Sam Bahadur (2023)
9/10
Inspirational, good movie.
24 May 2024
Everybody needs a hero! A film that talks of honor, integrity, self-respect, and all the higher qualities of a human. Indeed Sam Bahadur was a superhuman being. Thoroughly enjoyed watching the film,. The film focuses on the life of Sam rather than the war aspect. Not much war footage in the movie but still an excellent watch.

Sam inspires everyone. Anyone watching the movie would be filled with inspiration and Josh. How he rises through the ranks, how he keeps doing the right thing, how he stands for his values.

If only we would discover the secret of his strength, maybe all of us would be Sam Bahadur in our own lives.

A very beautifully made movie, thank you to the makers for making us aware of this icon known as Sam Hormusji Framji Jamshedji Manekshaw aka Sam Bahadur.

Mrunal Thakur all the way
7 May 2024
Mrunal Thakur is the most beautiful woman in the world. She could single-handedly carry the whole movie on her shoulders. She is such a delight to watch and another wonder of the world.

The story is entertaining and the hero does a good job too, But for me, everything was Mrunal Thakur. Her smile, her charisma, her aura, just everything about her commands admiration and respect. What an inspiration she is.

The movie is a good family watch, with lots of comedy and twists and turns. It is a love story. But the plot is good.

The movie echoes the inner feelings of every young office-goer. Recommended.

Great love story
16 April 2024
I saw this movie on Prime Videos and found it really soothing. It has a nice story, good acting, and great music. It was a wonderful love story with a bit of irony and tragedy. The movie explores family love, love between siblings, the desire to have a son, and competition to have a nice boy as one's boyfriend.

The actresses in the movie were an added bonus and lit up the screen at all times. Maureen played by Emily Warfield looked enchanting throughout the movie. Reese Witherspoon, who was very young at the time, showed her acting prowess in this movie.

Overall, it was an excellent film and I highly recommend it.

Premalu (2024)
9/10
Wow !
12 April 2024
One of the best love stories I have seen. Really soul-touching. This Awesome light-hearted comedy is suitable for the whole family.

How familarity develops into friendship and then familarity develops into love, is very well captured in this movie.

The young actors really acted very maturely. The story although a comedy has reminense of seriousness to it.

Many young people do keep looking for love but never find it, and end up being destroyed.

This story should serve as an inspiration to young minds, life should go on whether you find love or not.

Would certainly recommend watching this movie. Awesome.

WOW!
12 March 2024
WOW!

A salute to Vipul Amritlal Shah(Henceforth referred to as VAS ), for making such an awesome movie.

What a great watch, could also be called a documentary.

Never was aware of the agenda shown in this movie. This is surprising, worrying, and concerning.

Hope the authorities are doing something regarding the situation highlighted in the movie.

Special lesson for girls, " Do not have a weakness for love". Indeed do love, but please do not be so foolish as to become a mother before time.

Really Saddened to see such manipulation and trafficking.

But the movie is an awesome watch, not a single second of dullness.

VAS has always been a legend. VAS's crime patrol series on Sony has always been one of the best shows.

Sudipto Sen also deserves credit.

As a person who never watches Southern movies, didn't know any of the cast. Still, each actress was like a superstar. These actresses are like Jewels waiting to be discovered.

Hope to see this actress more in upcoming movies.

Overall an excellent film. Thank you VMS and team.

Dunki (2023)
10/10
This is why SRK is called the King.
10 March 2024
Awesome. Finally a good SRK film worthy of a watch. After the overdose of movies like Pathaan and Jawaan, Dunki is something more appealing to the soul.

For me, SRK shines more in a romantic role than in any other role.

Thoroughly enjoyed the whole 2 hours and 40 minutes of it. SRK is looking stunning along with the rest of the cast.

Raj Kumar Hirani has made a good movie. Would definitely recommend this one.

The movie also has a broader message of visas and immigration. Indeed Visa refusal is a major issue.

Along with the serious message of Visa's. The movie has a good dose of comedy and fun and will make you laugh.

Indeed the process of learning English in order to pass IELTES is a thoroughly enjoyable watch. An excellent entertainer.

Parking (2023)
10/10
Just WOW !
4 February 2024
Excellent. What a beautiful movie. A very common big problem. One could just replace the parking problem with so many other issues.

