Stree2 is good, but nowhere compared to the 1st version. Except 2-3 parts the movie isn’t much scary. While the storyline is fantastic some of the elements threw me off. Akshay Kumar’s cameo was a meh, Bhediya entry was also another kuch-bhi moment, & the fact that Vicky’s friends were merely observants rather than fighting the evil together made the climax boring & lacked punch. The songs are nice, the acting of all good albeit few unfunny comic efforts. Again, I felt the movie was stretched with some unwanted parts, a decent one time watch.

This is just not a great movie. It’s beautiful, poetry gleaming from each scene, and the simple yet powerful love Pakhi & Varun shower on the other… one of the finest Bollywood movie I’ve watched. The portrayal, the acting by each character is laudable especially that of Sonakshi Sinha, by far her best. The cinematography is something that just keeps you binding; from the dusty, colorful village setting of West Bengal to a sombre, greyish second half in Dalhousie reflecting the depressing, sad tone everything is spot on. This movie is not for those that love fast paced, ‘masala’ driven energetic scenes. This ones for those who want to connect with each frame without worrying for the pace or climax. The movie just slowly grows on you leaving you teary eyed yet somewhat happy with the ending. Hats off to Amit Trivedi for composing one of the finest songs and background score, it just fits with the entire movie like a glove to a hand. Wouldn’t be an understatement if Lootera was sent as the official entry to the Oscars, its a masterpiece.

I never get teary for any sort of movie I watch. But this one hit right at the spot, & eyes welled up no sooner. Fantastic movie & greatly depicts why a dog is a man's best friend as well as we don't deserve dogs. The movie is very simple, the actors have done a wonderful job in leaving an impact without being loud. The fact that I could immediately relate & imagine the actual story left a even bigger mark. Thank you Hachi, you were a good boy!

I watched a movie, after a long time. And just like the name #Hridayam made a place in the heart. A gem of a movie, fantastic acting by Pranav Mohanlal. Its like the directors of #HappyDays & #Premam joined hands. A simple yet a soothing & powerful story. #Malayalam movies just don't disappoint. And being self a passout of 2010 it was like seeing my good old days. The subtle smiles of content on Arun's face, the transition from a boy to a man was all to be seen. And the music score was terrific esp #PuthiyoruLokam.

#Thupparivaalan is an amazing, brilliant movie with the most comical of action scenes. In fact the plot was genius if not for the unwarranted funny action plots where Kani rolls up into Sherlock, Master Shifu, Dexter, & Rajanikanth all rolled into one. All in fantastic Tamil flick and storyline, and a recommended one. I still can’t get over the fight sequence where Kani takes on a host of ‘Chinese’ and jacks em all up. The ending was defo the cherry on top; Kani keeps landing punches on the villain while his legs are tied, & even does few pushups while the bad guy recovers from the blows lmaoooo. All this while Mano, our hero’s accomplice plays the harmonica to give the creepy end moments 🤣🤣 😂

Pannaiyarum Padminiyum is such a warm, feel good movie with storyline simple and close to heart. The first car in any family is always special, and this lovely Tamil flick portrays the same elegantly

Yet again #JaiBhim shows why the South movie industry is still better and far off then any other movie industry in the country, esp Tamil and Malayalam. One of the finest movies I’ve watched in recent times, a hard hitting reality and introspection to the caste problem that continues to grapple and dominate many villages in India. The entire cast made amazing contributions in their respective roles, and the fact that the movie is based on real life incident and custodial death rattles the topic of police high-handedness yet again. Gripping watch

#MysticRiver is not just any crime thriller. Nope,its not even meant to be. It’s all about how friends in diff spheres of lives are connected and how one incident turned em into each other, coz we at the end of the day we all care abt our families, rite? Sean Penn was incredible, this guy befits more like a gang or underworld leader

#SarpattaParambarai's plot is nothing new; a sports story revolving around a upcoming enthusiast and making his way to glory. What's defo unique and gripping is the storytelling; raw, narrating the ups & lows of Kabilan, and the continuous hatred and rivalry that makes the plot all the more entertaining. The boxing scenes looks unrealistic, although enough to excite a buff. All in all makes for an excellent weekend binge, though at almost 3 hours the movie is lengthy. Arya’s acting is top notch P.S. am I the only one who found ‘Dancing Rose’ more entertaining than Vembuli?

Just watched #TheReport on @PrimeVideoIN and I’m as much as stunned by the corruption and gasping at the level the CIA went with their EIT ‘program’ I also appreciate how as a democracy there are people who are there to withhold it, including in the govt. Sadly, that also forces me to draw comparisons with our own nation, and draws a sad picture of how hollow and behind our so called transparency and accountability is lagging and missing in our own elected leaders. In fact, had such a scene happened in India I’m confident a certain Dan Jones won’t even get to start off, let alone finish and indict anyone. Such is the corruption and inability in ours
