Malang - Unleash the Madness (2020)
Awesome movie with below expectation climax
Acting wise Aaditya Roy Kapoor was best in both as innocent n killing spree character. Disha patani was cute and also jesse. Kunal Khemu was icing on the cake as an antagonist and Anil Kapoor was bad and mad and played his character with lot of depth.
Ending was not so good considering the storyline and wrath of Aditya Roy Kapoor as a killer. Kunal Khemu made it interesting when he showed his negative side.
All in all it's a must watch. Come on its Mohit Suri's film and he never disappoints.
Pailwaan (2019)
Sudeep n Suniel Shetty Combo
Honestly this the first movie of kitcha sudeep where his acting is so intense that it creates a mixture of emotions,action,wows and prejudices..
Both the villains have done tremendous job esp the boxer who is ruthless n haughty n doesnt bothers if he kills someone to win a fight..
Suniel Shetty is an icing on cake esp when he comes back to defeat the maharaja who is another antagonist..
And finally its the relationship between a father and son and again Father n daughter depicted in a beautiful way which makes us clear that relationships do matter in our life..
Must watch movie. Watch it once n definitely u would like to watch it again in near future too.
Hello Guru Prema Kosame (2018)
A Different Love Story
Such types of love stories are yet to seen in indian film industry
Special thanks to Prakash Raj and Ram pothineni.Their acting and chemistry makes you enjoy the most.
Screenplay keeps you engaged till the end
Good movie by the director
Must watch if you are bored of the same kind of love stories
Gully Boy (2019)
Just Awesome.Cinematic masterpiece
Watch it for beautiful acting by every bunch of actors in this amazing movie.How to pull of an acting out of an actor Zoya akhtar knows so well.
Her direction is exceptional.
Music,rap battles etc everything keeps u stuck to your seats.
Don't want to say anything more.
A must must watch
Friend Request (2016)
It has some moments.One time watch
Friend request is a supernatural psychological horror film.
Its about story of a girl who is socially very active n has lots of friends to hang out with.
Suddenly she receives invitation request at social networking site from a companionless girl which she accepts .After then what happens its for you to watch.
It does have moments which will give you goosebumps n scare and it also manages to involve you by creating a terrified atmosphere which is able to petrify you.
But it fails to meet your expectations as it slips further in second half and climax is certainly weak.
Overall it does have some scary moments with background horror stricken atmosphere and is a surely a one time watch.So before watching this movie don't hype up your expectations.
Case 39 (2009)
It plays with your mind.Must watch
Before writing further i wanna say that this movie is not for those who expect ghosts and paranormal activities suddenly appearing before you n giving you goosebumps.
Its truly a psychological horror genre film.From beginning and as it progresses it develops a certain kind of perception in your mind that whats gonna happen next.
The most scariest scene i foud in this movie was girl's evaluation session with bradley cooper.It was so well organized and their interaction will surely make you say oh my god! .That was just awesome. Moreover the way the little girl character develops is very much intriguing to keep you stuck on your seats.
And the whole atmosphere was great and makes the movie watchable.Give it a try if you are a true fan of psychological horrors.
It (2017)
When a brother takes revenge from a clown..
This movie is not just horror.It does not have twists and turns.
It neither has suspense.So what makes it a movie worth watching?
Such kind of movie has never been made before in my point of view.
Its about friendship n bravery.A friendship of bunch of boys who always get bullied by older tough guys and a girl who has become so weak inside due to personal issue with her father.
When all of them come together,they pledge to solve the murder mysteries
of kids which repeat after certain period of time.
Ther are some moments of scare n thrill which will keep you on edge of your seat.But all it coveys is that people can fight the demons inside them
and can overcome the weakness.
And the friendship is all about unity.
The Plague (2006)
Watch it.Ponder what it really wants to convey.
First of all i want to tell it is not for those who are the hardcore fan of zombie or supernatural horror movies which are easy going and don't make you think at the end.
The plague is surely not one of such horror movies.It is different in every sense.It has not so much gore,killings as we usually see in other horror movies.The most distinct part of the movie is those lines in the diary which will make you think.
Now its on you how you analyze.
