Karma Kar

This story completely uncovers the strategy and process behind the historic act of revoking Article 370 in 2019. Beautifully presented as it is well-written and thoroughly researched. The 2.5-hour movie has 6 sequential chapters that trigger the curiosity for each chapter and at the end, are well justified like reading an interesting novel. The story strongly holds it's premise throughout the run time. Briskly paced and crisp story line makes it grasping. About the characters, everyone executed their part very well. Yami Gautam has a strong on screen presence and could win an award for her endeavour. Also, some special mention for the home minister look-alike of Amit Shah (supposed that, A370 as his brainchild) played by Kiran Karmakar was the attention grabber honestly. . The political drama has matching casts for proper delivery and purpose. Hats off to the casting teams. Background scores are unique though could have been extensively used for more dramatic effects. The movie did its job as successfully as the country did by revoking the A370. for the nation's sake. It's high time that people should watch these kinds of research and fact based movies for better awareness and educational purposes rather than just for entertainment which of course they do.. A small amount of money is better invested here. Thanks for this masterpiece and we expect more of such. VERDICTS - THRILLING GRIPPING NATIONALISTIC WELL WRITTEN MUSTWATCH

DDPD WILL STAY FRESH FOR SOME TIME TO COME. LUV Ranjan the writer has a fresh and new approach to a chosen topic of modern day family and relationship issues. Potentially and properly depicted through the creative team and well addressed. The story highlights of a separated and desperate 50 years old family man Ajay Devgan falling in for a girl half of his age as Rakulpreetsingh. Though Rakul seemed to be trying at times to prove her part but quite a delight to watch as a modern day barmaid and well represented herself, defying the typical digger tag. We have seen so many age gap movies but this duo seemed to be compatible ruling out any irony. Maturity and fresh perspective of the movie well carried out by Jimmy shergil, Javed Jaffrey, Alok nath and of course Tabu. They contributed their part equally in comic timings. I have a special mention for Tabu in the next para. Though Rakul always seemed to be the hot and sexy type modern girl but never preceded Tabu for her strong matured and witty character. Ajay Tabu chemistry refreshed the 90s memory (Vijay path etc) Personal take ~~~ I strongly felt for Tabu as a single mother of two adults, breaking down on Ajays shoulder after her sentimental dialouges proving her points validly and at other sequences also, makes her the strongest character. Equally applies to Ajay Devgan as well for his ruined life out of family disturbances. He came home only foor his daughter's wedding, proving his loyalty of fatherhood. Ajay's priceless love for her daughter Over his gf who were of same age is the winning moment. Tabu's matured approach of handling complex situation is impeccable and helped for a satisfying & happy ending. 4.5*****/5*****

Commando 3 - ⭐⭐⭐ The third installment of the commando series is a deal maker in the light of sponsored terror attacks in the country and about the secularism chaos. How the innocent youths are targeted to take the lead for creating nuisances by provoked speech is detailed in the story. Similar genre of movies but Vidyut Jammwal brand actions made it stand apart. Can't say the best but quite engaging till the end where a 33 days mission was undertaken to abort multi location conspired attacks in India, single handedly dealt with succes in the last minute by VJ. The protagonist had a good support of two beautiful agents as Adah Sharma and Angira Dhar both equalling serious actions but the later was too explosive of a super woman. (Could give Tapsee Pannu a tough time ahead). The virtual love triangle had some tickling comic sequence as well. Some serious cross country military drama will keep you on your toes with VJ going the illegal way to save his country The negative role played by Gulshan Devaiyah is surprising as it was quite contrasting to the role he played in the movie Hunter 2015 but well played for the character. Nothing much to expect but some extreme actions in the picturesque London will amaze you though. The movie would have been much more exciting had the scores been a bit finer. The best moral it taught of uniting the Hindus and Muslims as Country men is praiseworthy but one may not agree with the fact that the pahalwans of an akhada were wrongly portrayed in the beginning.

