For Hax

In today's woke landscape full of DEI and Toxic Feminism over entertainment and art, one surefire way to not waste your time on a movie is to check if the cast has Rachel Zegler in it.

Straight up: Not for fans of the book. Disney is out ruining all childhood memories.

Quick and short review: A huge fan of The Boys, a Huge fan of the entire concept and I'm finally glad the franchise is making one with college characters. A Huge step up from The Boys which was already perfection! Only 3 episodes in, but I am hoping the series will pick up and round up the story in a more wholesome manner, and actually have stronger character arcs cause they missed that in The Boys but i get as a satire that wasn't their main focus, but this show has so much potential, it's a much watch!

THRILLING. That's literally one word which still struggles to do justice to how awesome the movie was - especially for cricket fans. The movie was very inspiring and each scene was crafted with love to keep your eyes peeled to the screen. You wouldn't even realize for a moment how long the movie is and by the end you'd just WANT it to NOT end. The cameos and clips from real life just ads to the authenticity and nostalgia the movie brings back, and even if you weren't a fan or have much knowledge into the world cup winning India team, as an Indian you can't help feeling proud and inspired. The casting was average- Ranveer Singh plays his part pretty well and resembles Kapil Dev decently but even with some brilliant performances there were a few stragglers here and there and although you could consider that a criticism, the plot and story carried the movie so well its barely noticable. The pacing was flawless and music was just appropriate. I am not going to go into much spoiler but if you are having doubts about the movie you really shouldn't its really memorable. Age rating: It would be a family friendly movie, there is a bit of weight to some scenes and blood here and there but its nothing major. The original couples are shown and it was pretty cool how Deepika Padukone played the role of Kapil Dev's wife, but there wasn't any explicity kissing or anything. The movie stayed true to its focus- the 1983 World Cup where India won. And no, knowing the fact that India won does not diminish the suspense, you still entertain and feel the show in its entirety, its structured really well.

I'll try to be as spoiler free as possible but that takes out most of the movie's content or aspects anyway. SO The movie is amazing as an entertainment film. It gives you nostalgia, comedy, high quality production, action and furthers the direction marvel is heading towards. The movie isn't a cinematic masterpiece nor does it have a solid storyline, but I guess considering the hype behind the third and multiverse spiderman film, it is understandable why marvel would focus on money more than story here. They gave exactly what the fans wanted, and what we usually want is to have a good time with out favourite characters. I do think the ratings are unusually high for this movie though, which is a bit odd but if you're having doubts about watching the film, well don't. Because its worth the watch. But yeah, overall production is spectacular, comedy is gold, and the characters and relationships do kinda develop. The Movie ends opens up marvel to a completely new direction and it's exciting to see what comes next.

Let me start off spoiler-free: So as you probably can tell from the description or something, this story is about a simple villager in India who loves his wife and is kind of a family man. This movie explores the backward parts of the country through his eyes and builds up into a very inspiring story of this one man who was motivated to bring about a great change and awareness into the lives of millions of people. The movie is a little over 2 hours but I can promise you won't be bored for a single minute because every scene is crafted with meaning and you will find yourself VERY emotionally invested. So obviously, not all movies are for everyone probably, but if you are someone into dystopian concepts, romance, inspired stories, and an altogether adventure, pad-man is for you. The acting is brilliant, the cinematography and direction is amazing, the dialogues are scripted so well you can feel every word that is being said. The movie will probably hit harder to those who know about Indian culture a bit more or at least the general stereotypes of how people are super religious and women aren't as free (unlike urban areas) for example. The movie may be about period pads but it isn't graphic and I'd say its for anyone above 13 years of age (because yeah I'm sure many such kids have seen way intimate stuff than what is in the movie). The movie does kind of bother me in some relationship aspects though. Like after finishing the entire movie, you can tell why the script progressed the way it progressed but you may necessarily be satisfied with it (I wasn't) but that could be intentional because you can SEE how it works and it keeps running through your head. With some spoilers now, because this is probably gonna be a rant: Lakshmi's life is really inspiring and with all the hate and disbelief and pain he has been through just to help his wife and women in general, I was bothered by how he ended up going back to the same village and back to the same wife who was too bothered by her public image and ashamed of her husband. Like I said before, it's understandable but at certain points, in the movie, you can see she just wasn't for him. Meanwhile, the introduction of Pari and the romantic relationship that grew up between them was amazingly done and I was rooting for them. The movie could have ventured that root too, and Lakshmi could have visited back to his village (because he had some loyal friends) and cut it off with his wife. Or the movie could not have made Pari a romantic interest but his new best friend which would have worked too. The movie works, but I would recommend you to watch it yourself to decide. It IS worth watching. There is almost negligible violence and profanity and yeah if you're a kinky person there are no sex scenes. There are some romantic scenes to be fair. And I'm gonna come back to how inspiring and emotional the movie is that you have to give it a watch. PS: by emotional, I don't necessarily mean its heartbreaking sad, it could also be happy-sad, but You have to watch it yourself to know for sure :)
