Madame Web (2024)

Has it's sloppy moments but worth a watch on OTT
18 May 2024
Ok, first of all watch the movie for the story. Don't think that there will be mind blowing action scenes every few minutes. This is not a kids cartoon.

I didn't have any expectations from this film. I wouldn't have been surprised if every scene of it cringed me out.

But it delivers for the most part. The first half just kept me hooked.

For me it was like a good movie with some sloppy moments. I do find some things really conveniently happening for the sake of the story.

For example having access to all the cameras in the world? Too far fetched even for a Science fiction movie.

If a little work would have been done on refining few plot lines and few scenes this movie would have been great.

No complaints with the animation really.

Maybe it was a problem for others but a few sloppy parts didn't ruin the experience for me. I enjoyed watching it.

It is certainly much better than what the critics say.

Great suspense. Well executed
9 April 2024
I feel this film is a little underrated. I hadn't seen the trailer and watched it seeing the IMDb rating and it sure was good.

The main point to highlight is the mystery and suspense was just perfect. Those moments which creates questions in your mind witu the music is really close to nail biting.

Maybe seeing the rating I didn't have much expectations but this is a good watch. Maybe not something that blows your mind but something that comes really close to it.

The whole movie keeps you on the edge of the set and makes you question yourself what is happening.

Overall though if you want to see nail-biting mystery with a tinge of action this will surely leave you breathless.

Animal (I) (2023)

Not that great but worth a watch
10 December 2023
This is mainly a drama. How the father-son bond goes. I didn't quite get what they wanted to show in that. He fights with him a lot, didn't like how his father treated him in childhood but somehow loves him a lot.

The comedy never clicked but that wasn't really part of the film.

This does promote the so called 'alpha male' unevidential crap. Anyone watching please notice these things and don't implement in your lives. Treat woman with respect.

The action isn't as much as I expected. I would have liked more but whatever the amount was good.

Some drama scenes are also done pretty nicely. The BGM really works.

Maybe it was the length but I was just waiting for the action scenes to come.

All in all, I would have loved this movie if It was around 2hr30min long than 3hr 15min.

OMG 2 (2023)
8/10
Yes kids can also read this review 😅
8 October 2023
This is totally worth a watch. It made me teary multiple times. You could actually feel the tenseness and the feelings in the scenes. This was maybe a little better than OMG 1 but that was also good.

I am an Atheist but the performances of Hinduism were really nice.

This movie has actually built up a valid point. Don't know why some other comments were saying that they already had sex education.

Did they stop teaching? Studying in the 2010s I was taught about the reproductive system but that's it.

I need to secretly go and get knowledge from the internet. I wouldn't have done that I would be wrongly thinking that masturbation harms me badly. Literally no support from anywhere else and something bad happens it's my fault?

My parents are a little open about it but it really makes my blood boil how such negativity and misinformation has spread through different religions.

I saw someone else comment that it 'makes you weak' and random stuff like that. Obviously because they are just hearing dogmas from other people.

I hope some change is brought after this otherwise this movie would just be another movie giving few hours of entertainment.

Pretty sure nobody wants that.

Jawan (2023)
7/10
Not apt to compare with pathaan
9 September 2023
With this quality of action and bgm which will make you teary multiple times I don't see the point of masala films.

This could have been much better if not mass appealing if it had lesser songs and little lesser revenge factor and romance.

It is good despite being a masala film. That is commendable. I enjoyed watching Pathaan also. It has a more action oriented approach though.

It is appreciable how a good social message was given. Though whenever they said something about government it doesn't feel very powerful initially. Could have improved there.

Just after watching the movie I liked Pathaan better.

Though it's certainly worth a watch and a treat for people who like masala films.

Blue Beetle (2023)
8/10
Little better than the Flash(movie)
20 August 2023
Well where should I start. I should mention that this movie was different than any other origin movie you have seen. This had some environment of family which I found different and kind of liked.

The action scenes are very nicely done. The camera movement and generally the fighting skills shown were really commendable. They actually engross you in the scene. On top of that background music was really great.

Kind of fit with the whole and many scenes for kind of almost perfect. You could actually feel the feelings of different people and what they were going through.

This thing is what I found different in this movie that this had a holistic approach i.e it wasn't more focused only the superhero and his fighting.

Animations may seem a little off on buildings constructed by CGI but overall a negligible factor.

Flash had all these things accept a good background score, I suppose. If you liked the Flash then you certainly will like this too.