I contemplated and came to a conclusion that if you fear and live life of a slavery(being a slave to anyone) and convey your thoughts and fears to the children shown as antagonists they will just extract your thoughts and soul.
Now what protagonist says to his wife at the end which saves her?He tells her not to look at them and think about the good times they had when they got married.Thus they were unable to rip her soul apart from her body as she did'nt let her fear and thought of going to die come out at the end.
Now why suddenly children became stable and non violent in the end?As tom's soul was their last target,what he was thinking at the end changed the whole scenario.He had no fear and had peaceful,cheerful days of love and not to forget 'The hope' in his mind which led to that state of children in the end.
Udta Punjab (2016)
Harsh Reality about how drugs destroy our aims,dreams,emotions and above all our Relationships.
Udta punjab as the title speaks itself is a story about how youth in punjab is becoming addicted to drugs and when the politicians,mafia nexus dominates this system one can do nothing.
It is very much true depiction of whatever is going on in punjab. How drugs cross borders and how they are used to influence migrants,young innocent people for self interests of mafias,landlords and politicians.
It is a dark crime thriller in which four main characters are intermingled in some or the other way.Two of them(shahid and alia) having high aspirations and two of them(kareena and diljit) working hard to wage war against drugs.
But when this whole situation becomes worse and affects family and relationships everything is gone.That is all this movie wants to convey to its viewers.
Performance wise alia bhatt gives her one of the best act till date. Shahid kapoor is back with a unique serious drug addict role and fits well in his character.The chemistry between kareena kapoor and diljit dosanjh is interesting.Both have done their roles with perfection.This movie being diljit's bollywood debut never looked like his first movie.
Finally kudos to Abhishek chaubey to bring such topic on silver screen.It was very much needed and yes he has been successful in capturing the reality.There is no fallacy in it.He has proved himself once again.
Thank you for making such movie
Voroshilovskiy strelok (1999)
A must watch for all who love their family from core of the heart
This movie is not just about a story line or suspense thriller filled with twists and turns.
Its about an old man to whom her grand daughter is everything. It makes you feel the emotional attachment and strong bonding between an old man and her innocent grand daughter.
It shows when the person you love the most gets hurt how it affects you.You try to get justice in every possible means but fail in every measure.The only option left is nothing but to do something on your own.
Brutal crimes like rape leaves victim in trauma for whole life. And when such thing happens with the person you love the most it naturally hurts you more mentally.
Same happens with the man whose grand daughter,a young innocent teenager gets gang raped by 3 drunkards and perverts. Trying hard to resort to judicious measures to put accused behind bars he fails and thus decides to teach them a lesson on his own.
The old man himself being a sharp shooter starts taking revenge targeting private parts of the rapists(not to kill them) so that those perverts could never do such crime again.
In conclusion i want to say that when one's loved one is a victim of such a heinous crime and when all police and judicial measures fail to provide you justice you have to do something even if it is against law.You cant leave everything on God that those who steel,murder or rape will be punished by him some day in some way.
Remember God helps those who help themselves.This shows a love of an old man for her innocent grandchild.
This movie left me in tears.Mikhail Ulyanov's acting as old man will move you and her grand daughter innocent acting will surely leave you in tears.
This is the first Russian movie i watched and recommend it to all others if you love some one more than your own life.
Finding Fanny (2014)
Short and sweet journey which ends only to make mockery of fanny
Finding fanny revolves around the life of five main characters of the film and their journey to find lost love of an old man played by naseeruddin shah.He plays his role with ease and once again you see him in a very different role characterized by innocence,honesty and lovable human being.He is the one who makes the whole journey interesting by his charm and charisma dominating all other stars.Undoubtedly he is the best part of the movie.
Then comes Pankaj kapoor.Although we have seen him in much better roles,yet he manages to impress with his awesome dialogue delivery skills.The character he portrays is of an artist who tries desperately to paint a plump,oversized proud and arrogant lady( played by dimple kapadia ).
Deepika padukone,Dimple Kapadia and arjun Kapoor are good to watch.They are like wheels of a car driven by Naseeruddin shah and Pankaj Kapoor,supporting them well.
