Shivam Madaan

Showing brutality on screen is never easy more so when it is about partition. This movie tries to go back and forth between today and 1946 as to the same problems persist today. The story on todays account is too raw, too choppy and with a very abrupt ending. You expect a better ending from a movie that spans up to 3 hours and 25 mins which essentially means you are in theatre for 4 hours. For me this movie did not hold my attention for all the time period, yes the problems of that time and today might be true but my review is about how this was portrayed. I think a better job could have been done, screen time could be under 3 hours and that ending can be written in 10 ways and be better. This is one of the most abrupt ending I have seen for such movies, the thing is when you hold an audience for that long you need to give them closure too. A good ending could have made this movie so much better. when i left the theatre i thought average movie so yeah 2.5 stars, unfortunately there is no option for that and I do not believe it is above average movie so 2 star it is.

If you like musicals this should be a must watch, the movie has a flow, good amount of stories, intertwined yet interesting on each note. You can find fault with the story, not related to the choices they make at times but that's how it is. The movie shows about the sacrifices made in a relationship, also about one has to keep finding love again and again in a relationship. The movie has a huge cast as this is predominantly surrounded around 4 couples and their stories but in background you can see there are more stories going on. I'm not a fan of musicals but this is a sort of movie where it all fit in and the songs were bang on with the story more or less. Pankaj tripathi I felt was underused in this movie which can happen when you have a huge cast. Aditya Roy Kapoor was a fresh breath of air and I wish we will be able to see him again soon in a different role perhaps, definitely wanna see a range of characters from this actor. Pritam, Papon, and Raghav Chaitanya were present as the musical group in the movie, giving us some good songs. Overall a good movie with good songs and actors. This is an easy 4 and hard 3.5 out of 5.

Rarely it happens that you watch a movie and you have tears in eyes and all you feel is disappointed not because of movie but cause of the fact that you weren't able to see this masterpiece on a big screen. Artists in all corners of these worlds creating art is a bigger thing than art itself in someway. And the range of emotions from struggling to make a movie to succeeding at it, from being a strength to each other to fight amongst themselves and a lot more. I'm blessed to see a movie like this in bollywood also blessed to see a relatively new crop of actors getting their jam at it, all beautifully after and portrayed their characters. Happy and sad for shaufiq how it ended, happy for his movie. You'll be left in tears if you appreciate how movies are made, the struggled behind it, and all the struggle of artists in any possible way. Must watch movie, I'll rate it high easy 4.5 and hard 4 out of 5.

If you don't like series with abrupt bad endings, this ain't for you. Okay well this was a 4 star show for me which is gonna be three star show just because of its ending. The ending feels like sitting in a theatre for 2 hours and for the climax a person comes to your seat and hits your face with a pan, doesn't make sense right? Exactly what the ending felt like. Writers made me binge watch the whole 4 seasons just for them to end on such a sad note, not even sad more like disappointing. If you are gonna go down that route at least end it with kendall taking his life because of what shiv did to him, be at least bold with it. The more i write about this the more i wanna go to 2 stars now because the build up was good but it doesn't make sense when you don't build it up to anything. Three rich kids trying to run the company ultimately fails to do it because of a last moment heartfelt change by one of them, make it make sense. I wish tom could have gotten the charge in perhaps some other way. Also wished greg ended better because that was the one character that was beautifully written from start. Alas not everything made beautiful ends beautiful too. If the writers are reading this which obviously I think they won't be :- "FUCK OFF" in logans voice.

