NON-SPOILER REVIEW: 3.5 Stars This movie sets the bar for Indian action movies. It was a massive entertainer for sure. Worth the money. I never expected this movie to be a brainy one. I was anticipating some thrilling action scenes, stunts and that was it. After Saaho's bad experience, I had seriously put my bar low for this one. But it proved me wrong. The movie had some seriously well directed high octane action sequences. They were brilliantly shot and executed esp the fist fights and you are sure to enjoy it. It's an action movie. You should expect entertainment from it. And it delivers it all. Only the aircraft scene was a little unrealistic. It was a little disappointing for me. So keep that in mind, that some of the things might seem little unconvincing. Rest everywhere the stunts, visuals, direction and chases were ausm. It was anyways a popcorn entertainer and I enjoyed it a lot. The best part of the movie being that it had a narrow yet a well thought and crisp story line. Some twists were good. The story wasn't too great but whatever it was, it suited the premises of the movie. I am glad that it was not boring at any instant. The biggest drawback of such movies is an illogical lame love story. Luckily, this one was far from all of it. No non-sense love angles. Whatever Romance was shown was justified for a reason. Hrithik was literally on fire. He captivated the whole movie for sure. I can watch this movie solely for his entry scene itself. Superb performances, fabulous locations, mind blowing action, a thin-unconvincing but a well executed story line. Some of the sequences are a little unrealistic towards the climax and might not be liked by some people who prefer classic cinema but given the genre, this movie was full paisa-vasool for sure. For those who expect entertainment and enjoyment you are in for a full on roller coaster ride. SUPER-HIT HAI BOSS.

****A GENUINE REVIEW**** This movie deserves 4 stars. For all the negative reviews given by various movie critics, I think they should watch the scenario of the education system in India. You are sure to experience a lot of goosebumps and emotional surges throughout the movie. You will get teary, giggle at some one liners but in the end you will have a very positive feeling. This is a kind of those feel good movies which you don't want to end. There were a few flaws and unrealistic moments towards the climax which could have been avoided but they are subsided considering the overall premise of the movie Super 30 aims at drawing our attentions to the devastating educational conditions of poor students in our nation. The story is based upon the legendary teacher, Anand Kumar who hails from Bihar and sacrificed a better portion of his life for educating the poor students. Talking about performances, it is a phenomenal watch with outstanding performances by all the artists. I would like to start with Hrithik Roshan's work. People were very critical about the Greek God being cast as a Bihari teacher and I will not refute their concern. Ever since the trailer had shown up, people were commenting about his flawed Bihari accent, Pankaj Tripathi being the apt main lead etc. But to bring down all such concerns, I am happy to say that I was blown away by the performance given by Hrithik Roshan. You might not find resemblance in physique of the two characters but Anand Kumar's persona reverberates through Hrithik's soul throughout the movie. This is what an artist should be like. Despite being from a Non- Bihari descent he really put up some great efforts with an almost perfect show with minimal glitches in his accent at some instants. His character sees a lots of transformations to portray the various phases of Anand's life. To anyone saying that he was flawed or not upto the mark, I completely disagree. He moved out from his ordinary zone to give us an extraordinary performance. The conversations between Anand and his father are a real treat to listen because they do it with such originality and simplicity that you could feel the connect with the characters. All the supporting cast including the 30 kids, Anand's father, brother, mother, Mrunal, Aditya, Pankaj Tripathi and Amit Sadh have done a very commendable job. Pankaj Tripathi acts as a comic relief at many instants and their is no doubt in his acting skills. Though his screen presence was little less as compared to the length of the movie, he manages to steal the stage with his presence. For all those saying that Pankaj Tripathi should have been cast as the main actor, I agree with all of them. But in that case, only 1/10th of the audience would go and watch this film in theaters though everyone would appreciate it even more. So given the circumstances, I will say that Hrithik was perfect at what he was supposed to portray and rest all the actors gave a delightful performance on their levels. Talking about the content of the movie, it covers a lot of troubles that poor students face and portrays it all in a subtle manner. The only problem I think about the movie is with regard to the cinematic liberty to make some modifications to the real story. I have heard that Anand Kumar started giving tuitions in his Ramanujan classes before commencing super 30. There was no mention about it. He charges the students of Ramanujan batches. I am not saying that this is wrong but it should have been covered. Also there was no mention about Abhyanand Sir. I have heard that he played a crucial role in bringing it up till the time both of them split. Apart from that, who taught the kids Chemistry for JEE? These few mentions might have added one more star in my rating. The movie had it;s heart at correct place. An emotional story with an excellent work by HR. This is a must watch movie for all the aspiring students, their parents and all emotional genre lovers.

Aquaman had all the stuff that was needed to elevate the standards of DC movies. You had action, visuals and enjoyment all through the movie. The story was not very different but it was decent enough to let you have a joyful ride for two and a half hours. The team has done a lot of meticulous work to remove all the mistakes that DC had been previously doing. Comic timing, action sequences and visuals are the key takeaways from it. I must say that this is not as much as a magnum that have been released in recent past but it definitely is a milestone for DC movies. Sometimes it's better to enjoy the movie than worrying about DC or marvel wars. This is a sure shot entertaining one with a visual delight in IMAX 3D. I'll go for ***1/2 on 5 stars. Go watch this action Bonanza.

