2.75/5 - Average movie Promises high octane grounded action but story and plot wise minimal. The film obviously excels in action with good choreography and well executed however the film lacks core emotion especially the moment involving main character's fiancé being murdered brutally despite few emotional moments such as passengers getting killed but that is short lived. The film's story is thinly made and doesn't have anything unique to offer, just one thin story. However the villain characters and the bandits are shown realistically and the acting performance of the villains and bandits are done really good. Also the hero's character is a typical special forces commando officer which is kind of cliché although the action set pieces stand out well, the film didn't establish a proper relationship between hero and his lover. Although action choreography and stunts are done well, there was a little emotional drive to make the hero fight violently. Overall this movie is for action lovers and people who are attracted to high octane action with blood and gore. Nothing great or good but its a decent action movie.

Rating 0/5. (But google review won't allow me to give zero so I gave one star to publish this but its 0/5.) Worst movie and worst kind of experience I ever had. Not scary, Not Thrilling, Not a single scene that is funny or entertaining. Raghava Lawrence tried to mimic Rajinikanth but failed and his entry is one of the worst in Tamil cinema and looks more like a meme rather than a actual hero entry. Also Chandramukhi's history and story is the same but it involves a spirit which isn't surprising or thrilling at all. The film was so cringe, loud, irritating to watch. Nothing positive to say about this movie. WORST OF WORST. After watching Chandramukhi 2, my respect for Rajinikanth's Chandramukhi increased by 100%.

2.75/5 SPOILERS!!! Average watch but with artistic and great performance especially by Chiyaan Vikram as Thangalaan. The story is decent however the acting performance especially Chiyaan Vikram extraordinarily lived the character of Thangalaan. Also Thangalaan's character was written very well and executed very well by Pa Ranjith. Other acting performances especially British officers were actually decent unlike most other movies portraying British officers such as RRR, Captain Miller where the British officers are cartoonish and simple. The British officers in this movie have a character arc and the performances are somewhat realistic and decent. The supporting characters like Aarthi, tribal villagers delivered a decent to very good performances in their part and was engaging to watch. The action could have been better along with the stuntwork and choreography because many of the actions sequence looked fake and unrealistic since this movie has a realistic tone. Also the CGI could have been better since this movie has a budget of 100-150 crore. Overall action was disappointing to watch and definitely weren't the worst but not the best. The screenplay was mixed bag and the storytelling was also interesting at points when Thangalaan and Aarti interact, fight and certain parts of the movie had a horror tone which was interesting and engaging to watch. There were some emotions such as the oppression faced by village people, the death of Thangalaan's some family members etc. The visuals of the movie were decent and some visuals actually improved from the trailer although some CGI shots could have been better. Climax could have been better. Overall the movie was mediocre.

Rating 2.75/5 Ok movie with lackluster first half. The characters that were more engaging and fun to watch were Amitabh Bachan as Aswatthama, Kamal Hassan as Supreme Yasskin and Pasupathy as a general of the resistance group. Those characters were good and I enjoyed their performance and their screen time. The background score by Santhosh Narayanan were really decent most of the time. Second half of the movie was a highlight as well as most of the action in the second half were engaging to watch especially the last climax action sequence were really impactful. Also the Mahabharat scenes like the introduction and war sequences were good to watch and were executed well although young Ashwatthama de-aging looked bad at times. Coming to the negatives, Prabhas ,as Bhairavaa, his acting and his character was disappointing in the first half and his acting performance looks close to being fake. Although his performance improves and becomes more engaging in the second half of the movie where he fights Aswathamma and finds SUM-80, his back story and his acting looks kinda bad. Also Disha Patani's screen presence weren't good at all and I found zero interest in her character and her romancing Prabhas instead felt cringe watching those moments. Also the action sequence in the first half especially the gun shooting scenes and firing scenes weren't engaging and looked kinda blunt. The action choreography could have been better in the first half and some parts of the second half along with the acting. Overall it was a mid movie and definitely worth a watch for many people in India although there were many disappointments but also great and wonderful moments in the movie as well.

1.5/5 TOTALLY UNEXPECTED ! One of the worst Indian movies of 2024 which many did not anticipate. Its really bad in terms of choppy editing, cringe comedy and action in the first half, loud BGM and screams in the second half, its an abomination. The direction and writing for this movie is terrible and there is no link between the present time and past ancient time in the movie. Its very tiresome experience. Many action in the second had potential but wasted due to the bad editing, bad camera work and loud BGM. Also the stepson and Suriya emotional connection is not developed and the emotional connection is weak in the movie. Suriya tried his best but its Siva and the editor that lets this movie down so badly. Also Kanguva is an example of overconfidence and overhype as the producer and the team were telling the whole country that this movie will gross 1000-2000 crores in the box office but without doing the proper hard work and delivering properly how could a producer and film maker make such claim? Let the film speak for itself. Its time Siva takes into account the critical reception of this movie and hear the audience on what they are saying especially normal and general audience.

