Somya Babel

This star-studded movie is a rollercoaster of explosions, adrenaline, and extreme action scenes. It is perfect if you are in the mood for a fast-paced story packed with high drama. But, if you are hoping for a tightly woven plot and grounded storytelling, you might find yourself rolling your eyes at times. I enjoyed the film's creative nods to the Ramayana—it added a layer of depth. However, the absurdly over-the-top comic scenes and Ranveer Singh’s goofy punchlines occasionally disrupted the flow. For me, it is a one-time-watch in the theatre but avoid it if the action scenes make you dizzy. The film is full of it.

Jigra is distinctly subpar in terms of its storyline and narration. The range of the film is erratic and there is no balance till the end. It would have been more graceful if the film was cut short by 30-40 minutes. The climax is okay-ish yet insipid. Emotional depth ❌ Robust script ❌ Entertainment ❌ Character development ❌ Flawed execution ✔️ Chaotic screenplay ✔️ Cast performance ✔️

Unnecessarily overhyped. TERRIBLE.

The movie began with a bang but then it was overblown till the end to carve the storyline. The Fallout is all about a teenager struggling to deal with a trauma that haunts her for a long time. For me, it was more like a typical teenager movie where the protagonist finds consolation in the same old activities to bypass reality as represented in all the teenage flicks. It might be subjective but I was not moved by the plot because it lacked ingenuity. I believe the movie sought to raise mental health awareness but the way it was portrayed felt like an overly-dragged screenplay. Everyone deals with anxiety and trauma in their ways but emphasizing the same old withdrawal issues did not leave much impression on me. Though, it could be said that this is how a sixteen-year kid might behave but still the narrative lacked realism. The ending was a bit of relief since she was finally able to let it all but sadly that could not justify the entire movie.

You may believe that Delhi-6 fell flat in 2009 but it is so underrated that you will not be able to comprehend the plot until you give your undivided attention to it. If you can read the subtext then only you will unravel the vividness of this film. It is loaded with drama, devotion, chaos, music, and puns but the key element has to be the simplicity of all the characters. Everything is intertwined so well that even the basic things start making sense at the end when we club all the pieces together. Delhi-6 is an allegory of Indian lives that revolve around religion, politics, and superstitions. The use of the metaphors such as Kala Bandar and Masakali along with Ram-Leela playing in the backdrop conforms to how beautifully Bollywood has symbolized everything. The melodic background complements each scene and adds glory to the theme. It might not be a gem but it is worth your time.

🎶 "तू कोई और है जानता है तू सामने इस जहां के इक नक़ाब है तू और है, कोई और है क्यों नहीं वो, जो है" 🎶 While Tara unknowingly helped Ved get a hold of his lost dreams, he was still flabbergasted by the sudden appreciation of his love for her. Ved somehow lost his track to the robotic system and failed to live with the same old gusto. On the other hand, Tara helped him retrieve his passion in the most subtle way of falling for him. There was a moment when Tara and Ved let their head down on the table in the bar with tears in their eyes. That was the moment where the hope was trying to escape from their respective lives but love held everything back for them. Tara met Ved in Corsica and in a mere interaction of seven days she fell for him because she contemplated Ved's personality for real and perceived a ray of hope and life which he failed to observe. A slight change in Ved's routine was unimaginable but his passion and love for Tara made him turn his routine upside-down without any hesitation. Are you Ved? Have you written your master story? Are you hiding your passion behind the veil? Are you running away from your life? These simple questions are still unanswerable to many to us which are absolutely fine. It is exhausting to function in the same system forever without instilling any life in it. It is an arduous work to make everyone accept you for the way you are. It is not a piece of cake for everyone to follow what they actually dreamt of. It is not at all easy but it is definitely worth it. If Ved could make his way out of the darkness so are you. You need to love in order to get loved in return. ❤️❤️❤️ Because at the end of the day: "अंदर से कुछ और ही है हम और बाहर से मजबूर"

~Jab We Met~ To bring two people together who shares nothing in common and are poles apart is always a magical outset towards an enigmatic journey. On one hand, Geet was a bubbly girl and a prattler too who never cared about the attitude of the world. On the other hand, Aditya is someone who was dwelling in the lowest ebb of his life and was almost on the brink of giving it all up. None of them could have ever comprehended the impending adventure which could topple their respective lives forever. They surely had us all at the synchronization of Geet's fervour for life and Aditya's mellow yet nonchalant behaviour. This medley glorified the plot of the movie and the past never carried weight as long as they enjoyed each other's company. It gave them a purpose to wake up with the rays of hope in their eyes. Falling in love is never portended and it can happen at any point in life without any headnotes. Geet stimulated Aditya's spunk when he needed to be supported the most. And, in no time, the situation was transposed when Aditya finally discerned the snappy stance of life and began living each day at the most while Geet sank in her busted dreams as confidence was sucked out of her life. However, their long-lasting chemistry pulled them back together in the vicious adventure of life when they acknowledged their love for each other which appeared after they settled at a great distance. Earlier, Geet yanked him into her crazy life and later on, he did the same to her by glinting the love between them wholly and unknowingly. With her pure heart and gabby spirit and with his majestic charm and matured way towards life, we all inferred the twisted forms of love. It need not be perfect but it ought to be real to yearn for their glimpses and to visualize them to be with us irrespective of the distance even if it means dancing exuberantly in the rain alone if it helps you remember the one you love. It is never too late to admit the sparks of love but never too early to leave the one who is not appreciating the efforts.

You can watch Yashoda if you adore Samantha because you will be seeing an exaggerated plot and unnecessary action shots that were worth the time only because of her. Some scenes were unrealistic and did not make sense but watching this film once is safe for your sanity. However, there are many twists and turn so it will not bore you out for sure. I enjoyed it.

To watch Jhimma is to have an immersive experience where your heart will stay ecstatic till the end. It is a smooth movie that reflects the typical encounters with the dramatic edges of life.

Jhimma is one of the enthralling movies which will make you feel good and leave a satisfactory smile on your face in the end. It is an exemplary portrayal of simplicity without any exaggeration and giddy dramas.
