Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021)

Not just best Spiderman movie but also the best in MCU

[10/10 · 31 January 2022]

This will be one of those movies I thoroughly enjoyed each and every moment from the start to the end. The best MCU movies so far.

Will be my stress buster for the rest of my life.

Attack on Titan: Memories of the Future (2022) Season 4, Episode 20

Terrified for the first time in 4 seasons watching Eren

[10/10 · 31 January 2022]

This episode is truly lit with the amount of drama and revelations. Zeke finally understanding the true nature of his father and at the same time his brother is really what you are waiting for. The way they developed Eren's character from the manga is just awesome.

I really appreciate the voice actors. They really did an amazing job. Thanks to Mappa for putting a lot of efforts and so much heart into this.

I thought Zeke was the mastermind watching 78th episode but this episode made it clear how Eren is the real mastermind and true genius.

Invincible: You Look Kinda Dead (2021) Season 1, Episode 6

Probably the dull episode of the season/series

[6/10 · 16 April 2021]

Not much interesting elements in this episode. Expected more in terms of plot.

Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021)

Totally satisfied

[10/10 · 18 March 2021]

Thanks to Zach Snyder. Am really really satisfied watching this 4 hours film and I may watch it multiple times. The Flash scenes are really well made in this film unlike the 2017 and introduction of Martian Manhunter to DC universe is pretty much awesome. Only sad that the film's aspect ratio is not wide-length, however totally loved the film.

Master (I) (2021)

Not as expected as the combination was huge.

[5/10 · 13 January 2021]

The story was not much and it was dragged for 3 hours. Unnecessary and illogical expressions by Vijay and not so intimidating scenes are involved.

However only Vijay Sethupathy's character's presence felt good even with his par acting as a usual villain.

The best thing of the whole movie is only the music and the bgm.

Not all characters have importance and hero doesn't have any kind of flashback but tells some movie stories as flashback which gets irritating at some point.

In the climax, hero approaches the villain with all the kids and particularly one kid in his arms. That particular scene, Vijay's acting was foolish and direction at that point seemed disgusting... There are some scenes like this in the movie which seemed unnecessarily added.

Anyways, I am a fan of Lokesh so I sincerely wish him all the best for his upcoming projects and wish to see the best plots and making like Khaidhi...

Nishabdham (2020)

Am sorry I had to give it a 1 cause there is no 0 option here

[1/10 · 2 October 2020]

2 hours waste of time. Thanks to Corona, it's not released in theatres. Lazy writing. Dumbest story. Worst acting. Low class music. Disastrous direction. Best example of how to not make a good movie and waste money and efforts.

Spider-Man: Far from Home (2019)

Best Spiderman after years

[9/10 · 5 July 2019]

A spiderman movie with good story built after Endgame with good visuals and screenplay. Jake Gyllenhaal did perfect for his role. Mysterio is amazing as villain even after he was shown dead. There are moments in the film which make you remember Iron Man and you will definitely love those scenes. I really didn't like Homecoming but this one's very good. People in the theater were shooting for the goosebumps scenes in the climax and post credits. And I should this one has the best post credit scenes which will make you lol and jump at edge of your seats. Totally a good spiderman movie in MCU.

Agent Sai Srinivasa Athreya (2019)

Worth my money and time. Must Watch Detective Movie.

[10/10 · 21 June 2019]

No profanity. No romance. No item song or duets. No bada or famous actors. But then this film is worth your money and time. The best Detective movie after *Megastar's Chantabbai*. *Naveen Polishetty* did a remarkable job and has proved a movie doesn't require all the above things if you have right story placed with right screenplay. Hatsoff to the debutant director *Swaroop RSJ* for giving such an interesting movie by trusting solely on the story. Background music is amazing, you will feel the tense and will be on the edge of your seats. Perfect🔥🔥🙏

Agent Sai Srinivasa Athreya (2019)

Must Watch. Once in Lifetime Movie

[10/10 · 21 June 2019]

No profanity. No romance. No item song or duets. No bada or famous actors. But then this film is worth your money and time. The best Detective movie after Megastar's Chantabbai.

Baahubali: The Beginning (2015)

Greatest movie in the Indian History - A visual wonder!!

[9/10 · 27 April 2017]

The first thing and the positive aspect that grabbed my attention to the movie is it's great director - SS.RAJAMOULI !!! Rajamouli is one of the fantastic directors in India with all of his films being a blockbuster success in the Tollywood Industry. The people over Tollywood feel proud about him and his films & they go crazy for his films.Rajamouli works with simple stories (mostly written by his Father K. V. Vijayendra Prasad) but his narration and his taking with a beautifully architectural screenplay makes the audience spine-chill and gains him success.

Coming to the second thing is the title with strongest pillars - Prabhas and Rana and the other characters.You just have to look at how Rajamouli gives every major character in Baahubali its own heroic introduction to realize how keenly he is attuned to the pulse of the audience and knows what button to push to make them cheer.

