Why an unexperience director took a legendary franchise to a zero level!! I was very excited for Insidious Chapter: 5 as Insidious franchise known for our childhood nightmares. But guys i really disappoint by this outcome. Positive Points: 1). Eerie atmosphere. 2). Few nostalgic characters. Negative Points: 1. Lack of character development which does not make any impact whether they alive or they will gonna die. 2). Lack of creativity. 3). Old school type horror scenes & jump scare. 4). Too loud bgm. 5). Predictable story. 6). Cinematrography seems like 'Paranormal Activity' show. 7). Poorly executed climax.

Movie- Bholaa. Diractor- Ajay Devgan. Cast- Ajay Devgan, Tabu, Deepak Dobrial, Sanjay Mishra & others Positive Points: 1. Performance- wht to tell about performance. Whether Ajay or Tabu both have powerful screen presence throughout. Sanjay Mishra short but impactful. Special mention DEEPAK DOBRIAL., wht is this man?!! This guy is a comedian turns antagonist & make your jaw drop each & everytime. 2. Action- OMG! This is the reason why we went for Bholaa. The actions were intense & raw with massy flavor. 3. Ton- Not a frame by frame remake of Kaithi. So the production value & the darker ton makes the film more appealing for wider range of mass audience. 4. BGM- My ears are still in the echo mode. How could anybody easily forget (aj phir jeena ki tamanna hei) background score with Trissul fight scene. Not only tht the rest of the movie is so much suitable with the bgm friends you need to be careful of your softdrinks it may fall becoz you can't control your claping. 5. Production value- The movie is obviously a big budget movie with woppping 100crs spent. But they use it very nicely. The jungle, the highway, jail scenes shoot in a large scale, with good cinematography & it is clearly visible despite 80% movie is in the night. Negative Points: 1. The students scenes in jail could have been more character based on proper character development to feel their mental stability. 2. Lack of Sanjay Mishra's screen presence which in bits & pieces the tension & temper of the jail hostage scenes getting dragged. 3. In some portions the vfx is not up to the mark. Specially bones cracking scenes. The bones are looking artificial in many frame. 4. The back story of Bholaa could have been more engaging but ends very quickly without proper conclusion. Overall a decent watch & obviously a must watch for action lovers & Devgan's fans. It is very entertaining movie with massy elements. No harm to watch with small children. MY RATING- 3.5 STARS

Director- Elizabeth Bank. Cast- The film features an ensemble cast that includes Keri Russell, O'Shea Jackson Jr., Christian Convery, Alden Ehrenreich & others. Plote:- A shy black bear consumes 30kgs of Cocaine(drugs) that had been thrown from airoplane by the drugs peddler in order to avoid caught from police. After consuming cocaine the shy bear becomes rage & brutal monster......... If you want to know more watch the movie Positive Aspects- 1. The cgi of the bear is awesome. It doesn't look it has been created through cgi team. 2. The few jump scares & the dark premises in the 1st half is well balanced. 3. The dark comedy flavor in horror film set the mood...but....! Negative Aspects- 1. The second half has no intention to make audience entertain. The movie well enough in the 1st half., don't know why Elizabeth Bank take her audience in grant. Feels like unnecessary stretched & many repetitive scenes (bear chasing, bear chasing, bear chasing). 2. Horrble CGI !! The brutality is at its peak. But the cgi death scenes are so foolish & poor seems like we are watching B-movie or television movie. Elizabeth maam learn something from 'Megan' director with 12 million budget he did a fabulous job., & you have spend 35 million for your bear & forget about your gore scenes totally. Yaakkkk its so poor cgi. 3. The film has good premises & story., but what it lacks is the execution. The treatment of the film is very outdated. Seems like 80's monster film in 21st century. The comedy is forced, absurd humor & overacting ruined the good concept of the film. 4. What are you want to prove from your climax Maam?? Suddenly ends without any proper justification. Infact I felt like Elizabeth maam intentionally end the film.,becoz she already knows her second half will live her audience bore. Final verdict- A good food spoiled.... Because the chef don't know how to serve the dish on plate. My Rating- 2 stars.

