Jaane Jaan (2023)
Gripping movie with a Jaideep Ahlawat masterclass.
First thing first - Jaideep Ahlawat delivers a performance of his lifetime. His expressions playing a cold, almost sedate like person are so good. Kareena Kapoor playing the vulnerable yet strong single mother caught in a criminal investigation does wonders while Vijay Verma is at his usual best. Sujoy Ghose's direction is gripping & uses new ways to describe what would have happened or actually happened.
Shot in beautiful Kalimpong, the beauty of the natural surroundings doesn't escape you even while you're watching an intense scene.
The film manages to hold itself tightly on the suspense even though identity of the killer is already revealed in the beginning! Strongly recommend to watch this.
Saas, Bahu Aur Flamingo (2023)
Action packed drama show!
I was looking forward to watching this show for a while & when I did I was not disappointed at all. As the trailer suggests, it's a show about a drug cartel run by women in garb of handmade handicraft business. The story though is a combination of the cartel running into problems from other criminal organisations, police & some insiders who appear to be not trustworthy.
Brilliant performances by Dimple Kapadia, Radhika Madan & Isha are highlight of this show. Direction is fast paced and the screenplay doesn't hold the show back. The story could have distributed the effect of certain characters better and that is where I cut 1 mark. All in all a great show to watch. 9 out of 10.
School of Lies (2023)
An emotional suspense drama which is worth a watch!
Absolutely loved this show. Noteworthy points :-
1. Direction is slick. In most suspense serial, a strong storyline must be supported by food direction. This show delivers on that front.
2. Storyline has many layers & writer has intertwined them very well .
3. Screenplay is smooth. Never a moment where show would feel lethargic. Length of episodes is kept at 35 minutes
4. Scenic location - Cinematography is brilliant. This show has been shot in stupendously beautiful locations.
5. Plethora of sensitive issues touched upon which grace.
6. Nimrit Kaur gives an amazing performance.
A wonderful watch .
Mimi (2021)
Kriti Sannon with a breakthrough performance!
Beautiful movie. A sensitive matter like surrogacy is woven through the storyline magnificently . Pankaj Tripathi with his usual top notch performance keeps the movie light and fun while Kriti Sonnon delivers a power packed performance . They also manage to give a very important message . One of the finest movies of 2021. Absolutely loved it !
