Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3
(2024)

Tries to bank BB2 success with very mediocre story
Ill be straight , it is worse than BB2. Not much comedy and not much horror. Just some twist in the end but that alone cant make it a good movie. Makers should have taken more time to write and come with better comedy scenes.

Kartik and tripti were fine. But comedy cast cudnt get many good scenes only. Vidya and madhuri are wasted here. Not much good intensity scenes here.

Last 30 minutes of the film has some good comedy and horror scenes but they are too late too little. Camt ask an audience to sit for 1.5 hours to get entertained at the last .5 hour.

Overall you can skip it. But if u have to go for a movie this weekend then maybe better than chewing gum, u can watch this. But dont expect BB1 or Bb2 level content.

Longlegs
(2024)

Unique and fresh
If u wanna compare it to Seven or Silenece of the lambs, the u are in for disappointment.

Movie is beautifully shot, scored and paced. Performances are all good. There is a supernatural angle which fits fine(atleast for me).

Atmosphere setup is really good here. I felt chills all throughout the film. Maika did fine.

Cage was good in his role.

More than the mystery, film is good to experience as it unravels itself rather than ypu trying to solve it becz there is a supernatural angle involved. It once reminded me of a japenese thriller(Cure).

Overall it is much need serial killer film for the year. It is not all time great but it is a good one timer. Dont waste time and watch it.

The Beach
(2000)

I liked it, a good one timer
I was skeptic about it. I knew a danny boyle flick starting leo but seeing low rating, i never watched it. But recently i saw the moby soundtrack of this film and i got interested.

Movie is not perfect in all ways, but it just is able to showcases what it wants. Acting from leo and other people was good. Plot was also fine but the scenes where leo loses his head were plain bad. They shoudve been better ,i mean storywise that thing didnt click. But the ending was good again

Dreaming of a place where you live among nature secluded from the world and no hustle bustle, with a lover with a fresh water waterfall and a beautiful beach and unlimited suplly of marajuana. That was a hell of a place man. Do try it once. Am sure , humans wudve made such place in the last. Maybe earth was such a place before money became the most important thing. I liked it and do try it.

8 A.M. Metro
(2023)

A soul touching relaxing piece of cinema
Initially i wasnt sure if lead actress will be able to deliver the role she is into but she did it good. Gulshan anyway never disappoints.

I liked the poetry narration when scenarios changed in the movie.

Two strangers meet on a metro and have a connect. Both help each other in diffrt. Ways.

Movies is good and deserves 8 rating becayse it shows one character helping another to evolve and grow over your fear and inturn the other character helps the first character to move on in life.

Movies have to be like this, life like and showcasing the inner termoil we are carrying with us and need healing on.

Kudos to whole team for this film, it will right there in my heart with 'The lunchbox'(2013) for me.

Stree 2: Sarkate Ka Aatank
(2024)

Bhicky pleaseee
It was a good mass entertainer. It doesnt get boring for even a second.

Firstly, the part 1 team is back. They have done excellent job same as part 1. Rao and shraddha looked too good together , their scene and chemistry worked like charm. Tripathi ji , khurana, and banerjee all were great.

Storywise movie is weaker than stree 1, but here the execution and editing is very good. Story progresses at good pace, keeps audience engaged, and never lets you rest.

There are 2 cameos and they are good. I liked the ending, it was done in perfect manner, storyline from part 1 was nicely connected.

This is a good entertainer , ill say it is less horror than part 1 but it is full pf good entertainment which is lacking in big budget movies. Watch it asap.

Arthur the King
(2024)

Won my heart
The lead here has got the zeal to win in his one final attempt and ensembles a crew for that, not the top one but a good one. On the way , they befriend a dog who helps them now and then and in the end they sacrifice their advanced position in race to save the dog.

So , it is well balanced between fact and fiction.

Mark wahlberg did what he does best, give us the lead who wants to win but with a good heart.

Rest case also was good although not much character development of them.

Last few moments made me emotional but the acting was good and it will make every dog lover feel same. After all , a dog never disappoints you.

I feel after many days ive seen a movie with a good feel otherwise mostly i am into dark themed stuff so this was a welcome change. I hope mark gets more good movies as we would love to see him more.