Film: Thor Love & Thunder. Director: Taika Waititi. Starring: Chris Hemsworth; Christian Bale; Tessa Thompson; Jaimie Alexander and others. Very genuine ques I want to ask Mr. Waititi does his favorite game is (Temple Run Oz)?As his set is look like heavily inspired by that game 😄😄😄. Dr Strange- Madness of Multiverse had the horror elements, emotions & dark theme which is really a good experiment for a fantasy action film.... But where are those good elements in your Thor4.?! Only comedy..comedy..& comedy.. It is not a action adventure movie, rather it offers comedy adventure genre. Handsome actor Chris Hemsworth make grt abbs & mussels only to do fun on the set. Not a single action scene make you to say 'WOW THAT WAS INTENSE'. Antagonist Christian Bale totally wasted, becoz of lack of character development & paper thin plot. Just imagine not even a 2 hrs film try to cook everything so fast that it seems the cooker itself don't have a good taste in his taste bud. Am sorry to say enter the theatre with a confident Marvel fan., but came oout as a Hungama fan😄😄😄(I also make some comedy don't mind becoz the excessive comedy in a action film makes me laugh unintentionally) ONLY CGI & VFX ARE TOP NOTCH. IN ONE WORD OUTSTANDING. My rating- 2.5/5

Friends don't go through the poor reviews of those bloody haters., as they are belong to Hagna Ranawat fans. They only know how to spread hates. Today morning show I have watched & I have to say it is Alia Bhatt's best performance till date (lft behing Razi & Udta Punjab). If you guys miss this movie in big screen you will surely miss five valuable things- 1. Mid 80's outstanding sets., 2. Alia's spectacular performance., 3 SLB's gripping direction., 4. Dark & creepy atmosphere., 5. BGM. [My Rating- 3.5/5]💥💥❤❤

Movie- Mumbai Saga. Director- Sanjay Gupta. Casts- John Abraham, Emraan Hashmi, Kajal Aggarwal, Prateik Babbar, Mahesh Manjrekar, Amole Gupte, Suniel Shetty & many others.. Story- A common family man turns into ruthless gangster after been tortured by a gang of rowdies... & there is a police inspector who want to encounter that ruthless gangster under the order of politician. In short the story is very familiar to us since from last 10 yrs. Now directly came to the positive & negative aspects of this film POSITIVE ASPECTS: 1. Ensemble cast. 2. John Abraham's personality as a ruthless gangster & his actions. Specially in the scene where John Abraham firing with loaded AK-47 is clap worthy scene. 3. Mahesh Manjrekar's dark acting. 4. BGM.. Actually all gangster movie requires a strong & goosebump BGM. & we can feel that goosebumps partially in this film! 5. Sets... Yah! That's the vital thing for all kinds of gangster films specially if those films are based on Mumbai.. Sanjay Gupta has a well made sets for his Mumbai Saga.. & to make the film too real to look & feel there is several dron shoots which is really left it's impact. 6. Good songs specially Danka Baja. 7. Last but not the least Emraan Hashmi's grand entry... The man who make his entry worthy. No doubt that he himself take the responsibility to his shoulders & make the 2nd half far better than 1st half... NEGATIVE ASPECTS: 1. The first negative ponit is not for the film but for the Censor Board. I want to ask the members of the Board for what reason they give (A) certificate for Mumbai Saga.. There is no nudity at all, there is no strong abusive languages, there is no strong violent, there is no gang rape scene... Then why bloody idiots give this movie (A) certificate. 2. Too much using of Yellow colour in background.. I agree, to feel Mumbai of 80's & 90's Yellow colour plays a vital role. But too much of everything spoils the food. In some place its normal & in some scenes it looks over using. 3. The first half is not so engaging & interesting. Rather it looks over the top. I mean to say that director Sanjay Gupta based his storyline for Mumbai Saga is inspired from 80's & 90's gang war. But how a single man (John) can fight with 20 people in jail!! By trying to make the film mass entertainment Sanjay Gupta forgot that his main plot is based on real gang war & not the film like Satyameva Jayate where a single man fights with 20 people all alone... Give some originality Sir plzz. 4. Lack of charector development among the gangs of Amartya Rao (John & his right hands). 5. Dialogues are good but surely not the CITI MAAR dialogues like Shootout At Wadala. 6. Unnecessarily presence of big actors as a cameo.. Suniel Shetty just have screen time of less than 5 mins, Gulshan Grover has screen time of 7-8 mins. Actress Kajal Aggarwal has nothing to do here, only few dialogues with a beautiful smile & few tears at the end that's it. Final Verdict- Worth to watch specially for 2nd half. No harm to watch with family. One time watchable. & don't expect compact storyline just go for entertainment purpose. My Rating: 3/5

