Kadak Singh (2023)
Good actors with poor screenplay & story execution
- Every cast in the movie is good except Sanjana Sanghi. She does not looks natural in her role, either its presence of senior actors or lack of acting experience but she was the only missing link in the movie in my opinion.
- Overall movie is around a series of incidents which the director has tried to show with different angels which makes movie a bit slow. The film actually picks pace in last 25-30 minutes, although the climax is not very satisfactory and looks like last minute effort to complete the film anyhow.
- Basic plot is fine but film lack the gripping factors or one can say it lacks sharp edges. Pankaj tripathi is a great actor but you cant give burden of whole movie on actors, usually 50% good story and 50% good acting performance makes great movies but in this film the maximum dependency is on actors and not on story.
- Last point may not be important for everyone its just my view and I am writing for my satisfaction. After watching the movie I searched for the director name and got to know that this is the same guy who directed the movie 'Lost' starring Yami Gautam. I had great initial hopes for that movie too but that film also turned out to be a last minute touch-up film with missing gripping story line. That movie was also based on Kolkata background but lacked the charisma.
Conclusion- It can be watched one time, its not all bad as a product. But you'll feel bad that great actor like Pankaj and Parvathy were not put to good use. Movie opens with good premise but it starts loosing it's grip as it progesses. This film is not worth the hype.
The Equalizer 3 (2023)
Film is nice but not better than previous ones.
1) Movie storyline is short & crisp. Although the previous part 1 & 2 were more detailed and adhered to the topic but this movie is not that much detailed.
2) Danzel Washington is a delight to watch same as last 2 movies.
3) Movie has beautiful Italian scenaries.
4) Action scenes are very less in the movie, approx 35-40% scenes of the movie are only action scenes.
5) The movie contains with two different storylines. I assume the idea was to give audience the relation that how Robert ended up in Sicily but that did not resoted very well with the overall storyline and it was told at the very end of the movie that why Robert went to Italy. In my opinion it should have been done in the start for audience to establish the logic of europe travel.

Kannur Squad (2023)
Upgraded version of Kuttavum Shikshayum
*Disclaimer- A review from POV of a north Indian*
Pros-
1) The biggest positive for this movie is actor Mamoothy. He knows how to churn out the best acting and to connect with the mass, obviously he is very experienced and legendary actor.
2) This film has the similar plot as of the 2022 released Malayalam movie 'Kuttavum Shikshayum' but somehow a new storyline has been woven across the same basic plot which feels much better than the 2022 film. If one has not seen Kuttavum Shikshayum then this movie would be a much better viewing experience for him/her. Infact people should watch this movie instead of Kuttavum π.
3) Editing part is crisp, you won't feel that movie is being slow in the whole runtime.
4) Cops are also human and bound to do human error which is shown properly in this movie. Also there is a image of cops being lazy, corrupt, aggressive and kind of goons which is correct for some of them but there are also good cops who work 24*7 without any personal benefit just to solve case and this movie shows both sides.
Cons-
This movie has taken lesson from Kuttavum shikshayum about doing research about north before making film about north but still there are many loopholes in the research.
1) You are showing Faizabad location and then showing hilly area near Faizabad π. Faizabad is a plain area and there are no hills in radius of 50 kilometers from Ayodhya/Faizabad. Maybe people from Kerala are not aware about this fact but does the director thinks that North Indians will not see this movie π.
2) North Indians are comparatively aggressive which I agree and it's shown in the movie but there is a difference between being aggressive and being criminal. Not everyone starts beating police in North ππ. This is a basic fault shown in both Kuttavum Shikshayum and Kannur Squad. In the village scene at night when the squad reaches investigating about the killers whole village gathers and starts chasing policemen with arms and sickles πππ I mean WTF. Do Kerala people think that all north Indian think about is murdering policemen ππ, people will gather to understand the issue they will not start chasing you with swords and sticks π. Similar scene is shown at Payagpur station, even if the squad people don't know hindi very much but if they shout "Police" then north Indians will understand that they are from Police π. At station also people started chasing police ππ. These two scenes are too biased towards north India.
Conclusion- it's a good movie but I would like to request directors from kerala that please make good movies and try to unite India not divide North & South India π€£π€£
Mitron (2018)
Comedy blast movie
- These kind of clean comedy movies are needed more and more.
- Jackky bhagnani as Jai has looked very natural in his character as a matter of fact all cast have worked brilliantly and you'll never feel that they are acting or over acting π.
- The flavour of Gujarati household and their shenanigans have boosted the comic affinity of this film.
- A father always thinks that his son is a looser no matter what is shown perfectly in this film π.
- Songs are melodious and are inserted at legit intervals, you won't feel that 'abc' song is unnecessarily pushed in the film and it was not needed.
- Pratik gandhi has also made a solid effect in this movie.
Conclusion-A must watch if you are looking for a family comedy movie.
Hajime no Ippo (2000)
Best Boxing anime in the world
I've seen this series as Hajime no ippo(in India) in Japanese language. If you love martial arts and anime then you'll totally love this series, more over this series has explained the minutest boxing techniques in most detailed manner. I've been a student in a boxing club in teenage and this anime was an opportunity to remove the nostalgia of those days. Dempsy roll, twisting shoulder to generate extra reach & power, playing as a south paw player, everything is taught to a boxer.
The fear of heavyweight senior Takamura san is funny but real too. All clubs/arenas have this one senior who is experienced, powerful and cocky ππ. Also the journey of Ippo from a rookie to his weight category champion is beautifully shown in this series. About how a boxer feels, how his mind works, how his body reacts inside the ring, everything is beautifully shown in this series.
Conclusion - a must watch if you love sports anime.