Screenplay is impressive and well supported by eye catching locations.I must say that the director has done a good job here as the movie is less based on content and more on presentation.In this 90 minute movie the director takes care of audience by not adding much songs.
As the movie begins all the characters are introduced and soon they go on a journey to find naseeruddin shah's lost love Stephanie aka fanny after almost 40 years.As the movie proceeds it succeeds in keeping the spectators engaged.What let's you down is the climax of the movie.After watching whole movie one expects an emotional romantic reunion. To its contrast fanny is introduced as a women who had known many men but naseeruddin shah and lived a colorful life.The man who is exemplified as epitome of love was never ever talked about by fanny as is revealed by her daughter.This messiah of love even fails to recognize fanny,the lady who was his only love.This is disturbing and spoils the mood.The climax could have been far better than that.
So folks watch this movie for some good performances and awesome locations but don't expect much from it.The movie is short and will not bore you.I give it 6 out of 10
Grand Masti (2013)
Forget the nonsense,just have fun
Grand masti is an adult comedy which involves life of three married guys who want to have masti without letting know their wives..It is a reality take on how young guys do fun during their college time.
We all have gone through that period of what we used to do during college days and young guys sometimes have fun cracking non veg or vulgar jokes.That is what grand masti offers on the siver screen..It has all the ingredients of an adult comedy..
And please while watching it do neglect some cheap jokes which show women in poor light..Hardly there will be two or three..Rest all is fine
All in all Grand masti is a good movie for weekend fun.
Besharam (2013)
Besharam is not that bad..Deserves 5 out of 10 if not more
Besharam is a very very simple rom com..It is not so bad to watch. The only problem with besharam is that you don't expect an average movie from superstar like ranbir kapoor and dabbang director mr kashyap.
That is the reason which let it down as audience had very high expectations and with such expectations even an average movie can't save itself..
I watched it yesterday with almost no expectations and guess what i did not get bored.Everything was average from screenplay to direction.Even Ranbir was in his usual avatar..First half was average and second one below average due to its predictability..
All in all Besharam in my opinion is a bit underrated and like an other average movie deserves 5 out 10..You can watch it..
Horror Story (2013)
Then what if it is copied,Horror Story is a good one time watch
Bollywood movies are these days badly criticized for borrowing some elements or even whole concept from Hollywood flicks.Horror story too was panned as some referred it as direct copy of grave encounters and had some scenes similar to two or three other English movies..
I have also seen Grave encounters and yes the plot was quite similar..OK lets assume that the critics haven't seen any of the above English movies..I am sure then they must have reviewed the horror story positively..So why not put ourselves in that category of those who are more on bollywood side and watch foreign movies less often..
Bollywood wants to present Hollywood flicks for our typical Indian spectators in our own style..Why not think that way rather than to criticize almost every Indian horror movie..
Just forget that you have seen grave encounters or any of other English horror and watch The Horror Story..I assure you that you won't be disappointed..There are some flaws but as per horror quotient is considered it will surely terrify you..
I rate it 7 out of 10..A must one time watch for all supernatural horror movie fans
Zanjeer (2013)
This is an Era of Bad Remakes
After super success of Agnipath remake and failure of Himmatwala it is the turn of Zanjeer to continue this remake culture.To execute the original same plot in modern style is not at all easy.Himmatwala had entered its name in worst remake record books and Zanjeer too makes an attempt to reach at par with Himmatwala but fails due to some entertainment quotient.Only few entertaining scenes manage to save it from sheer embarrassment.
To talk of the performances Ram charan has strong hold on the screen but you won't say wow after watching him till the end..Prakash raj is good but monotonous as always..Priyanka and Sanjay dutt are just fine..Apoorva lakhia's direction and screenplay is commendable but weak script, and bad execution overshadow it.
All in all a poor remake with performances far below expectations.Its better to wait and watch Zanjeer on TV than wasting your precious money in multiplexes.
I rate it 4 out of 10
Raanjhanaa (2013)
A Heart Touching Emotional Melodrama
There is a beautiful saying Love is only half the illusion;the lover,but not his love is deceived..That is what Ranjhanaa offered to all the viewers..It is a love story which begins with a guy named kundan played by rookie Dhanush who in childhood falls for a girl named zoya played by Sonam kapoor at first sight and thus begins his journey to prove his love for the girl again and again and to gain her acceptance which unfortunately never happens..
