Animal (I) (2023)
1/10
Never did I think I would mark down a movie to a 1 star and think its too much of an appreciation for such a movie.
27 January 2024
I feel ...wish there was a Film-Tribunal with "Intellectual People" that could enforce a directive after watching a movie "Pre-release" and stop such Absurd movies from reaching the massess that just watch a Movie because a Certain Filmstar is in it...and make it famous/a hit just coz.they go Gaga over this persons riches and/or looks... Irrespective how deplorable the movie is... This strong-handed Tribunal (Even though impossible in today's underachieving 30s reel to 3 min. Video world..) should also have the power to reprimand such Directors, Writers from making another movie new or sequel... Until they prove themselves worthy of being at such a high post of Director/Writer of Hindi movies that unfortunately mold/shape the minds of todays Filmgoer Youth that are easily swayed into believing... "If it happens in reel life..it happens in real life too." .. The movie got me gasping for a single scene that made sense in this movie.. And unfortunately in the 3.5hrs of pure-garbage...NEVER CAME. The back story,the moral of the story was great... And, could have been beautifully written for... A Fathers role in shaping his Childrens future and how a correct childhood full of good makes for better adults in the future... But, sadly such beauty never came... The movie is full of nonsensical scenes and untoward violence that was truly ugly for the world to see... The acting of Rasmika Mandhana and Shakti Kapoor (I would prefer watching Shakti Kapoor doing Dhakki-Chikki ~ Dhakki Chikki ~ Dhakk... Than watching this movie, anyday) was better than the S-Show that Ranbir and the others put on... Anil Kapoor was good in his role... Bobby Deol was, is and always will be a brilliant actor just Born in the wrong era of nitwits.

I still feel...this movie should not have been allowed to release... And, everyone that liked this movie or gave it anything more than 5 stars...and, gave the movie any success (Which i know is a Hit)... Should have their Voter-IDs revoked... And, should be made to watch quality entertainers like 12th Fail, IB71 and Many other beautiful Cinematic masterpieces that make Bollywoods true movie lovers Proud... Instead of these Masala Blockbusters that fill the innocent, easily-manipulated minds of Young Movie buffs with wrong notions of an intelligent working society.

12th Fail (2023)
10/10
Just saying: Every 9 outta 10 review out here is unfair.. This Movie deserves a 10... Not even a 9.9...A perfect 10 outta 10...Simple.
23 January 2024
In simple words... Have watched this movie 3 times already... But, still feel its 1 time too less. From the time the movie begins right upto the last scene is Pure Genius... Vikrant Massey is Simply Perfect as SIR MANOJ... Medha Shankar was the Incredible Girlfriend that every Man wants to make his Wife ... It felt as though they were moulded precisely for these roles. Loved the Best friend in Pritam Pandey-Jealous that I don't have one as him, Gauri Sir was the selfless Sir/Friend that every person should have in their growing-up life..and every character in the movie perfectly complimented each other making this One-of the Best ~ If not THE BEST Movie I've Ever seen. Even Tutuls emotions and The Connection with Manoj's Best Friend and Brother back in Chambal... Incredibly captured and made Brilliantly by VVC...< Salute to you Sir> for bringing this True Story to Life.. And allowing my Eyes to Bear witness to this Beautiful ~Beautiful Movie unfold in all its Glory on the Big Screen as well as on The OTT platform.

@MedhaShankr you Rock 🤘 and will continue to break the Nepo-barrier to greatness. And, @VikrantM...you got us speechless... Go watch it On The Big Screens... Its Worth it...

Prey (I) (2022)
9/10
An Amazing movie that didn't need an expensive star-cast to make it excellent.
8 October 2022
As the title of my review goes... I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and it didnt need an expensive star-cast to make it a fantastic nail-biter sci-fi thriller. Naru and (The Dog) Sarii brought me to the edge of my seat with their praiseworthy performance. The movie along with its timeline was perfectly made...even the other cast including Naru's Brother and ofcourse the man wjo played the Predator did a great job taking the movie along to its best outcome.

The reduction of 1 star (Actually just 1/2 a star) is for two reasons: Not glorifying the accolade the girl had achieved in the end... When the prey becomes the predator the whole dynamics and body language of the prey should change due to the recently achieved glory.