In any case it's a good stand alone film so even if you haven't been following DC it's a fun watch.

Adipurush (2023)
7/10
Yeah, I didn't rate 7 by mistake 😄
12 August 2023
Now that you have started reading due to such a high rating hear me out.

I watched it knowing that it is an adaptation.

I will tell the problems first. I watched it on OTT and the animation is pretty bad at some points in the movie. Sometimes the way arrow was held or generally the forests. Some dialogues felt weird at points but most of them were good and impactful.

The good part? Yes, there is. The background music is good. Most of the dialogues were good. The way Raghav motivated vanar Sena for war made me teary. You need to watch them to feel the impact. In general the scenes where weapons are used mostly appeared nice.

I became an atheist from a Hindu. I liked that finally we could watch Ramayan in a fun manner, learning it's values. Not just as a religious thing.

If you are not watching seeing the reviews then please don't do that. This is surely worth a watch.

I actually felt how good Ram was and I should try to be as much as I could like him at the end of the movie.

Didn't have much expectations but surprising
31 July 2023
This is certainly a worthwipe watch. This was mostly focused on romance and small clues are spread across the movie about what may be happening.

The mystery is maintained across the movie and the intimate scenes aren't vulgar but you have enough connection with the characters that they appear pretty hot.

It basically has a court case and while the proceedings happen her past story is slowly unfolded pertaining to the case. A disconnect was never felt, though.

It was weird though that people weren't accepting the Marsh girl. She was an orphan and had to survive on her own. Didn't seem realistic but I guess it was for dramatic effect.

All in all totally worth a watch.

Get Out (I) (2017)
9/10
Nicely done and little underrated
31 July 2023
For old movies I prefer watching the ones having above 8 rating but this movie caught me by surprise. It was pretty different for me.

It's dark theme is nicely carried out all across. Also the mystery is nicely maintained all across. The unsettling background music and generally too keeps you wondering what is happening.

I thought this will get boring soon and would have good ending but I was surprised how this never felt boring. It's a bit weird if you ask me since I feel the style would be very different for a lot of people.

Guess, I am repeating things but this movie won't be boring, maintain the mystery and will keep your eyebrows high.

Surely worth a watch.

A great thriller
31 July 2023
This is one of the best whodunit I have seen in sometime. Not that I watch a lot.

You would always be interested in what would happen and enough twists to get you wrong. The neo-noir style is an interesting one. I don't listen to old Hindi songs but they fit into the scenes nicely.

After the movie I was like what movie have they made. It's just completely something you wouldn't have seen before.

It's background score other than the songs are also good. I was actually feeling scared when such scenes were happening. Don't know if I was able to connect with the characters well or the music was such but haven't been so scared for a character before.

Overall a must watch. I didn't give 10 due to small things here and there but overall you won't regret watching it.

The Flash (I) (2023)
8/10
Awesome but didn't make me say that
18 June 2023
I kind of hope that after a movie I am able to think that the movie was awesome but didn't feel like it. I did enjoy the movie experience a lot.

I watched it in IMAX. CGI was awesome. Background score almost fits with the scene. Never felt out of place. The story sounds okay in trailer but had awesome execution.

The camera movement along with the people was also great. It also had some time travel aspects to understand so from nowhere it felt like a kiddish movie. The Batman was clever as usual.

Now that I think about it this is maybe this has one of the best action sequences I have ever seen in a DC movie.

It just makes you say wow. I would have given 9 but some scenes felt normal for some reason.

A must watch overall though.

It's surely above average and clearly worth a greater rating. Do watch it in a good format. You won't regret it.

The Night Manager (2023– )
8/10
Didn't know it was a remake 😅
14 May 2023
The story is great. It never gets boring. There is always something to expect.

This series I feel was more focused on the details of the story than on action sequences. I hope that is not the reason people go and check this series.

I didn't know this was a remake when I watched it so I ended up enjoying it. This kind of also raises some questions on some moral things.

// Spoiler from here Overall this involves a hotel manager slowly getting involved in reporting an illegal arms trade. He slowly gets information but later also agreed to work with the government.

// Spoiler till here

Some of the moments are well written. I found them quite clever.

Overall must see in theatres.😂 Just kidding.

Gaslight (I) (2023)
8/10
Kind of saw it coming
14 May 2023
The movie is actually very calm, if that makes sense. Half the movie the story goes slowly, building up.

The whole setup was set and that is the part that was making me think who all were responsible. It was calm on the surface but certainly not in my mind.

