Blurr (2022)

Dont trust the rating. Watch it

[6/10 · 12 December 2022]

I dont know why this movie is given such bad rating. It is very good for a bollywood thriller. Once of the better ones I have seen.

If you like thrillers and suspense movies, you would most probably like it. The story is well written and the direction is on point. Some scenes could be shorter but overall the movie didnt bore. Acting by the character Gayatri was on point and she carried the whole film forward.

Another aspect that kept me involved was that until the very last moment, the movies isnt very predictable. You keep guessing and you keep failing to guess. I think its a well made bollywood movie and you should give it a try. Simply ignore the low rating this movie has right now.

Joyland (2022)

Go to the cinema and watch this.

[10/10 · 8 December 2022]

This is one of the best dramas I have ever seen (and I have seen a lot). Its raw, its real and its hard to digest because it depicts a side of the Pakistani society that everyone knows exists but no one wants to admit.

There has been a lot of baseless propaganda about this film just because it humanizes a trans person. That is it. There is literally nothing objectionable n this film.

In a society that treats trans people worse than animals, it is very hard for people to watch it when this movie shows a glimpse of our everyday reality. Whatever is shown in the movie happens in Pakistan everyday, literally.

It is not promoting or demonizing anything. It just shows who we really are. I feel sad for people who are rating it 1 star just because they heard somewhere that this movie promotes something againt their beliefs. What are your beliefs anyways?

Almost all 'khwaja sara's in Pakistan are abandoned by their parents at birth or after a few years. Does anyone critise that? Have you criticised the kind of humiliation they face everyday forno reason? Have you ever wondered where do these people come from? Are they some aliens or just humans like us born a little differently? The violence these people face everyday is beyond imagination. And it is very sad to see that some people are trying to get this movie banned because its an attempt to humanize the most vulnerable segment of the society.

I loved all the characters, loved the music, loved the setting and more than anything loved the acting. Everything together was a punch in the gut. It made me uncomfortable, it made me cry, it made me laugh outloud and beyond anything else, it made me think. I cant stop thinking about this movie since I watched it last night. Would happily watch it again over the weekend with my mother since I am in Pakistan only for a short while.

Congratulations to the creators and actors in this film. You have created a masterpiece.

Hereditary (2018)

Disturbing

[9/10 · 12 September 2020]

If your like movies that can disturb you and make you feel almost 'bad' at the end. Fgo for this one. It's a good movie though. Does what's advertised.

The Long Goodbye (I) (2020)

Powerful and Unexpected work

[9/10 · 31 August 2020]

It's an amazing short film conveying more than most 2 hours long films. Must watch.

Sacred Games (2018–2019)

Season 2 isn't good enough

[6/10 · 24 May 2020]

Loved season 1 it was 8/10. Season 2 has a pretty bollywood-like bad story writing. The last episode was a joke Specially at the end. It was barely 5/10.

Sincerely Louis C.K. (2020 TV Special)

Same brilliance of Louis CK

[10/10 · 13 April 2020]

If you like his comedy, you would love it. Dark and Funny. Loved it.

Lust Stories (2018)

Good but kinda pointless

[4/10 · 4 March 2020]

Acting and direction are good for almost all the 4 stories. But the storyline is a little confusing and needed more work. After watching every part, you'll feel what was the point of that. It's an okay time killer but nothing more than that.