BATLA HOUSE ⭐⭐🌟 *************** Batla house is another series production of Nikhil advani whose movies have got wide acceptance in the nation, as a whole for his patriotic themes and tastes.                       Unravelling a story based on true incidenses is carried out solely by John Ibrahim on screen. He occupies the screen at the length of this movie. The story being a painted one by the media and other anti nationals happens to be interesting and even more as JI's wife working in the media house opposite to her husband who is the operation in charge of the so called "fake encounter" dealing with the 2008 serial bomb blasts case In Delhi. This particular encounter fumed political and judicial drama and controversy in 2009.                                         Beginning of the movie was lacking interest and seemed to be direction less. It was pale and bland until almost the break. However extreme dramatisation of actions with the good support of the thrilling scores, kept the hope afloat.                             Second half was the real part of the movie. All actions, plots and twists were engrossing enough for the real essence and spirit for which it stood. Screenplay and dialogue delivery, at somepoints speaks out loud and the deal of the cinema. NSD teacher Robin Das plays a small but crucial part in a suspense sequence.  Absense of romance and comedy have no impact on this good piece. Dramatic appeal, contents, thrilling scores were synchronized masterfully in the second half. John Ibrahim's effort in carving a niche for himself will never go waste.

Long time after Roar (2014), a good cause movie for the wildlife especially elephants. Directed by Chuck Russel (the scorpion King, the mask, the eraser fame) for the first time in Bollywood is not bad though more was expected. The protagonist Raj Nair played by The extraordinary Vidyut Jammwal electrifies all his scenes with sharp and swift action is a big deal for viewers. Vidyut a modern vet in Mumbai comes to join his father on the ocassion of her mother's tenth death anniversary at the Chandrika forest in Odisha which is an elephant sanctuary run by his father where all the actions begin. Vidyut's character mostly reminds me of Tony Jaa in Tom yum goong with the same mission to save elephants. Packed with actions he was supported by two female debutants (Asha Bhatt and Pooja Sawant who could have worked a bit hard for their first ever movie) against the elephant poachers who smuggle Tusks to foreign mafias. The entire movie will take you into the scenic, beautiful and the vast jungle to soothe your eyes. It is Vidyut who scores best than Atul Kulkarni, Makrand Deshpandey as the best performer. Once again he proved there is a better action hero in the offing. The most interesting scene at the imaginary Gajamani thana of Odisha police was his fight with the corrupt police men while his hand was tied to the table. Most epic and the only comic relief. Vidyut's old dirt bike with plate OR 01 3366 is a part of his super actions. It ends on a good note by a message which says " If we don't buy ivory products then we can save the elephants". Verdicts- Cinematography, Electrifying actions of vidyut, Good cause Go for it if you are a hard core animal lover.

3.5*** ALLADIN MOVIE REVIEW (NON-SPOILER) The same wine in the new bottle with an appealing aroma will be the one-liner. Breaking down to the bright side, the 130 minutes of fun and drama is quite engrossing. Disney never disappoints and this time, Alladin has done decent enough. Mena Massoud (Alladin) the wild card, was the perfect fit and a charming/jolly chap to count upon so as Naomi Scott (Princess Jasmine) who was lively and giving to the entire cinema. Both of them took us to the typical Arabian Era and revisiting the sweet teens' love story was a pure fantasizing affair. Will Smith's effortless actions were invigorating to the genie character being the big boon and the fluent comic timings are equally perfect as well. The victory of good over evil, teenage love, dilemmas, exquisite cinematography, revisiting the ancient Arabian era and culture are the highlights. Much to my surprise like in Indian movies, songs pertaining to the plot and situations have been added like decorative icing on a celebration cake. The soundtracks, scores are amazing and have the biggest impact. Summing up for this Arabian knight story is a beautiful presentation with best castings and good music. Refreshing movie but little editing could have weeded out the flaws. Going out with your girl or family is a good idea. Also, watch out for the animals playing some crucial roles much to the credit of the movie.

