infinitely n number of times...Best Sports film in Bollywood and a must watch if haven't seen it...
Sarfarosh (1999)
Aamir's best performance till date
There are so many brilliant films given by Aamir Khan but acting wise his best should be counted as this and would rate it above lagaan, dil chahta hai, ghulam, rangeela etc but it goes the dangal way where also his acting was commendable and effortless...Direction and other pointers are amazing alongside a film of Mr. Perfectionist I can view anytime from anywhere as the plot is routine as usual making it memorable but not close to Gangaajal which remains the best cop-politician nexus ever in Bollywood and second one being this...Not to be missed!!
The Legend of Bhagat Singh (2002)
Landmark Biopic on Bhagat Singh after old Shaheed
Now that's truly a performance worthy a national award and from direction till the screenplay, every department is ruled by the respective persons involved...Ajay till Sushant every actor lived the role as if they themselves were the real life characters...Direction by Rajkumar Santoshi is exemplary and his piece of work is evident in his past films alongside makes him the perfect master to make the film...One of the best Bhagat Singh Biopic ever made in Bollywood and it's at par with Manoj Kumar's Shaheed...A diamond classic!!
Vishwaroopam (2013)
A Splendid action spy thriller feas
A film with all parameters being pitch perfect and that what makes it more than watchable one alongside there is just a song in the start that is irritating but that doesn't hamper it...Kamal Hassan is the heart of the whole movie and his performance is top class followed by Rahul Bose who reminded me of Thakshak, his first negative role, though he was menacing and his look was enough to either laugh and get scared...Another person worth mentioning is Jaideep Ahlawat who played the role of Salim and must say he has a bright future ahead as he had done some roles after this movie like Aakrosh, Gangs of Wasseypur, Gabbar is Back, Raazi etc where his acting talent is evitable...Screenplay is gripping and keep u involved throughout and direction is excellent...Mobidity and bloodshed is there which may not appeal to the female section that might come as the biggest flaw and it's a totally serious movie with lack of entertainment value which nowadays is the demand and once not seen then the audience dejects it... A fare not to be missed for action lovers and Kamal Hassan's fans...A sure shot winner and don't care whether worked on the box office or not but it did hit me fully and I expect a film like this to create such an impression...
Ugly (2013)
Exceptional Thriller
Must see if u want goosebumps and keep yourself gripped throughout the whole movie...Acting was fantabulous by all and direction by Anurag Kashyap is best as usual...Screenplay and dialogues are hard hitting which was a requirement of the film and it has been done with whole conviction alongside hope to see such good work from this director for ages...Don't neglect it as an underrated ones are pure diamonds else comes a commercial cinema which people prefer the most but missing this kind of excellence is the mistake which would take no time to convert into regret...For me it's at the same level as RGV's Kaun or Anurag's own Paanch...
Udaan (2010)
Ultimate Movie
Indian Cinema at its peak...Excellent acting by all...Watching this one should be done religiously...
Black Friday (2004)
Anurag Kashyaps best film till date
Pawan Malhotra, Aditya Srivastava and Kay Kay Menon were the main masterminds behind this docudrama and made it effective and worthwhile experience for people to see it whenever they feel like... It's based on the book Dongri to Dubai describing the 1993 Mumbai Blasts in the form of middlemen, main kingpin and all the investigations done in order to know how everything was planned and executed...Everything is like a magnum opus in this one for Anurag Kashyap...Do yourself a favour by watching it at the earliest as such classics don't always come across...Catch it asap...
Gulaal (2009)
Kay Kay Menon and Abhimanyu Singh nailed it
A fine attempt at showing Rajputana power and college politics on the other hand...Kay Kay Menon is truly the most underrated actor we have and what a maverick performer he is...There was an hangover of his acting in this film on my mind for few days which gives an impression of him being a bright star...Abhimanyu Singh was solid as usual but Kay Kay stole the show fully... Direction, dialogues, screenplay are all great...After Dev D, which was pathetic for me and Anurag Kashyap bounced back with this one...Lyrics and songs are nice...Overall , a film which didn't got the attention it deserved making it a must watch always...
