Choked (2020)
Something different...
Saiyami Kher does a decent job. This isn't your typical kind of movie or story. It won't suit everyone. That's fine. It's the kind of movie that you don't know if you enjoyed or not but you probably liked it. He made this movie using his girlfriends' script I believe. If people think it's lacking something, maybe more humour. It wasn't so much disappointing, more so full of potential. Reducing the flashbacks and spending more time on the couple and son would have been great. Like the aunt who was funny viewing and the annoying neighbours. Developing why the wife doesn't confide in her jobless hubby more would have been good plus why he doesn't do anything around the house and she does. Needed some focus to play on their dynamics more. Potential...yes...waste of time...not quite.
The Family Man (2019)
Great web series!
Finally got around to watching The Family Man. Manoj we know is a superb actor but great all round cast. Interesting story line and characters. Thrills and non predictable episodes. Binge worthy! Really looking forward to season 2 and 3 ; )
Malang - Unleash the Madness (2020)
Really enjoyable,Not just the songs!
This movie is a reminder not to listen to others who are quick to judge and get their negative opinions across, when a new movie is released. I really enjoyed the unpredictable story, acting, romance, thriller, emotional journey. Wasn't boring and had a great flow versus lots of twists. A good watch for sure. I'll be listening to the songs, again, but knowing that the movie was pretty good too ; )
Shadaa (2019)
Hilarious LOL Movie
I dislike punjabi comedy movies so watching this, purely due to the star cast, was a great surprise. I laughed so much and found Diljit's parents the most hilarious in the storyline. It has romance and awesome songs but a non typical story and good production level as you'd expect from anything to do with Diljit. I'd love a drama from Diljit soon and the legend Harbhajan Maan again soon. Great punjabi themes for all the family to watch with great social messages is what's needed going forward. If you want a good laugh in the meantime, this movie is fantastically funny 😁
Sardar Mohammad (2017)
Sad beautiful true story
Very touching real life events shown in a humbling way. Everyone helping each other and showing how beautiful humanity can be. It's a tragic tale and acted well. You feel the emotions throughout the movie and go on the journey. So many people have faced tragedy and grief and hopefully, these kind of movies help keep the peace. Well done all involved. It's not perfect but who cares, it's someone life story being told to us and you can't help but shed a few tears.
Kalank (2019)
Kalank isn't so bad!
Everyone is being too harsh on this movie. Movies are art and not about achieving 100 crores club (unless you've personally invested in the movie!?).
Don't compare Kalank with a masterpiece from Sanjay Leela Bhansali for a start. 4 of the 6 leads are not mature actors and are still on their journeys. They will develop over time for such movies and Varun, Alia, Aditiya and Sonakshi have done what the makers asked of them. Madhuri is amazing ...acts her age, looks beautiful and dances like a dream. Love her in tabaah ho gaye song. Deserves credit. Sanjay dutt again does what he's been asked to do. His character flaw is that he is a stubborn man who doesn't know how to express love or fix his mistakes. So that's how and why he acts expressionless.
The film could have cut out the Alia song at the start plus the Kiriti song...if people have such an issue with the length of the movie. The bull scene and 2 others I can recall (car drive & carriage at the end of the movie) had poor special effects for such a big movie.
The title track is so beautiful. I think it could have been used much better.
The ladies outfits are beautiful. Aditya looked great. Even Sanjay Dutt looks good.
I rate this movie 3/5 6/10. It's not awful. Had some nice moments. There are some strange moments in the script and direction that I didn't like. I think some of the characters would have taken different actions too in some scenes.
The story didn't make me feel happy or sad. Didn't make me hold back tears. The box has been ticked. That's something for what feels like an experiment movie from Karan J. Go watch it to simply sit back and take in the scenery. Not every movie will leave you thinking wow and it'll make you re-appreciate the ones that really do ; )
Once Again (2018)
Amazing chemistry...
Simple and elegant movie where the actors take you on their journey. Really enjoyed seeing Mumbai city shots throughout the story. Both the leads do a fantastic job and make you believe this is actually happening versus a fictional tale. Loved it.
Badla (2019)
Great movie
I really enjoyed watching the performances. Gripping and non predictable story. Amitabh Bachchan absolutely smashed it in this movie. Amrita Singh pulls the heart strings. Convinces is that justice is always necessary, call it revenge or peace. Very clever movie. Highly recommend.
Notebook (2019)
Simply beautiful
The setting of this movie is stunning. It leaves you wanting to be there amongst them. This story embraces everything Indian cinema has been and can continue to be...Romantic. You can fall in love with any element of this movie because it takes you back to a simple life and the appreciation of what would really make you truly happy....not much....nothing materialistic...I am still amazed that the 2 main characters feelings are portrayed so innocently. Perfect and heart touching love. Be it the characters, their journey, the love story and not forgetting the goosebump scenery. What an absolutely beautiful setting. Congrats Salman Khan and to all involved. I will be buying this on DVD as soon as it's released. Last movie I bought was years ago. Says it all. Thank you for touching my heart and making me smile. 10/10