Moonfall (2022)
8/10
I feel people are just being mean to this movie
7 July 2022
Its a nice concept.. The theoretical use of Dyson Sphere is already on papers... And the Scifi plot of the movie makes sense... I don't know why this movie is so badly rated on IMDb. There a little kinks here and there.. But, the premise and the plot are atleast worth 8 stars. The acting is not bad too... I liked the use of physics in making an actual Sci-fi movie too...

Jai Bhim (2021)
9/10
Any review short of 8 stars is by an unfortunate mind
25 November 2021
I am personally giving this movie a 9 outta 10 ... because, for me... It was a movie that the world should see... It covered every aspect a "Based on true-story" movie should. The 1 star reduction is for the unnecessary dramatics of Tamil-Telegu-Malyalam moviesc, which was not needed in a already perfect movie. Love the accuracy of the truth the writters and director/producers have put into this movie... And hope it opens the eyes of a few elite that are blind to this fact.. And that it still very much exist in our "so-called futuristic Country"...

Saina (2021)
8/10
Watch this movie.. On #AmazonPrime
27 April 2021
Highly disappointed with the rating this movie has achieved on IMDB... Its at 3.7 now... I know Parineeti has her ups and downs when it comes to acting... But, that doesn't make this biopic anywhere as bad as the ratings suggest. She has given it her best. The Head coach Rajan and Supporting Mom n Dad, the boyfriend etc... Have done a good acting job

Its the story of Our Very Own #SainaNehwal ... Our Indian Sports Hero that has achieved much more than any other INDIAN badminton player has EVER (both Male and Female) achieved. She has been bestowed with 4 NATIONAL AWARDS for Sports. The least we can do is ignore the acting glitches and give respect to the hardships our very own player has seen growing up... & also the efforts the filmmakers and supporting roles have put in.

Its an approved biopic by Saina Nehwal... So it definitely isn't some baseless story. I give it a 7.5 outta 10.. But definitely not below average, like many have given it 1 star... Which is unbelievable... #Kudos to #SainaNehwal... For her achievements.

Chaos Walking (2021)
8/10
Great Storyline... Waiting for the other 2.parts of this Trilogy to be made into movies
8 April 2021
Loved the story line of the best selling novel made into first of 3 movies. I wish they had gotten the spackle more involved into the movie... But, its probably the 1st movie of the trilogy... Hence, waiting eagerly for the next part to see how we as aliens can disrupt other potential earths for the species that live there.

Brilliant acting... by Tom Holland and Daisy Ridley as Todd and Viola respectively...as well as the other supporting roles.

Enjoyed this movie thoroughly.

Coolie No. 1 (2020)
1/10
Anyone who gives this more than 1 star is probably paid reviews
16 January 2021
I dont usually do this... I.e. Give 1 star to any movie.. Coz of the hardwork that goes into making it. But, thw truth is... i would give ZERO RATING IF I COULD to this "Specific" movie. But, I am giving this one star for "Varun Dhawan's" acting effort. He maybe a product of nepotism... But, it is his only bad-luck... As he is forced to do such Hopeless Masala movies. I hope he breaks free and does some better movies... That do not insult India at the world cinema level. The Movie is Horrible, Worse than any priyadarshani movie ending too... And it is a Disgrace to Bollywood itself. Coz it portrays our movies in a bad light, as in, in todays media world... Such movies are launched on an International Podium and the world judges us as per the quality of such movies.

Gods of Egypt (2016)
9/10
Unfair rating of 5.4 of IMDB
17 October 2020
Looking at an average rating of 5.4 its easy to skip this awesome movie. But, trust me this movie is an easy 8.5 to 9. I believe the average ratings here are totally unfair. The movie is Awesome and the actors play their parts perfectly. Especially Gerard Butler in the negative roll is outstanding and so is the "King Slayer" in the positive role.

