The Great Indian Kapil Show (2024)
Caricature of its Past
I had huge hopes from this show looking at the starcast coming back of Gutthi and man can anyone ask for more but alas it was not to be , Kapil looks jaded and stale , the jokes are predictable and hardly had a laugh
Gutthi was a pale shadow of his past , couldn't impress at all , Kiku is a total waste , no novelty just binging on the past , it's better to pull the curtains, the show requires freshness and better format, Krushna is a huge talent who has done memorable roles in the past but is wasted here , Archna is looking gorgeous like before .
Overall the show is looking glamorous but the soul has been lost somewhere.
Advice: With heavy heart it's stale and boring, watch only when nothing else is good.
The Godfather (1972)
Crime On A Canvas
After a very long time feeling bored of series and boring movies I was scrolling through a list of top 100 films I came across Godfather as amongst the top , but as an Indian with less interest in foreign films I was alone one day and started watching on an evening , I don't remember when it finished, I just made coffee and started again and by the night time I was stunned by such a beautiful film i saw , it was like a stunning display of everything actors acting like real life dons, Marlin Brando wooooh just out of the world, Cinematography seen like never before , in fact cinematic experience was as some magician putting his best paintings, the last scene depicting Baptisation and how the other things happened in the background shows true mettle of the director.
The movie takes you into a world of Corrolones and you are just waiting with bated breath as to
what happens next .
Hats off to everyone who has been a part of this saga.
Advice: Watch at all costs , any time and feel lucky.
Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani (2023)
Wake Up & Smell the Coffee KJ
I think director Karan Johar has got it totally wrong and he's still living in the fantasy world of 90s where Indians were just been exposed to big brands of the west it's been a while mate and more than three decades have passed since your candy floss stuff was admired, now masses are exposed to world cinema through various OTT platforms.
The movie falls flat from the very beginning, the chemistry between Alia and that Joker Ranveer is totally lost, Dharamendra and Shabana are totally irrelevant, story line is predated, all in all a waste of time but if you've already paid for Amazon than watching with a fast forward is recommended.
Advice: Don't watch but if you are totally free than watch in a fast forward mode.
Blind (2023)
Sonam Kapoor - The Worst Actor
If ever acting was a husband than Sonam Kapoor is a widow, such crass acting from daughter of a genius speaks volumes about the horror Indian motion pictures is going through there's a crisis of credibility.
This movie is nothing but a caricature of an English movie which was a delight to watch.
The storyline is as usual predictable and useless copy and paste, Jio cinema should be cautious in putting such crass movies .
Soman Kapoor Ahuja is well advised not to shower her histrionics to hapless viewers . In the end my advise is to drink poison rather than watch this crap.
Advice- Don't Dont Dont watch it.
Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan (2023)
Death of Dada Saheb Phalke
Think Salmon Khan and you remember movies like Maine Pyar kiya , Andaz Apna apna, HAHK, 🐅 Zinda hai, Sultan and than disaster starts with Tubelight, Bharat, and so many more.
Salmon Khan is now sixty Not sixteen he looks so frail and ox like body does no good, the old man looks bad romancing girls fit to be his daughters adding to misery is the hair style. Today cinema has reached it's nadir all coz of duds produced and acted by clowns like salmon. These movies will prove to be last nails in the coffin end will lead audiences to OTT.
Advice: Choice between watching this movie and putting drip I will prefer drip.
Cirkus (2022)
Garbage
I have Angoor in my list of Top 10 movies of life time, I mustered some courage to watch this movie on OTT but believe you me it is such an ugly replica that I couldn't watch for 30 minutes, if Rohit Shetty thinks audiences are brain dead and will throw money on whatever you want them to see than this will not happen, I'm surprised to see rating of 5 to this garbage it shouldn't be even one star . Bollywood will finally finish if such garbage is allowed to be made.
The actors look horrible and totally out of sync
Advice: Never ever watch it in case you still want to watch , watch the original one on you tube.
Moving in with Malaika (2022)
Listless Show
As usual there was all artificial drama gross Malaika
her irritating family ,friends, her son who is only one who looks to hate her coz of her romantic liaison with someone of his own age, the commercial use of Lotus Rx is so annoying, she looked horrible at stand up comedy which she preformed it was more of humiliating her near and dears , her life is totally messed up ,she herself tries to look fabulous but fails miserably. The episode with Neha was so bad and so was her bravery when she drove a car into the glass.