Love Lies Bleeding
(2024)

A confusion between 6 or 7 rating for this
Firstly Katy o Brien has given a stunner performance. Her body, her expressions, those toned thighs, all were absolutely awesome. She deserves more work in hollywood.

Story wise there is nothing new , but the chemistry between the two leads makes it very interesting. How the story progresses in second half, it is fine , there are few intense moments but the climax was bit let down for me. I expected something bigger but that is my opinion.

I feel this movie had the potential to be even better with its premise but somehow in the end it fell short due its writing and script.

Ed harris was evil as always. Kirsten stewart was also okay.

Overall it is okay one time watch. But coudve been better.

Twisters
(2024)

A good summer hit
Now, its not great but it is good. It is worth going to picture hall for because it will keep you engaged till the end. By the end it became bit predicatble but i felt the connect the lead and other characters and i liked it.

It is a disaster flick so, youd expect fee things ,recently lot of style over substance has come in such genre but this movie balances both in good way. Both the leads and the side characters were good.

Vfx was good and made everything look believable.

Glen Powell is getting lot of good work. Good for him, he looked believable.

In the end , for a second i got feeling of Top Gun part 1, when tom cruise is succesful in the end and is overcome his guilt.

I liked my trip to theater today cause of this flick. Do give it a try it wont disappoint.

Kakuda
(2024)

Kya Kooda hai!
Am a guy who tries to promote low budget but tightly written movies so that those buddy creators can get more audience. But this one failed to make me do so. I didnt refer this flick to any frnd. Why? Because it became boring.

Actors have tried to do justice to the script but script itself fails them.

Story itself was looking like a spoof of Stree but slowly as it progressed it became boring. And nothing was coming out of it.

Vfx was fine ill say. It had good moments. Actually i feel they coudve made it better but unnecessery plot points were there.

Riteish as Ghost Hunter coudve been good.

Guys avoid this, it is not worth your time. Makers please improve.

Maidaan
(2024)

Best bollywood movie of 2024 yet
This is pure gold. Director has simply woven magic. And the magic of Ajay devgan is back. There is something majestic about devgan smoking ciggerette. He simply instills soul into his characters.

As movie is based on true story, it becones even more interesting. How a new team is built and how coach faces various issues is shown very beautifully. All actors have done their job well.

Management politics is also shown, and i liked that. What i disliked was some emotional scenes which could have been cut short.

Production is top notch, speacial mention to the football match scenes, they are simply magical, i think they hired real footballers for this.

This is a bollywood gold guys, watch it asap.

Crew
(2024)

Trash
3 of the best actresses accepted this script? Cant believe it. Wasted the talent of all 3 leads.

If they had given some depth to the characters, some emotional side story, then it would have been bit different. But muvi chose to be on the funnier side. And the plot became thin and unbeleivable in the 2 nd half.

Only good thing here was beautiful Kriti sanon. She is really adiva. She wears all dresses elegantly. Kareena looked hot but sadly was underused. Biggest disappointment was Tabu. She really shudnt have done this.

Ignore this flick is my final judgement. Because we have lot better films in India than this.

The Fall Guy
(2024)

Started off well with style but cudnt keep up amd ended up being mediocre
Ryan gosling and emily blunt. Their looks only made it beautiful. But story became losse in 2nd half. Action scenes were good but the story lost the little intensity which it developed in 1st half when it went into 2nd half.

We have seen alot of better films which tried to show same as this film and they were lot better.few scenes in the beginning were real good. They were continous shots and were well filmed. Seriosly am writing this after 3 days of watching it and i got nothing special to say, it became that mediocre.

You can skip this if you want, no missing. Gosling and blunt fans can go for it.

Bramayugam
(2024)

Descent into darkness
Setting and environment is top notch.

Actors all do their roles efficiently.

Mammoot is simply mamooty only, a legend.

Story takes place at older times durinf british era. A runaway slave takes refuge at a lonely mansion where its lord live with a servanrt cook.

Slowly slave learns the darker truths of the lord servant and the house. When he realises he cant skip or run away for it all, he tries to fix things.

