Stree 2: Sarkate Ka Aatank (2024)
Stree 2 is so poorly done
Rajkumar and Shraddha return as the hit pair promising to solve another horror mystery. But the mystery falls short with Stree 2, as the plot has too many loose ends to an otherwise good movie.
The plot has no story when a Ramsay hyped Zinda murdha naps women to win over Stree. The movie lauds to a roller coaster of how the sequel of stree promises hype to an already overrated movie.
Graphics save this movie, as Rajkumar couldn't convince the audience with his screen presence much. The story falls prey to a bold Tamannah song who falls prey to the monster and Rajkumar the protector adorns a Chatrapathi shivaji maharaja kind of a attire to a remix of a comic Ramsay movie.
Mathu Vadalara 2 (2024)
MV2 is stupid comedy with not so serious plot
Nonsensical as it sounds, MV2 is an overrated film with no plot to convince the audience. The Cast follows another Sunil-Satya pair for unconvincing comedy to spice up the already boring film.
The plot takes an extension to its prequel, as the thriller stands off ghastly to lure a proper storyline. And in the attempt of comedy, the story has zero conviction to make it happen.
Ajay was a surprise element to the 2nd Half of the movie, as it promised some twist of tale to promise some thrill.
The director has used a parody version of a thriller that can woo the audience. But this time he failed.
Kalinga (2024)
A rare gem in the making. Kalinga promises everything in an action and supernatural thriller
Kalinga is a great combination of storyline and versatile direction. A round of applause to the director for bringing a good story to the screen with a sound research that convinces audience with the plot or crux of the story.
In the synopsis of the plot, Linga our protagonist/hero lives a simple life in the outskirts of a village run by a corrupt zamindar and his brother. To win his love, Linga seeks for acquiring the land of his ancestor, the zamindar gives away a cursed land in return. Linga ventures into the cursed land with his friend to find a twist in the tale as how a supernatural monster picks it's prey from the rest of the villagers.
The direction is so classic and takes a great conviction of how a rare gem of a movie Kalinga is. The movie had one melody song between the lead, that won my attention.
Thanks to all unit and crew for making such a marvelous movie. Hope you shine to stardom with more stories and direction under your helm.
Splendid!!
Devara: Part 1 (2024)
Devara is a perfect experiment of South and Bollywood Cinema
Let the haters push the hate wave but this film brings a festival to NTR fans right from the start. Following an experiment like Andhrawala, NTR brings back a father-son dual role action feature to establish his supremacy again as Nandamuri Tarakarama rao jr.
The first half is an action entertainer that portrays how NTR and Saif are great friends but the the complexity of their friendship is revealed as the plot progresses in the length of convincing the audience at will. The fights were good, especially the seashore fight when the waters get drenched in red blood.
The 2nd Half misses the plot and is misdirected to an elevation of giving importance to NTR's second character Vara, but the glamorous Jahnvi brings her part well to keep the audience happy.
The dance numbers were well performed by NTR as he did in Yamadonga, Adurs, Kantri.
Something that disappointed me was the lack of sufficient comedy that can keep us connected to the plot like Adurs and Brindavanam. Koratala Siva tried to mimick Rajamouli with the Shark fight inspired from Chatrapati starring Prabhas. Hope Part 2 brings the director to his self in film making and not copy somebody again.
All in all, this is indeed a festival to NTR fans.
The Greatest of All Time (2024)
Another Remake but Vijay tops the show
The film was a festival for fans as they flooded to see their fav star again. But the movie was not putting their happiness for long.
The story has no plot and again wins a bigil like dual performance. The count of cameos in the film made the story a little stretchy. Inspired from Hollywood Expendables, this movie is too lengthy for a 3 hour film. Interval scene was so forced.
A lot of political references were asking fans to enjoy. Whistle podu song was another disappointment, watching Prabhudeva and prashant dance next to Vijay and Vijay steps are not as much as his early songs like Thanjavur Jillakari or Appadi Podu. The return of Trisha in Matte song was like Gilli again. But these are all the fireworks.
The 2nd Half was not connecting well with the first half l. And the climax was so lengthy.
