Saw "Dhadak2" and I am compelled to say, if any remake of any movie is to be made, then this is how it should be done. Of course they have changed a few things because the backdrop of the story has been changed but the implementation & the whole feel of the movie was so perfect. I had already seen "Pariyaram Perumal" so I knew the basic premise of the movie "Dhadak2" still, it kept me glued & anxious, to see how the story unfolds. Yes of course, the original was absolutely mindblowing & the picturisation of it was very realistic & hitting unlike "Dhadak2" But still the movie "Dhadak2" was able to showcase what it was supposed to with as much conviction. It was raw, emotional & honest to social issues & it's difficulties that are so prevalent, that we just can't ignore it. Cinematography leaves u stunned & shaken at various scenes. Kudos to the director Sazia Iqbal for making it as realistic as she was allowed to make it to be. Can't speak enough for the acting of Siddhant Chaturvedi & Tripti Dimri Happy for her that she got the chance to showcase her acting prowess & not just be sexy hot bod. Thank god none of the nepokids were enrolled for either roles. Both Siddhant Chaturvedi & Tripti Dimri have lived the role & shone beautifully. The angst of the character that they both have performed has reached the audience to make them think about it or have a conversation about it.

All my apprehensions regarding the movie "Saiyaara" are put to rest. All those viral reels on Social Media are debunked now. Those cringe reels unnecessarily took away the beauty of this movie. Ignore those ridiculous reels made by influencers to garner the engagements & the imaginary trolls created by them, again for the same. The movie is genuinely very good & worth a watch for people of all age groups. Social Media is putting it wrongly, when it says that the age group of 35-40+, are giving a miss to the movie "Saiyaara" It is for all age groups, who want to see a good love story & are ready to appreciate good writing, good screenplay, fantastic music & on upon that good performance by actors. Ahan Pandey has shone like a bright star as Krish Kapur. His performance has left genZ in awe of him & rightly so. He has given full reasons to be adored by younger gen and to be made as their next hero to be looked up to. Aneet Padda has also done very well as Vaani Batra & she is exceptionally pretty to look at. Though she lacked, at few intense scenes, but she has a promise in her. Her dialogue delivery is good or say rather much better than any other new comers. One more banger movie from Mohit Suri which will stay with the public, with younger gen and with movie lovers too. The music of "Saiyaara" will remain with us for a long time to come, especially the title track & Barbaad track. Thanks to all those, who urged me to go & see the movie in theatre, irrespective of those viral reels & reviews prevalent on SM platforms. Go and have a watch, u won't regret even ainute spent.

Finally been to theatre to watch Metro In Dino. I was kind of a little bit unsatisfied with the movie. I was expecting something much more from the movie, due to the earlier part, but it gave only clichés & nothing else. I get it that I shouldn't compare it with the older movie, Life In A Metro, cause both are different, but I just can't help doing it. Yes, of course the movie was good, in bits & pieces, but it lacked a hell lot in various ways. Yes, of course all the story narrated was beautifully woven but the impact was lost somewhere in execution. The movie was full of cliché twists & turns which made it too stereotypical. Like the need to reinvent urself or ur relationship doesn't require u to have an affair & also u don't need an opposite gender to make u reinvent u. Even though the movie was a bit too long, it felt that the stories were wrapped up haphazardly, without giving closure to issues amongst the characters. Frequent appearances of the singing band, looked quite misplaced & forced, in spite of it being similar in both new & old movie. Here in this movie it didn't gel with the ongoing scene. Having said that, still, all the stories were quite heartwarming & I quite liked the acting of each actor. Special mention to Konkona Sen & great Pankaj Tripathi for bringing the fun part in the movie and looking so damn beautiful in each scene. I liked Adiya Roy Kapoor after many yrs, in this movie. People trolled Sara Ali Khan for this movie but I liked her depiction of a confused modern girl. Somehow she fitted the role and thankfully she didn't do any overacting in this😂 The story of Fatima Sana Shaikh & Ali Fazal was good but somehow it lacked in delivering its full impact. Maybe because of it being over emotional storyline or too cliché happeneongs in it. Acting of both were good but the story got jumbeled up in its own weave. My heart was at the story of Neena Gupta & Anupam Kher. Not only due to it having an older love lost story but due to the depiction of Neena Gupta's character & her meed to be free from her shackels of responsibilities. Well etched role and played well too by both the artist. I also liked those musical dialogues cum songs, in between the story, to depict the situations & take the story forward. Overall, even though it wasn't what I expected it to be, still, it was a good watch, in recent times. My suggestion, if you haven't seen the movie "Metro In Dino" as yet, then you may wait for it to come on OTT to watch. You arent missing much of a theatre watching experience for this movie. Thanks.

Watched "Chamkila" & I can say only one thing.. THIS IS CALLED A CINEMA.. After such a long long time I have seen a movie which has moved me to no end.. to no end. Imtiaz Ali u have done a splendid work in this & only u could have done this & I'm being truthfully honest abt it. Though I am saddened by seeing the end of "Chamkila" but at the same time elated by the way this movie is made. Dialogues, screen play, transitions, music & what not, everything is dealt beautifully. Diljit Dosanjh is one of the finest actor we have. He has absolutely nailed the performance. It's just beyond par excellence👏💯 In the movie Diljit Dosanjh is Chamkila & Chamkila is Diljit. There couldn't have been anyone else to play this role, Diljit literally lived this role. The face of Chamkila enacted by him is running in front of my eyes. One incident, which happened with me, truly justifies how his performence in the movie has affected us. After getting moved by Diljit's performance my husband started reading about him on Google. There he got to know that he has an obsession of collecting shoes. While discussing about it with me my husband said I understand why he collects shoes, cause he was a cha**ar (shoe maker) na, and he suddenly realised that he was talking about Diljit's obsession not Chamkila's. One literally can't differentiate between who is Chamkila and who is Diljit. I am sorry for not talking about other actors too. Yes all of them have done a splendid job but I just can't stop talking about Diljit. It's a must watch. It's a masterpiece. One regret that it didn't see the theatre. It should have. It deserved a theatrical release.