It is a different take on love story which in the later half is set in political scenario through which our protagonist this time tries hard to prove his goodwill and in the end succeeds by his martyrdom for love..
The protagonist Dhanush has acted with full of energy and enthusiasm..His performance as a bollywood debut actor demands praise and appreciation..He should be given more of such youngster type roles..Looking at his performance you won't say that it is his first Hindi movie..
Sonam kapoor is brilliant in first half but as a political leader in the later half falls below standard.She is still not ready for serious roles.I would like to mention one more character here,a girl named bindya who has crush on the protagonist..She has surprisingly and unexpectedly acted wonderfully..I would like to see her in more movies..
Abhay Deol in different short role is good as till now we haven't seen him playing a student political leader..
Direction by Aanand rai is fine.Screenplay by Himanshu Sharma is very very good..Music by Rehmaan Sir is awesome as always and the background music is quite pleasing.Climax(the most important part) is just outstanding..
The only problem i found out was with script and editing..For instance a scene where marriage ceremony of Sonam and Abhay is taking place and Dhanush spoils the party revealing Abhay as a Hindu who in fact was portraying the character of a Sikh guy..It would have been better if he was referred as a non Muslim instead of Hindu in that scene..There was another scene when Dhanush impresses the farmers in just few seconds without using any political skills as such is also an example of some weak clauses in the scipt..These small mistakes are to be taken care of especially in such top grade flicks..Moreover at one time movie gets so deeply involved in politics that we forget that it actually is a love story..
So friends do watch Ranjhnaa and cherish this beautiful movie..Please makers we want a sequel...
I rate it 8 out of 10
Fritt vilt (2006)
Enthralling,Heart-Pounding but suffers from flaws.
After Americans and Europeans now it is the turn of Norway to give us a good slasher film..Comparatively Europeans are far far better in making movies in this genre than Americans..High tension,martyrs and frontiers(all french) etc are few perfect examples of well made movies..If you have'nt watched them then please do watch to know the difference..
Cold prey aka Fritt vilt proves to be a gift from Norway to all the slasher fans..It is not just about the brutal killings and the bloodshed which in my opinion is the only thing Americans keep in mind while making the movie..I am not panning them here..Yes they do make good slasher movies like Halloween,Texas chainsaw massacre etc to name some but they concentrate more on the nature of murders..They put more energy on designing bloody gory scenes than other aspects..
To be honest cold prey has very few killing slasher scenes but still it keeps you interested and engaged..Thanks to the awesome direction,brilliant sound effects,fine screenplay,snowy landscape and a suspenseful climax,which we often don't see in American slasher films..
Some scenes are fascinating,eye catching and will hold you completely spellbound..You are bound to experience some unavoidable goosebumps too..
Now if you watch it carefully then at the end of the movie some questions will arise inside your mind??? 1)Why was the fractured guy made to memorize the label on the tin while the female protagonist goes to search for rescue equipment?
2)Why was the young boy who was running with fear in the beginning of the movie murdered by his own parents??Was it because he was ugly?? Perhaps yes and if no then what was the reason??
3)Why was boy's father on a killing spree??What made him a psychopath?
4)Where was the boy's mother??Did his father kill her too??
These confusions led me to rate it 7 out of 10.Otherwise it deserved higher rating.I might have to watch it again or it's sequel to get my answers
Never the less Cold Prey is a fine attempt by Norwegians in slasher genre..Watch it..This thought provoking film won't bore you..
Equilibrium (2002)
Equilibrium is a One Man Show..Watch it for Christian Bale
Equilibrium is a story of Preston,a loyal warrior cleric and master of gun karta,a martial art who's main job is to enforce the laws of city of libria,punish the violators and destroy any artistic material which generates a sense of feeling in the people..
His life takes a turn when he accidentally breaks his vial of emotion suppressant(prozium) and starts experiencing emotions..Thus begins his journey as a rebel against the laws of state of libria..In the meantime it becomes difficult for him to control his emotions in front of his children and a sense offender named mary who was in fact the lover of his friend who was killed by protagonist himself for being a sense offender
Moreover the memories of his wife who was executed for sense offense and execution of mary o'brein with whom he develops emotional connection during the process of interrogation were enough for him to suffer emotional breakdown which leads to his arrest as a sense offender..But somehow by tricking his partner who had arrested him he saves himself from the execution..