All in all the director made a "Goat" out of Vijay, disrespecting his dedication to his films. Vijay sir, please select good directors and stories. If the hint to a political career is true, we all wish you win as much fame in politics as you did in movies.
Munjya (2024)
Random scare, Extensive use of CGI for a good storyline, makes the film Non-horror
A good story that mimicks the legend to a perfect tone, a good supporting cast and a sensible type of direction puts Munjya in safe hands but....
The film fails to convince horror as the spirit is a kid, this horror comedy has more fun than shrieks and chills. There was attempt made to thrill the audience but the attempts were all tampered to the sense of supernatural horror. Few clips reminded me with inspiration from Asian and Hollywood horror like Acacia, The Guardian and much.
The ghost was itself reminding us with the imp from the Lord of the Rings. The director has made a safe attempt to woo the audience but doesn't impress to its best reveal.
Dhoomam (2023)
A movie that falls short of conviction. Dhoomam is lost in it's own fantasy of undermined thriller
The start is with the protagonist Faahad Fasilgiving lift to his friend (Aparna Balamurali) in an audi car in rain only to get injected with some drug by a stranger and finds himself on top of a hill with the car exploding minutes after him walking out. As unconvincing as it is, the screenplay is too far from reality as Faahad has revealed super strength like powers who carries Aparna to a godown. And the rest of story is a game of expected trivia between Faahad and Roshan Mathews(Sid) in act of survival.
Inshort the film is "Survivor series" remade in the length of a movie. Roshan Mathews gave a good performance impacting his role and the plot of the film but the rest of the Cast are merely puppets and address flaws in the script itself.
Badshah & Neeti Mohan: Bad Boy (2019)
Prabhas is a sweet but a "bad boy" darlingey!!
This song was so energetic to listen to. The music, the foam, the gang of ladies running up and around Prabhas and Jacqueline Fernandez pairing up with Our hero - Prabhas was so beautiful to watch. They make a perfect pair for an action film and the casting unit should make one soon, with Gautam Menon directing his action flick. That could make news like heaven in South cinema.
As for the song, Prabhas did a perfect bad boy, the tank was so macho, the lyrics presented a forgotten side of Prabhas as we saw him in Eeswar, Munna and Billa. The bg score for this song is my ringtone on my phone.
We need a remix for this song darling. Hope fans are listening.
Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai (2000)
A perf3ct debut film for Hrithik Roshan as a solo lead
Such a good song album, cast, Ameesha patel and Hrithik Roshan come together to make Kaho naa pyaar Hai.
Hrithik as Rohit is a salesman hosting a car as a gift to a billionaire's daughter. Alisha celebrates her birthday to get wooed by Hrithik Roshan and so love at first sight blooms between the duo with a beautiful Playlist of songs including Chand Sifarish and Pyaar ki Kashti main. Oh the romance was so real between the pair as Rakesh Roshan stole the show pushing Rohit to a sudden death and reintroducing Hrithik as Raj to Ameesha in Switzerland with a energetic Ek Pal ka Jeena. This dance number with Hrithik Roshan is still a hit on every dance floor.
The film has its moments of awesomeness and was not something to end with a happy ending. I wish this film had an infinite loop to embrace Hrithik Roshan's magic
The film is still a remake to Love Birds(1996) starring Prabhu deva and Nagma.
Dhoom:2 (2006)
Dhoom 2 is the best film in Dhoom franchise
10 is so low, this film deserves a 100. The script had Hrithik Roshan all over the film. From his dance form, to his stylish galore of thefts, his act to be the perfect thief, action sequences and a beautiful chemistry with Aishwarya Rai is Dhoom 2, at its best.
As the iconic antique thief, Hrithik is Aryan/Mister A who has his vision set to get away with priceless antiques but finds the brainiac Abhishek bachchan to stop him. The music was so stunning to dance with especially Dhoom again, Dil laga and Crazy Kiya re. The onscreen pairing of Hrithik and Aishwarya was so stunning to ask for. Hrithik was at the top of his Gane as the perfectionist and his disguises are all a galore from the queen, to the white greek statue, the old support staff, father in airport and the Clown at a carnival.
Wow, Dhoom 2 should have a sequel with Hrithik leading the film again to a grandeur of how he's the perfect thief.