I really pity her son who will have to bear the ignominious existence of his mother and a younger foster Abba..
Kantara (2022)
Journey to Ethereal World
After a very long time its hard finding words for this cinematic experience where we see catharsis of a human into a demigod , a simple storyline presented with such ease and poetry it just looks so good, the acting of Rishab Shetty will leave you speechless especially in the last fifteen minutes ,you will be numbed by such powerful histrionics that have not been experienced or the audiences have not been exposed to, the background score adds to the overall experience and being a North Indian i get goosebumps on hearing the Varaha song, what a beautiful fusion of guitar, bharatnatiyam and kola.
Hats off to Rishab for giving such a gem during the times of torturing onslaught of stupid cinema of Bollywood.
Advice to Bollywood: We are fed up of you throwing same stuff with same stale actors again and again , change yourself or audiences will change you.
Candy (2021)
Bots are manipulating
Don't be fooled by the ratings these seem manipulated to make more people watch this third class drama where useless characters have been incorporated and they confuse us by the insipid and tasteless histrionics, Ronit , Richa have disappointed a lot , the suspense is pathetic the lawlessness shown can bring any government to its knees but here nothing of that sort happens, Rudrapur is some distant world located in Mars where writ of some Ranaut runs and he sells drugs with ease and kills people as if cutting vegetables.
Suggestion: Don't watch even if nothing else is going. Play with kids wash your car , do gardening, take pets to walk but don't watch it.
Shabaash Mithu (2022)
Boring îs an understatement
Mark my words this is the most boring display of histrionics by Tapsee Pannu , her acting as usual is insipid, blasé , boring , dull , uninspiring , flavourless, lifeless, mundane , stale , stodgy, monotonous.
My sincere advice is to avoid this at any cost and don't allow children to watch because there's nothing in store.
Rocketry: The Nambi Effect (2022)
Absolutely Brilliant
Rarely ever we come across a brilliant movie from india and this movie happens to be one which will not only prove how we backstabbed one of our brilliant scientists and went so behind in the satellite launching.
A brilliant portrayal of Padma Bhushan Nambi Narayanan by Madhavan and very well supported by Sharukh Khan.
Advice: Must Watch.
Jug Jugg Jeeyo (2022)
Bollywood in crisis
Bollywood seems to have lost it completely, if this is the type of movies that will show up than no one will show up in cinema halls , believe me i slept thrice in the movie and couldn't see the ending too but it must've been a disaster. Everyone in this movie looks that they are overacting and none of the comic sequence makes you laugh instead you are hitting your head with disgust.
Advice : Avoid Avoid Avoid.
Shoorveer (2022)
Useless to say the least
It's a stoic 8 part series , which happens because someone wanted to waste money.
I don't want to bother telling using adjectives that it's bad , but in simpler terms: Don't watch this nonsense.
Tehran (2020)
Brilliant
What a fabulous show , a clear demonstration of how and under what pressures the intelligence agencies work, the importance of network, technology and on ground agents .
It's brilliantly portrayed by Tamar and any supported by everyone in the crew , the direction is fast paced, slick and truly spot on a show where language barriers don't bother.
Advice- Addictive must watch.
Jersey (2022)
Watch it for Shahid
It's an all out Shahid Kapoor movie an exact replica of Telegu movie of the same name, sports genre movies are almost on the same lines where an underdog comes and conquers against all odds Jersey falls in the same league but Shahid Kapoor lifts the movie single-handedly on his shoulders , apart from one song the music is ordinary , the heroine lacks in all departments, she has failed to impress .
Advice- Watch it for Shahid.
RRR (Rise Roar Revolt) (2022)
Visual Delight
Raja Ramouli has added another feather to his crown and should be rated alongside the greatest showman's be it James Cameron of Avataar or Sam Raimi of Spider Man or Peter Hobit.
The movie is visually appealing, keep you hooked ,gawking at your screen with awe, 2 Telegu actors are rising against all odds and like a phoenix destroying the mighty British empire.
Some of my favourite scenes include RamCharan destroying the British empire with wild animals.
Advice - Watch only if you like Fiction and Super Heroes.
