Brahmastra Part One: Shiva (2022)
Please don't watch it
I guessed that it will have very weak plot when I saw the director's name. And I was right. I have seen lot of bad films but this one has it's own place. It is so bad that I don't know how much to write. I have become speechless after watching this movie.
I think the crew decided to make the VFX first and then put some story around it. In 2022 where eveyone watches good superhero movies with good plot, they still didnt care. There are so many plot holes that you will forget your counting, if you do that. I did that. And I forgot.
I gave 2 stars just because they did a good job with VFX.
Please avoid it.
Darlings (2022)
Dragged for too long
There are good movies and there are bad movies. I can't put this movie in to any of those categories. So my rating is also in the middle. Acting of everyone(mostly) is very good but the story is dragged for too long. It could have been a good movie if it was made within 100 minutes.
You can watch it but if you don't you are not missing out on anything.
Binisutoy: Without Strings (2020)
Good movie 🍿
Ritwick and Jaya, two of my favorites, delivered brilliantly. It's a good movie but don't get me wrong, I thought it could have been better. I wanted more from the movie and that's a plus point to the director.
It's worth your time.
Minnal Murali (2021)
Superhero movie without much happening
It's a very long movie compared to the story. Unwanted scenes are always here and there. Do not put much expectations on this "Superhero" movie. It felt like "why am I watching this?".
Little spoiler:
There is only about 10-15 mnts of so called superhero action.
Superstore (2015)
Not that funny but it's okay to watch
I enjoyed bit of here and there. If three main characters were removed I'd have enjoyed it more, I guess. Amy, Jonah, Garrette were my least favorite and may be they are supposed to be everyone's fav, I don't know. At the ending stage I liked them too.
I tried to watch every episode with a hope that it will get better in humor, but no.
But I must say, it has something for which I finished every season.
The Guilty (2021)
A predictable thriller
It could have been a 50 minutes long good thriller, instead it became a stretched movie. Jake was great though. You could give it a shot. I haven't seen the original one so I can't compare how it's different or same with that.
Dhamaka (2021)
Bad, very bad, Dhamaka...
I am shocked to see the current rating of this movie @8.4 as on 20/11/2021. I thought of writing a review with plot holes. Then I realized that there are so many plot holes that it's not possible to write those down in a single review. Worst of all is the ending which doesn't make any kind of sense. Just to portrait media as an evil entity, they did whatever they could.
Sooryavanshi (2021)
Not worth the time
The story is very poorly written. Unnecessary loud music and not laughable jokes and very poor climax didn't do any justice either.
Very little spoiler:
The terrorists felt like less terrorist and more like stupid people.
Free Guy (2021)
How it got over 7 rating!
Just finished watching it. It's bad. Simple review for you. I got a headache now.
As of now it's a very much over rated movie. I guess if Ryan was not in this, it would have gotten like 4*
Sherni (2021)
Long. Extra long.......
This is like a 1 hour mini-film. It is stretched too much. The plot was not moving. We get to know who are the good guys and who are the bad ones withing 30 minutes of the movie. But then it stuck there until the ending.
Main, Meri Patni... Aur Woh! (2005)
It's an underrated gem!
Don't think twice about watching this movie. A beautiful story told in a very simple way. It's a gem hidden in a film industry which tends to focus on quantity over quality of films.
Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar (2021)
Not a bad movie. Not a good movie either.
It's a mediocre movie. I had not much expectation with this movie. But the director's name, Dibakar Banerjee, made me to watch it. Am I disappointed? Not really. Did I enjoy? Yeah, sometimes. You can give it a try but don't keep your expectation high.
Army of the Dead (2021)
Meh
The "zombies" are just normal human beings with extra strength. Alpha leader was wearing a bulletproof cover to protect his head. His girlfriend was pregnant while she was killed. (She could be his wife also, I am not sure. They didn't show their marriage. It might happen off screen)
It was the moment when I completely lost it.
Meh.
The Umbrella Academy (2019)
Poker face
It's kinda boring. I wanted to really like the series. I tried and tried but....
Ludo (2020)
Thinking what to watch? Go for it
Really I didn't expect it to be this good. The direction and the humor are at it's best. If you are thinking you should watch it or not, take my suggestion and, watch it.
Everyone in the movie was brilliant. Only one thing, it could be little bit shorter. Still worth a watch.
Raat Akeli Hai (2020)
Flaws.. and more flaws..
It could have been a good film. Started with a good hooking scene. But as the movie goes it gets dull. It will make no sense of police work and sometime I really doubted that if Nawaz is a police officer or a private investigator. It feels like the writer had an idea of a thriller, then he wrote an ending and then he fills up the story to knot the loose ends. But it backfires sadly. And you will not even get all your questions answered.
Anyway you could watch it to see the acting abilities of some actors.
The Violin Player (2015)
Too long. I mean literally it is tooooo long
There is no complaint regarding the acting of both the main actors. The story gets predictable after a certain time but that is not an issue. The main issue for me was the length of the movie. It could have been a great short movie of 25 minutes but it is stretched. May be that is to developing the characters but imo it is a bit long.
Shobdo Jobdo (2020)
Mediocre
After 2nd episode it becomes predictable a bit. There was scope to make it a good series but it failed to do that. Rajat Kapoor is brilliant as well. It couldn't build up the edge of the seat aspect as we would have liked. Not a bad series but it couldn't cross the mediocre line.
Parineeta (2019)
Ritwick, Subhasree and a promising plot with loopholes
The movie started really amazingly. The plot, direction, acting all went very smoothly. You will be directly hooked with the movie from the beginning. From around 60+ minutes it goes downhill a bit. Few times I thought what the *u*k has happened suddenly.
Give it a try. Overall a watchable movie.
P. S. Whatever time Ritwick Chakraborty was on the screen, along with Subhasree, was pure gold.
Bijoya (2019)
It's worth watching because of Jaya Ahsan & Kaushik Ganguly
The acting quality of Jaya Ahsan and the dialogue throwing timing is totally world class. Few dialogues can make anyone speechless.
