I for one enjoyed this film. This legit talks of a woman in modern times being catfished by a lying guy and her getting over it. It is inspirational, realistic, and yet funny, witty and emotional! Terrific acting from the ensemble cast, I felt everyone really succumbed in their roles. And yet, I felt that there was something lacking in this film. That extra flavor, that essence of something. But still, a rating of 4/5 would be perfect for this film. A highly recommended film for your weekends. Seriously, you won't even realise where the one and half hour went!

Vidyut Jammwal delivers what he does best, i.e., action, but only better. And with the right mix of drama, suspense, thrill and a pinch of romance, this film should definitely be on your weekend binge-watch list. If every debutant delivered the kind of performance Rukmini did in this film, then we would seriously have some fine artists in the industry. Beautiful and stunning performance from her. Chandan Roy Sanyal delivers a bold yet interesting antagonist. Honestly, he has preserved the thrill of the film. Stunning use of the director's influence on the film by Kanishk Varma. He has not disappointed us in any aspect of the film. And the rest of the crew deserves as much of a praise as the people I mentioned, it's just I want to name so many that it won't be enough because everyone was so much into their roles that it never felt as if I was watching a film, it felt as if I was living it!

When Chetan Bhagat writes, the depth of the words tells a story beyond the horizons of any normal human beings' understanding. Firstly, I would like to say that I saw reviews saying that it was a bad attempt by Chetan Bhagat on a murder mystery novel. To them, can you pick up a pen and write a novel? And stop comparing Chetan Bhagat to Agatha Christie of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Everyone knows that they were famous for their crime novels, but Chetan Bhagat specialises in a completely different genre. This is only his second try in this genre, so let him be, and just enjoy the novel and what it gives you! I couldn't keep the book down. I absolutely loved 'The Girl in Room 105' and therefore I guess, I was bound to love this one. The plot is just fabulous, about love that is not yet lived, but is ended! As the story progresses, we learn so much about love, family, friendship, and so much. I have to say, when Ramesh was accused, at first I didn't believe but then I did. I guess, that's why when the final revelation came at the end, it was so darn satisfying. I still feel that the story could have mentioned Zara Lone, from the first book, as it was for her that Keshav and Saurabh discovered their love for detectivity. But apart from that, I couldn't enjoy the story more. And I look forward to reading '400 Days' as soon as possible.

Truly, this has to be one of the best animal movies I have ever seen. The modern day adaptation of the classic novel deserves every bit of praise it gets. I think, in today's world, when animal rights movements are at an all time high, this movie clearly shows what great things we can achieve with just a little bit of love and kindness towards these creatures, who are created from the same flesh, bones and blood as we are. The touching voice of Kate Winslet, and the so purely natural acting by Mackenzie Foy gave this film depth and a life. The other cast was just as good as they could get, and it was an awesome work of direction by Ashley Avis. Honestly, this was the first film of her, and I am heavily inspired to see more from her. In my books, this movie touched my heart and therefore deserves nothing worse than five stars!

Words will fail to describe what I am feeling after watching this masterpiece. This is an emotion of millions of Indians crafted beautifully on the cinematic stage. Ranveer Singh and the crew hit it out of the pavilion, literally, as they portrayed every character with true love, gratitude and respect for them. Deepika played her small role so wonderfully that she just slowly delved into the plot and stole out hearts. This is a beautiful work of craftsmanship by Kabir Khan, as he has amalgamated the truth, with emotion, love, and a little tinge of fiction. It just felt deeply personal to everyone in the theatre, even people who weren't even born at the time of the incident. People were clapping and cheering when the movie barely started and it only increased as the movie progressed. This depicts Indians' love for cricket and everything related, as it is the only thing which brings people together no matter what! Certainly ons of my best films of 2021 and what a great way to end the year. This movie deserves every award and a view by everyone who loves cricket or good cinema. It's worth a watch, and anyone who goes to the theatre is going to cherish every one of those 152 minutes they're going to be there.

The plot is good and sensitive. Honestly, the acting is good, but I kinda didn't like the direction and the showcasing of the film. There was no direct connection between the people shown in the film, and till the end we don't even get to know that all of those people knew each other. Numerous plot holes and cringe-worthy direction. But, the stories were good and heart warming, I'll give it that. The actors could have done better but I'll make it a pass seeing as it is a teen movie. Though I thight Kiernan Shipka and Jacob Batalon deserved more screen time that they got! Overall, an average movie. Only go for it if you are looking for time to kill. And look at other options before going for it!

I saw 'Chhichhore' two times and it caught my heart both the times. Now that Sushant Singh Rajput is no more, I feel like someone stabbed me because I saw this movie last Thursday and three days later, the prolific actor was found dead. I just want to say that this movie was brilliant and we should all watch it in honor of Sushant Singh Rajput as it was the last film that he worked on and could witness it getting released at the Box Office. Thank you, Sushant! RIP

I'll start by saying that it was fun to watch the portrayal of vampires in a different way than what we are used to in the Twilight saga. Amazing performances by Peri Baumeister and Carl Anton Koch. They added invaluable depths into their characters which made it more interesting. Overall, it is a movie about a mother's love for her child. If they were aiming for that area, they succeeded, but I felt it was kind of lacking in the vampire area. But it is almost ignorable due to the powerful performances presented by the cast. This movie deserves a 3.5 rating and is a must-watch if you are into thrillers and movies with violence in them. But otherwise, I wouldn't really recommend it. This movie lacks in its depth, it would lose the audience halfway through the movie. But the climax is at its utter best, that is undeniable.

Let's just say that the idea of extraterrestrial life was properly showcased by an intelligent director. Intelligent life may be microbial but still, that was vividly portrayed in the movie, unlike the other movies of the same genre which attest to aliens to be a highly superior species always. The acting was on-point with good CGI editing. The sound was intensifying but lacked it's identity sometimes. Story was good as described, but the direction could have improved. Although the movie has the ability to keep you on the edge of your seat, I somehow felt that it lacked something somewhere. But, good try for this kind of a portrayal towards aliens, and therefore, I guess a 3.5 would be just fine for this movie. Would recommend if you are looking for good science fiction movies with the alien life.