All bear the same characteristics. I faced the same issue with my two-wheeler but thankfully things did not escalate so much.

Everyone should adjust, just asking one person to bear everything is not just not fair. More education is needed in this regard. Simply do not do anything that could be an inconvenience to somebody else.

An engrossing thriller, not a moment of dullness, a simple movie that could beat many big-budget productions. Kudos to the makers for an excellent work.

A movie very close to the common man. Highly recommended.

A Good Person (2023)
9/10
Liked It, Good.
29 January 2024
How do they come up with such movies? So warm, so touching. You keep basking in the story long after the movie is over.

Morgan's voice is that precious Jewel the addition of which to any wearer would increase the wearer's worth 100-fold.

Good work by the makers of the movie. The story is strong and you do not get bored. God help any person who has to be in the same circumstances as Allison. It is really a huge burden to carry.

Came to watch the movie because of Morgan and I was not disappointed. Hope we can get more of Morgan for infinitely many years more.

Liked the movie and would definitely recommend it.

Indian Police Force (2024– )
6/10
Lacking , still a lot needed.
20 January 2024
The way Rohit highlights his name before and after each episode in big bold letters gives the impression that he feels he has created a masterpiece.

Feel sorry for the stellar star cast who could not say no to Rohit for the sake of future prospects.

Coming to the series, lack of content has been filled with meaningless lengthy car chases and lengthy action sequences, these add no value, only adding to the duration of the show.

It Portrays the Delhi police in a bad light, highlighting their incompetency who could not stop the first, second, and third serial blasts. Only successful in stopping the last few.

Rohit's foray into the small screen is better to be limited to a few because not sure to what level of intellect his shows appeal.

Less noise and more meaningful content are required in this show.

Background music is good and does help to cover the lack of content to some extent.

Excellent and inspirational.
26 November 2023
Excellent! Foreign interests have always been trying to impede the progress of India by various means,

Earlier those interests tried to stop us from manufacturing a nuclear bomb then those interests tried to stop us from making our own satellites and recently those interests even tried to stop us from making our own vaccines.

These interests keep manipulating and blackmailing us for their own benefit. Finally, strong leadership has decided to make India self-sufficient.

Was an awesome movie by Pallavi Joshi, something every Indian should be very proud of.

Not a single song yet there will be a song in your heart while you watch this movie. Not a love story but a movie that you will love. Not a single fight sequence yet the movie is full of action.

India is indeed blessed to be going through such a strong phase under able people at ICMR and the center. Any other govt. Might have succumbed to pressure.

Overall a 10/10 movie. Excellent. Bravo.

Requires Italian Crash course !
28 October 2023
What do you get when to try to mix a Burger with a Pizza?

Ans: A pizza with a Bug.

The same is the state of this movie.

It is mostly an Italian pizza ( Location, Dialogue, everything else ) with hints of American Burger ( Denzel Washington ) in it.

Movies require a crash course in Italian understanding.

In trying to impress both demographics it ends up pleasing neither.

Especially when you have subtitles that say " Speaks in Italian " rather than interpreting what is being said in Italian. It really becomes frustrating when it seems there are more Italian dialogues than English Dialogues.

Up to the first 20 minutes, I thought I was watching a non-English version of an English movie. Almost was about to quit when Denzel had pity on me and spoke a few sentences in English. It seems he could literally me through my Laptop camera.

The equalizer series lacked steam in this one. Perhaps it is time to retire the equalizer series and start with something new. Better to retire with pride than be forced out.

If you reading this before watching the movie then it is strongly recommended to get a version that has complete subtilies of all the Italian dialogue, if such a version does not exist then please join an Italian crash course.

Or like me, you would be lost.

Little lengthy for its essence.
28 October 2023
Although the action sequences are good the movie is biased and overrated by MI fans.

How do you make a movie 2 hours 46 minutes long?

Ans: Fill it with boring lengthy dialogue sequences in between some action. One can easily skip the lengthy monotonous dialogues or fillers as they rightly should be called and still not lose the plot.

It could have been better to make a smaller interesting movie with fewer of the boring parts than an overly extended long movie.

And please stop with the masking thing! It has become too much of a cliche. It seems the creators of MI resort to masking whenever they have no remedy to get out of a sticky situation.

Is it becoming too predictable and being used in excess?

Tom Cruise's Jack Reacher celebrates the greatness of a human being better than this movie.