Seeing that the people were less to put blame on it was almost understood who all could be responsible.

It had some good chills. It was exhilarating and scary at same time. I think the whole story could have been compressed and be shown in 45 minutes if they wanted to but I appreciated the style of going slow.

Weirdly it never got boring.

I gave one extra star for this style otherwise overall story is not very much impressive. Good at best.

Good mix of everything
10 May 2023
This certainly was fun to watch. I noticed that I was actually smiling continuously at the end portion not because jokes were there but I was really enjoying it.

It has good portion of comedy, though some of it didn't land, but all jokes never land, do they? Appreciable on that end.

The animation and action scenes were really nicely done. Ok, I will say this, there is a one shot scene which makes it better. Every character is clearly portrayed.

The background music on many portions were awesome. Really makes you feel what the character is feeling.

The problematic elements for me were jokes not landing. Otherwise awesome.

Bollywood sure knows how to get good action scenes
22 April 2023
Bollywood surely knows how to do good action scenes. First Pathan then this. It's surely is reaching the so called Hollywood level. Also the background score is awesome.

It almost fits into the same but sometimes feels bit excessive. Overall nicely done in that field.

The story is good considering the whole event happening in a single night. The 3D effect actually is visible. Many times I was like 'woah, nicely done.'

Kind of surprising you get impressed so many times in a single movie. This is almost a 10 but due to few small things I have given it an 8.

Certainly a must watch in 3D though.

Pop Kaun? (2023– )
7/10
Good mix of story and comedy
8 April 2023
I expected the show to be pure comedy like people going around hitting each other, getting shocked etc, but I was surprise that this had a decent story with a good mix of drama and comedy.

If someone's looking for pure comedy then this is not the show for you.

The amount of comedy is almost like any other comedy movie. There are scenes that make your eyes watery but also that make them happy(I guess that's not a good way to put it).

Seeing rating of 6.4 I was doubtful that this show would be good but I decided to give it a try since a lot of good comedians were involved.

I am happily surprised by my reaction and I would like others to try this.

Kuttey (2023)
7/10
Good but certainly not a 10
7 April 2023
I was very excited to watch this movie. I watched it on laptop since wasn't available in theatres around me. The basic premise is that normal people are being overpowered by people in above positions. We are kind of dogs or 'kuttey'.

Few of these people try to rob a van. All with different reasons. The story and the moral behind it is appreciable.

For some reason I didn't quite enjoy the whole thing. I did get hype on places in between but seeing 10 rating by many people I thought this would be something awesome.

This was more realistic than a movie thrill. A good narration is drawn through the stories mentioned in between.

Overall a good movie which will never get you bored.

One Punch Man (2015– )
6/10
Good action but that's it
5 April 2023
Warning: Spoilers
I saw 8 episodes then stopped watching. Not that it was bad but it's format was pretty bad. It has a lot of action so if someone is into that. In every episode Saitama just fights. There is no story. The creatures keep coming from random places.

The show is beyond logic. That much I can confidently say. It's logic is not fitting in itself.

How do you be able to jump to the level of clouds, be bomb damage resistant, faster than the speed of sound just by agressive human training?

Whoever liked the show mentions me don't look for logic. If someone's willing to do that then ok.

Also I don't like the format of them thinking their next move. Kind of ruins the surprise for me.

All in all it's a violent version of a kid format show. If someone's just looking for entertainment be my guest but people following Marvel, DC etc don't look for explanations.

Nice in more ways than one.
18 March 2023
Warning: Spoilers
The comedy makes it really different. The jokes made me laughing hard many times. The camera motion and action in general was different and I liked it.

The teenagers behaving like themselves kind of adds to the plot. I am sure it would be hard to maintain same habits for two different actors. Animations were awesome.

Liked the cameos( You didn't hear it from me). I liked how many scenes become funny unexpectedly. Any follower of Greek gods. Jokes were made on them.

I though liked that the gods were not inherently with a bad intention. I like these things. Everything should have a reason and it can't be anything.

I think action could have been more pumping but hearing the background score I may unsee it.

Shazam! (2019)
8/10
Awesome
7 March 2023
This was good. The whole story was well put. We see the actual reactions which a child would have getting powers. While someone may call this overacting but really if you were able to shoot thunderbolt through your hands wouldn't you be like wooaaah coool? The villain was strong so added value. Also some basic values like power should be shared are also well mentioned. VFX and all are awesome. Humour is good. This didn't feel like a bore. Also though never really got a moment when I would feel like this movie is really good.