My rating 3.5/5 Although second half crumbled a bit, the first half and vijay's and the family performance is great as well as the action set pieces. Vijay's performance as the father hiding his real identity is good, Vijays acting is really good and expresses alot of emotions and put honest effort as well as the family. BGM and song was good especially the theme for Anthony and Harold Das BGM which was intimidating. Flashback sequence were disappointing created little impact.

rating: 3.75/5 - Not as good as bahubali 1 and 2 but still shines as a VISUAL SPECTACLE and EMOTIONAL RIDE!! Review: A visual roller coaster that really doesn't make you feel bored a single minute. There are outstanding action moments, dramatic moments, emotional moments, fun moments, moments where you get angry at the characters and great music and songs. I loved it although there were few issues I had with the film like the simplistic one toned British villains and some over the top moments that didn't quite work for me BUT overall I found it to be a great film although I don't think it is the ultimate masterpiece but definitely worth a watch with epic action and moments. Overall this movie was fun, entertaining, larger than life experience which made me feel happy after finishing the film. I'm looking forward to SS Rajamouli's next movie SSMB29 and see how he will use his magic in his upcoming movie!!

1/5 - TOTAL SCAM ! ! Story is convoluted and somewhat cliche and unoriginal. Acting is cringe and OVERDRAMATIC, the fight scenes had some cool camera work and choreography but all were wasted due to choppy editing and screen going black in and black out throughout the movie. Also the film is overly edited, lots of high bright flickering light throughout and excessive use of slo-mos and dragging fight scenes. Patriotic elements are wasted by the film's execution, horrible screenplay and lack of character development. Songs are cringe and really goofy most of the time. Martin had some swag and few cool moments in the first half but second half, the movie becomes convoluted throughout. BGM was so loud most of the time without a break or time to be calm. Women characters are objectified throughout with BDSM style clothing, really cringe dance and costume. Songs have nothing to do with the story it is just dragging the movie. Exhausting and tiresome experience. Don't know what to say. Coming to honest youtubers who are reviewing this movie unbiased they literally being cancelled by Martin makers ,according to many of the critics on youtube who are posting on X.com and instagram with screenshot, who are imposing copy strike and banning their videos of honest criticism and the actual issues of the movie and THIS IS A TOTAL attack on freedom of expression and freedom to criticize. The makers of this movie are a disgrace to Kannada industry and Indian film industry for doing such thing and I would like to say many audience to voice your opinion regardless of what makers do. Instead of watching this trash, you could watch Jigra and Vettaiyan.

4/5 - Better than I expected. Very thrilling and engaging this movie is. Also new survival tactics and updated story while with some cliche concept of the xenomorph and alien but it has new elements to the survival horror movie. I also loved the character arc of the android Andy who became a best friend of Rain and knowing a little bit of his backstory with Rain. The world building and the introduction were well done and the movie more and more engaging throughout. The climax where a new human-xenomorph hydrid is introduced was also well done and unexpected. There were really tough and emotional moments when members of the group had to undergo tough decisions and conflicts with the android and the design of Andy and the pollution of his memory and objectives were shown very well and how he had to make a decision between Rain's wellbeing and Weyland's objective and how Rain and his member survive with Andy while being corrupted by one of Weyland's damaged android. The survival thriller was unexpectedly good and better than the previous movie Alien Covenant which was mediocre with many cliche moments but the franchise redeems itself with well executed Alien Romulus. Its a great horror movie although it doesn't have lot of scary stuff but it has some scary moments and is a must watch.

3.5/5 Good and fun play with very mid story and campaign. Campaign of Dying Light 2 was really disappointing although the introduction and first half were engaging. The second half and ending were a let down in my opinion. However the gameplay, some of the monsters, the day and night cycle, new parkour moves were all outstanding and great the world building, the environment were outstanding. The weapons, most of the characters in the game were good, the freedom to make choices and going in a non-linear story was really engaging and fun to experience. If the campaign and story telling were done really well, the game could have been alot better but sadly I found this game to be slightly inferior to first Dying Light which was a phenomenal experience.
