Merry Christmas (2024)
Works for me
I don't know why theatre was empty, it was a very good mystery thriller aided by Unusual pairing and bunch of interesting cameos especially Vinay Pathak and Sanjay Kapoor.
The story is same as Andhadhun. Our Hero gets embroiled in a murder indirectly but this time treatment is different.
Music in this film is not as great as Andhadhun but some of old songs' inclusion lifts the story heavily, editing is also fine and bgm blends well with scenes.
Mr. Sriram Raghavan just Like Quentin Tarantino loves cinema and this movie also proves his love to cinema.
Go watch it otherwise keep complaining that Bollywood movies are not good.
Satyameva Jayate 2 (2021)
Kaun hai Yeh log
It is basically a bhuvan bam vine john abraham playing everyone.
Looks like it all the John abrahams of the world have voted highly here.
Again why John signed this movie is a big question?
Mr. Zaveri please stop giving homage to 70s cinema, if you really want to see a movie where homage is given watch Mard ko Dard Nahi Hota.
Special Ops 1.5: The Himmat Story (2021)
Open your eyes
This follow up series is strictly average.
It tells Himmat Singh's earlier mission where he tries to track down a RAW operative gone rogue (i know same story of Aiyyari and War).
Additionally it uses honey trap for at least three times. And story C is himmat Singh ki love story.
As per my opinion this follow up doesn't give up insight of Himmat.
Kay Kay is great as always and it is good to see Aftab in a decent product.
I think it has become a norm to rate higher on imdb, I don't know whether 9 plus rating is justified for what has been shown in this Web series.
Candy (2021)
Please teach these kids some acting
This is prime example how a show can be ruined by acting department. I do not bother Richa playing shady police officer but I don't like the way she interacts with other i mean there is no need to shout constantly. And another character called Vaayu acts like Gas, I mean really. Other kids from Rudrakund school need some acting lessons, dumb characters, unnecessary expressions this show is just unwatchable.
Voot select has released much inferior product as compared to Asur, this show is very problematic, doesn't have any likable character except Mr. Parekh.
I expected much from maker of Undekhi, but I am disappointed.
I have just watched 3 episodes and I don't think I can go any further.
Save yourself from fake ratings.
The Lost Symbol (2021)
Don't judge this show
Casting Ashley Zukerman is the best decision of makers, I can't imagine Tom Hanks running all across the world as an old man. Given new age and actor this time Robert Langdon feels more human than previous years.
This is best thing as an adaptation of Dan Brown novel. Ron Howard movies looked dull and it kept getting worse.
Waiting for remaining episodes.
Raat Akeli Hai (2020)
Film noir really?
Many critics called it classic example of film noir but I doubt that.
A film noir has a shady femme Fatale well we have a Fatale here but her character is not that shady.
An important detective but here we have Jatil Yadav who just grabs every opportunity to flirt with our lady, this is not how film noir works.
And writer tell me why our detective met our lady in the very first place in movie in flashback, it really does not matter whether hero has met heroine in past or not.
My review is somewhat positive only because of mother and son relationship between Nawazuddin and Ila arun.
Welcome Home (2020)
Two inches short from becoming a masterpiece
Welcome home tells story of two school teachers who are caught in game of life and death.
Acting, cinematography and story is good main problem here is 120 plus minutes long run it could have ended within 90 minutes.
Background score also some times takes your attention away from main story.
Special mention for graphic violence it was great.
Rebecca (2020)
Please Netflix don't go the Disney way
New take on Classic gothic story, New take on classic Hitchcock thriller but it is bad very very bad.
One suggestion Netflix, don't go the Disney way by ruining classics
Halahal (2020)
A bitter truth
A murder, A father searching for answers, A corrupt police officer and poisoned education system. This movie gives you glimpse of everything.
Watch it till the end it gave me feeling of UGLY
Carrie (1976)
One of my earliest encounter with De palma
I don't know how many times I have seen this movie.
Carrie gets to know about her superpower ( decades before superhero movies were famous) that she is telekinetic and she can move things after a tragic incident took place in her school life, her mother is God fearing woman and looks at Carrie as if she has committed a sin.
In third act of film another tragedy happens when Carrie's batch mates manipulate the prom Queen results and declare her as prom Queen.
Now she uses her powers to avenge.
Brian de palma's camera technique ( split screen and diopter shots) deserve special attention.
This movie kickstarted many people's careers including John Travolta, Sissy Spacek, Piper Laurie (relaunched), Amy irwing, William Katt, Betty Buckley, Nancy Allen, Stephen King and Brian de palma himself.
