Gandhi Godse Ek Yudh
(2023)

Maestro is back
Raj Kumar Santoshi man behind movies like Ghayal,Damini,Andaz Apna Apna ,Barsaat,Ghatak,China Gate,Pukar,The legend of Bhagat Singh,Lajja and others is back with a bang after almost 10 yrs .

Set in an imaginary world where Gandhiji survives the assassination attempt and he comes face to face with Godse and they two share their vicharon ka yudh.

If facts are to believed are true that he didn't pressurised for 55 crore aid to Pakistan then he was made a scapegoat. That scene was the finest in the movie .

Performance wise story is the hero.

Dipak antani as Gandhiji is fab so is Chinmay .

Music cinematography is top notch .

Tanisha Santoshi gives a decent performance at the beginning but a little below average in the emotional part but she will improve in coming years .

Welcome Back Maestro ! RajKumar Santoshi.

Avatar: The Way of Water
(2022)

Visually spectacular
I would have given 10 but with its length I think it overstretched by at least 1 hour. So 3 star deducted .

James Cameroon i felt overdid this time on length .story wise it has referred to 5 elements according to hinduism .

First one he covered earth now water with remaining 3 to come in it can very well focus on fire,wind and space .

Story wise it turned out to be personal revenge story rather than focusing on destruction of Pandora this time water .

Visually no one can counter this movie .a spectacle to watch .

Had director reduced the length by 1 hour it would have been an ideal watch.

However hats off to magician James Cameroon only he can pull of the winner in this 5 part mega movie series .

Code Name: Tiranga
(2022)

Not bad but could have been better
Acting -rajat Kapoor good Lead actor -sandhu decent Parineeti Chopra -fabulous in few scenes like at the beginning but during chase scenes it think she tried imitating terminators .She could have emoted it better . She looked fab in black t shirt .How drastically has she changed her physique is commendable

Sharad kelkar-decent actor but wasted here ISI agent - veteran actor but not fully utilised here Cinematography -excellent the strongest USP of this movie Music --decent enjoyed humming duma dum mast kalandar.

BGS-good Direction --decent but seems he played too kuch of Max Payne or tomb raider video games that's why the climax action felt like watching those games video .

Overall good one timer but could have better Never mind box office flop but it will gain recognition in OTT platforms .

Thar
(2022)

Below average
Below average movie with Solid performances by Anil Kapoor and Satish Kaushik .actor who played Fatima's husband does a decent job with limited screen time .

Anil Kapoor has to realise his son can't act .. Every father wants to relaunch his son but isse nahin ho paayega .his expressions emotions are absolutely plain. Fatima doesn't have much to do other than showing her assets .. Satish Kaushik is brilliant

Cinematography and location are brilliant but I feel drone cameras was overused .. Story wise if harshvardhan was good would have made sense he made sure film sinks.

No Time to Die
(2021)

Time to move on...
After having several script and director changes 25th Bond Movie No time to die is finally out and is not worthy film to say good bye to Daniel Craig.

This movie comes straight out of lacklusture writing and heavily influenced by 90s bollywood movies .. Apart from few initial action chase and stunts nothing is worth more to take credit of.

One actress who definately lit up otherwise very damp atmosphere of the film was.actress who played Paloma ...

Farewell Daniel Craig hope they find worthy successor to you in future bond films.

Sooryavanshi

Bakwaas
All the knowledge is up for toss while watching this movie .

I can proudly say I did a savings of 800 bucks when we decided not to see this movie in big screen .

Akshay Kumar is ATS chief who wants to save Mumbai but what is Katrina doing in the movie .

Sikandar kher chase sequence was unnecessary and added to give him a feel of 70 mm Screen .. Kumud mishra was good in his minor role but was let out by poor execution by rohit shetty and team And lastly when NSG arrives it is still Mumbai police who is doing dishoom dishoom and they are mute spectators .when NSG arrives it is mandatory state level police takes a backseat and let them hunt .

Better luck next rohit shetty u were good till Bol Bachchan but slowly ur movies are being repetitive and boring specially if u have watched money heist previous day .

Dhamaka
(2021)

Bakwaas ...
Ram Madhvani the director caught my eye when I saw promos of Talismaan unfortunately the movie never went beyond the promos .. He made Neerja which was super only movie where dumb actress like Sonam Kapoor performed brilliantly .However with is latest venture Dhamaka he might have lost his thinking cap when trying to show style over substance .