Mr. A, please do come back soon!!
Volcano (1997)
An underrated Nature disaster
Volcano is a good movie. An applause to the thought of plot, storyline and cast to reveal the complexions as in reality.
The making of this film was so creative, especially the way the lava was moving. The act of Tommy Lee Jones is another great gesture of how original this film was right from the start.
The script and storyline keeps audience tensed with a nail biting performance from each actor casting their best role.
The climax part was so real to change the course of the lava stream into an ocean using an abandoned building and breaking it with dynamite. It looked so real.
I am a huge fan for this film, as it tops my list of nature disaster with Twister to follow.
Indian 2 (2024)
Shankar has verbally announced his retirement
Indian the prequel to this film brings a galore of nail biting experiences to the screen. And as titled, Indian 2 lacks the basic essence of convicing the audience for a lengthy 3 hour film.
Bad direction and a poor storyline disappoints the moviegoers to the core. The casting is a problem as well, as Siddharth was so aged to be seen as a college student.
And as Kamal Hasan sir adores his celebrated disguise,the makeup fails to convince us again. The action sequences are so difficult for a 75 yr old elderly man, but the cgi does it with ease.
The eminence of Kamal Hasan best - acting was undervalued and poorly portrayed on screen. The music was terribly bad and mediocre as the bg score lacks the presence of AR Rahman.
Shankar couldn't bring the best performance from this mighty cast together, as he lays defeated to his energetic direction as seen and embraced by millions until Enthiran.
The story mimics a one man army to exhibit the dark side of a political-societal war which adds to a cringe or parody of the prequel blockbuster - Indian.
This Indian is so unrealistic and is more a superhero without a mask or cape. Sadly disappointing.
Shrimad Ramayan (2024)
Ramayan made on a strict budget
We know the story, its a myth celebrated with faith as a holy book for Hindus. But this series was so budget constrained. The series was fine until the build of Ram setu, the mighty sea link between India and Srilanka.
Suraj rei who played Ram couldn't convince himself as Ram, Rushiraj Pawar was so energetic that he added phun and fun to his act as Meghanada. Vaanar sena were so less in number, only 20 or more were seen on screen. Rushiraj/Meghanada came with a comic avatar in all his action sequences in the battlefield.
The direction lacked professionalism as the battle was so forced with less crew in the background fighting as Vanara and demons. Even the face cut for Hanuman, Jambhavan, Jatayu were forced.
Ram had a fight with 5 demons which was highlighting a western Cowboy shootout but was not Ramayan. The action in this epic disappointment is so forced and unconvincing.
Nikitin Dheer did his best as Raavan and laid justice to his role. All in all, This is not worth comparing to the classic Ramayan we had in the 90s.
RRR (Rise Roar Revolt) (2022)
RRR - Ridiculous, Repulsive, Repeat
A lackluster from Rajamouli sir is RRR put together. The cast was huge with Jr Ntr, Ram Charan, Ajay Devgan, Alia Bhatt but was compromised to the flick of forced conviction.
This film takes inspiration to be a remake of Jackie Chan, Owen wilson starrer Shanghai Knights for the first half and end credits. And the 2nd Half is Tarzan (in pants). It's so fun without any laugh to ask for. Ram charan as Alluri Sitaramaraju was a shocker, the climax fight was so fantasized and boring as the director jumped off to illusions. Ntr jr gave a explosive start fighting a tiger in the jungle but that's to it, as he almost disappeared in the rest of the film.
Ajay devgan was not used to this talent and action was always short for his entry or screen time. Alia Bhatt was literally forced to the audience as she was not connected to the story at all.
This flick only made name and fame for the sizzling dance number "Naatu Naatu" song which won an Oscar and can fetch more awards for bringing the best dancers of telugu industry together.
Jailer (2023)
Another Rajini magic.. Super Thalaiva all the way
Rajinikanth was so energetic, bringing his classic act back to the screen again. His pairing was Ramya Krishnan is always exciting to watch.
A good story, a great cast and Thalaiva Rajinikanth is all Jailer is about
As the story surfaces, Rajinikanth is a retired jailer who lives a normal life with his family escorting his grandson from school. As his son is also a cop, vanishes from the daily life asking Rajinikanth to reveal his dark side of a Cop galore kind of Baasha film is all seen in the rest of the story.
