Dunki (2023)
6/10
Missing Hirani touch
21 December 2023
Was expecting great comedy and message. Message is there but comedy part is very little. This is not the movie you can watch again and again like 3 idiots or becomes a cult.

First half was fun at times but second half was totally stretched. Srk overacting was visible and many scenes were like watching rabb ne bana di jodi and veerzara multiple times.

Boman is great actor but had very small role, this could have easily expanded

Music was weak, none of the songs stayed in mind after movie is completed.

Overall i would say, strong message but too much hype and weakest movie by raj Kumar hirani.

Rating 6/10.

Beautiful movie
10 November 2022
Hidden gem in tons of movies released these days. This is really good and well made movie that you can watch with family.

Loved acting of the kid + Kapoor + Dutt...

Will highly recommend parents to watch with their kids, it will surely give motivation to achieve their goals ...

It is really impressive as it tells about writer / director and this being true story..

Shiksha Mandal (2022– )

good start but drifts away
4 October 2022
It starts off really well but slowly they keep on adding more and more characters. Soon you will loose track of others except main characters.

I really wish they would have sticked to main story, finished it off and don't confuse audience.

First few episodes were good, later the story becomes very very slow and lots of additional characters confused audience. Looks like director / producer tried to make everyone happy by giving them chance / role... Even small characters get to speak for few mins which could have been easily avoided...

Summary : Good beginning, weak screenplay, too many characters.

Excellent show
14 August 2020
Really liked the screenplay and pace of show ...

it shows the reality of powerful / politically connected folks and pity of honest people..

but ending could be better.

Criminal Justice (2019– )
6/10
Good story but stretched alot
8 June 2019
Started off really well.. but prison politics and family stories dragged it alot.

by the time i reached episode 5 I was really hoping someone to tell me story so that i dont end up watching all 10 episodes.

they should have shown crime scene as it happened in the end..

Not as bad as people have said
8 December 2017
Watched on netflix.. liked it ..

Its not theater material, and for sure story is predictable..

nothing new in it ..so good for at home entertainment..

Music is good and so is screenplay ...

They could have improved story ... no need to roam around the world for simple story..

Wonderful watch .. pure nostalgia
30 May 2017
'Sachin : A Billion Dreams'... wonderful movie ..

It was pleasure to watch memories and journey of legend on big screen...

Pure nostalgia as I remember watching most of his great innings live ...

good watch for every cricket (Tendulkar's ) fan....

There were scenes from Indian history which I felt were not needed ...

for anyone who believes in truth, honesty and ethics
18 November 2014
One of the best movies watched till now...

I don't have any words to describe the depth / intellect of Chaar Sahibzade..

It is not a religious fare but a must watch (in theaters) for anyone who believes in truth, honesty and ethics (the main pillars of any belief) ...

worth 2hours of your time, specially if you have kids ...

Animation could have been better but one should not compare this with Disney / Pixar as this is not targeted specifically to kids..

It delivers the message it is supposed to deliver ... for every Adult and kids...

rating 10/10

Good laughter, good dialogues
12 September 2014
Laughter riot... Had really good laughs.. it has same old story but dialogues are very apt and well timed ...

direction can be much better but good clean family Punjabi comedy movie ..

Gurpreet Ghuggi : Did not have much role.. was hoping for more of him Acting by Gippy Grewal and Dharmendra was average... but they had maximum role..

Poonam Dhillon and other actress had minimal role...

Watch only for dialogues.. as story is same old must watch if you understand Punjabi..

Could have been better
30 July 2014
first half was pretty good but it lost its charm in last 30mins ...

the story could have been stronger with better direction....

the concept was good pretty much like limitless movie ..

but it is not as strong in characters / story / direction ...

watched in theaters but could have been better watching at home...

there was too much of foreign language usage with no subtitles in the first half..

what i really liked was light comedy through out the movie..

ending was abrupt, could have been smarter or more conceptual overall rating : 6/10

Why even this movie was made and marketed ?
20 November 2012
this movie is bad... real bad .

Dunno why some people have posted excellent reviews..

may be those comments are from Rani Muk. herself...as no one in their real / normal mind will like this bakwaas...

If you have watched preview / trailer of this movie.. thats all you need to watch as those are the only good scenes in movie.. rest everything is pure junk...

if you still wanna waste 2+hrs of your life... then a big Good luck with that ...

trust me it does not even deserve 1* ratings...

very weak movie
11 June 2012
one of the worst movie I have ever seen..