PLUS POINTS : As you start watching Baahubali, one thing that hits you instantly is the scale of this magnum opus. The extravagant sets, spectacular visuals and the sheer magnitude has not been showcased in any Indian film before. One cannot shy away to laud Rajamouli for thinking something this huge and also executing it on such a mammoth scale. The war sequences and the way they have been executed are in true Hollywood style. Prabhas is terrific in a dual role and is the apt choice as Baahubali. No one except him could have done justice to the role which is larger than life and has many heroic moments. His sheer screen presence and emotional performance will be immensely loved by his fans. As expected, Rana is menacing as the baddie Bhalaladeva. This is a dream role for him and he gives a top notch performance as the bad guy. Ramya Krishna is elegant as Shivagami and brings a lot of depth to the film. Nasser and Satyaraj play their roles perfectly. Second half of the film has a lot of emotions which elevate the film to another level.

MINUS POINTS : The story line of Baahubali is quite routine and predictable. The actual film kick starts only during the second half and ends abruptly which might leave you a bit unhappy. Anushka has nothing much to do in the film as her character will be revealed only during the second part.

Certain war sequences have been dragged out and could have been trimmed to decrease the run time. There is so much hype surrounding the film that certain unwanted songs side tracks the film. The romance between Prabhas and Tamanna also looks exaggerated at times.

TECHNICAL ASPECTS : Where do I start from in this section. Baahubali is by far the most technically brilliant film that has come out from Indian cinema. Each and every frame in the film is sheer magic. The sets, VFX work and graphics are just out of this world. One should be really proud to see such grand visuals especially in a Telugu film. Music is decent but the background score could have been better.

Next in line is the art direction. Sabu Cyril has done a marvelous job with the sets. Be it the palace sets, the kingdom surroundings or the warfare equipment, everything looks impressive. Senthil Kumar's camera work is mind blowing. His awesome visuals are nicely complimented by the stunning VFX. The water fall scenes and some shots during the fight sequence with Kaalakeya have been executed brilliantly.

The way Rajamouli has conceptualized the visuals will be a learning lesson for a generation of aspiring film makers. Even though Rajamouli's screenplay dips a bit here and there, his larger than life approach is what makes this film such a visual treat.

SUMMARY : Baahubali is one film which every Indian movie lover can be extremely proud off. Right from the word go, this visual extravaganza treats you to some never before seen elements in Indian films. Prabhas's stunning avatar as Baahubali, brilliant art work to some eye topping visuals effects, this film has it all. Genius director Rajamouli, should be lauded and supported for his dedication in taking Telugu cinema to the next level. Finally, if you ignore the predictable story line and keep your expectations in check, Baahubali is bound to entertain you big time.

V for Vendetta (2005)

A must watch Movie with an Invisible Hero

[9/10 · 27 April 2017]

Before I tell you about the movie,I just want to ask you some questions that may have already raised in your brains at some point of you.Did you ever think that your government is going in a wrong way in many of the situations? Did you ever thought of protesting your government for its wrong deeds? Did you ever question yourself that you are living in a wrong way in disguise? Do you have any enough courage to question your government? Well there may not be perfect answers to these questions but V for Vendetta will make you think and think out of the box if you sit tight to watch it!!!

Every goddamn thing in the movie is a plus point for the audience to watch it. It makes you sit tight on your seat from the beginning to the end with the acting, the cinematography, the effects, and the general vision of this film and the twists and the marvelous dialogues. Entertaining from the start, V manages to combine a strong sociopolitical message in a compact and highly intense experience. Infused with issues and concepts that pervade in the global political climate of our times, this movie is endowed with a tremendous timely relevance that belies its trappings as a mere action adventure.

The screenplay is great and awesome. In fact, it's a near-masterpiece. What the Wachowski Brothers have done is find the right balance between the theatrics of the graphic novel, and the solemnity to the richly Victorian narrative. They form a dynamic that plays to both sides, allowing for a story that sparks both political debate and giddy entertainment.

Despite the problem of never seeing Weaving's face( the hero V ), there was good acting and an interesting plot. I bet this is the only movie where you love the hero without even knowing his face.You will love the hero's character and the words he utter.

Hidden behind the creepy mask ,Hugo Weaving really proves he is a versatile actor.His character provokes thoughtful questions in future ,and every emotion of his character is brought out by Weaving's performance.Natalie Portman on the other hand also excels,with a convincing accent.She really is the heroine of the film and she handles the role quite well.The scenes between Evey and V are touching and well handled.The rest of the film is superb in its execution.

A spellbinding adventure , exciting action, superb directing and writing and a Sci-Fi film with a thoughtful message,and the first fully satisfying Moore adaptation.This is one of those movies that really sticks in your head long after you watch it though... and it continues to stir and grow... Everything looks beautiful, dark yet vibrant. The cinematography is top notch. The final battle scene brought tears to my eyes.Do not miss 'V for Vendetta'. It's one of the best movies of all time, an eternal classic.