Mukkabaaz (2017)
A gem of a flick
Anurag Kashyap proved that he can make a boxing film as well but this one is just isn't about this alongside it raises many issues like caste, equality, love, prestige etc but directed it very well...Vineet kumar singh, Zoya Hussain, Jimmy Sheirgill and Ravi Kissen were excellent in their respective roles but movie drags in the second half and becomes fine after on...Dialogues as well as direction are the pillars of this film alongside acting included...Songs are bad but suits with the scenario shown in the film...It's all aspects are tich that makes it a compelling watch...A green signal from my side...
Paan Singh Tomar (2012)
Masterpiece and Irrfan u beauty
One of the best sports biopic ever made in Bollywood and what a stellar performance by Irrfan ( Award Winning Performance)...For me everything worked in this one and the proper research was done about the athlete making it descriptive as well as entertaining alongside...A year after Bhaag Milkha Bhaag released and must say enjoyed that as well though I cried a lot in the latter but what matters to me is an urge to watch again when on TV which is the case with former, ie, Paan Singh Tomar is a much better movie...Farhan Akhtar was no where an inch closer to what Irrfan was...Now let's talk about the main aspects in the movie, ie, dialogues, direction and screenplay...All these things are incredible but the screenplay falls a bit in the second half but it picks up afterwards of Paan Singh Tomar whereas Bhaag Milkha Bhaag was a bit overdramatised which was a plus point for the foremost...Lastly, would say that after watching Paan Singh, everybody will come to know what they were about to miss, if not seen they would regret and Bhaag Milkhas cons...A must visit!!
Deewangee (2002)
Ajay Devgns portrayal was ahead of Shahrukhs in Darr
Devgns acting was the soul of this film and others lend good support...Though boring in parts but all the other aspects were a - one...A Must- See
Aakrosh (2010)
Reminded me of Gangaajal but overall a fabulous piece
Priyadarshans best and the most underrated movie of Bollywood...Acting by all is top notch and it was good to see the director shifting from comedy to an action thriller which he managed very well...Should be watched at least once as its a well made flick which didn't got its share of importance to be visible to public at least. Recommended!!
Apaharan (2005)
Another ace from the one who gave Gangaajal
This movie reminds of Vaastav just because of the gangster aspect but otherwise a totally differently treated movie...All aspects are great but performances, dialogues and direction was the highlight of the narrative. Nana Patekar was fantastic as the villain and casting Ajay Devgn was the best decision as no one else could have done the part with conviction as he did...He deserved all the accolades for this role. Prakash Jha, take a bow sir for giving us two of your best works, ie, Gangaajal and Apaharan. Didnt liked Rajneeti that much but these two I can see innumerable number of times because of everything being so perfect. A must watch if u are a Devgn or a Nanas fan.
Maqbool (2003)
Good one but loved Omkara more
Performances by everybody was epic and only Naseeruddin Shah and Om Puri were a bit irritating...Direction at its best, and the dialogues are easy to understand that makes it unique from what Omkara was in terms of accent and set up...One time watch fare if u want to see performances and dialogues in place of execution...Recommended!!
Omkara (2006)
Great but not a Classic Material
Saif Ali Khans performance was his career best...Konkana Sen Sharma was the essence of the film, Kareena Kapoor was average and Bipasha was great...Deepak Dobriyal was exceptional and Vivek Oberoi was also good...Naseeruddin Shah was nice in a small role...Lastly Ajay Devgn, who gave a knock out performance as he had given in the past and no one could essay it better...Vishal Bharadwajs Direction was excellent and same goes with his music...Film has lots of abuse and many people won't be able to understand because of the accent...Not to be missed and highly recommended...
Sacred Games (2018)
A Riveting and commendable effort by Anurag Kashyap and Vikramaditya Motwane
This web series proves that how talented Anurag Kashyap and Vikramaditya Motwane are...Nawazuddin stole the show by his extraordinary performance and Saif Ali Khan too was fantastic...Somewhere the touch of Gangs of Wasseypur was evident in the series which was lauded by everyone whosoever saw it...Wasn't ever expecting this to come out well as a perfect finished product but it was like sky high...Weak hearted people should just stay away as there is a lot of gore and brutality shown which couldn't be tolerated by many... It's worth the time...