Anupam Kher is trying to copy Mr Bean but nothing makes sense..

Starting is good but after 5-10 minutes movie goes haywire.

Don't watch it unless you just wanna waste your time.

Even direction and screenplay could have been much better.

Music : There are some songs in the movie.. but those are not good either Overall .. One of the worst movies of Anupam Kher.

Only good thing about movie was background scenes of shooting done in 'Liverpool'.. Except that, even supporting cast was just running here n there without any purpose...

Not worth anyone's time..

very weak movie
25 April 2012
Dunno how others are giving this move 8* rating..

The direction, story and screen play of this movie is v v weak... Jasbir Jassi is not at all actor.. He should remain in singing only... He looked hilarious speaking English..

Could have been made much better if they spend more time in making strong story... Overall nice try but story should have been strong..

These days Punjabi movies are very strong ... look at 'Jinhe mera dil luteya'... this movie is nothing compared to quality movies of these days...

I m big fan of Punjabi movies.. wish this movie was also that good ..

Gippy and Daljit are good singers / actors .. Duno why others like Jasbir Jassi try to imitate them ... One should know whether he/she is good in acting or not... He is one of the worst Punjabi actor (along with Babbu Mann)

Worth watching
6 December 2011
This is British show but that does now mean that only people from UK should watch this...

As people / residents of all developed countries face same problems i.e. eating too much processed, high in sugar and fast food.. so over weight and having issues with health..

this program treats patients with correcting their food habits and/or guiding them to eat correct food which will cure them...

Must watch for anyone who wants to have excellent health...

Their website contains healthy recipes.. worth reading / following them..

Duno why that movie was even made....
25 January 2011
What a bore !! Duno why that movie was even made....

I think it is for critics as only they can give high ratings to it ....

I thought Amir was picky in selecting his role and picking movie for himself... it doesn't look like a good choice for Amir ...

I just want my money and time back ....

Seems like no one put in efforts to read / write its story .. script was bad ...

Only good thing was acting of Prateik Babbar.... he did nice job... rest everything was useless...

Overall .. .Time Waste 0/10

What a waste of time and energy
4 November 2009
This is a dumb movie.. more of documentary than a movie.

There are no scary parts.. people who get scared are over reacting.

If you want trailer then there is nothing else in movie. It shows everything movie has to show...

I m not sure what director / writer is thinking when making this movie it is like joining clips that are in trailer and making a movie out of it...

don't waste your time...

If your friends are forcing you to come and watch this movie.. then don't watch trailer and don't expect anything out of this movie.

Seems like all good comments are given by people who can like anything, I agree that there are recordings that they show but making a whole movie out of it is really dumb.

This Is It (2009)

Great movie ... Hats off to MJ
27 October 2009
Just came back from screening of this movie.

I went with very low expectation but it was really great movie. Lots of MJ songs and practice sessions.

His female guitarist was out of the world, simply superb.

I wish they had shown or MJ has performed some more of his stunts (moon walk, dance stunts etc etc)... so deducted 1 star for this...

MJ was so humble, I dint expect that from such a big start... I m really impressed with his behavior towards his troop :) I m not a big MJ fan.. and I was totally amazed by editing and quality of movie... I m pretty sure MJ fans would love this....

Hats off to MJ ... RIP....

very very slow and boring movie
4 April 2009
Warning: Spoilers
This is one of the worst movie I have ever seen.

The starting 10mins is the only good part of the movie showing traditional Punjabi music / songs. After that it becomes slow... slower and slowest... and never picks up the pace.... This was 106 minute movie... and feels like 306 minutes

there are pin drop silent moments which could have been done better by adding background score... There were many scenes which makes no sense or could have been easily edited .... so that was also not upto the mark...

Preity Zinta did good acting... her good work was literally wasted in this worthless movie....

I would not recommend this movie to anyone...

*** CONTAINS SPOILER ***

No one expects adding factitious stuff like KING COBRA in the film.. this is really good topic and could have been done / presented in much better way... I had very high expectations from a reputed director like Deepa Mehta...

Also the place where the kid throws the dentures of his grandpa into drain should be after he is told that his bed will be taken by his uncle... so cinematography is not up to the par either...
