The Doctorwho

Hello people, Probably I’m too late to watch a set of seasons that takes us through a journey never been portrayed on Indian silver or golden screens (that’s what they call it right?). So, lets get into my reviews on both the seasons of TVF tripling. Not to mention, you might find some spoilers if you haven’t watched it, so beware. The story starts with a guy who has stayed loyal all his life and gets ditched by his wife who calls in for a divorce. Frustrated by his situation, he gets fired and world suddenly starts going down for him. In the time of crisis, he chooses to come back to India to his family just to find out that his siblings are not in a better shape too. They somehow happen to share a road trip where they reconnect to the nostalgic times. They rediscover that connection that had been lost while they chose to become busy in their own lives. All the crazy stuffs that happen on this road trip is the plot of the show. While I start talking about the cast, I believe Sumit Vyas lacks a little in terms of providing that intensity when it is needed. Although, turns out to be the best choice when it comes to the old school character and gives justice to the “bada bhai” compared to other two. Maanvi as usual is a sweetheart and I would have been surprised if it would have been played by someone else. Yet, I personally find few of her portrayals as the queen too unnatural. Chitvan (Amol Parashar) plays his part as the kid of the gang but waves off when it comes to acting serious. Individually they seem a little loose at times but when taken as a gang, they couldn’t have been more perfect. In short, chemistry plays the right cues when needed and makes the story well behaved and streamlined. Basically, that 2% issues that I noticed can be easily overlooked upon for they all have a great sync which is required when you make a film. Direction, photography and background scores as well as the motivating creations touch your heart and suit the storyline too. All in all, it’s a masterpiece created by a set of IITians, unjustified to be called as novices. I believe the team of TVF has a great potential to take Indian cinema to a next level where we can compete against some of the great works existing in the overseas market. My ratings : 5/5 (Inspite of being a non-conventional offbeat plot, it was difficult to point out any flaws in the creation and delivery) Ciao Pratik Bajaria

Hello, Before I start, a short disclaimer regarding spoilers for all the HR/TS fans reading this post. As a short synopsis goes, movie is about saving India from terror attacks which keep on repeating after Sartaj from SG or Raj Kumar ji from Triranga have been trying to; let’s not get into those. HR and TS are colleagues turned foes due to their patriotic ventures but somehow share a somewhat ...ahem ahem relationship. While they are tying to save India, they play holi offseason and Dayaben na garba wherever they meet. Although, I must appreciate the assets like BMW or Audi they use while doing so instead of mere clapping sequences. Movie comes to an end with a climax that will only keep you thinking that either of HR or TS is god or astrologer of highest levels. Fight sequences seem ugly for VFX playing unnecessary roles and expressions of both actors are seemingly impractical. One thing that you would definitely enjoy is counting the number of times the phrase “hathi, ghoda, wazir, pyada” is repeated. I’m definitely sure it surpasses “zara zara” in the song “zara zara” from movie Run. Blah blah blah... Cutting to the chase, the only thing anyone must go and watch this movie is for the steroid bulged, correctly photoshopped and rightly blackened biceps/triceps or if you are a die-hard HR/TS fan. Direction is loose, acting lacks determination, VFX are unnecessary and there’s no storyline. My Ratings: 0.5/5 Ciao

My Ratings: 8.5/10 A Phantom production, Anurag Kashyap, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Radhika Apte and Saif ali Khan. Well I guess, that’s all we need to create something out of the box. Sacred Games turns out to be a box which unleashes itself in pieces. Spoiler Alert! A story of an underworld mafia trying to seek peace, a honest cop fighting to prove his presence, RAW agent defying all the odds and the zest to love the city - MUMBAI. Story opens up with Underworld don killing himself giving a tip to a policeman who starts his life on a reverberating case, which he isn’t in charge of. Slowly, life story of mafia is unveiled as the policeman and raw agent tries to solve the mystery of something terrible being planned for the city by the end of the month. Same old plot though, but Nawazuddin, Radhika Apte steal the show. Nawazuddin shows his character by putting himself in all kinds of possible roles. A gangster playing God or a guilty in the cell, works both ways. Again not to mention a brief character of Katekar a constable from the office adds up very strong perspective. Saif, still feel needs a lot of work before he pulls off something like Sartaj singh. Direction, plots, cinematography is amazing although many of screenshots remind you of Game of Thrones. Background score even look like you have turned on GOT plotting scenes. Technicality of the scenes have been awesome portraying finest of the details. In all, it’s something that would delight a Hollywood fan trying to see such thing pulled off in rigorous style in Bollywood. Must watch for all the Nawazuddin fans though. Cheers, Pratik