Overall the movie lacks the soul and warmth that makes a really good watch. The movie leaves me still hungry for more entertainment as this movie could not quench my thirst. Of course watch the movie for its action sequences only, except nothing out of the ordinary from his movie.

Hope it helps.

Very Good
12 October 2023
Very Good.

Thoroughly engaging.

Can't imagine how they even managed the shooting, looks like a real hospital, that too under construction. Thoroughly realistic. Chaos.

Inspirational.

Star cast with mature acting. Oscar-worthy. Intense.

It is hard to single out any single individual for his or great acting, The whole cast works very well like a single cohesive team.

Very soothing soul soul-provoking background music. Mr. Nikkhil Advani has done a very good job.

A very big thank you to all those involved in the making of this masterpiece.

Looking forward to more, from you guys.

Highly recommended.

OMG 2 (2023)

Outstanding
8 October 2023
Outstanding, the most populated country in the world definitely needs this message.

The movie that will make you think. Miles ahead of many recent so-called blockbusters by superstars.

The movie asks some very tough questions.

It definitely is a progress in thought. Indeed the Indian Gurukul education incorporated every aspect of education. We need to unravel more of the secrets of the lost Indian Gurukul system.

Very brave movie, very few creators will dare to venture this route. Tons of respect for Mr. Amit Rai, for this outstanding courageous movie.

Looking forward to more such movies from you, Sir!

At the rate at which the population of India is increasing, we definitely need to be educated about this issue.

Watching this on a laptop with earphones in a private space is a different story altogether.

But watching this along with the 3 or 4 generations in your family ...will require some progress.

The movie may still be very strong for some people especially females, not sure if my mom herself would be comfortable watching it along with my father. But I do hope both my mum and dad watch it.

I myself do practice the act and have been guilty of it my whole life, this movie made me think differently.

A very brave movie, also totally entertaining. Very soothing music too. Very highly recommended.

Beautiful story
10 September 2023
Beautiful and gripping story, does start off a little on the slow side but then when the Ginni starts narrating the story it is a wonderful feast.

Do not feel the need to skip bits and parts, the story should hold your attention and keep you wondering how is it going to end.

Some sections of the movie are meant for mature audiences only especially in certain parts of the world, but such scenes are inclined more towards art than vulgarity.

Overall good entertainment, and the movie should offer good rejuvenation after a tiring day.

The story is inspired from the old folk tale of Aladdin and the magic lamp.

Excellent
27 July 2023
Excellent, beautiful, Thought-provoking, inspirational, makes you cry, makes you laugh. 2:48 minutes seemed less, I could watch this movie the whole day if it were longer. A Masterpiece. Sahid Kapoor in his long hair looked dashing, Mrunal is indeed a diva. It is always a pleasure to watch Mrunal, she is indeed a queen.

A masterpiece, thank you to the makers and cast of the film. A film that touches you right in the heart. Very far from nonsensical gibberish movies such as Pathan.

We could have more of such high-quality movies, not a second of dullness. The songs are also good, especially the one played during the end credits. Highly recommended.

Beautiful
21 July 2023
A feel-good movie. Those of who are bored of love stories can surely try this one. Thoroughly enjoyed this one. Also a history lesson. Indeed some wise words were spoken in the movie. A comedy, A love story, and as mentioned also a history lesson. Fully worthy of your time, Janhvi and Varun grace the screen. Also, the songs and background score are a treat to the ear. Would definitely recommend this one. Watched it on the 21 July 23 and in IMDB it was showing as 21 July 23 as the release date so maybe I was one of the first people to watch it. Went to IMDB to review it, but strangely there were no options to review or rate it. Now finally able to review it when the option to review is available. Good movie NOT just another boring love story. Well done Varun, Janhvi, and all those involved in the making of the film. Looking forward to more like this.

Follow your Joy
19 July 2023
The pursuit of your passion is never futile. Against all odds, if you pursue your heart you will ultimately reap the benefits. It's easy to follow the crowd, it's easy to get a job and settle down but it's very difficult to listen to your heart and follow your goals. The movie is excellent there is not a single second of boredom, thoroughly enjoyed the whole 2+ hours of it. The music is also uplifting. Kept watching the screen even when the end credits were rolling, still basking in the afterglow of the movie. The movie is properly rated in IMDB it is indeed worthy of an 8+ rating. Highly recommended.