Fun, Relaxed And Witty
5 February 2020
Its a refreshing, light fun comedy. Awkwafina is the cutest. She engages the viewer with her comic personality and makes you wanna watch the show. All charaters are fun and well placed In the show. There are a bunch of laughs from time to time and the whole chilled theme keeps you wanting more

Dark Waters (2019)
10/10
Powerfull, Powefull Movie
19 January 2020
From the onset right to the end this movie is a perfect depiction of the justice system. Even in places like america.... The movie is a slap of reality to everyone who lives in this heinous world of today (And yesterday). How Humans are the worst /and the best of Gods Creations. About how low we can stoop /and how high we can rise if we put our minds to it. Amazing portrayal by Mark Ruffalo of a Human Being that stood by his morals and sympathised with people even though the entire system was made to make him give up. He is an excellent actor. I hope this movie is seen throughout the world and helps people rise up and fight the powerful when they use their "resources" to cause inhumane acts against humanity. GREAT MOVIE ----- A MUST WATCH

The Office (2019– )
10/10
Changing my 9 to a 10 after Season 2.... (Want a season 3) Its a refreshing comedy
9 July 2019
I have kept my Season 1 review below in brackets and updating my review after season 2: 1stly, as the heading clearly states : i am increasing the rating to 10 🌟 after watching the 2nd season of this show... I can't believe it... But, #TheOffice cast and crew has taken the show a notch above the 1st season....w.r.t. everything. There was a little overacting and flaws in the 1st season that made me give them 9 outta 10 for season-1. But, in this season they learned from their mistakes and got all aspects in order. Well done.... Enjoying it... I hope there is a season 3 and IMDB allows 11star 🌟 rating by then... Coz i know it will only get better (the show) .... Love it.... Don't change any aspect.... Just carry-on from where you left off.... Love all of the characters... Thank you Producer and Director for such a healthy and modern comedy in this age of crass tv comedy shows... And Thank you #Hotstar and *AmazonFireStick for getting sick shows to my tv screen



(After Season 1 : This is my 1st time rating/reviewing a hindi series. But, i think this show does deserve a 9 outta 10 rating. Its a refreshing.... Refreshingly enjoyable change from the B.S. 🐮💩 Indian tv series are showing us in the name of comedy. I bet you that all the persons downrating this show laugh at senseless, flavourless, baseless jokes from Kapil Sharma/Bharti/Ali azgar show jokes... Whuch are repetitive and mostly lame. This show beings in simple sweet relationships an everyday person shares in every office and a healthy comic relief that comes with it. Enjoy it with my entire family. Instead of making a mockery of these kinda shows... We must support them and stop other senseless kinda comedy shows that are cliché revolving around teasing/insulting people, jikes abouts womens anatomy and male chauvinism... Cheers to the entire team of #TheOfficeIndia.)

Chernobyl (2019)
10/10
Any and every person that gave this show any less than 10 stars is unjust.
6 June 2019
This show should've had an extra column to give more stars than just 10. Coz nothing.... NOTHING in this show was out of place or done wrongly. All the actors did a PERFECT job in their characters and presented the truth about Chernobyl in the best possible way. The show in just 5 eposides describes Humans in the best possible way... There were many who showed Selfishness, Ego and down right greed, callousness, irresponsibility and carelessness.... But,there were hundreds who went above and beyond for their country, its people and just for humanity....without consideration even for their lives. What a web series.... Thank you #Hotstar... I have given many series 10 stars... But this is the only series i wish i could go above and beyond 10 stars for.

What a surprisingly well made movie (Without an overly-expensive star cast)
4 April 2019
Watched this movie with my entire family which comprised of members from all age groups, Kids Early millennials , millennials, middle aged and senior citizens. It turned out to be a movie that all the age groups enjoyed. It was a well mixed and well made movie which had a little of all the genres, brought together to make an all-round entertainer. It had good enjoyable comedy, drama, romcom(baby-crushes), crime (dirty-game-politics) adventure, docudrama, family, educational, sports. By the end of the movie the entire family had a smile on our faces and everyone on some level or the other related with it, all ages alike. The actors performed their characters perfectly. Divya Dutta and Ranvir Shorey were perfect in the roles. The 4 naughty young boys and the extra girl too were fun to watch in their parts. But, the best part about the movie was firstly "The Tennis" approach that has never been used in a bollywood movie (that brought the game to the movies) and Mainly the Kiddo ANUSHKA Singh (Namely Dakshata Patel) was Truly Amazing in her role and also the game she played. She actually brought the entire movie together and tethered the movie to make it a well rounded movie experience that can attract crowds. Go watch it and see for your selves. Well done Writer/Producer/ Director and all that brought this movie to the big screen. And Cheers to all the cast for doing such good jobs.

