Bawaal (2023)
Must Watch!
One of those rare movies that got a direct release on OTT and was able to capture hearts!
And another rare quality about this direct OTT release- Clean movie, clean content, no intimacy, no abuses, can easily be watched in a family atmosphere!
Talking about the story, it's a romantic one, and it has all the drama, emotions, comedy, everything in the right amounts to get one hooked to this movie! Won't add any spoilers but the way the story has been narrated from the beginning until the conclusion, it just feels right!
Performance wise Varun Dhawan is one underrated star, have always been saying that about him. He's a great actor and this movie has been carried on his shoulders! Talking about Jahnvi Kapoor, she's okay, she fits the character well, but her acting is not the best one if we compare her with her contemporaries in the industry. But for this particular role, she fits quite well, she's just fine enough for me to not want to imagine any other actress fitting her place in the role of Nisha!
Nitesh Tiwari as the director is a blessing to Bollywood! Dangal, Chhichhore, Chillar Party & now Bawaal, he's just hit it right every time! Would want to watch his future endeavours for sure after this movie as well!
Music is original, thankfully, it's just too good! Has 4 songs in total & all of them are groove-worthy! The background score is apt & good as well!
All in all, I couldn't stop myself from rating Bawaal a 10/10 ! Watch it, you have no reason not to!
Bhediya (2022)
PERFECT IS THE WORD FOR THIS ONE!
Be it the story, be it the performances, be it the music or the direction, this movie stands out on every platform.
It's a very good concept & this supernatural VFX rich movie also comes with a social message!
Varun Dhawan is an underrated actor & this movie goes on to prove that fact ! His acting is superb! Abhishek Banerjee stands par with Varun's performance & is another added grace to this movie, superb acting by him. Loved Deepak Dobriyal & Palin Kabak in their roles too!
Kriti is great as usual but this movie has her in limited screen time!
The VFX of this movie are fabulous, amazing 3D Experience, this movie is meant to be watched in the theatres.
The story is engaging & you can't get bored for even one second!
Hats off to Amar Kaushik who gave us Stree & now Bhediya.
And Dinesh Vijan's creativity is amazing who's building a Horror Comedy universe curated to Indian Cinema.
All in all , Bhediya is a full on Paisa Vasool movie. MUST WATCH (especially in theatres to experience true cinema).
Spoiler alert- wait for the mid credits scene where you will find references to Stree 2 😀
Ek Villain Returns (2022)
Good movie!
There are some interesting twists & turns in this one. It works on the lines of its predecessor but it doesn't turn out to be as good as that, it still does the job well! It was interesting. Not a moment in those 2 hours where I felt like skipping any scene.
On the Story front I would rate this movie wins good! Story is the king of this movie. Would rate the story 4/5.
Mohit Suri's direction has never been bad & in this movie too, he proves yet again that he's one good director!
On the Acting front, John was average, Arjun was average too but better than John.
Disha Patani was okay too, but it is Tara Sutaria who has acted the best among this lot.
Also this movie includes a song sung by Tara Sutaria herself. Until this movie, I had no idea about Tara's voice being this beautiful.
An average of 3/5 when it comes to acting!
Music is 4.5/5 if not 5/5. Tara's debut song steals the music show! She definitely has an incredible voice!
I have no idea why this movie has been rated this badly! Don't go with the ratings, it's a good watch!
PS- it has a surprise in the end!
Brahmastra Part One: Shiva (2022)
Blockbuster Magnum Opus! GRAND MOVIE!
A long review-I loved this movie & I will explain in my LONG review, "WHY". To understand my opinion I will request the readers to read it till the end!
Would like to bust some rumours about this movie, that some people are spreading some purposeful negativity about this movie-
1) The story- Bcott gang members are saying that the story is bad. Not at all! Story is absolutely fine, yes it is not too good, but it is decent & entertaining! I would rate the story 7/10. Some scenes could have been removed from the story I believe but that's okay. It's a Bollywood movie & they are some Bollywood components!
2) Dialogues- Yes this is the most average part of the movie. Dialogues could be better, and I don't know who has written them, but the dialogues were not upto the mark. But that doesn't make any effect against the movie.
3) Performances- When you have actors like Amitabh Bachchan, Alia Bhatt & Ranbir Kapoor acting in a movie can you really find their acting bad? No right? The performances are a 10/10 as per the script. Some people are spreading rumours that Ranbir's acting is bad & that's absolutely wrong! The surprise here in the movie was Mouni Roy as Junoon. She was fab as the negative character & she perfectly suited the role. Also her role is definitely not inspired by Scarlet Witch. She is Junoon & the Red colour around her has a significance which gets revealed in the movie.
