I had booked tickets in advance for the movie "Kalki 2898 AD," not realizing it would coincide with India's semifinal match. Faced with this dilemma, I decided to go ahead and watch the movie in 3D since each ticket cost 285, and skipping it would be a waste. I figured I could multitask by enjoying the movie on the big screen while keeping an eye on the match on my phone. The show was the last one of the night, and the theater was packed. It had been a long time since I had seen such a full house. The opening scene, featuring a young Amitabh Bachchan as Ashwatthama in the Mahabharata war, gave me goosebumps. As the movie progressed, it didn't feel like an Indian film. Instead, it felt like a Hindi-dubbed version of a dystopian Hollywood movie. This film is truly made for the big screen. It crafts an impressive mix by drawing inspiration from history, mythology, and some English novels and films. The setup and treatment are new for the Indian context, so some viewers might find it difficult to connect with it. The story is heavily inspired by the 2006 movie "Children of Men," with elements of history, mythology, and various Hollywood films mixed in. However, the blend is done right, and I found it quite enjoyable. At times, it reminded me of "Mad Max," and at other times, "Guardians of the Galaxy." The movie was unnecessarily long; with tighter editing, it could have easily been an hour shorter. It took a while for the story and characters to come into their own. The beginning was slow, and about 10% of the audience left the hall early. Among the remaining 90%, around 20-30% were watching the match on their phones while occasionally glancing at the movie, myself included. The movie is grand, with excellent background music and visual effects. It's a joy to watch. Amitabh Bachchan as Ashwatthama was unparalleled; he overshadowed everyone else in the film. Kamal Haasan had only two scenes but left a lasting impact. It will be fascinating to see him in future films of this universe. The weak point of the movie, for me, was Prabhas. I had higher expectations from him. The songs also felt a bit weak, lacking the impact of those in "Baahubali." The movie really picks up after the interval, and the last hour is worth every penny. I thoroughly enjoyed the film and am eagerly awaiting the next installment in this universe. Such movies will bring people back to theaters. However, some people I asked afterward said they didn’t quite understand what was happening. Overall, I had a great time. I got my money's worth, and with India reaching the finals, the taste of victory was even sweeter. The film is good and worth watching in the theater with the whole family. From my side, I’d give it 7.5 out of 10.

Oppenheimer is undeniably one of the finest films of the 21st century, masterfully blending history, science, and cinematic brilliance. Christopher Nolan once again proves his prowess as a director, seamlessly weaving together complex narratives to deliver an unforgettable experience. Cillian Murphy's portrayal of J. Robert Oppenheimer is nothing short of remarkable; he captures the character's anguish, frustration, and hope with a raw intensity that lingers with the audience long after the credits roll. The movie's ability to encompass pivotal events in Oppenheimer's life while maintaining a captivating storyline is a testament to Nolan's storytelling skills. Although the film's length may seem a tad long, it ultimately serves to immerse the audience deeper into the character's world and the significant moments in history. Furthermore, the inclusion of prominent scientists like Einstein, Feynman, Bohr, and Heisenberg adds an exciting layer of authenticity and intrigue. Watching these iconic figures interact and shape the course of history on the big screen is a fantasy come true for science enthusiasts and history buffs alike. "Oppenheimer" deserves all the praise it receives and more. With its gripping narrative, superb performances, and visionary direction, it is indeed a modern masterpiece. I would confidently rate it 9 out of 10, and I eagerly anticipate its well-deserved recognition during awards season."

Having seen the first movie as a kid and today I was with my kid in the movie theatre, this was a nostalgic trip. This was like handing over the baton of legacy to the next generation. For the first time my son watched something with apt attention in the theatre. He was so engrossed that he didn't want to come until the rolling of the end credits finished. Like I said it was a nostalgic trip for me and so it was for Woody. It's emotional, heart warming with some lump in the throat moments. Lovely story with a top notch animation. I had watched the earlier movies of this series with a different mindset and this time I watched it as a parent and I can assure you this time I loved it even more. So new mummy and papas go with your kids they will definitely enjoy it and you will connect with every emotions like they are your own.