After I watched the whole thing I was like this movie was good. Rare instances give you that cool feeling.

Good in all, important to set up future MCU projects
4 March 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Awesome VFX. You could just freeze a frame and look at it for a minute to appreciate it's beauty. Expected story of a villain losing. It's not Infinity War.😁 These had few goosebumps scenes like all possibilities wanting the same thing while getting the core.

I saw the comedy dial a bit down compared to Ant-man 2 but ok, the stakes were higher this time.

Movies like these in which the villain is strong adds value to the character.

It was weird for the villain to be destroyed by ants. Couldn't Kang have released high force fields?

It had many lines which got me thinking about what may happen further in movie and more interested in the movie.

This movie set up a lot of important things for the MCU and is fun to watch in 3D.

Doom Patrol (2019–2023)
8/10
Really good show
4 February 2023
I was a bit skeptical at start but after watching I realised how good it is. New creative things. Characters background story is very well done. I actually feel them. It has a lot of funny moments. It has become too fantasy for now. New characters are introduced now and then so keeps things going. It has a whacky style and also feeling of the people and also the seriousness to it. Most of the episodes are really fun. I really am surprised that mainstream series can also have this quality. DC has quality too. We really get insight into characters's present mood and thoughts. It is as if you can really feel them. Good dialogues make that possible.

In all if you are looking for something kinda funny kinda fantasy and kinda serious. This is exactly for you.

Pathaan (2023)

Awesome movie despite boycotting
4 February 2023
I was like this movie is getting boycotted, I certainly need to watch it.😅

It was a really well executioned movie. I for one don't watch much Bollywood so am not really interested in dialogue baazi and all masala and stuff. Also am an Atheist, so no bias.

Keeping that in mind I will tell why this deserves the rating it does.

It has a well executioned story, did feel boring in between. The movie was for a lot of duration in flashback but never stopped entertaining. So much change of sides. Really makes you question who is good and who is bad(though it doesn't feel that impressive).

It has really well choreographed action scenes. Finally could see action more than punching and simple kicking in parental guidance movies. The camera movement also is very good for such scenes. Also the creativity in such scenes, awesome. That being said many scenes can make you feel what the character is feeling. Like you really understand them and make you sad for them. Many portion of the movie I am like 'well done' for that moment.

Some people saying that some action scenes were not that realistic. I found just three things not physically possible in the movie. To avoid spoiler won't tell.

The bias is clearly seen when people say that, since Kantara also had fighting scenes where people end up flying somewhere just in a kick many times. Nobody pointed that out though.

Had two songs so didn't feel much of a diversion. Also dialogues, not that great. Some of them cringe you out but some of them are well placed for that moment. Not the third grade movie kind but the ones that are actually creative.

This movie really made me realise how sensitive people can get for literally nothing. Please don't spread hate.

Appreciate actors working with each other. Bollywood is making a Universe of it's own so some respect please. Takes a lot of planning.

That being said watch if you want, if you can't see and appreciate hardwork atleast please don't spread hate about it.

The Batman (2022)
10/10
Almost perfect but couldn't give 9.6 so...
4 February 2023
I went to watch this movie alone in theatre. I for one was blown by it. I don't know if it is the theatre experience but this is one of the best Batman movie even considering the Batman trilogy. No offence to anyone though.

I really liked the pace of the movie. In those slow scenes you can actually think what had happened and whenever I did that I was filled with awe. Background score was awesome. I could almost feel like how much Batman gives up on. It got me teary in between a fight scene.

The best part was there was no hand to hand combat between the actual villain and Batman. This made me realise it's not necessary to make the movie good. What's left well planned action scenes, well choreographed violent scenes. You could actually feel the terror and pain of the scenes. Now that I am writing this review I actually feel this was really a very good movie. I guess DC does have an attachment with making good Batman movies. Would love to see three Batmen together though.

Good but feels overrated
4 February 2023
Warning: Spoilers
It was kind of weird. Don't get me wrong it is a very good movie. If you haven't watched this movie I take it you are not adult yet.

It was following good storyline. Bond shown well between people. You can actually see how criminals are also not that bad and totally have capability to change. The escape didn't seem so grand to me honestly. Chances of getting that deep of a hole and no guard ever noticing anything seems a bit too much but if done with patetience can be executed.

Well portrayal of everything but above 9 seems a lot to me honestly. Few things here and there seemed off so maybe that's why. But honestly hands off. One of the best movies I have ever watched.