A Well-blended treat
15 March 2019
As "My Title" suggests, its the perfect blend of all the ingredients that attract a viewer to watch a tv/web series. It has everything Comedy, action, drama, love, sexual-tension, locations etc, etc. Love each and every character. A shout-out to Vir Das making it to hollywood (But, i do suggest he dial the acting down a notch: "If you are reading, no need to act like a star, you already are one....just be yourself. By pushing into it your acting is getting a little to the over-acting side". (But other than that his character is well placed and important and he does it justice.) Hope an entire season follows and this show grows out into many such seasons.... Love It.

Four More Shots Please (2019–2022)
8/10
Loved the show
27 January 2019
Loved the show, enjoyed it thoroughly with my wife. Looking at these 4 women characters i thought to myself, "What if all the women of our country were like them.....our country would be a paradise." - A little vulnerable, a little hypocritical but, a lot more confident and open about their feelings.. Standing up-to their stereotypical "Log kya kahenge?" families and tackling their problems head on. At times being shy/coy at times but, mostly being bold and witty. Well done #DJBani a.k.a. #Gurbani, # KirtiKulhari #SayaniGupta , #MaanviGagroo for a wonderful display of bold-ideas in an orthodox country that doesn't wish to open its eyes to the problems that it is facing. Great work by the Male star-cast as well, special shout out to #Prateik for a character well played..... And, last but not the least a standing ovation to the writer, creator, dialogue writer and director of the series....who showcased this series to us....waiting for more of this kind of wonderful work. Downgrading it by 2 stars, Half for milind soman : He may look good, but, no acting skills(I know its not worth loosing a star over...but, he is now loosing the boyish-charm that he had once. Needs to shape up to his age) And the one and a half star for a lil clichéd writing her and there, the best friends fighting (Why do girls havta be showed as self-centered even when they are BFFs for 3yrs) and also throughout the running episodes a few parts were very " Ab yeh hoga" (Now this will happen) type feeling...and they actually did.

None-The-Less, Will wait for the Second season or the second half of the 1st season. Cheers Guys.

I Dont believe this Amazing Movie has an aggregate of below 7
8 December 2018
As my title suggests, i think this movie should be way up in the 8's. I, Myself have given it a 10 outta 10 and this movie simply left all the memories of the old "Crappy" kiddish Mowgli movies behind. Dancing Bears, Giggling wolves and singing monkeys were good and entertaining when we were kids. This movie relates to the jungle stereotype and measures upto the "Hunt or get hunted" lifestyles in a dense jungle. I am proud of the #Netflix community that helped make this movie a reality and for basing their trust onto the writers and makers of this movie and giving them a platform to showcase such an amazing movie. By, the time this movie ended, i wondered why did i like the children's Mowgli-Movies from my past until now. this movie simply replaced all the previous movie-nostalgia i had and yet brought back fond memories of watching it in the earlier days....BRAVO MATE BRRRRRRRRRRAVO........ I hope, in the future some writers, directors and producers remake such kinda movies and a Platform like Netflix gives them a chance to portray such craftsmanship that the makers of these movies have displayed.

A Really unbelievable scenario made into a very believable TV series
17 October 2018
The plot is really amazing and the writer has brought an amazing concept to life. All the characters play their parts perfectly to make us believe this well sorted unbelievable phenomena. From time to time we get lost in the concept and wonder what if this would happen to all of us. Each episode is better than the previous. The entire family enjoys watching it.

FBI (2018– )
9/10
Watched it ...........Loved it......
17 October 2018
Enjoy each and every minute of this well made show. Love the main lead (Both of them). Its really fun to watch and opens our minds to so many situations that may be occurring in an FBI agents day-to-day life. I know its dramatized and there is a little showmanship. But, people need to realize its a Tv series a.k.a. a soap opera. If they dont add a little drama how will anyones life be interesting to watch. Loved the 1st four episodes. All must watch it and please dont go around comparing it to a real FBI feild agents life. Just enjoy how close this series gets to it.