Sound design is good. Whole movie maintains a momentum of a slow pace.

I was satisfied with the ending. In the end, it is the greed of human which initiates all evil. And it is toughest to control the list greed envy jealousy etc.

But this movie deserves a watch as it may start a new trend of black and white grey them of horror thriller films.

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga
(2024)

A solid a action thriller(but less than madmax fury road but is a sure shot must watch)
Mad max was very fast paced action film with top notch sequences. Here sequences are great but story takes time to settle. 1st half goes in that. It becomes interesting in 2nd hald and more action come here. But 1st half is good.

Anya taylor joy , chris h. Both did a good job. Tim burke also did a good job who drove the war rig.

Overall action sequences are good, cinematography is also good. But it is not great like mad max, because there the story was more simple and shown stylishly with mouth watering editing. But this definitely is a watch for the series lovers and action flick lovers.

I feel somehow , dementus cud not becone a very evil villain. In the end i felt in fury road we routed for killing of immortal joe but here it was bit divided between whether furiosa shud leave all and run or avenge her mothers death froom dementus. Though the character was pure evil of dementus but still i somehow feel it lacked something so that i cudve got more satisfaction by the end of movie when furiosa takes justice from him. Maybe second viewing might clear my head.

Madgaon Express
(2024)

A good fun
Proud of kunal khemu that he finally did something big with his comic talent. Movie is good.

Some jokes were very very good, they landed beautifully and made me laugh loudly. Many other ones made me smile.

Acting wise for me best was obviosly munna bhaya first then pratik gandhi and then tiwari ji. Nora was also nice. Both villains were good and comedic.

Production was good, and story takes ample time to settle, no rush on that front.

Goa was also good though nothing much happened outside. Not funny song was good.

Overall it is a good bollywood comedy movie after a long time. Please watch and apprecisate it. We want more from khemu now.

Kartam Bhugtam
(2024)

A good start but a sloppy finish
Shreyas talpade , Vijay raj and Madhoo really deliver in their roles here. First half is really good and half time break is also good one. Movie becomes little cheap in 2nd half.

Movie is made on low budget but one look of vijay raj, and your ticket money is already processed. How a man in bad times follow wrong steps is shown effectively here.

Taplade and his wife look good here. Same os the way with rest of the cast. There are few loopholes in the second half.

The climax was very good and vijay raj has done it with perfection. Kartam bhugtam is juatified in the end. But i doubt if kartan bhugtam really happens in real.world as we see many politicinas enjoying whole life dping wrong deeds and not facing any issue.

But movie shud be watched and appreciated in theters.

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes
(2024)

Well crafted story, better than many current mediocre flicks
Firstlt first half cinematography was on point. Took me in middle of the nature and i really felt good in the cinema hall.

Secondly, story is well crafted, character development is good, not too loud also like the lead becomes some great warrior by the end but he becomes smart and mindful by the end and is able to take cafe of its people.

This series never disappoints. Main usp of this series is its intense scenes. It never becomes a cheap affair,always has got right weight in the scenes whixh every cinema lover likes.

Overall please go watch it and appreciate the good work done here. And yes i felt maybe we need such apocalypse for making the earth so green again.

Laapataa Ladies
(2023)

A good movie with a message
Movie has showcased the importance of education and financial freedom in women. It did so in comedic situation of missing bride but it was well played.

Characters were nicely portrayed. All actors did justice to their part. 2 main female lead were terrific in their own roles. Setup looked authentic.

Most iconic of all roles was of Maai. She showed the true power of being a human(male or female) that u dont need other people to survive. Importance of skill building is very well depicted.

Manoj tiwari and constable were also good. Seeing such stories, city people like us may think how life is still much bavkward in villages. I hope it is not same today, hope government bring positive changes to north indian rural places.

Road House
(2024)

Cool fun
Its a cool flick, with good comedy filled in between. Movie was maybe little too light , villains were dangerous but funny too.

Sometimes you want light films with good entertainment and this one fits the bill.

Jake was great, and lets not talk baout his 6 pack abs. Main female lead was very very cute. Want to see more and more of her now.

