10 Cloverfield Lane, Mirch Masala, Jagga Jasoos, Mom, War for the Planet of the Apes, Spiderman Homecoming

Watched six movies as mentioned in the subject line.
------------------------------------------------------------------
10 Cloverfield Lane
This movie was on Amazon Prime video.
It was surprising to watch this movie.
It really felt as if there was no gas and alien scare and the last 10 minutes of the movie proved otherwise.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Mirch Masala
This movie was watched on Tata Sky Video on Demand Channel. I will say this movie is worth the time.
This is 1987 movie and too good. Om Puri, Smita Patil, Naseeruddin Shah among others have played very good role.
If you have not watched the movie you should watch it.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Jagga Jasoos
This movie was watched at Carnival Cinemas, Rockline Mall.
Movie is very good and I totally liked it. Songs are good, story is good, musically inclined movie right from the stables of Disney pictures.
Thoroughly enjoyable.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Mom
This movie was watched at GT World Mall, SPI Cinemas The World.
I liked the movie because of the intensity of the actors. Sridevi has done very good performance.
Also her daughter and husband also good roles. Definite must watch this movie.
------------------------------------------------------------------
War for the Planet of the Apes
This movie is enjoyable to say the least. Watched it at Lakshmi theatre, Tavarakere.
The best part of the movie is that we humans are so delicate as Woody Harleson proved where he hated the virus affected people and when he himself is affected by the virus he has no option but to kill himself as being affected by the virus would not make them "human" in traditional sense of the world.
And the avalanche in the end proves that nature is the most powerful and the most dominant humans are also no match to nature and its fury. But that is natural for nature. It is not unnatural for nature to act the way it does.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Spiderman Homecoming
This movie is more "commercial movie" than Planet of the Apes. It is enjoyable.
Watched it at Carnival Cinemas, Rockline mall.
The way the character of Spiderman glides through the world of men is shown.
Ironman is the more dominant superhero along with the Avengers and Spiderman manages to squeeze his way though.
Compare it to earlier Spiderman where there were no other superheroes and Spiderman story was entirely his own.
This movie can be watched once without any problem

Ek Haseena Thi Ek Deevana Tha, Raaz 3, Baby Driver, Revolver Rani, Filmistan

Watched five movies as mentioned in the subject line.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ek Haseena Thi Ek Deevana Tha
This movie was watched at Innovative Multiplex.
This movie has got several gaps in the plot and is best to be missed . It is like the hero is a soul and in the end he is granted a body magically by God after request from the dying side hero.
But movie is shot abroad in Europe some remote area and that makes it worthwhile.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Raaz 3
This movie was watched on Amazon prime Video. And definitely this movie is worth watching.
I liked the movie.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Baby Driver
This movie was watched at GT World mall at Magadi Road.
This movie is way better than I expected. And is loaded with 60s and 70's songs as the hero had a condition where he had an ear problem and needed to listen to songs continuously. Definite must watch. And all the actors have done very good role.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Revolver Rani
This movie was watched on Airtel Digital Tv after recording on pen drive.
This is a must watch.
I know earlier I have seen the movie in "fast forward" and written about it but now I watched it complete and found it is not a bad movie as such and can be watched without any problem.
In fact I am tempted to say that this might end up as a cult classic. As each and every scene has got a meaning and linkage to the movie.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Filmistan
This movie was watched on Airtel Digital Tv after recording on pen drive.
This 2012 movie is also having potential to become cult classic.
It is about a film industry man ending up in Pakistan after he was shooting documentary in Rajasthan border area.
Though this film wanted to be a comedy but unfortunately doesn't become so but it has its own comedy moments. Towards the end it is not clear if the hero makes it back to India or not.
It is definite must watch.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Raaz Reboot, Transformers The Last Knight, Once upon a Time in Mumbai Dobara, Tubelight, Salaam Bombay