Mai (2022)
Sakshi Tanwar Show
It starts of with a bang and a lot of expectations are set, than there are a spate of murders and a lot of actors pour in but as expected no other character is allowed to have any say and it gets converted into a Sakshi Tanwar murder show ,the expectations which were sky high , end up with a low tide, Vivek Mushran shouldn't have accepted this role and the same goes for others too.
Advice : Only for Sakshi Tanwar fans.
Lunana (2019)
Breathing Fresh Air
Some movies are just out of the world , they are too simple but beautiful to watch.
The Yak is one such gem from the land of dragon - Bhutan , The story is simple yet effective the direction is amateurish but aroma and atmosphere is heavenly.
The actors are too simple but touch the chord , music is soothing . You will be lost in Lunana and will definitely google this place after the movie is over.
Advice - Watch on Sunday morning the day will be pleasant.
Kaun Pravin Tambe? (2022)
Tasty but without spice.
A good movie but lacks punch or moments where emotion takes over , it runs at a steady pace and keeps moving the message is good Talpade has acted well it's an inspiring story but it's like eating a fish without spice.
Advice - Watch if you are an admirer of King Bruce.
83 (2021)
Cameo
It's one of those rare movies that will let you know the circumstances in which these gladiators won against all odds , how a top batsman wasn't playing to potential and a bucolic bowler who was given the mantle of leading the side led with aplomb.
Advice: Watch with children besides you it will show them the character of champions.
Jalsa (2022)
Another Brick in the wall
Nothing new a hit and run case where the daughter of the maid who works in the house of the person who committed the crime and than a usual humdrum of drama follows in next 147 minutes.
The Indian writers I believe lack creativity could be the reason that very few good OTT series are coming up,
Heist the Spanish series or Dark the German series , Fauda or Lupin the French that became a cult.
But nothing of that stature is coming from the stables of Bollywood.
Don't go by the reviews of Deeksha Sharma she is a paid reviewer.
Advice: Watch only if you are not in talking terms with anyone in your house or your friends have left you.
Undekhi (2020)
Engrossing and Entertaining
Undekhi -2 is back with a bang, its one series which has lived up to its reputation . It has come up as more pungent more crisp and has made its mark on Indian audiences . Rinku has lived up to his macho image with aplomb, Papa Ji is vitriolic but still loveable , all other characters have made their mark in a positive way and new characters have brought more flavour to the spicy treat.
Over all an all out entertainment package which will keep you hooked up and you will be tempted to watch another one, only letdown is the extensive use of foul language i have deducted one mark for that.
Advice - It's an addictive show , avoid watching with family and children , watch privately and enjoy.
The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window (2022)
Thrilling Experience
The genre of psycho thrillers where a lone woman
watches murders from the window, getting hallucinations and spate of murders happening left right and centre and than whoosh a " Surprising Killer " thats what happens in most and same happens in this 8 part series also, but its damn interesting.
There are a lot of twists and turns which not only make it an interesting watch but also keeps you on tenterhooks, the woman of the house has acted well, it could have been condensed into a six part series which would have made it into a 9 point watch but alas !! Director Lehman thought otherwise.
The last 10 minutes again will put a lot of questions in your mind and the expectations for season 2 will rise.
Advice - " A Weekend Binge Watch "
Kapil Sharma: I'm Not Done Yet (2022)
Gibberish Talks
This is not called stand up comedy, we aren't interested in your lifetime events , Mr Sharma please come out of depression, you still seem to be in deep coma. Please watch some real stand up comedians otherwise keep yourself to television where those male dressed as females give you the company. I regret that i wasted 90 minutes of my time . It's not necessary that if you are on Netflix you have to sing like Kenny Roggers.
Advice - " Sheer Waste of time" Avoid even if there's nothing else to do.
Yeh Kaali Kaali Ankhein (2022)
Just Damn Anything
Here's a show in which you sympathise more with the bad than the good, its set up somewhere in North india probably Uttar Pradesh where an all mighty don dont know why looks like a mouse in front of his daughter, the more dark they try to make the character of politician daughter the better she looks , the role played by the son in law is the weakest. The role played by the strong man "Rinkuji" fades away in oblivion.overall a nice time pass with some twists.
"Watchable"