One Time - Great watch
7 October 2018
A book by Agatha Christie made into a movie thats worth a one time watch. Well made. Good characters and all have acted well. At times there is over dramatization which doesn't make the movie worth 10 stars. Even the MAin lead "Hercule" at times is over acting - Hence the 8 stars. But its a great book and the story is smart for a Great one time watch

A fairly average movie but, too kiddish for the franchise
22 September 2018
Firstly, let me start by saying i never give bad reviews (Below 7) ...If i feel a movie is not to my liking, i just do not down-grade it. By which i mean if a movie is worth 5 or less i just dont review / rate it coz its my opinion of that movie and i let others get a chance to watch it. But, here i feel the need to give it a 5.5 stars as i was immensely disappointed by the movie. The 1st movie was incredible - loved it, the second was not as nice, but still a 1-timer. But, this movie took the whole anime franchise to a low as it is filled with kiddish jokes and scenes that do not fulfill expectations. These movies were not initially cartoons made for children. They were animations made for the entire demographic. But this last ones had foolish immature jokes that can only make children laugh. Some parts were good, hence giving it a 6 star (READ:5.5 star) review. If you were to compare this to the 1st movie of the franchise - this one would barely get 3 stars. "Artistic Liberty" can take you only to a certain level...but, how can animatiuon over-act is what i dont understand. Watch the movie when you have nothing to do and ur mind is well rested or else simply skip it.

Uncle Drew (2018)

Dont believe any fool who has given this movie lesser than 7 stars
31 August 2018
Watched this movie from start to end and within 2hrs watched it again with my wife. And we both found it amazing. The 5.7 average doesn't do it justice. There are people out there who do not understand how beautiful the game of basketball is (PS: I ain't an Afro-american or from a nation that loves basketball as a sport). The movie is well made and the punchlines fit perfectly with every scene. Shaq is just a treat to watch on screen whether it be a game or a movie he simply brings joy wherever he is. Lil Rel and Kyrie Irving put the extra 2 stars in the 7 i give this movie for their amazing performances. The emotional connectivity between all the actors is perfectly blended with the comic-factor that truly makes this movie worth a watch. PS: DON'T LISTEN TO THESE CRITICS THAT HAVE DOWN GRADED THE MOVIE FOR ALL THE WRONG REASONS. Watch the movie for the comic-drama and the love for a sport called basketball.

A Shout-Out to #TiffanyHaddish i know she is in a negative character in this movie..... But, she is amazing. Please take on roles of a positive nature coz ur acting skills are amazing and if you take on negative roles "type-casting" will take its nautral course. We wish to see you in smart and better/stronger roles.

Awesome, Lovely, Amazing, Refreshing and Yaaaa Great.
23 August 2018
Enjoyed this New York times best sellers film adaptation thoroughly. Beautifully made movie and the main lead Lana Condor is really awesome in her role as Lara Jean. Even though its seems like an everyday romcom from its trailers its a great movie and is made wonderfully. I am not mostly a fan of romantic movies and prefer action and sci-fi but, this movie pulled in my focus and got me interestingly involved in its story. A Must watch for all movie buffs especially the ones who love Rom-coms

Skyscraper (2018)

A Thorough Dwayne Johnson fan, thoroughly disappointed.
13 August 2018
Let me start by saying (As the headline suggests) i am a Thoroughbred Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson fan when it comes to whatever he has achieved, movies wrestling and other personal and social stuff he does. But, this is the 1st movie of his that i didnt like (Even the ones that didnt do too well at boxoffice) ..... Nothing there to enjoy....unnecessary drama and somewhat ridiculous stunts.... The story has no connectivity and the final scene is a rip off of a Bruce Lee movie (Not giving the name as it will be a spoiler) ... only the scene made more sense in the Bruce Lee movie as there were no automatic guns involved back then (only swords/katanas) The one legged Rock climb (Crane) was when the movie started making zero sense and slowly became much worse. And, Damnnnnn!!! The Drama ..too much senseless drama was simply too hard to swallow. Wanted to give the movie 5 stars .... But, Rock, The Building owner and Rocks girl child did good. Hence bumped up the stars to 7. There are a few questions left unanswered, but its not this place where i can ask them...haha.