I think there was one guy who was really serious and he maybe a real wrestler. He playdd his role very well. Vibe was good in qst half. Some how movie lacked in few areas in 2nd half. Otherwise this coudve been even better.

I wont satly it is one the best but it is good for some light entertainment.

Dune: Part Two
(2024)

Disappointed
Saw it yesterday. Not better than part 1. Part 1 gave enough time to establish all characters. Here few important thing or eventa are rushed. Also, Bgm is not great like part 1. Last 30 mintues were very rushed. Overall, a good movie but not better than part 1.

Zendaya ,Timothee ,Florence, Rebecca, Austin, Walken,Bardem, Brolin all were good in their parts.

Part 1 talked more with facial expressions, eyes of characters alongside backgroubd music. This one has his great scenes too, but 2nd half somehow lacks that perfection, for me.

Cgi was also good. But that oscar worthy bgm was seriosly missing for me😪

Merry Christmas
(2024)

Raghavan returns with brilliance
Firstly it is a suspense thriller. And a good one. Raghavan gives us a slow burn which gets really intense by the end.

But there are no scenes with loud bgm and slow edit, this is old school film, atleast as what i understand of films. Movie is mainly based on story, acting and crisp editing.

Acting of vijay sethupati and Katrina kaif is top notch. It is actually the emotional connect which makes the viewers more engrossed in the film. Innocence of Kat and the Neo noir Sethupati, it was a good mix.

Story is a little drag in the first half. But becomes super interesting the 2nd half. And the last 10 minutes are really good. It makes sitting in 1st half worth while.

Sethupati talked with his eyes in many scenes and i like him for that. Kat was also good in her role. Actually it is maybe her 2nd best acting after zero.

Overall, please watch it in cinema halls, such movies need audience support.

Animal
(2023)

Absolute wild animal
Man. Ranbeer kapoor, and his pind brothers, what a lit and elite squad. Absolutely run havon in the city.

Vanga simply says it bluntly on everyones face, i will dare to do what i want and show what i want and he has done that.

Vangas vision is completely fulfilled by ranbeer and all other actors. Movie becomes little boring in 2nd half. But the finale is good. It is about the real man to man fight.

Am still in awe of ranbeers role. This is his best acting till date. Kudos to all. Rashmika did grt in her part as well as anil kapoor. Bobby has also done good. This is a must watch theater exprnc.

Killers of the Flower Moon
(2023)

Its Cinema
Watched it yesterday. Scorcese is still giving us the cinema we all need. The long scenes with light yet little intense conversations. De caprio and Lilly gladstone and ofcourse Sir De niro, all make this movie a must watch. Read about the movie that most of the dresses were made by indian community only and the languages etc. Were also properly taught by them to the crew. Thats great. I just hope some current directors also go on to become great like Scorcese and peoduce such work which is based on reality.

Felt sad for the indian community. And hence it should be seen more and more by everyone so that the reality of the horrors faced by a community in United states of america can be understood.

Kohrra
(2023)

Darkness take my hand
Series is based on punjab, and everyone does very good acting and u will feel transported to the land of golden temple. But here people are same as everywhere else, fighting for property, doing illegal acts, trying to kill each other etc.

But i feel director has done a good job here, he doesnt leave us on some light ending, he shows that life gets tougher by each day and we need to deal with it the same way, we need to make tough decisions.

Crime is at rhe forefront but the personal lives of the characters takes rhe drivinf seat after first 2 episodes and here i liked the series even more.

I can say 7.9 is low rating for this, it deserves more appreciation. Please do watch.

Satyaprem Ki Katha
(2023)

Amidst comedy, movie handles a serious issue beautifully
I was expecting a comedy here but with that , it turned out to be even better by handling a serious issue.

Acting wise, all have done a very good job, kiara kartik , fathers mothers everyone played their role well.

Story is good, it is more on the entertainment side in 1st half but in second half, it gets mature. Though last few minutes were little stretched, but the issue shown, characters needed more time to accept and act on it, hence running time is justified.

Songs were ok ,but not very catchy, this movie couldve been blockbuster if even 2 songs had become hitm Overall, a very nice movie, happy bollywood made another good movie after 'Zara hatke zara bachke'
