Jawan (2023)
2/10
Pure trash
4 November 2023
What a trash of a movie. As someone written A tamil movie made by a Hindi producer. As similar as any Rajni, Reavi teja movie. Call it Tamil or Telugu action movie with the same overused boring Over the top illogical action techniques. Unused cast , half baked stories , poor casting. SRK looks same as the son or father. Vijay Sethupati looks and acts uninterested. Deepika as always tries to look special but same old and same as ever -- nothing good. Primani, Nayantara, Sanya Malhotra all look wasted. Some known good actors are just there and God knows why they are there and why they did such a movie.

I love action movie done well even though illogical but entertaining.

Watch Qaithi, MI -day of reckoning. Especially Mission impossible the new one--so much out of the box thinking goes in bringing crazy action to the audience.

Watch Korean movies like The outlaws series. Check their action situations done in closed spaces with crazy camera angles. And thatto at a mere shoestring budget.

Pushpa was another illogical action movie but the cast was so interesting. Actors carried the movie well, songs , choreography was top notch. That was well made.

And here we have so much money pumped-in but what do we get is a dumb movie. I dont understand how fans just for admiring their fav actor just watch anything and praise anything that is served.

People like us just wait and expect something gr8 and get trash thrown on us.

I hope somebody ends this pan Indian trend if such trash movies like Jawan ,jailer, KGF, RRR keep on coming.

Bring something that is action & done well , served well with strong script, crazy action, gr8 cast who know how to act.

Prom night FNP
3 September 2023
Felt watching american school movie. Couldnt relate anything fr India. Prom night .. beer party ... does this happen in Indian school.

Babil khan was gud and others too. Felt all school characters from some american prom night movies. Too much imported ideas nothing desi.

Can we have Indian school movies which are or could b more fun & chhapri at the same time. Nothing wrong showing our way urban style. R we devoid of showing happening Indian pure fun coming of the age movies. Cant we b cool our way showing our school days . We have seen these kind of american movies cum Archies style comic fun umpteen times. Lets b more creative adapting our own ways trying to show our school college days urbanised or whatever. Disappointed & felt wasted. Who r we trying to impress?

Vikrant Rona (2022)
6/10
2nd half is the movie
3 August 2022
All my stars are for the 2nd half & climax.

The 1st half drags with unnecessary songs, heroism & some useless character /actors J . Fernandes being one of them.

Imagine a shorter 1hr 50 mins with a tight script would have made a gem.

Rangitaranga was better not the best due the same reasons.

The 2nd half justifies the 1st even though many unnecessary elements could have been avoided.

Acting is good, photography , art direction looks decent but action seems too over the top. 3D release is just a gimmick.

RRR (2022)
3/10
Everything was ok but the action
6 July 2022
Good performances , dance , photography , some bits here and there but the action gave away the points.

Rajamouli loves this kind of action right fr Magadhera to RRR.

Over the top action , larger than life characters , bad graphics , superheroic antics , mediocre 2nd half spoiled the show for me.

Anyways who cares its a super duper blockbuster, & larger mass & even class loves the movie.

Being a visionary I Hope next time Rajamouli makes a real superhero movie or gr8 action movie In the vein of Tamil movie Qaithi with a realistic grounded action ( not the same spring hoping flying , wire assisted action) a tad bit fantastical doesnt matter.

A wow second half after a nice 1st half buildup
15 December 2021
Long spidey movie but loved it due to its nice suprising 2nd half. Ofcourse the 1st half is good with Dr strange but the 2nd half is wow.

There are a quite few surprises & the multiverse.

Dont miss the mid & post credits.

Another gem in Malayalam movies
10 December 2021
Was fortunate to get a chance to watch this movie in Redsea film festival Saudi Arabia. Thanks to the Directior Mr. Nithin & Producer Mr Raj for inviting me.

Simplistic movie with powerful script . Nicely directed & with good BGM. Most of the actors have done a great job regardless for their experience. The voiceover , dubbing stars also did a great job. Everything seems real without any gimmicks.

Will be on a watchout for more from Mr Nithin.

Good story , performances but lengthy episodes
14 July 2020
Good series from apple. Yet I found the series should have been limited to 8 episodes & some unnecessary characters( irritating sister & her boyfriend) . Decent performances , good story. Waiting for more.

Welcome change
4 March 2019
Nice movie. Saw very few telugu movies . They weren't my cup of tea. Been waiting for movies like this , Rangasthalam ws one such movie. Its a long movie but worth the hours. Recommended for people who like stories that go beyond & bring forth subtleties in relations surpassing all norms & prejudicial thinking.

Sharp Objects (2018)
8/10
Dark , sharp , engaging with lots of Vodka.
2 December 2018
As dark as the novel. Slow but quite engaging & superbly acted. Lots of Abs. vodka thrown everywhere . As in the novel some scenes are cringe-worthy, disturbing. Full justice to the novel. Everyone does a superb role. Nice mini-series.