Movie- Roohi Director- Hardik Mehta Cast- Rajkumar Rao, Janvi Kapoor, Varun Sharma & others. Positive aspects: 1. The old childhood stories of 'Churail' is actually the main plot of this film. 2. Good first half. 3. Few funny moments. 4. Performance of Rajkumar Rao(Good) Janvi(Better)shows good amount of energy in songs. 5. BGM. 6. Very good refreshment in chilled cinema hall becoz it is too hot outside! Negative aspects: 1. The vital negative point of this film based in its story.. It seems like Mr Hardik Mehta tries to remake 2018 blockbuster film STREE. Becoz its main core plot is very much relatable to STREE. 2. This film is marketing as a Horror-Comedy genra.. Oh really!! Becoz if the director is trying to remake STREE atleast do a standard remake.. In STREE there is good amount of comedy & jump scare moments too... But where are those elements in Roohi. 3. Varun Sharma's overacting. I agree that he has good comedy timing, but it does not make any sense to make him act over the top. 4. Omg! Songs.... Somehow I save my ears from those ear-bleeding songs bcoz I always carry ear-ph. Guys save your ears too. 4. Really ruined the standard of STREE. 5. Janvi's acting good but she has no dialogues to say. Only two or three times she spoke. 6. Ending is not good at all. First off all movie starts well but as the time passes the movie started decline its interest & somehow came to the second half... & lol thats called a climax!!!! Final Verdict- If are too tired outside then you can spend some money for a chilled cinema hall or otherwise download STREE & enjoy one more time. My Rating- 2/5

Movie name:- Street Dancer 3D Cast:- Varun Dhawan, Shraddha Kapoor, Nora Fathe, Prabhu Deva & others. Director:- Remo D Suza. I am very sorry that I was little late to rate the movie becoz I was engaged with my personal work. Whatever today I watched Street Dancer 3D in South City Mall ( almost houseful ). The buzz of the movie was high as usual I was over excited to experience something different from the movie. But I was completely wrong...!! The big franchise ABCD(Anybody Can Dance) have to stop its run, becoze the movie offers nothing rather than some pathetic love story and unnecessary stretchable. Yah..!! I know that this kind of movie does not follow strict plot but atleast proper direction muct needed to engaged the audience. Except wonderful dancing and some few mind blowing stunts the movie offers no feeling. Varun Dhawan was good not bad, Shraddha Kapoor quite ok but not as a standard of her, Nora Fathe talk less this is a good sign for the movie, Prabhu Deva looks drowsy many times.. Overall if you want to watch Street Dancer then watch for dancing or better to avoid also you will surely not regret. No logic to release this movie in 3D.. My raring:- 2/5

Movie- Batla House Encounter. Cast- John Abraham, Mrunal Thakur, Nora Fatei & others.. Director- Nikkhil Advani. Now what to tell about the movie... We all know that it was based on real story of India's most controversial encounter in Maharashtra by inspector Mohan Chand Sharma.. John Abraham played the role inspector (Mohan Chand Sharma a suspended cop) was perfectly suitable for this kind of movie, new comer Mrunal Thakur not bad, & others nice.... But the main credits goes to the director who glued the audience on the edge of their seats.... The first half was bit slow but took a good turning in the second half & surely it is worth to watch... At least this movie is far & far better than RAW (Romeo Akbar Walter) that was released in the beginning of this year.. I haven't seen Mission Mangal yet so I don't want to insult any movie, but this is really nice and quiet interesting to experience something that is unknown by most of the people... My Rating- 3.5/5.

Movie- Judgementally Hai Kya. Director- Prakash Kovelamudi. Cast- Kangana Ranawat, Rajkumar Rao, Amyra Dustar & others. Review:- People always wait for good thrilling movies. But day by day Bollywood faces terrible situations due to poor films such as, Romeo Akbar Walter, Bharat, Why Cheat India & many other films.. But once a year few films released that really stole audience hearts. Judgementall Hai Kya is one of those good films that engaged the audience from the beginning till the end.. Kangana Ranawat she is a masterpiece of this film her crazy acting gives nice goose bumps throughout the movie, Rajkumar Rao he is good according to new comer, Amyra Dustar role was short but quite nice.. But the main credits goes to the director he has managed the film is very decent manner with a nice flavor of black comedy.. Climax is good but very quickly I expect little more in the climax part... My Rating- 3/5