Watched five movies as mentioned in the subject line.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Raaz Reboot
This movie was watched on Airtel DTH Miniplex HD Channel after recording on pen drive.
Movie is okay to be watched once.
I have not seen earlier Raaz movies and am planning to watch those after this. Raaz 2 I had seen on computer but it was a hall print I guess.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Transformers The Last Knight
This movie was watched at Carnival Cinemas Rockline Mall. I have taken a Moviepass at www.moviecardindia.com and it allows me to watch one movie per day from Monday to Thursday only.
This movie is technically very good and special effects are real good and a lot of effort has gone to make the battle scenes.
But I still feel it is waste of effort. So much effort for what. But it is okay to be watched once without any problem.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Once upon a Time in Mumbai Dobara
This movie was seen on Airtel DTH Miniplex HD Channel after recording on pen drive.
Movie is okay for a one time watch.
Akshay Kumar has played the villian and why i felt that present PM Modi is lot like Akshay Kumar in the movie. I mean he could have taken inspiration from the role.
Though the movie flopped, i feel technically it is a good quality movie and they have kept Akshay kumar alive in the end in the hope of bringing a sequel maybe.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Tubelight
This movie was seen at new Mall GT World Mall The Cinema GT World Mall.
Movie is great for a one time watch. Key takeaways from the movie.

• Sohail Khan and other actors have done a great role.
• Salman Khan has tried very hard to do a different kind of role. Is he successful? I guess only the fans can say that.
• The scenes of battle have been captured well.
• If we forget Salman Khan the big actor and watch the movie for what it is we might just like the movie.

------------------------------------------------------------------
Salaam Bombay (1988 movie)
This movie was seen on Tata Sky Video on Demand Chennel.
The thing is if we keep a minimum 8 GB pen drive attached to Tata Sky box overnight stuff gets downloaded and we can watch it later.
This movie in HD with subtitles got downloaded and I watched it and liked it. Key takeaways from the movie.

• The movie captures the essence of Bombay or Mumbai.
• Though Bombay has been renamed, the spirit of Mumbai is the same.
• It was bound for Bombay to be renamed because now Bombay has expanded way beyond what it once was.
• I feel Bombay name should have been retained for the "inner city" which is South Mumbai where this movie is based (around Mumbai Central area).
• In the movie we see Irrfan Khan the actor in a very initial role. We feel not much change has happened to him over decades.
• Nana Patekar has proved he is the actor for what he is. I mean he gained fame in parinda and Krantiveer and over decades he played a variety of roles. Here he portrays a pimp and drug dealer and very good role.
• Raghuvir Yadav has also done a good role. He is the same guy who went on to do the role of Mungerilal Ke Haseen Sapne
• There is one actress who looks like Saroise Ronan. Link
• The vehicles seen are only Fiats mostly as it was pre liberalisation in 1991 and very few vehicles were on the roads. Now the number of vehicles and the quanity of models available has exploded.
• The love of cricket is still there in the city it is shown in the movie just like today. In one scene there was going on of India England match and Mike Gatting was batting we got to hear the commentary.
• The local trains have improved these days but mostly the outer structure is the same. And even today there are several old models of trains still in operation.
• But the long distance trains have undergone lot of change in present day. Earlier they used to dark red coaches with grainy paint on them like anti rust coating. Now Express trains are blue colour coaches and other variety of trains are different. And electric engines have become the norm. Earlier there used to be diesel what is shown in the movie and even earlier there was steam engine.
• The Ganesh Puja celebrations shown in the movie are timeless and even these days the celebration is the same nonetheless.
• The shantytowns or slums are captured perfectly. Even today if a film is made it will not be very different.
• The circus shown in the beginning shows elephants bears and dogs in captivity. It captures a bygone era as these days only small birds can be used and other animals is banned.
• The movie is definite must watch as it captures the spirit of Bombay or Mumbai.
• I feel the planets were aligned just right for such a kind of movie to be made.
• I feel many filmmakers would be studying this movie and they will be trying to emulate Mira Nair in making the perfect movie the perfect classic. Unfortunately the formula is not readily available.