A movie which is only good for entertainment purpose and not to form any opinions about Sanjay dutt. Ranbir Kapoor has done an outstanding job in providing you with top notch entertainment throughout the movie. Apart from that I seriously felt that the script could have been more crisp and overwhelming. Raju hirani hasn't crossed his previous bars set by movies like Munna Bhai, 3 idiots and PK. All the delicate matters of Sanjay dutt's life have been portrayed very casually. Just citing the examples and events from Sanjay dutt's perspective, which in no matter is bad but truly does deviate from the original events to some extent. It is not good to form perceptions based on news, that's what the movie wanted to tell the audience. The newspapers did a lot to enrage public against Sanjay dutt much before the courts did. This is what as a public we must understand. It's not our decision to give an individual the tag of a criminal but it's that of a court. Though the matters are cyclic because in reality the powerful influence.of the dutt family did a lot to elevate his position. Coming out of the theatre some of you might sympathise with his character as well but it cannot be turned down that he has strong underworld links. If you would watch this as an individual movie, you will definitely rejoice Ranbir Kapoor and some comic deliveries in Sanju Baba's accent. Ranbir has given a mind blowing performance. As a movie, it's worth watching. There will be emotional, motivational, tragic and comic moments all delivered to bring out the perfect entertainer but overall it will be not as equal to raju's previous works. The only positive portion about his life was the giving up on drugs after being an addicted substance abuser. Rest all the cases like underworld links, 1993 blasts cannot.be turned down. Since he had underworld connections, he was definitely wary of some of the events at least. Sanju baba is a cool guy in real life but if you have done wRong you cannot be right, however influential you may be. The movie told that he kept the AK-56 for safety purpose. A normal guy would keep a revolver, pistol or a normal rifle, not the war waging AK-56. The movie did not do justice to all the facts. Some portions were true while some were covered to elevate his image with sympathy. Talking about whether one should watch it or not, yes you can watch it if you are planning for an entertaining and enjoyable movie without willing to know the actual story to 100% accuracy.

It is a beautiful movie. The best part is that it is carried out and executed in such a simple manner. I could connect with the characters. Many main stream movie characters are not at all relatable with real life. But the detailing of Lucknow and the other things have been done really well. Nice movie..!!

This is a movie that every Indian must definitely watch. In today's time we forward funny jokes about engineers of India to everyone, but this movie certainly brings out the difficult circumstances that were faced by some of the brightest minds of our nation to carry the most confidential missions of all time. The technical discussions were well framed in the movie and even the Layman could understand that what are they talking about. Obviously, a lot of fiction has been put up in the movie but at no point it fails to deliver a spot on theme and purpose. The main motto of showing the world that how the mission was carried out was well established throughout the movie. You will feel proud to hear terms like IIT, BARC, DRDO, ISRO (ISA in the movie), Indian army and the people associated with these organizations and a minor insight would be provided about the role of these firms in the mission. It will not evolve as a documentary. Around 20-25% of the movie will contain bollywood moments spread sparsely along the length but overall it's impact can be avoided because the execution is good. I was involved throughout the movie and the performances were all spot on. Everyone played their role well and the direction was to the point. The movie did not drag at any moment. My review is "a must watch", both as an entertainer and as an informative narration about our nation's nuclear induction.

(No spoiler review...u can read peacefully till the end) This is from a die hard DC fan who simply adores MCU so much. So m basically a fan of both. Since past few years marvel has been raising the bar with every entry into MCU and I must say that this movie definitely outdid everything. The bars are now all time high. You will get to see very different stuff in this movie. It's not a hero-anti hero war going on. The story was on point and the roles were well segregated. Action and CGIs were top notch. Wakanda war was a show stealer. Captain America's and Thor's proper entry were really whistle hooting moments. There are fun filled moments with good humour and there are moments when ur jaws would remain open to see what's gonna happen now or what just happened. Simultaneous locations and fights going on in different parts of universe and in wakanda and a well carried crossover of avengers with the guardians was creditable. So many characters in front of you and none of them fails to impress you. Doctor strange and Tony had there Tiff going on in some location while the others managing in wakanda and on earthly locations. The ending would be something very different this time and you can expect a cliff hanger which will leave you craving for more. Do wait for post credits scene. You are in for some salvation. The best part was that the motive of Thanos was so well established and his character was so full of conviction,wrath and emotions that he took it to a spell bound scale. This definitely makes hi .one of the best villains ever. Every character had his own adequate share of screenplay with a bit more screen time given to Thor and Thanos but I must say Thor really escalated his true potential in this movie. Overall, this is a fun movie for people of all ages and even if someone has not watched previous parts, he can still enjoy the movie for it's story, action and humour because the story has been well established with everything explained in context. Some parts may appear boring but they were crucial for story development so it can be ignored at such a grand scale. It's time for kids, their parents, their grandparents and other friends and relatives to buckle up and enjoy this roller coaster ride.

It was a simple and nice movie. Everything was likeable and so were the performances. Good execution of this real life story. It was a feel good movie because of the simple characters involved with a nice message.

Regardless of the review, I will watch it tomorrow. It has become a tendency that every DC movie is put on heavy trials for verdict and every Marvel movie is a declared hit before release. I enjoy both equally and Marvel is far more worthy than DCEU in terms of movies, but let's give this one a chance. Avengers had so many predecessors to set up a platform for it. The only drawback which DC might face is lack of character setup due to lesser movies. But considering this movie as a base, the future looks bright for DCEU.
