#amazonprime It depends on whether you like a slow burn and then your liking of this movie would be decided. It is a snail pace slow burn but a very well carry over concieved script and plot. But this is not so very organic as the first. You are bound to compare both. Don't take me wrong it is one helluva sequel, most sequel dont have half of merits of this but it's what I feel, it isn't as jaw dropping finale as the first one or the parallelly great #Kahaani . You won't have your eyes off even if you think nothing is going on in first half. .... 3.5/5

#Spiral #SamuelLJackson #ChrisRock ... It would have been a good SAW movie if it didn't had Chris Rock as it's lead. 17 years back when the first saw came, it was exemplary and I was taken aback by the mystery, but from there this franchise has always let down. Having said this Chris Rock made things worse here, how could you cast him as the lead, he is too loud and un natural even for non performance movie like this. How much can Samuel L Jackson could bear on his shoulders. Even the mystery can be cracked half way through, and it is cliched. An epic letdown for a thriller and the worst of all Saw movies as it had built up expectations and it didn't deliver a bit. I would rather recommend re-watch the original #Saw , don't waste your time on this. ... 2.5/5

#disneyhotstar #MareOfEasttown #KateWinslet ... As it should be said this is a one woman show and my god what a performance by Winslet. She has had too much feathers on her cap the gold of it being #TheReader but still this will stand out one of the best performance of her career. For the show, it is sensitively made and very well crafted. It never loses it's depth on human behaviour but still manages to thrill you. And thrill is not what you will expect. Its central mystery is engaging enough for the show but it has matching side stories as a bonus good watch for you. Everybody praised Kate Winslet and she is worth it but it would be unjust if #JeanSmart performance was not praised. She is absolutely riveting as Winslet's mom and she is great in every frame and emotion she is in. I don't think there is any other production than #HBO that is producing this quality stuff consistently #Westworld #TheOutsider #Chernobyl and much more. Must Watch Strongly Recommended ... 5/5

#Netflix #Lupin #Season2 #OmarSy ... There are few series that match their first season's briskness and screenplay. This is one. In season 1 when you first see Omar SY he looks like he is in appropriate for the role but as the season one progresses he just blends into the screenplay so good that you cannot imagine anyone else besides him. Such is also the case in season 2 he will blue to your mind with his performance. The icing on the cake is the background score. Terrific. ... 4.5/5

#amazonprime #tumbbad Shocked to see such a rich atmospheric movie sticking to its genre and delivering more than it promises. It is one if the best Indian movie that can be out internationally with hands down. The concept the treatment the atmospherics and the use of limited resources to it's full potential. This movie will be a cult of Indian Cinema and a forever classic in times to come. strangely this is not copied and not even inspired just blatantly original in every way. Just Wow. The icing to cake to this imaginative eerie and stunning film is thr message it carries with it. And one thing more, this movie would be with you long after you've watched this. Great Cinema ! I "Greed" for this type of cinema. ... 5/5

#SonyLIV #TheGirlOnTheTrain As the indian film industry tries to copy this novel and movie from 2016, I watched this American version of it. Though I didn't read the novel but the novel would have been terrific but the film lacks the novelty, for the story the credit couldn't be given to the film makers but the screenplay could have been less convoluted and specific. By the time the mystery unravels you've already guessed it half an hour or more before then it feels like clichéd. Another thing missing was the sense of urgency in this kind of a movie. #EmilyBlunt was superb with her acting prowress and somewhat #rebeccaferguson but others in the cast were lackluster and had brushed of roles. I hope that Indian film Industry doesn't even further degrade this story with more mistreatment. The Girl On The Train was snail paced to tell the whole story. 😂 ... 3/5

Anchored by #TomHanks performance this is weel made period classic with heart in its right place as well as the screenplay. The lack of pace somewhere is made up by the brilliant two set pieces. Reminded me of #TrueGrit . ... 3.5

#Netflix Bagging the #BestFilm and #BestDirector at #criticschoiceawards I was more than compelled to watch this. In these times when the line has been blurred between arthouse and commercial cinema this one hesitates on being viewer friendly. No doubt this is a very well.made movie, technically and performance wise and it is roaring with its satire but something more was needed with it for it to excel. Though it is very much watchable and enjoying and not so self indulgent in itself like #Cargo but I felt it didn't had that to win best picture. ... 3.5/5

#Netflix #kuchbheegealfaz Did you watch #isloveenoughsir ? Did you like it ? If yes here is another recommendation which almost is a feature film poetry and nothing less. Its USP is it's almost no known starcast, the mesmerising vocal chords of its leading man #ZainKhanDurrani and the authentic charm of it's leading lady #GeetanjaliThapa and every other thing in it works from here on to the story, issues and revelations with emotions whisked into it. Cinema is changing and so are it's makers. ये अल्फ़ाज़ समझ मे भी आएंगे और कई दिनों तक आप महसूस करेंगे ! ... 5/5