Shiva Rajkumar, Mohan Lal, Vinayakan, Jackie shroff, play their parts well to woo the audience.
Rajinikanth ruled the script and Yogi babu convinced the audience with his comic. Tiger ka Hukum is an anthem for fans, as we still sing this song in our hearts as we watch the movie again. The reveal of Rajinikanth's past as a jailer and his walk of fame as aface off to Vinayakan are classics.
Impressive action sequences, Thalaiva, dialogues and Tammanah's item song make this film a blockbuster.
Salaar: Part 1 - Ceasefire (2023)
Another "Prabhas" Blockbuster
Thrilling, Action packed, high octane drama is what Salaar is.
This historical gangster film convinces audience with how powerful Prabhas can be. His combination with the KGF director Prashant Neel has truly impressed the audience right from the start.
With a gigantic cast of actors, waiting to impress, the film doesn't fail to promise audience with red blood sword slashing action.
The first half was a elevation to Prabhas reminding fans with Raghavendra (an old Prabhas film) and how his mother binds him to non violence, Shruti Hasan was undervalued as the actress known for her glamour could have given a good dance number.
2nd Half had everything asking fans for Chatrapati 2.0, His entry into the evil den city, hisapproach to the red sanctum of Women and his dialogue before the classic fight that revealed the action that Prabhas once was so thickened with.
Excited for Part 2...
Kalki 2898-AD (2024)
Amitabh Bachchan saab saved this film.
Overhyped, overrated and a ridiculous storyline. That's Kalki 2898 AD as a movie. This nonsense of a scifi Indian film is a parody of hollywood blockbusters getting inspired from acombination of Mad max, The last Airbender (for climax fight) and Chronicles of Riddick for the 2898 costumes.
Nag Ashwin should have concentrated more on Mahabharata than this failed experiment of a movie. Thanks for not copying any Star wars episode into this baseless storyline.
I was deeply unimpressed with what the director has offered on screen, making legendary actors look like clowns. And I am not talking about Prabhas.
Kamal Hasan couldn't impact the plot with his act. The connection to Mahabharata for a super fantasized future is not connecting well especially with Gandiva bow as veiled by Kamal sir in the end credits scene.
Sous la Seine (2024)
A parody to reptile or animal horror
Under Paris is an absolute joke of a movie that brings no sense of a thrill or logic to animal horror.
The film brings zero conviction to audience right from the start as a team of scientists are killed in the pacific leaving a woman as the only survivors. Years later, she finds the same Shark in Paris city to be haunted by its presence.
The Shark is a new species of its own which is not revealed as how a predator species with instant reproduction is seen in the modern day waters of the planet.
With dumb act, poor storywriting and a bad climax to offer, we see Paris submerged under water in a illogical and bad climax of a Shark horror movie. It was like Mad mad mad world revisited for me
Some people compared this poor show with Jaws and that's not worth it.
Billa (2009)
A Hollywood style - Telugu film making fans go crazy in 2009
Billa, is Prabhas's best version of Don. Prabhas sizzled the screen as Don/Billa with his macho looks, style, guns and pretty much everything.
His dedication was well portrayed by director Meher Ramesh. The film is a copy of Ajith's Billa (Tamil) with the landscape featuring Malaysia but did Prabhas, Anushka and Krishnam Raju sir put a combination to convince audience with the Don story.
Music was well put by Manisharma with Bommali, My name is Billa winning hearts from fans and Telugu audience. Prabhas put a macho look on screen with a eight pack body making fans go crazy and asking scores of telugu audience to win inspiration for bodybuilding.
The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare (2024)
A underrated High octane action flick
Cast, story and a great screenplay brings Henry Cavill, Alan Ritchson and Guy Ritchie together to promise action from the start. And it did.
This WW2 - Behind enemy lines type action film brings together a team of highly skilled assassins with a license to kill. The director has put a well rehearsed script promising the secret behind Ian fleming's James Bond with a team.
The introduction and elevation to every character has put audience to get impressed with a flair of action and humor.