From there on he decides to aid the resistance movement(which is underground and ideologically anti librian)to assassinate the father(head of the state of libria)using his advanced martial art and finally succeeds..
Equilibrium was not received well by critics as it was considered a mishmash of some sci-fi movies..I won't name those movies as i have not watched any of them..That was perhaps why i enjoyed every bit of it
Christian Bale as preston is just awesome..His acting left me speechless.I consider it one of his best till date..It was like the character played by him was made for him only..No other actor would have done this with such an elegance..Some scenes such as when he plays ludwig van beethoven c.d and fails to control his emotions and when dogs were being exterminated and he saves a cute little animal are brilliantly acted..
Screenplay is well written and special effects are excellent..Direction too is top class..
I strongly recommend this film to Christian bale fans..Watch it to feel it..You will surely become a sense offender after watching this film
I rate it 9 out of 10
Adam Chaplin (2011)
Get ready to unleash the power of Love,Vengeance and The Adam Chaplin..BLOODSHED AT ITS BEST
The first words that came out from my mouth after watching this movie were Oh my god what did i just watch..I finally got something totally different to watch out in form of Adam Chaplin.It was far far better than my expectations
Now what makes this movie different??What are it's plus points??
1)Extreme bloodshed ever witnessed which makes it a must watch for fans of this genre
2)Awesome background music which is almost nonstop and suits so well to each and every scene
3)The way camera is used to shoot the sequences from different angles especially closely shot scenes are really a treat to watch.
4)The deformed get up of almost all the characters gives it a distinctive look.
5)The pace with which movie progresses with every scene and even the flashback making sense out of it..You won't find any scene illogical and meaningless
6)The conversations between the actors are engaging and they won't bore you even for a second
7)The gory action reflects creativity and is unforgettable and breathtaking
8)The climax when demon resting on Adam's shoulder shoulder says There is no distance between you and your desire and adam without touching deformed antagonist destroys him using all his energy is just outstanding..
Direction by Emanuele de santi who himself plays Adam the protagonist is praiseworthy and the special effects are visual delight
Some of the scenes are graphically designed and appear artificial which do bother the viewers but as it is more of a fiction so they are acceptable..
All in all Adam Chaplin is a low budget gem which is completely distinct in each and every perspective from other flicks of this genre
I rate it 8 out of 10 as such kinda movie has never been made..
Haute tension (2003)
Highly Tensed Atmosphere..TERRIFYING EXPERIENCE
High tension is got to be the one of the best slasher movies i have ever seen..Why??Here is my answer
1) The atmosphere from the beginning of the movie till climax is highly intense which will really scare the sh*t out of you
2)Every scene is slowly performed and so cleverly done that you will fall into the depth of it.
3)Even the moments which are generally not scary will scare the hell out of you.
4)The gore in high tension is something novel to watch..In all the slasher movies i have watched till date i found the bloodshed scenes quite similar but the scenes in high tension are the most uncommon among all.
5)The protagonist of high tension has raised the level of this movie to a new height with her frightening expressive awesome acting
6)The locations and the night shoot added extremely tensed atmosphere in some scenes
7)The unusual climax which is beyond imagination in slasher movies
What more i have to say about this picture.......... It does suffer from some flaws which are easy to catch if you watch it with concentration but considering various plus points these can easily be neglected..
No matter what others suggest you about this flick,just don't think twice and watch it..A must must watch for all slasher fans..You won't regret after watching high tension
My rating 8 out of 10 and yes it can be watched twice
The Descent (2005)
Do you call it a horror movie..HELL NO
To be serious after watching the descent i was not able to decide whether to include it in horror genre or not..It did'nt scare me at all..I would have rated it better if it was an adventure thriller and not promoted as a horror film..
More than 60 or 70 minutes of The descent consists of just adventure and some nice thrills with girls moving down and down inside the cave due to which the movie got the title The Descent..
