Animal (2023)
Epitome of Cringe
This is not a movie but a psychological evaluation report of the director. Really, what is wrong with the director? Only few good things in the movie are cinematography, BG. Very thin story woven around the gore and meaningless violence. Director seems to have some hangover of Tarantino but he is nowhere near him. His characters are pretending to look schizophrenic, but script is so bad that they sound irrational & stupid. Movie works sometimes but most parts are full of cringe moments. I am not allergic of watching a story of a psychopath but definitely can't watch their glorification. The director appears to be celebrating the hollow aspects of the lead character. Waste of time!
Samrat Prithviraj (2022)
Lost opportunity!
Before watching the movie I had read mixed reviews and decided to watch with an open mind.
So many things gone wrong with movie, it is surprising to see Dr. Chandraprakash Dwivedi saying he can't understand why did movie fail.
Although AK was not a good choice for the role but most responsible people for the failure is Director and Producers. Below are the issues I could observe in the movie. Might contain spoilers!!
1. Except for the costumes and few sets, the said 300cr. Cost hardly visible. Looks like lion share of the budget went to AK and VFX
2. Quality of VFX is somewhat okay, while VFX for landscape looked stale and tacky. VFX for animals looks okay.
3. Director completely ignored the character development completely, viewers may not be able to connect with the characters before movie finishes.
4. Everyone looks in a hurry to wrap-up the movie, probably covid-19 impacted the movie even-though they don't admit this.
5. War scenes looked just okay but too small, in the second half there is hardly and scene which thrills.
6. Crappy screenplay, since story is already known to people it was expected that screenplay should have been able to keep the viewer engaged. Also, mixed use of Urdu and Hindi words didn't sound natural with a period drama. At times Kaka (Sanjay Dutt) and other Samants keep joking with each other but you still feel like stupid wondering what is happening.
7. Cinematography is okay but editing lacks ornamentation, poor cinematic experience made me feel like I am watching some TV serial from 90's. Clearly Director lacks the understanding of modern filming techniques.
8. Short in length. A lot could have been shown and said, but last war scene ends abruptly and I felt like a fool asking for more and more especially after movies like Bahubali, viewer would certainly higher expectation. You don't need to show over the top slow motion action sequences but still people have already tasted the blood after watching GOT, Troy, Bahubali etc.
9. Acting is okay, nothing phenomenal.
10. To me it seems, by looking at the capabilities of the director and combining the effect of Covid, at later stage YRF tried to cut budget and kept things in small scale. All in all, you can feel their efforts were half hearted.
Daredevil (2015)
Marvel's Batman
If you like DC superhero Batman, you sure are going to love this brilliantly made series. Here and there you may find some hint of typical Marvel content but most of the part has great screenplay and story telling. At times it story becomes dark and gritty which compels you to think like the characters. It's a pity that makers decided to discontinue the series.
Great characters, great story and great performances!! Batman fans don't miss it.
Atrangi Re (2021)
Director should show some trust in the audience
Movie is based on very complex subject, it deserved more seriousness and maturity. It seems director doesn't trust the maturity of audience to fathom the complex nature of human mind, he tries repeatedly to explain the problem by jokes and comic scenes which barely succeeds in keeping our interest in the movie alive.
Yeshwant (1997)
All time fevorite
One of the less known yet one of the best performances by Nana. If you liked Nana in Prahaar, you gonna like it for sure. Story is not too complicated but sure writing and direction is superb. Some unusual but good songs have been used like "ek machhar", Thumri "Saanwre".
As obvious, Nana has got meaty part of the movie, he has some deep and mind-blowing dialogs which you will remember for sure.
If you are a Nana fan, don't miss this.
Coolie No.1 (2020)
New Strain?
Is this the new strain of the Chinese virus, everyone is discussing lately??
War (2019)
No brainer full of cliché moments
Movie works here and there because of some action shots, otherwise total dud. Full of cliche dialogs and dull moments. Watch only if you are a Hrithik fan.
Story is childish a cocktail of 50% Hollywood action flicks and 50% Indian daily soaps.
The Family Man (2019)
Excellent piece of work!! Finally something good on Amazon Prime!!
So far the most mature web series from India I have watched. Story, Direction, Production Value, Acting, Editing is top notch.
I would especially mention Manoj Bajpayee and his family especially his kids have done excellent work. I have always noticed, directors don't work hard on kids but here I can't ask for more.
However I felt background score did not support the level of thrill and suspense. Writers cum Directors "Raj & DK" have done a fabulous job. The editing is also superb.
Looking forward to next season. Bring it soon, but without compromising on quality.
Good to see Amazon Prime on track, their Mirzapur was shit when compared to this.
Prahaar: The Final Attack (1991)
Consumes you fully everytime
What a movie!! Almost perfect on all the parameters. Non of the below reviewers noticed the fact that, Prahaar has been written, directed and acted by Nana himself. This shows his depth of thinking and intellectual qualities.
Such quality is not even possessed by super-hit new comer writer directors.
Tumbbad (2018)
A Must watch
A chilling thought provoking bollywood thriller after long time, that too with story :)
Wild Wild Country (2018)
He was no different than other Philosophers..
Ever-since our civilization came in to existence, countless people have tried to mold it to their ways, some did in most bizarre ways possible. He was just another thinker and philosopher who just failed with his experiment to make everyone follow his idea of happiness and living. I guess now people have grown to much of their own brain, now this is no more so easily doable. But Osho's legend is here to stay..
Read him to know him better..
