Chhichhore, very quickly, turned unbearable because of the soulless acting done by the majority of actors. From the moment Sushant Singh Rajput showed up, there were very few moments of enjoyment. The only actors who acted well were Varun Sharma and Tahir Bashin, and to a moderate extent, Prateik Babbar. Sushant failed his act and so did Shraddha Kapoor. Sushant and Shraddha didn't play realistic parents at all. Naveen Polishetty and Tushar Pandey did only overacting, not entertaining even for 5 seconds. Makeup head Preetisheel Singh did the worst makeup job that I've ever seen. One major move for showing the cast getting old was to make them bald, or push their hairline back. Absolutely no work was done on their skin to show them old for real. In the story, the H4 people were facing unbeaten champions from H3. How easy was this job? Just yell at H3 players to bring their confidence down?! Is that how it works? How can a carrom player start shivering and lose a shot because a few opponents are yelling?? Only Chhichhore logic can make that happen. H3 champs fell prey to the Losers very easily, but the opposite didn't happen. H3 guys failed to bring H4's confidence down. Obviously, a reigning champion team can easily fall prey to Losers! That is straightforward, right? By the mid of the third quarter, I couldn't watch the non-sense that was going on. It was utter how easily H4 marched towards victory after receiving the badge of LOSERS. It was super unrealistic. This was a great story, but the actors ruined it. Add to that the unrealistic turns and, of course, their older selves.

(1 spoiler ahead) Bharat Ane Nenu is basically Nayak 2.0. This is the first Mahesh Babu film I have ever watched, and his acting is impressive. Six stars are for Mahesh and the story line which puts emphasis on the improvement of India. Now, why not more stars? The reason is, again, "Nayak 2.0". We are done with overly honest, sincere heroes being shown in films where the public has no other work to do except putting their heads in the feet of the protagonist. Second, the idea of villanious Varadarajulu putting Bharath in the CM's position doesn't make enough sense. Third, the role played by Kiara Advani was so weak in comparison to Mahesh's, why is this happening all the time? why not stronger roles for female actors? And fourth, the super useless superhero fighting scenes. There are more small things that disappoint, but, Mahesh and the good intention of the story carry the film.

**A few spoilers ahead**

Nobody was able to save this movie, nobody tried to save it. "Lock" is just another chaotic movie by Smeep Kang, but this time the story looked different and a little promising until it was destroyed by all the acting. Nobody acted well except Ghuggi, although he didn't show his true act, maybe he himself knew that the story and direction were horrible. The story has no soul at all, I tried my best to get some laughs from it, but failure! Karamjit Anmol is seen having a face off with the main character played by Smeep Kang himself. But Anmol's character disappeared and the movie ended, nobody knows if the fight was over or what. Same way, Sippy Gill appeared as friend/love interest of Smeep Kang's daughter, but nobody knows where this character went.

If I prepare a list of horrible acting, everybody will be on the list except Ghuggi, because Ghuggi can't act bad, he is an actor inside, although he didn't do any good to the movie.
