The Uncalled Chemistry! Supposedly the comeback movie for both Akshay and Tiger. Can this movie make a difference?! The Good - - The Concept; it's fresh, pretty new and nothing like yet shown in the Indian cinema. The Action; Ali Abbas Zafar brings back some very good action scenes to the big screen and it is definitely remarkable. The songs; they are good with a blend of various singers in most of the tracks. The Villain's story arc; feels very reasonable on why the villain i.e. Prithviraj is how he is in the movie, pretty reasonable. The Bad - - The Chemistry between the two lead; who's idea was it to cast Akshay and TIger together, they are total misfits and totally mismatched. Where one feels to be made for action and dance, the other feels to be made for comedic timings and drama, you can guess which one is which. This was a very bad matchup. The Acting; or should I say the overacting. Mostly by Alaya F, who I know is a very talented actor, but in this movie she feels very cringey with her loud and annoying act. Manushi Chhillar has a lot to improve in her acting skills, which is just good for considering her as a debutant. The songs; they are good but definitely a lot unnecessary in the movie. The story; despite having a good concept, the movie fails to execute the story in a proper way. The story gets predictable in most of the major portions. A time even comes when it feels like the villain actually has the valid point than the protagonists. Ronit Roy; feels pretty useless in the movie. Final Words - Avoidable! The movie doesn't bore you throughout it's run but not one that you should consider needs to be watched. 2/5

Marvel is back! Deadpool returns to complete his trilogy and brings along with him the iconic Wolverine! The Good - - Fan service! Total fan service with the special cameos which are numerous and provide a good required boost to the movie. The Plot - the movie has been created as a tribute for the old 20th Century Fox X-Men Saga and is a checkpoint established for the upcoming Marvel projects such as Blade and many others, no spoilers. The story - which aligns perfectly with whatever Marvel has showcased to us up until now, from Loki to Avengers to X-Men to anything that remains, the movie has tried to answer a lot of the bottlenecked questions. The Music. The Chemistry between Deadpool and Wolverine, perfect screen time has been given to both the characters, justifying the title. Many satisfying nostalgic moments. The Bad - - Not much but comparable to Marvel's past works maybe not the total best. Maybe, Endgame and No Way Home could be a bit step ahead. The climax also felt a bit lackluster and the Deadpool corps felt unnecessary, it felt just as if to introduce to the MCU that such a thing also exists. Final Words - WATCH IT! If you are a Marvel Fan, definitely watch it. A lot of things add up from this story line, a lot of things in the MCU can make sense from this movie here on forth. Recommended to watch the previous movies and web series from Marvel such as Loki, or the Avengers Saga, for better understanding if you haven't yet. 3.5/5

Lights! Camera!! Behind The Scenes!!! Karan Johar debuts into the OTT platform through this web series with a meticulously different genre than what he has yet offered with his all new Dharmatic Entertainment Production house. The Good - - The uniqueness of the story. Johar plans to address all the problems in the Bollywood industry, the inside story which an audience generally doesn't see, the paparazzi and all of the issues related alongside it. And the story is well-written indeed. The pace of the story is well maintained. The actors have put a good effort in what they have been offered. A lot that goes on behind the spotlight is showcased exquisitely. The music is well directed. The show doesn't bore you. It has its twists and turns which is also delivered in a proper manner. The character development also has progressed smoothly throughout the series. The Bad - Major bad is that "Why" is I wanna know that this series was released in 2 parts, 1 in March and the other in July. When the first season only has 7 episodes, the question is who's idea was it to make this a 2 parter. If they really wanted to experiment on it, they could have had an every weekend 1 episode release trial rather than this. The other thing is that this series might not be for everyone. Not that it's a bad thing but not everyone will like the genre that this series is developed in. The Bollywood drama portrayal might not be as interesting to some audience. The climax - somehow i felt that there was a certain rush towards the conclusion of the series. I felt that it could have used at least 1 more episode. Final Words - It's worth a watch! Now that all the episodes are available, feel free to binge watch it if interested. It won't bore you whatsoever throughout its run. 3.5/5