Impactful, good.
2 July 2023
Strong movie, with a strong message. Justice will be finally delivered if not by man then definitely by God. The circumstances faced by the mother are totally unimaginable. Very well portrayed in the movie. Profound, impactful movie. One only wonders what the future hold for us with the war in Ukraine and the restlessness in France, only God knows how many such incidents could be in the making, the stories of which we would get to know many years later, just as this movie tells the story of an incident that happened 66 years earlier. Highly recommended, engaging, and worthy of your precious time.

Very good,excellent.
24 June 2023
Work is happiness. Happy to be tired. These truths people only realized when people have nothing to do.

While working we crave for holidays but when there are no holidays to take then we understand the meaning and importance of work.

This movie is a clear testament to that. Living with pride, working, keep your head high. One of the best dialogue in the movie was " I can't begin to explain the joy we feel at the end of the day, just to be a little tired".

Very good movie , keeps you engaged from the moment the plot is revealed. From the The Banshees of Inisherin to The Grand Seduction Brendan Gleeson has done a wonderful job.

Wonderful watch.

Really good
30 May 2023
The movie is a bit underrated. Bill Pullman is as excellent as always, what a fine actor.

The movie is engaging and engrossing. A pure thriller, suspense, and mystery. There was not a dull moment in the whole story.

Totally Worth your time, the movie has a surprise ending. Apart from a crime story this also has a love story, love sees no age.

Love is portrayed beautifully in this movie, love between old and young. The relationship between the family is tested.

Overall a very good movie, however, it seems to be underrated here.

Totally worth your time, the movie has a suprise ending. Apart from a crime story this also has a love story, love sees no age.

Love is potrayed beautifully in this movie , love between old and young. Realtionship between the family is tested.

Intense, awesome, cliffhanger, and nail-biter. Some real problems have been addressed in this series.

Apart from the criminal angle, we see how even the police have personal problems at home, and how they must balance professional and private life. How wives become insecure of their husbands. The love angles in the series are also brilliant. Everyone seems to be falling in love with the hot chick, yet no one seems to be saying so. But the criminal is truly brilliant.

How he manages to evade being captured again and again is truly fascinating. Could have watched another ten episodes without getting bored. Unlike some other series where I cannot even finish one episode.

Truly brilliant story, and brilliant acting. If we have more such quality content our life would become truly enjoyable. Thank you from my heart to all who were involved in this masterpiece.

This serious series will make you smile from time to time because indeed some serious flaws of society have been highlighted. The subject of marriage and settings its expectations right is also highlighted in this series.

A gem of a movie. Wow! What a movie. Makes you laugh, and makes you cry. The love part is really wonderful. Wanted to fall in love again. Real emotions come into play while watching this movie. Tom Hanks is a genius always.

The movie is wonderful, to say the least. It is not a waste of your precious time.

You should enjoy it, keeps you engaged, not a single second of dullness. The background music is apt for every occasion. The movie is filled with love, laughter, happiness, sadness, anger, and all the other strong emotions that one can think of.

The movie is watchable together by the whole family. This is a definite yes, highly recommended.

Good
24 March 2023
Seems pretty similar to flight of the Phoenix. Just that instead of a desert here we have a jungle. The story is exciting and not boring. Watchable. Gerald butler does a good job. The action is good.

Does provide good entertainment and good use of one's time.

The movie is clean and watchable with kids and families. Lengthwise also it is not too long. The background music is engaging and does hold our attention.

The rest of the crew does a good job supporting the lead actor. Just that it is not an entirely original idea, there have been many similar movies in the past but this one gets a little too close to the flight of the phoenix starring Dennis Quaid.

Overall a good entertainer. Recommended.

Powerful, strong, suspenseful. A thriller, An art what a wonderful movie. Take a cue, world, this is how a movie should be. Food for the soul. Time well invested. Brendon Fraser looks really cute.

The movie has a deep message and is very engaging. The whole movie is centered in a room yet you do not feel the need for anything else. The conversations have a deep message and strong emotions connected to them. You do not mind listening to the conversations as the subject is very interesting.

The movie deals with some hard facts of life and in a way teaches us what we should not do in similar circumstances. The acting is too good, Brendon shines like a star. I Really wonder how the creators of the movie made him look like that.

Overall really high-quality movie. Awesome. Thank you.