Rakhta Charitra 2 (2010)
Good one but not as great as part 1
A one time watch and a disappointing fare for fans of part 1 because of the predictability and half baked acting by south star surya alongside Rgvs Direction is average but still fine to see it as a timepass.
Rakhta Charitra (2010)
Vivek Oberoi, Abhimanyu Singh and Shatrughan Sinha stole the limelight with exceptional acting and RGV is back
Acting, Direction and dialogues were the highlight of the movie and bloodshed in the movie was too much. Reminded me of Gangs of Wasseypur and it's at the same level with this one...Those who saw Abhimanyu Singh's Gulaal will be in a shock to see him in this one as he is menacing and scary as the villain Buka Reddy...Vivek Oberoi underplayed his role and he deserved an award for this alongside reminded me of his own debut Company...It's a film not for faint hearted and require a lot of patience to watch...Those who were able to go through Gangaajal and Gangs of Wasseypur will love this otherwise give it a miss if u weren't able to tolerate the above films...Action lovers will enjoy it and for them it's a highly recommended movie...
Gangs of Wasseypur (2012)
The best but
Movie is excellent but doesn't reach to the level of Satya or a Company which were fantastic because of its pacing and impact which they leave on viewing it all the time...The movie is at par with Ajay Devgns Gangaajal in terms of violence and execution. Acting by all especially Nawaz and Manoj is great but the latter was much better in Satya...Manoj's best film and performance would always be in Satya and no takeaway in case of this flick...Direction and dialogues are soul of the film...The accent and brutality shown is so real that there is no flaw in this aspect at all...Overall, I went gaga over this film when I watched it for the first time and had not seen Satya... Still would say a superb movie which is different from the regular cinema that Bollywood churns our everyday...Highly Recommended!!
Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro (1983)
Genuine Comedy at its best
This film always makes u laugh the times u see it...People call Andaz Apna Apna as a cult comedy but this film deserves this attention and the former one doesn't. Must watch it if u haven't seen it...A classic gem forever and had some of the best comical scenes I have ever witnessed in a flick like this...
Company (2002)
Another Outstanding film by a genius who gave Satya
Favourite film after Satya and difficult to compare the two as both have their charm alongside a sure shot winner all the way...RGV a Maverick director for giving us two of his memorable works, ie, Satya and Company
Satya (1998)
Cult Classic Gangster Movie
One of the best films Indian Cinema had and will ever produce...Everything was damn perfect about this movie and Sholay pales in many departments in which this film wins...RGV take a bow and thank you so much for giving us a genius in acting called Manoj Bajpai and a Script Writer like Anurag Kashyap who in future is giving good films but nothing can surpass this...One of my favourite film of all time alongside other effort close to it, ie, Company (Second favourite and best)...Anurag Kashyap tried to recreate magic of Satya in all his films and made Gangs of Wasseypur but could not touch the level of this film though his effort was no doubt praiseworthy...Vaastav, Parinda, Nayakan, Black Friday etc were all gangster films but no where close to these gems and even RGV cannot bring back the touch of these classics...Those who haven't watched must visit these films once as they don't make them anymore...
Raid (2018)
Great performances makes this film tremendous
Devgn, Shukla ji and Dadi were the three pillars of the film...Face off scenes between Devgn and Saurabh Shukla were the strength of the movie...Direction and other aspects were also superb...Highly Recommended...
Sanju (2018)
Worst movie ever made but Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal were show stealers
Acting was great but movie was intolerable in the first half but second was fine...Case when acting was better than the film.
Thakshak (1999)
One of the most underrated masterpiece of bollywood which didn't got its due
Ajay Devgn subtle and Rahul Boses stunning villain portrayal was the highlight of the movie...Tabu was average and Amrish Puri was also amazing but there was one flaw which was the addition of songs which spoils the flow and a fact cannot be denied that it was the era of 90s where no film can work without songs... This films didn't require any song as it focussed on underworld in the form of real estate mafia...Direction was perfect and dialogues were also nice...For me it's a highly recommended film just because of the performances and some good direction...No where close to COMPANY, VAASTAV and leave SATYA behind which I consider the best gangster film as well as of bollywood too but has its moments. Nobody would be disappointed.