A decent entertainer! From the makers of Good Newwz, with high expectations bring up an even weirder phenomenon in the form of heteropaternal superfecundation. The Good - - The story is good and the total portrayal format in how the movie has been executed is quite remarkable. The movie doesn't bore throughout its run. Vicky Kaushal is remarkable. The songs feel properly placed along with the background music which is even better in situations. The Bad - - Comparative analysis is definitely going to take place with this movie relating it to Good Newwz and no, Good Newwz feels better than this. It seems to fail to connect the audience with the characters despite the conditions that they are presented in. Triptii is just there in the movie to feast the eye and casts no impact. Ammy Virk's character development feels to be lacking and overshadowed by the other two despite them being shown as equals in all the promotional events. Despite being of the comedy genre, the movie lacks the comedy aspects and feels to be forcefully trying to make you laugh. I was kinda disappointed as I was expecting Neha Dhupia in the movie to say "It's her choice!" in any scene but oh well! And finally the climax, which feels to be rather underwhelming. Final words - - It's a one time watch. Watch it if you are a Vicky Kaushal fan. The guy puts in all the effort that he can. Also the movie is not that explicit as expected so might give it a try. 3/5

Pretty Cliche! "Crew" is a pretty simple movie with nothing much to provide. it feels overrated that i have heard so much about the movie but the movie is so simple and underwhelming. The Good - The music is very good along with the songs. Also would like to call it an honorable mention for the simplicity of the movie. The movie is only 2 hours long and doesn't bore you whatsoever. The Bad - The movie is just overhyped. Even the cast feels cringey. Kriti feels like she is trying too hard to be funny, Kareena has a character that is all about exposing her assets in almost all of the scenes, Tabu is relatively okay compared to the others, Kapil is barely in the movie, Diljit doesn't cast any impact to the movie. The story itself is quite cringey and simple and doesn't offer much. Final Words - For a comedy movie, I really didn't find any scenes to be that funny, rather found the girls act to be quite annoying. It doesn't bore you however so that's a plus. The movie is avoidable. 2.5/5

Terror Returns! Godzilla Minus One presents the menacing monster in its prime monstrosity back in the day when Godzilla was actually a terrorizing monster rather than a pet like commercialized figure like in the current movies. Godzilla Minus One to me feels a bit tad much of Japanese. I mean it has its overreactive act and all by the characters. this feels like the movie does have more drama than more of Godzilla. The movie starts to bore when Godzilla doesn't appear on the big screen. But when Godzilla does appear, it pumps your adrenaline to a whole another level. The threat that the actors have faced, shown in the movie is really remarkable. I was about to just give the movie a 2.5 but the final 30 minutes of the movie totally stood up for me. The final planning, the execution, the acting, the music, everything in the final 30 minutes is just perfectly executed. The movie as a whole is may be just a one time watch but the final 30 minutes is a definite must watch. 3.5/5

Thrills with Plotholes! The movie lives totally up to its name. Farrey which is "cheat" in Hindi as is said in the movie totally revolves around a group of youngsters attempting to cheat in their exams in the most absurd way that is possible for them. In these attempts what happens to them, do they get caught, do they successfully learn their lessons or are they punished is the story of Farrey. Farrey certainly has its thrills specially in the exams part. It totally had me gripped on my seat during these times. It totally sticks to its name. But however i felt that the movie focuses solely on a certain character so much that it forgets to address the other characters that are also in the movie. Especially the character of Akash in the movie who is totally dumped in the latter end of the movie. It has its flaws and it feels like this would have been good if it were a series rather than a movie. If it were a series, at least all the characters could have set their stories properly in at least one episode dedicated to them. This is where it feels like the creators could have done something better. Other than this, the movie is good for a one time watch. 2.75/5

This is a perfect example of a stupid movie. "Hello Charlie" is however funny but just stupid. All the funny parts in the movie are from Jacky Shroff who actually makes it up for the movie to be at least tolerable and lives up to the comedy genre. The main lead of the movie is cringeworthy and given such a script that is plain annoying to watch. The first half of the movie is fast-paced and is not boring however cringeworthy it may be. The second half however drags and feels lengthy. The climax is a mess and totally pathetic. The songs which come in the movie are totally not required and just make the movie boring although the songs are pretty average. Rajpal Yadav is a talent who has just been wasted in this movie. I would consider this movie to be nothing more than a time-pass movie. 2/5

"Radhe" is a typical Salman Khan movie. It's not that good but it's not that bad either. The movie is short and fast-paced unlike other Salman Khan movies. You will not be bored throughout the movie. However, the movie still does not have the factor required for a good movie. The dialogues are wacky, scenes are unreal and illogical, also cringeworthy at some points. The climax also feels rushed and does not leave much of an impact. The movie has tried to convey a good message but still doesn't help to make it a worthy movie. The action scenes are the ones which can be considered as somewhat good. Disha Patani has nothing to do in the movie but an eye candy. Randeep Hooda is good as usual and Salman Khan is himself as in any other movie. The movie may not be that good but it will also not bore the audience. It is a crowd-pleaser. 2/5
