It starts off like typical formulaic Bollywood potboiler of hero, girl, villain father , affair, forced arranged marriage with nach-gaana until it all happens so suddenly. The narrative is compelling and you actually begin really enjoying each moment even though you are sitting on the edge of your sofa and have stop ped eating your pop corn..A must see for those who believe in violence and anarchy and believe that the governing circumstances do justify it's deployment..it's obviously inspired by the true life incident of Bikram Shrestha of the famous Gurkha regiment in 2010.

Thought provoking narratives from the best of Malayalam cinema. Themed on 'When love calls' ... and 'how differently fated branches dwell'; and when we thankfully realize that 'what fits you need not suit you 🔁' ; and that historical lies and redacted truths are prognostic phases of the same ailment; and gratefully notice that 'even heaven must wait'; and how we misconstrue 'value and price' to mean the same thing; and relish the truth that whilst reality can be compelling, it Is merely an illusion - albeit a persistent one ..

Visually engaging.. Good script.. Great screen play.. Music... Attractive and apt cast.. Poor characterization, totally disloyal narrative and lame and cliched plot...Is air ✈️️ combat training, however, so cavalier.?. Are these the qualities of a Fighter pilot 👨‍✈️️, When you're up in the air facing SAMs' and put putting around in outdated Sukhoi and head to head with F-16s' what gives the archaic former an edge in combat.? . Air combat is often about the extraordinary payload, ❄ enormous speed, multi dimensionsl vectors manouveribilty of an aircraft while facing missiles... Also a good fighter pilot has physical capabilities that can endure reverse 9G gravitational forces or 9G plus endurance capabilities. The kind of physical training in air combat is unbelievable. Also they have in born situational intelligence. Here the pilots Air Dragons) are drinking, clubbing, eating carbs not an epitome of a Fighter pilot . . I think the souls of a hundred fighter pilots who died in real air combat action during war must be feeling bad to see such a climsy depiction of air combat.

You will experience a long deserved catharsis in the first 30 minutes of the movie and I personallly empathized and unconcionably relished the violence and some of the misogynistic lines. Strangely, I even shamelessly laughed out loud at some of the crude misogyny. But when the governing circumstances shift critically the central character is forced to shift to top Gear and retaliate and realize his full potential to unleash violence of the third kind. The 🍿 movie has remarkable moments as Ranbhir Kapoor steps into his mastery as an actor. The interplay between each of the characters were unbelievable yet so credible. Is vengeance so feasible? Ranbir Singh is incredible😍 Rashmika is credible Anil Kapoor a delight to watch Bobby is scary. . Tripti Dimri was delectably divine. Outstanding background. Mind blowing songs and sequences. See it on the big screen.

You must UNREAD and erase all Archie Comics to really enjoy this flick. It's an out and out experimental movie and very very bold one at that. The set design was amazing and captured the make believe world of Riverdale. The outfits worn were apt and were candid, and, yet fit each occasion. Outstanding art direction and screenplay. Great choreography. The characterisation of each character was crafty and very enduring. Watch it for fun. Great to get a perspective of ole schools and the era that followed independence.

The most fictitious, fake, foolish and frivolous story ever made in Malayalam cinema. The governing circumstances in the story are vague, it took me a while to gather the premise, the deciding character, the real conflict faced by each character and the ultimate goal. Is this movie about doomed marriage, unfaithful spouses, overbearing patriarchy, political posturing, coming of age, storming the citadel, the march of history, dialectical narratives ? You will come out despairing with more and more questions slapping your head with your hands. It's a classic illustration of "How to waste sheer acting talent and overshoot a simplistic legal situation and then hijack a good societal narrative with a cheap communist ideology.. Ugh!

To me Ishq is lawlessness accompanied by bigoted and narrow minded public perceptions about healthy societal relationships and it's inevitable prognosis towards anarchydom. To me Ishq illustrates accurately, how the dices continue to be heavily loaded against women and all those people who genuinely care for HER and how they are vulnerable and collectively exploited, violently outraged and ruthlessly judged by a society infested by perverts. All this happen, notwithstanding so many (unenforceable) laws that are intended to secure and protect a woman's modesty and citizens fundamental rights in general. A natural fall out of lawlessness in any democracy is the prevalence of one unwritten "law" : "Might is right!" Women and those men who keenly fight for their well being, safety or modesty (their male friends, husband, brothers, father amongst others) jointly and equally bear and share the brunt of such systemic tyranny. In my humble view, Ishq is not really about toxic masculinity or about how men are raised and how they see the world, and manner in which men need to see themselves in order to presumably survive as men. Ishq transposed me to those terrible times and similar situations in my life that are all too familiar; where I was forced to believe that there is no right move, and consequences are severely onerous; akin to a rigged contest where in the words of Abba, "the winner takes it all , and the loser stands to fall." The characters in Ishq are good-natured lovers with a clear thought and intent to marry in the near future and how they become a prey to the worst kind of moral policing by pervs. This is not one of those typical Indian films that begin with a woman's sexual assault and end with a man's satisfying thirst for revenge. Here, both parties equally suffer (in their own way). What is the kind of justice you can seek against rogues (these days) where there is total lawlessness?? .At no point did I feel this style of pursuit of justice to be a typical instance of "two wrongs making a right". A man's pursuit of justice in present times, can be misconstrued easily by women who tend to operate well in the grey and are ready and willing to compromise under the popular adage "be ready to lose a battle to win a war". In my view, Men need to get it into their thicker skulls that liberated woman hardly belong to anyone much less any man? The writing on the wall is clear. Don't try too hard to secure or protect such a woman. To those liberated women who don't care about the men who worry for them and try and fend and protect them. Don't worry! Chivalry is dead! Stay safe 🙏 and count your blessings.

When First Citizen Shanti Bhushan's daughter makes a law series on Amazon with extensive footages of the unseen corridors of the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India, I got drawn to watching. I was expecting some major issues of national or constitutional importance to get depicted. I watched four episodes out of loyalty and collegiality to a senior lawyer of the SC Bar. I was shocked to find each of the four episodes to be grossly misleading and misconceived. The first episode that dealt with rape and sexual harrasment in Bollywood was ill conceived. The court scenes were a gross misrepresentation of what really happens in Courts. The second episode about a youth commiitting a heinous crime after being inspired by a video game and how the law dealt with him was blatantly wrong too. The 3rd episode about misuse and abuse of ground water by a Cola company was also wrongful depiction . The fourth episode about unlawful termination and victimization was ok. But overall, the series is misrepresentation to the core. Watch it at your own peril.

Mani Ratnam & Company do great service to the Tamil Movie Industry during these COVID 19 times. His Tamil-Brahmin wife will be so flattered. His late father and ancestors will bless him from above and be proud that their son documents such rare insights into Tambrahm lifestyles and preferences. Dog lovers and Humane Societies will be proud to see his team's cruel sense of humour in making a hapless and innocent Dog Dive into a sever pond! After seeing two episodes, I did not have the courage to watch the remaining seven rasas since there was so much of bludgeoning sequences and violence illustrated.
