Rahu Ketu, Viva Maria, Strangers 3, Send Help, Shelter

Watched several movies over the past few days.

Rahu Ketu

  • This comedy movie was watched on the big screen.
  • Wonderful performance by the actors Varun Sharma and Pulkit Samrat.
  • The story is based on Rahu and Ketu who enter people lives and create trouble.
  • And Lord Vishnu can protect the devotees from Rahu Ketu. 
  • Though not shown in the movie, we know the story.

Viva Maria

  • This Bridgette Bardot French movie was watched on TV5 Monde Asia channel.
  • Too good action movie.
  • It deals with rebels on the run.
  • Initially it is Irish against the British.
  • Then much of the movie shifts to Mexico where the action happens.
  • This is a classic movie and should be protected for posterity according to me.

The Strangers 3

  • This 2026 American movie was watched on the big screen.
  • It makes me want to watch Part 1 and Part 2.
  • I will say there is not much dialogues in the movie.
  • But is is worth watching.

Send Help

  • This movie was watched on the big screen.
  • Rachel Mc Adams had starred in the 2005 movie Red Eye.
  • Now in 2026 this movie comes and it is on similar lines.
  • I liked the movie and I do not know how others will feel about it.

Shelter

  • This action packed movie was watched on the big screen.
  • Jason Statham is the star of the movie.
  • And he "falls out" of the favour of official channels due to his refusal to carry out cold blooded orders.
  • And then he goes after the source and then works to protect some.
  • I liked the movie.

Border 2, Mardaani 3, Bhabiji, Greenland 2

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

Border 2

  • This 2026 movie based on 1971 India-Pakistan war was watched on the big screen.
  • Too good action movie.
  • At least the action sequences are too good.
  • Captures both the futility of war and losses of war

Mardaani 3

  • This movie was watched on the big screen.
  • Too good movie.
  • Rani Mukherjee is like Goddess Durga personified.
  • It is so good.
  • Thanks to the makers for making such kind of movie.
  • I will say entire world should watch this movie.

Bhabiji Ghar Par Hein

  • This comedy movie was watched on the big screen.
  • This is based on the characters coming out of the hit TV serial.
  • Apart from the TV actors there are few more actors like Ravi Kishen, Mukesh Tiwari and Nirahua and they make it worthwhile.
  • Too good movie which I liked.

Greenland 2

  • This is the sequel of Greenland movie.
  • The movie makes the journey from Greenland through France via UK into Mediteranean Sea where there is a "paradise" where the climate is stable and new world can be built.
  • Unfortunately hero Gerard Butler does not make it in the movie.
  • So making new world is left to the next generation.

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 TV5 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 TV5 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.