Kartik as anchor is misfit for the role .Mrunal was good but she has limited screen time equally irritating are amruta Subhash and actor who played counter terrorism member was clueless right from start to end .. How can one not understand a daily wage labour can not hack the system plus make simultaneous phone calls by different IPs .. Give this one a miss if u have anything else to do .

Madam Chief Minister
(2021)

Bakwaas
Subhash lapped at best should stick on making jolly llb series. MCM is not only boring but too paint acted by lead actress who as CM was looking rubbish with her reference being ex CM Mayawati.. There are references to guest house kaand but is written very weakly.. Mr. Kapoor please come with Jolly LLB part 3 and m sure u will be good at that

Dark Places, Deadly Illusions
(2021)

Lost midway
Movie was lrogressing very nicely until mary screams at grace for sleeping with her husband.. Then the series if scenes was actually a no brainer ... Good thing about the movie is character who played grace who was brilliant at first but awful at the end.

Swami Dada
(1982)

Spirit of humanity
Watch it if u r fond of impressive story telling . This film celebrates humanity and asks everyone to rise above Caste,religion.

Ons very impressive dialogue from the movie summarises the movie "insaan to insaan hota hain kya raja kya fakir"

Dil Bechara
(2020)

Ek tha raja ek thi rani do mar gaye khatam kahani
Ek tha raja ek thi rani doni mar gaye khatam kahani .Sushant's legacy will never end and his last outing brought tears into my eyes thinking about my life and after effects on my kid .Sushant and sanjana is there in almost every frame of the movie and both of them complement each other very well. It should have been released in theatres but .. Hope his killers get fate worae than death and his smiling face will haunt them for rest of their life .

Shikara
(2020)

Superb movie
No idea why this movie was criticised ..it is beautifully shot beautifully told and amazinh chemistry between lead actors .Because there was no massacre shown doesn't mean movie is of islamic agenda.Lead actress is a fune performer and wish she comes more on screen.its a love story guys against backdrop of KP's exodus ... Kudos

Chhupa Rustam
(1973)

Why no reviews till date
Like many Vijay anand's films these project was underrated .Classic thriller similar to lines of Jewel Theif and Johny Mera Naam Goldie himself played a character that is true to his nature very emotional from within but bindaas from outside. A good movie fun some of the aerial shots splendidly shot.

Can also be called an inspiration for famous Nicolas Cage Movie "National Treasure" .

Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani
(2000)

Still relatable to today's media circus.
Movie was way ahead of its time. Couldn't understand then why the film flopped may be because of overacting by SRK or georgia's effect. People expected a romcon but turned to be product which was attempted before in main azad hoon. It is still reparable to today's media circus where politics and media barons the move hand in hand.

The Verdict - State Vs Nanavati
(2019)

Brilliant
Kudos to series writers and creators for making such riveting series out of an historical conduct.Rustom was bad because it was favouring particular community whereas this one doesn't take sides but has put some actual facts on screen. Sumeet vyas as Ram Jethmalani is awesome but Manav koul is an average performer here. But the star of the series is Makarand Deshpande who from a weak lawyer shines during the middle of court proceedings. Also ably supported by Swanand Kirkire as Justice Mehta .Kubra has supported well as well as Elli. Over all must watch this series.

Once Again
(2018)

Romance has no age
Neeraj kabi and Shefali Shah are natural in front of camera. There is one more character in the movie that is city's loneliness which is in sync with two lead actors feelings. I am not going to reveal much of the story but perfect movie for Shefali and Neeraj fans. From Satya to Once again she has performed variety of roles and this will be rated as one of her best. Kudos to The Team.

Sahib Bahadur
(1977)

Movie well ahead of its time
Absolute laugh riot this movie. Made well ahead of its time. It's a kind of situational comedy attempted in Andaz apna Anna. Well about the movie. There are group of corrupt officers who mistakely assume a orcehestran member to be of top CBI officer. To please him they try everything that's possible and what follows is hilarious turn of events. Main star of this movie is Late Om Prakash. Watch out for his reaction when he confesses of taking bribes to astrologer.