Henry and Alan did their part well while the co-stars put a decent effort to a perfect narration.
This film is just another gem of aperformance for Henry Cavill like his classic act as Napoleon solo in The Man from UNCLE.
Yakshini (2024)
An Overrated and failed experiment of a Supernatural horror
The trailer lays hype to an outcast of a poor screenplay and failed experimentation of a disaster. The episodes bring no sense of thrill or horror and is just plain drama with no chill to offer.
The story shows no plot, offering it's unconvincing screenplay of what can be a blistering horrific hit of the Malayalam legend - Yakshi, the supernatural maiden who hunts for blood and lust
The cast is another drawback as even comedy is not promised at large for some humor. Lakshmi Manchu cannot act, her dialogue delivery is something like a dark side of a parody. Ajay was travelling in space with the touch of a flower, ridiculously more powerful than the illuminati of illusions
All that was revealed was a story with a poor budget and untalented acting. No cgi was shown to reveal a scare at all possible scenes when needed.
Veda brings her beauty to the screen promising her charm to impress audience. All in all, the Tv series is just a hype and nothing much.
Tillu Square (2024)
Tillu square is Tillu reloaded
Fun, fun and Tillu (Siddu Jonnalagadda) to the core. Tillu square marks the return of DJ Tillu who will never forget Radhika for cheating him, meets Lilly(Anupama parameswaran) in a bar and the cupid strikes again asking Tillu to fall in love with Lilly. The film stands as a comic flashback to Dj Tillu reminding Tillu with a load of events as it's prequel. Prince, Neha Sshetty, Murali sharma and Muralidhar goud keep their supporting roles at their best promising an entertainer from the start.
Tillu square is fashionably comic promising laughter and fun from the lead. The pair of Tillu and Lilly win our hearts at its best. Tillu's telangana slang convinces us with fun, "Ido Atluntadi mantoni" is the best dialogue after Radhika.. 😆
Radhika Radhika is an awesome song from this song with it's lyrics winning audience on the fly.
Bandh Darwaza (1990)
The perfect Indian Vampire film
Bandh Darwaza is an eerie, scary film from the start. The film takes it's audience to the depths of Indian Vampire horror with it's well played script and casting. The plot is well versed to spook us all with goosebumps for Anirudh agarwal topped the show as Nevla the vampire. His act was so demonic that it gave us thrills with the bgm making us believe the spine chilling thriller to be real. Vijayendra ghatge convinced us all as the lead protagonist taking care of Nevla twice.
The film promises chills, bites and scares as hell at regular intervals. Thanks to Shyam and Tulsi Ramsay for making this masterpiece.
Yodha (2024)
Bollywood style Rambo film
Story has a knack for Action and thriller. The script imitates plots from Liam Neeson's A team and Non stop.
Siddharth is a commando operating under Yodha team saving people from danger. He's a total one man army who is suspended for not saving a nuclear scientist. In his failed attempt of rescue, he gets kicked off the flight and he gets up and runs after the plane as if nothing happened.
Years after, he boards another flight as a commando and finds himself in a scam that highlights him as the prime suspect or a hijacker.
Siddharth is a super soldier who can take a grenade, regain consciousness within minutes and fight the enemy in waters near the border (This is his intro scene)
All action has a supporting slice of life melody or sad music to keep the audience near to the remote to fast forward the tracks.
The film lags professionalism as the story is heavy and has impacted the roles more than enough, especially with Siddharth. Rashi khanna has put up a decent show as a support character.
Geethanjali Malli Vachindi (2024)
A ghastly non comic horror flick
A great cast, poor picturization and a terrible script is all that brings Geetanjali 2 together.
With no plot to offer from the start, the Cast is put in a confused maze of unprofessional direction. The story takes a imitation from Actor Srikanth's Raa Raa (2018) film with Ravi Shankar, Ali, Sunil, Anjali, Srinivas Reddy and rest of cast put together in a nonsensical horror attempt with a flair of unconvincing comedy.
Some budget graphics used in climax when Rao Ramesh comes back as a spirit from his Ashes and fights Geetanjali in a Ganga remix of a fight between two spirits.
Zandu balm is a must if audience still decide to watch this illogical film.