WORLD IS SHRINKING BY MCU ********************************* And I mean it, after the much hype of the last and profound mark of avengers series. Such a marvelous and master piece of the great Stan Lee. The entire world is praying RIP. The crackjack of casting, the Iron men and the iron hearts, all of them in this Genre. Pure, raw and clean entertainment. Rare moments when the entire theatre screamed with super excitement. Thanos the antagonist was the tough call for all the super heroes we have seen in our childhood and the contemporary ones. Heartfelt emotions and hair raising actions are exceptional melodramas. It was Chris Hemsworth charging himself up for the dairing fight with Thanos, evoked kind of energy into the spectators. This is one of the many moments I bought a ticket for. Though I was expecting my super hero HULK to play his best part of actions in the final battle, but it went down. Since his right hand was seized by the overpowered gauntlet. Every moment was of sheer excitement and the best treat you can give yourself in 2019. Wish I could see more of the black widow, Scarlett johansson romantics, she was the gap filled with emotions and expectations. Thanks mcu for taking cinematic experience to another level.

Class of 83 (NETFLIX) -> 3.5 A cop action movie, this time involved with the training academy. The story is based on true events it says, back in 1983 and there you see the flash back retro thematic cinematgraphy. Honest officers being a crimp for the politicians and the underworld are usual things where cops are victimised by punshment postings. Same happens here to Bobby Deol being posted as Dean Vijay Singh at a police training academy. Typical cat mouse games, agonies of being dutiful, emotional dramas are the highlights but there is more to it. However an insight to the strenuous law keeping and all the mechanisms are shown in 98 minutes. The Dean selects five of his cadets to be the agents for his personal agenda when they passed out, but things got interestingly messy. the casting for those five characters were properly justified who played their parts through out the story. The movie has to be looked for the new avatar of Bobby Deol who plays his true character perfectly as an old cop.The director Atul Sabharwal as he said in an interview was lookiing for a character of an aged cop and Bobby was looking for something which he had done nothing before, this is where the two ends met perfectly. The background scores were set perfetly with the signature of Viju Shah cohering to the 80's era. He proved himself again that he is the only musician way ahead of his time in a different fashion. From Gupt to Class of 83 is a 23 years of ecstaic journey for both Bobby & Viju Shah, both coming back after a long time. Not much to be expected. Appreciabale efforts of the team for the presentation. It gives us a tour of the cinematic 80's and you will be glued till the end.

Section 375 4.5* most critically acclaimed ..................................................................... Introspection of certain Indian laws like section 375 is well showcased in this movie. The Nirvaya case which shook the entire nation in 2012 is exemplified in the beginning to give it a good start. There are instances of casting couch and other harassment at workplaces. Same goes in section 375 for a costume assistant accusing the director of raping her, in a movie production house, where all the drama begins. The film leads the audience to believe in a one-sided justice delivery to the victim until the defense lawyer Akshay Khanna twisting the plots creating further interest. This is a pure courtroom drama and an intelligent movie. Akshay portrays his character flawlessly as usual but on his opposite Richa Chadha seemed trying to justify her role play. The best thing is that the movie doesn’t take any sides but leaves it all for the audience to make an informed decision. It is not always what we see and believe but precise assimilation of a case would reveal the truth and sometimes quite surprising. This is the case in this movie. Misutilisation of law and provisions is again revealed in the best possible way. No songs and comedy but still stands amidst some really thrilling scores. Kritika Desai after a long time is seen as a judge. Sandhya mridul the old DD girl well accompanied Akshay Khanna as his wife. Rahul Bhatt as the accused Director played his part well. Some scenes seemed to be inevitable for the intensity of the drama it wanted to create (Kids stay away). This genre is beyond any judgment on the parameters of success/ratings/business etc for its educative, informative & awareness factors. This could be the most critically acclaimed movie of this year. A definite watch for all

Gyans from the Mahabharat witfully blended with dialogues are enough to arouse interest and curiosity. Intellectual battle between the lawyer and his client is a small focus. Surprisingly the twist keeps changing for repeated Climax. Desperate Amrita singh has strong emotional inputs.Background score backs it well enough and almost shook the theater. The movie remains watchable till the casting scrolls out all of a sudden.must watch of 2019. 3.8/5 .