Kadaisi vivasayi what a movie One of the few movies yo wouldu have not minded if they were longer, I was consumed from minute one to end. A lot of characters in movie and none of them acted because they were living the characters. From ramaiah to mayandi to the judge to mayandis grandson to the constable and even the guy who was in the lockup with mayandi. This is the kind of content you should feel content with after watching. Vijay on its own had a parallel story going and it never felt like either of stories overpowered each other. To nallandi sir, I haven't seen better acting in a very long time and I have to say that this is art at its best. This movie will keep you glued to the screen for sure. And the songs are beautiful, I have a bad habit of forwarding songs or a some of screenplay when movies are slow burn but i wasnt able to do that because how beautiful the screenplay was, how beautifully this movie was written and how beautifully this movie was acted. I believe I have praised it much and I still feel I have not done enough. This movie is 5/5 and a must watch, I wish I could have seen this movie in theatre and appreciated it there. I'm very late to this movie almost 4 years late to this beautiful art. I also wish I understood tamil so I could have appreciated this movie even better but even with subtitles this movie is a class act and one step above a lot of movies out there.

Half decent movie and i say this because there was potential for this movie to be better with the cast they had. Good songs and the scenes they have set, jordan acted well but again the storyline was half assd, what could have been and what it was. Still a good timepass movie, if you went for it you won't be disappointed but yes you would get out of the movie of it could have been more. I would rate this movie 2.5 hard and soft both.

The story of this movie should be wrapped in half the time this movie is rn, but given this is mission impossible with tom cruise and all the action sequences and everything I can understand this movie being a 2hr movie and all the props to the whole team for all the action sequences but God this movie dragged to oblivion and more. The plane sequence at the end was such a drag that I was actually yawning. There was not really much to the storyline and no twists per se. Acting was medicore at best for everyone. Can't recall one moment in the movie that stood out like damn this is a good twist or this is a good moment In the storyline, not one. Seemed like lazy writing and continuance of mission impossible series, they banked on the series and the movie may even make ton of money and be termed as hit or whatever. But no this is not a hit, this is not a good movie from any angle . This is a soft 2 and hard 1.5 for how long this movie was. Not gonna recommend this to anyone.

Final destination bloodlines:- well well well, I haven't watched a single movie of this franchise before and I went to watch this movie because of the hype and probably the only decent hollywood movie out rn and boy oh boy I wasn't disappointed, good plot, good actors and awesome ways to get killed haha. Cast acted well according to the story, it became a little too obvious by the end that everyone of the family tree line will be killed and was waiting for the siblings to get killed at last, did not disappoint. I have no frame of reference how good or bad this movie was from the previous ones, all i know is i enjoyed watching this one. This is a hard 3, easy 3.5 for me.

Ajay Devgan back with a thriller, seems to have made this genre his forte now. Raid 2, I see this as a step down from raid itself. The movie has decent cast other than that of vaani Kapoor, not that she acted bad, it just never felt like the same movie when she was on the screen, movie would have been same without her. Saurabh Shukla had a limited screen time but always made the most of it, ajay seemed a little lost, i don't know but his eyes seemed too heavy like he wasn't in the mood to make the movie. All in all if you went to the movie, you had a decent timepass movie but if you didn't you are not missing on anything. Would i recommend to watch this movie on ott? If you have way too much time and you like ajay devgan that much go on. I would rate this movie exactly 2.5, hard 2 and soft 3, since google reviews don't have the option for leaving 2.5, I'm giving this a 3 star but believe me you are not missing on anything with this movie.

Emotionally touching movie and one that was much needed I say. Fyi the character of madhavan was not a real character. Glad to see a movie made on aftermath of Jallianwala Bagh and the legality of it , how the case went and how sankran nair went on to fight the case against the crown and win it. Good to see akshay in a well written role and we all know about the range he can portray but i wanna talk about simon day who was acting as Reginald dyer in the movie, what range and what conviction of the role, I was ready to hate the character because of how good he acted. Not that the hatred for dyer wasn't there before. Good to see a movie made about punjab in bollywood but we need one on 1984 now, punjab is a bleeding state of india that doesn't have a lot of eyes on it today. All in all a good movie with a good cast, must watch so that people can be educated or nudged to move on a direction where they educate themselves about the incident of Jallianwala bagh and the ground reality issues that happened.
