Animated movie depicts the spirit of scriptures as per ancient religious texts of India about one of the blessed few, It is Prahlad, who has been blessed as one of the few humans despite born in demon clan by supreme lord Vishnu. India's ii most prominent festival called Holi is based upon the story of Prahlad who escaped the demonic Holica, his aunt and his demon father Hiranyakashyap's desires of eliminating a child devotee of supreme lord Vishnu. He has been saved from death multiple times by Lord Vishnu's supernatural intervention, particularly during his father's attempts to kill him, and he ultimately became a king and attained a place in heaven, Vishnu's abode after his death I can give 3 stars because violence {in Sanskrit the term is Veebhats} is so intense at specific scenes that a few decades ago it would have been categorized with "adults only" The readers may exercise discretion to buy or avoid superstitious Narasimha Kavach, spirituality in my opinion has little to do with amulets or rituals.

It is refreshing to watch the transformation of half dead creatures into better human beings especially in the context of the world around us increasingly giving way to supremacists, narcissists, psychopaths!

Despite a bit of pessimist ending , it is a good horror film for the appreciators of spiritual idea of Karma. It is worth watching if the last 1 minutes has an alternate ending, it does not justify the Karma of the female protagonist.

It is psychological horror of the influence of death. The film rotates around the life of Beth,(played by Rebecca Hall) a 40 something teacher who lost her husband recently as he ( Evan Jonigkeit as Owen) shot himself sailing in a boat ; their home is at the banks of an ocean or a river. The protagonist tries her best to resume a normal life, she goes to her workplace, hears a concerned parent that she allotted her son a negative remark in grade assignment, she corrects the situation by striking off D and substituting it with B; the parent is not satisfied with abrupt response ,she (played by Lesley Ann Warren, a seasoned actress) persists, arguing "we all have personal matters to deal with sometimes" to which Beth has to reveal : "my husband shot himself in the head last thursday". After the initial 15 minutes the plot becomes too supernatural to be described in definite terms by a sane person. The movies ends on a hopeful note as Beth manages not to fall into trap of the death angel second time, the first time was during her teen years. The distinct feature of the movie is performance of Rebecca Hall, she is able to act 100% a complicated role that takes the story of death experiences to several interpretations.

Our protagonist is Ten-year-old girl Devon Stockard , she is alone and isolated as the family has recently moved with aspirations of her fairly rich father to become board member of local community. She develops frinedship with a 20 something young man who mows lawns around her neighbourhood, the son of a soldier father, he lives a secluded life in trailer as Trent is Trent is reviled and looked down upon by those he works for. Rather than the neighbourhood, it is the girl's parents including her debauched mother that make her feel like a free witch with test in pagan beings around her. She takes the freedom of urinating on the windshield glass of the car and get it washed with car wiper. The movie runs as psychological drama, the girl is more intelligent than her age, towards the end she save the life of her friend. They end up true and loyal to each other with the following terms:- "we're not friends, we are hunters! so who'se gonna kill the meat!" The movie is not for general audience, it shall be appreciated by a few.

A young woman , January returns to her father, a film producer who recently (re)married to a rich mature woman, we later learn she is a bisexual. January unwillingly sleeps with the stock broker cousin of her step mother, spontaneously falls in love with a prize winning alcoholic novelist of her father's age. The movie depicts the class fellow of January, lively Linda Riggs who gets pretty after cosmetic surgery, she serves to impart the required sense of humour,around 28 minutes she confesses :-"I screwed every man in this organization" When the novelist friend meets January's father, Linda immediately plans to seduce the famous man, January asks her with black humour:-"Is there any man U don't want to get bed with?" The movie takes a tragic turn towards the end, our protagonist loses her father with his death, loses her lover no more willing to carry on with her. She becomes a rich woman by legacy, with an empty life ahead. The movie shall be liked by every one who has read romantic novels during teen years.

Our protagonist Sally is the daughter of such parents that have recently been divorced. Her father is rich but loses substantial money when he decides to remarry with wishes for a son to someone he calls euphemistically, an actress (she insists prostitution a part time job). The mother of Sally is frustrated consequent to divorce after 40 years of married life, she has belief to the extent of superstition in her fortune teller ; all that she wishes is that she is not left alone. The husband of our protagonist is presently a failed fiction author, obsessed with a neighbour student of PHD as she wears red outfit. Sally's wishes for an art gallary of her own remain unfulfilled ;her good for nothing husband gets reinstated as a recognized author by stealing the work of a poker friend under coma. Sally learns eventually that her boss was having an affair with her friend, having suffered in 6 years of married life with a bipolar wife; towards the end of the black comedy her wishes are that instead of her protege it was she that was ripe for an affair. Though the drama shall fail to inspire any ideals, it is ironic that almost all the predictions of a charlatan fortune teller are eventually true.

I have yet to see the first part of the story ; the sequel itself is so engaging that there is no necessity of that. Our protagonist is a teen female who learns that the old man living with her may not directly be her father or grand father or a relative ; the house is attacked by a bunch of criminals ; the Navy veteran blind man attempts his best to resist and when the girl gets kidnapped he rescues her successfully. The girl survives and the last scene where the dog licks the blind man's hand leaves a scope that probably the blind man too. The movie is action packed the dialogues are short and pithy,I recall one:- "War changes us all, No soul returns Holy from it ".

Our protagonist Anna a British student joins a college in Los Angeles, she falls in love with classmate Jacob. She overstays her student visa and doesn't return home to London on schedule. The seemingly minor violation of visa rules gets into a big problem as she is sent back to London at the US airport. The lovebirds get married but the visa complications are not immediately sorted out. The couple have adulterous relationship, Anna with her neighbour, Jacob with his workplace colleague. Eventually the couple are together, more mature but sad, they take a shower together. I recall the eloquent dialogue:- "but once U annoyed them U have to play by the book." The story of foreign exchange British student in the united states is once again performed by talented actress Felicity Jones, she falls in love with her host ,a middle aged music teacher in "Breath In.2013".
