Sinners, Les Cyclades, Caroline Cherie, Greenland

Watched four more movies over the past few days

Sinners

  • This 2025 classic horror movie was watched on Jio Hotstar.
  • Too good movie.
  • I mean the stuff they show feels so real.
  • They recreate 1920's or 1930's US of A close to perfectly.
  • After recommendation from lot of websites that this movie is the top horror movie of 2025 I watched it.

Les Cyclades (or Two Tickets to Greece)

  • This French language movie was watched on the channel TV Monde Asia.
  • Too good movie as they shown 80's friends who in 2020's fulfill their dream of travelling to Greece.
  • Comedy and feel good kind of movie

Caroline Cherie (or Darling Caroline)

  • This 1968 French language movie was watched on TV Monde Asia channel.
  • Too good movie shows glimpses of the past namely events during French revolution and how the Royalists and Royals were hunted down and chased by the Republicans.
  • Worth watching this movie for almost realistic depictions of the past.

Greenland

  • This movie was watched on Lionsgate Play.
  • Too good disaster movie.
  • World ends in this movie due to Asteroid impact.
  • No place is safe except bunkers in several places around the world as is shown in the end including of course Greenland.

Laalo, Tu Meri, Ikkis, Ghost Stories

Watched four movies as mentioned above.

Laalo Krishna Sada Sahayate

  • Watched this movie on the big screen
  • I watched the Hindi version dubbed from Gujarati.
  • I liked the movie.
  • Krishna Bhagwan is manifestation of Lord Vishnu and one of the most lovable Avatars of Vishnu.
  • This movie has a lot of social messages and that is why it has become a huge hit.

Tu Meri Main Tera Mein Tera Tu Meri

  • This movie was watched on the big screen.
  • Too good movie with lot of comedy scenes.
  • 1st half is shot in Croatia and second half in India.
  • I don't understand why this movie bombed at the box office.

Ikkis

  • This movie was watched on the big screen.
  • This movie covers the whole situation of war in a balanced way.
  • It also reminds and makes us aware of history.
  • Like we can compare with situations like recent Operation Sindoor or 26/11 Mumbai attacks.
  • Where operation to "flush out" terrorists is on and public gathers to watch.
  • Ikkis does not show the public. But actually lot of public might have surrounded the battle zone.
  • I mean Arun Khetarpal when he enters Pakistan and on the next day ceasefire is declared and instead of surrendering he fights till the very end.
  • It was bad luck for him. Also it is shown in the movie he disobeyed order to retreat.
  • What did we expect.
  • One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter or hero of nation as in this case.
  • People from other side will want an end to war or surrender of enemy.

Ghost Stories

  • This 2018 movie was watched on Prime Video.
  • Surprisingly this was a British movie.
  • And few British horror movies I have watched are too good horror.
  • This can be one of them excellent horror ones.
  • Must watch.

Manor, Great Flood, Together, Avatar

Watched few movies over the past few days.

The Manor

  • Watched this on Prime Video.
  • Too good horror movie.
  • How the people find communion in the end makes it worthwhile.

The Great Flood

  • This movie was watched on OTT Netflix.
  • Too good Korean movie.
  • It feels that world has already ended and scientific experiments are underway to make the perfect human.
  • That is what I felt.

Together

  • This horror movie was watched on Prime Video.
  • Bodies get fused to form a perhaps perfect human in upstate New York.
  • Sometimes it is not successful and the result is horrific looking beast.
  • Worth watching for human ingenuity which knows no bounds.

Avatar 3

  • This movie Avatar Part 3 Fire and Ash was watched on the big screen.
  • Nice movie to pass time.
  • But what I felt the "blue people" resemble more and more like animals and it is genuine attempt by the director to depict them as such.
  • The director must have studied a lot of animal behaviour and made it as close to perfection as possible.

Predator, Masti 4, Haq, De De Pyaar, Wicked

Watched several movies over the past few days. As mentioned below.

Predator Badlands

  • Watched this movie on the big screen.
  • In this movie they have shown the Predator's planet.
  • It is set in future no doubt about that.
  • And human race is not shown. 
  • What they have shown is that human race is led by AI and robots.
  • It is not clear if humans are in charge of human made Ai and robots.

Mastiii 4

  • This full comedy movie was watched on big screen.
  • I will say life is full of sorrows and disappointments.
  • And if you can find moments of happiness you should enjoy it.
  • That is what is shown in the movie.
  • Movie is shot in England (mostly).

Haq

  • This Emraan Hashmi starrer was watched on the big screen.
  • Too good drama movie.
  • Though in actual case protagonists may be old, here they have taken young actors.
  • Fully enjoyable movie.

De De Pyaar De 2

  • Very nice comedy movie.
  • Good performances by all actors.
  • The twist in plot is where the heroine organizes everything and turns her Dad's plan topsy turvy.
  • That is the main highlight of the movie and is shown in last 30 minutes.

Wicked For Good

  • This movie was watched on the big screen.
  • I must confess I did not watch Wicked Part 1.
  • But now I want to watch it and also dive into the Wizard of Oz movies and story.
  • Such is the impact of this movie.

120 Bahadur, Taj Story, Baramulla

Watched few movies over the past few days as mentioned above.

120 Bahadur

  • Watched this movie on the big screen.
  • This is a story of bravery and how 120 people sacrificed themselves for the border.
  • Their bravery deterred the invading forces of Chinese from advancing further.
  • Worth watching.

The Taj Story

  • This was watched on the big screen.
  • This movie tries to destroy the narrative which we learnt from school that the Taj Mahal is a symbol of love. It is not that but that of genocide.
  • Their (makers) motive is that lies when repeated a hundred times becomes the truth.
  • Worth watching once to get alternate view of history.
  • Makers have added disclaimer in the beginning that this is all made up.

Baramulla

  • This "supernatural movie" was watched on Netflix.
  • Too good movie.
  • Movie is made on Kashmiri by Kashmiri for the world.
  • Worth watching once without any problem.