4) It is NOT inspired by any Hollywood movie neither do they have copied any scenes from any Hollywood movie. It's a pure original film & this is a first for Bollywood even to create a movie without taking any inspirations from Hollywood (a movie of such great levels of VFX).
5) The VFX & The 3D print of the film is the King here. Never has Bollywood ever made a movie with such great VFX. Both VFX & SFX were perfect! Also this movie is meant to be watched in 3D. Don't even try watching in 2D!
6) Music- Voiced by Arijit, all songs are too good.
The overall effect this movie leaves with you is that of a 10/10 (even though I gave it's story a 7, overall it entertains you perfectly, hence the 10/10). It is entertaining to watch & it has to be watched.
It builds itself on a grand scale & now when you watch it till the end, it will make you want to watch its next Part. If the movie is able to do that for everyone, you know it has been great!
This movie's a must watch & I genuinely feel everyone should give it a try!
Night Sky (2022)
This is just one perfect Sci-Fi show we need right now!
JK Simmons & Sissy Spacek are just perfect in this one. People are calling it slow, but wait, even if it is slow in parts, it is because the story needs that slow movement to build up the interest of the viewer & mind you this show has perfectly done that. The story is very very interesting till the last scene of the season! It is full of mysteries, full of surprises & definitely it is not a story where you can guess what happens. I really hope there is a season 2 to this (clearly waiting for Amazon to announce it, I hope they do!). It's a must watch show, especially if you love sci-fi shows!
The Accidental Prime Minister (2019)
Horrible in every manner!!
Anupam Kher who claimed that he deserves an Oscar for this film is so wrong! He has mimicked Manmohan Singh and nothing more than that. You don't call this an act. It's like a flop comedian trying to act in an episode of Comedy Circus. More than that, this film is weak in everything. Story, Content, Performances, Direction and whatever other than these factors. Rather than wasting time and money on this movie, go watch Uri. This movie is the biggest accident of this decade. Anupam Kher's career is dead after this.
Prem Ratan Dhan Payo (2015)
Well a nice Family entertainer it is!
Isn't it actually funny the way people are just giving negative reviews about this film!? Yes Sooraj Barjatya made a film in 2015 without any kiss, without any intimate scene, minus foul language! Is this the reason that today's generation couldn't accept this movie! For me this movie has proved to be a great entertainer, one can watch with his/her family without any moment of awkwardness! Sooraj Barjatya gets the 90s effect back in this decade! Family values, love everything is back on screen after about 15-20 years! And we have Salman Khan back as Prem once again! Yes makes you laugh, makes you wanting to be as responsible as him! The Prem effect gets back on the screen after so long!Sonam Kapoor looks could, and she could have looked better if she could have acted a bit better! But yes, she delivers aptly what she could have! Swara Bhaskar, Neil Nitin Mukesh, Anupam Kher all of them have delivered a good performance!
Now talking about the negative part of the movie, the movie is 2 hours and 56 mins long! Few scenes are dragged and quite a few of them weren't even required in the film! The action scenes in the end were a bit too much! But yes they were required.
Music of the film is quite average. 2 or 3 songs are good. On the whole, Prem Ratan Dhan Payo is a good (not great) family entertainer! Go watch it with your family!
Katti Batti (2015)
Awesome movie!
Well first of all I am absolutely shocked by the critics' negative reviews about this movie! This movie has proved to be one great entertainer! Katti Batti has the potential to touch your hearts! This movie has much of Imran Khan who is back after a long term break! And yes..he's actually back! The first half of the movie tickle's your funny bone! It makes you laugh and makes you feel that yes, love is there around you! The second half of the movie strikes the emotional chords! And the last 20 minutes of the movie leaves you with teary eyes! There is less of Kangana in Katti Batti! But her performance though less, is a strong an appreciable one! On the whole Katti Batti is a great watch! All the performances are great and entertaining! Go watch this flick and ignore the critics :)
Roy (2015)
Don't watch it!
Warning- Spoiler Alert! You might get a small idea about the story if you read this.
The only thing to you will be delighted to see in this movie is Cars, Bikes, Awesome locations and Jacqueline (she looks gorgeous)! The story is damn confusing! The movie has two tracks running parallel to each other. Thank God they are inter-related to some extent! But..the plot of the movie is so confusing that it keeps making you think that what the hell is going! The movie just comprises random scenes compiled all together to form a baseless movie! The genre of the movie is really not thriller! Its just a Romantic-Drama. Ranbir Kapoor has nothing much to do with the real lives of Arjun Rampal and Jacqueline! Well both the stories told in the movie are so confusing that you would want to leave the theater much before the movie reaches its climax! This movie is a time waste and a waste of money! It is better to be avoided!