And as they descent down the cave we get to see some humanoid creatures which were perhaps the weakest things i have ever encountered in such type of films who were not too much for the girls..Had there been the cannibals the movie might have generated nice scary moments..
For most of the time the girls dominate those creatures who were quite a lot in number as compared to just 5 or 6 girls..The director tries so hard to scare the hell out of the viewers but fails miserably otherwise if we talk of some thrill and adventure he has done a decent job.Special effects are fine too but not scary..
What was more disappointing was the time devoted to the action sequences between the girls and those humanoid creatures which was less than 30 minutes..Had it been more i would have definitely rated it higher..
Never the less The descent is watchable considering that you don't expect it to be a horror movie that will make you pis* your pants
World War Z (2013)
Disappointment for serious zombie action lovers
I am a huge fan of serious zombie movies.Some of them in my list are The Horde,Devil's playground,Dead Set Series which i consider better than World War Z as per the action sequences concerned with them.
My expectations from World War Z were very high as i found trailer quite interesting.The scenes such as Zombies running and jumping on the people to catch n eat them and forming a very high pile to jump over a large wall were something new for the hardcore zombie fans..
What left me disappointed was that all those scenes were already shown in the trailer and movie did'nt offer any more of such kind of eye catching sequences..Moreover the storyline is not strong enough to keep you hooked on your seats..
Acting by almost all actors was good but direction was not upto the mark with some fighting sequences very fast paced thus affecting the visual clarity..Screenplay did suffer from some flaws but overall it was fine..Climax was impressive which perhaps made way for a sequel..
All in all World War Z is a one time watch..No need to regret if you miss it..
I rate it 5 out of 10
[Rec] (2007)
What A Movie..SIMPLY STUPENDOUS
REC is the best horror movie i have ever watched.
I was a supernatural horror movie freak until i watched this film.The movies like The grudge and Ringu aka The Ring were my favorite..Serious Zombie movies impress me too but i don't find them on the scarier side..
REC is a beautiful blend of supernatural and zombie horror..If one gets to see both together and that too in a terrifying location as shown in the movie,it is bound to mesmerize you.
It is such kinda movie that you stick to it from the very beginning and don't dare to leave your seat till the end..Acting,direction and screenplay are just awesome.
I am now in love with found footage horror movies.How to make a horror movie,Americans should learn from Europeans and Asians..
Hats off to the makers of such a great horror movie..I have watched it again and again and every time i watch it i just can't avoid heavy goosebumps
A must must watch for all horror movie fans..
The Strangers (2008)
A Smart beginning spoiled by poor climax
The best part of any flick is it's climax which if turns out to be bad spoils the whole idea of the story..But what if story itself lacks meaning or fails to make any sense??
The strangers strangely doesn't offers anything strange except some thrills which anyhow keeps one engaged and waiting for something interesting to happen.The story is unusual lacking character development and as it progresses it loses the charm with which it began.
We get to see thrilling sequences right from the beginning till the end which fail to take the story forward and as it reaches the end the movie completely loses it's plot with climax providing no reasons for why the strangers created ruckus.
The strangers randomly selecting the victims for whole night brutal events which turn out to be a nightmare for the victims doesn't makes any sense..I kept on thinking that they might be doing all this as it had some concern with their past lives,otherwise why would a family consisting of a father,mother and daughter act as a violent psychopaths butchering the victims only because they were at home.Isn't it strange.
The only plus point of the movie is it's spine chilling sequences which keeps you adhered to your seats till the end.I would have rated it 6 out of 10(had there been a better ending)only because of fine direction and acting.
I RATE IT 5 OUT OF 10.Definitely not a must watch
Jaani Dushman: Ek Anokhi Kahani (2002)
To Hell With This Movie..COMEDY OF HORRORS
The most stupid horror movie i have ever seen..
I always question myself that Why the hell did i watch it??
It is a disaster in every sense..
I think everything from writing script of this movie to its completion happened within 24 hours..Director must have hurriedly waken from his sleep,wrote the story,called the actors,started shooting and completed the movie just before going to bed again at night.
Direction,screenplay,story,editing,dialogues,special effects all are pathetic
Never dare to watch this EPIC DISASTER