This movie stands outs as one of the finest horror movies from 70s way better than follow up movies that were made to bank on Carrie and miles better than Kimberly pierce directed disastrous Carrie
Westworld (2016)
Season 3 is a mess
I wonder what happened with creators, After mind blowing first season and decent second season third is another downhill for westworld.
Already developed characters had just cameos in this season and new characters like Caleb and Serac were undercooked. Ed Harris ( William) became so helpless oh my God is that a good piece of writing?
One thing was going good in this season that was Chemistry between Bernard and Stubbs but they also were not given much space.
And story sucks, story really sucks...
I had only two good moments in this season.
First : The Shining theme music
Second : Post credit scene ( Especially Return of Man in black)
The Strain (2014)
Brilliant combination of Zombie and Vampire
This show is very good. Story is different characters are different than each other and treatment being given to them is outstanding.
Take Dr. Goodweather for example I didn't like him until end of second season and Mr. Fett and Mr. Setrakian can be everyone's favourite.
I know why it has only 7.3 rating because every 3 - 4 episodes of every season are a bit slower than entire seasons.
It deserves at least 8 out of 10 average.
Kaali (2018)
Kaali kaali kaali
This season of kaali has a lot of plot holes. It is considered to have plot holes in story but Kaali has plot holes in characters as well.
Second season starts with Kaali being held under witness protection programme something goes wrong and Sunny's life is at danger.
After that point story goes same as first season.
I do not have any idea how this is rated higher than expected.
Performance wise Paoli Dam is Damn good, Chandan Roy Sanyal is great. Abhishek benerjee is okay.
There is nothing to say about story
Dark (2017)
An achievement!!!
Tune in to Netflix grab a notebook and a pen write Down family tree and timelines and what you get is a jigsaw puzzle.
Don't follow any article or any YouTube video to understand it make notes by yourself then you will realise what a Beautiful this time travel saga is.
Breaking Bad: Felina (2013)
Best finale ever
Breaking bad is the greatest show ever. And felina is the greatest finale ever.
Gunday (2014)
Hell yes!!!!
This movie made bollywood proud.
Because it is in bottom 100 movies list.
Hell on Wheels (2011)
Hell of a ride
Being a fan of westerns I watched this show and I loved it from start to end.
Best thing about Hell on wheels is Cullen Bohannon ( Anson Mount). He never changes throughout the series.
This show got proper farewell which is a good thing in itself, I am saying it after the fate of HBO'S DEADWOOD.
If you like westerns and epic dramas then you should watch Hell on Wheels.
Chintu Ka Birthday (2020)
Sheer joy
It's chintu's birthday everything is set, only problem is chintu is in War torn Baghdad, will chintu able to celebrate his birthday?
Vinay pathak and Tillotama shome shine as a couple, Seema pahwa finds a corner in your heart, the kid who plays Chintu never looks tired on camera and other members of party are also very good with their respective roles.
Ghoomketu (2020)
A comedy movie that will age well
Ghoomketu is the story of a struggling writer who comes to Mumbai ( bombay for him) for his dreams, will he succeed?
Movie balances very well between comedy and parody (of course not many Indian viewers know parody that's why they may complain about jokes).
I liked Nawazuddin, Ila, Swanand but I loved Anurag Kashyap, I mean how many times we see a police in Hindi movies who is so irresponsible!! he should act as well. Raghuvir Yadav irritated me though.
Vertigo (1958)
Perfect noir
2 star for James Stewart
1 star for Kim Novak
2 star for Bernard Herrman
1 star for Saul Bass
1 star for story
1 star for beating Citizen Kane to become best movie ever
2 Stars for Alfred Hitchcock
Bhram (2019)
Without illusion
This series is okay in terms of story but Kalki's performance is excellent, others didn't get better screen time.
It is story of Alisha a romance writer who is suffering from PTSD begins to feel presence of a spirit after visiting her Sister.
Is it really a presence or just Bhram (illusion)?
I didn't like the ending but that's OK
Extraction (2020)
Action forcefully stuffed in garbage bag
Could not finish it. Russo Brothers so called brand wasted, 1 star for total failure of product 1 extra for Pankaj Tripathi
Zero KMS (2018)
Amazing
Good - Action, Violence, Episode lengths, Superb cinematography, Acting And wholesome direction by Q
Bad - Too much narration and voice over and lack of promotion by Zee5
Intruder (1989)
Instant classic
Intruder is an instant classic of post Halloween and pre Scream era.
Nice set up, great character build up and most importantly stylish killings.
2.0 (2018)
Stupidest Sci fi movie ever
550 crore wasted
Reason : it is stupidest Sci fi movie ever even asylum movies are better than this so called masterpiece
