Shudh Desi Romance, Operation Red Sea

Watched two movies as mentioned in the subject line and as per below.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Shudh Desi Romance
  • This movie was watched on Amazon Prime video
  • This was one of the early movies of Sushant Singh Rajput (SSR)
  • This movie came out in 2013 after "Kai Po Che"
  • I cannot understand that two movies came out in quick succession in 2013
  • And both were huge success.
  • And then in December 2014 came out PK movie.
  • So almost for one and half year why was there was no movie of SSR?
  • And there was only side role of SSR in PK.
  • For this delay and side role Aamir Khan and Rajkumar Hirani are to be blamed if anyone is to be blamed.
  • Then Detective Byomkesh Bakshi came out in April 2015 (which was a flop movie)
  • Then MS Dhoni the Untold Story in September 2016 (this got typecasted SSR as Dhoni).
  • What I see there were huge gaps in SSR career but 2013 was a good year for him.
  • This movie Shudh Desi Romance is shot in various locations in Jaipur, Jodhpur and Udaipur in Rajasthan though the movie is set in Jaipur.
  • Rishi Kapoor is also in the movie.
  • I had not seen the movie until now but I always felt I had seen the movie.
  • So this is an error on my part. I had not seen the movie but I thought I had seen it.
  • So this was the first time I saw it and I liked the movie.
  • Movie budget was 22 crores but made 75 crores according to sources in Wikipedia.
  • So the movie was a hit.
  • Good "feel good" movie and you may fall in love with the characters.
  • Worth watching once if not more times
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Operation Red Sea
  • This movie was already downloaded in my mobile on Amazon Prime video.
  • I came to know when I watched Shudh Desi Romance.
  • I saw it in my Downloads folder. (movie Sui Dhaaga is also there, hope to watch it soon)
  • So after the Shudh Desi Romance movie I went for this and watched it.
  • I must confess I have not seen a more intense action packed movie anywhere.
  • Maybe few Hollywood movies may come close.
  • But some of the most intense battle scenes including jets, helicopters, ships, speedboats, aircrafts gunfights, fistfights, etc can be seen in the movie.
  • In fact from start to end there is nothing but action, action  and more action.
  • I liked the movie.
  • It is set in Middle East and borrows its ideas from Libya, Iraq, Yemen and Syria wars.
  • This is Chinese movie and like "Wandering Earth" is quite well made.
  • The thing I liked in the movie that sets it apart from Hollywood and Bollywood is they show casualties on hero side as well.
  • In Hollywood and Bollywood they will show hero's team coming out on top without any collateral damage or harming of own team.
  • In Hollywood and Bollywood they will show that villian gets completely destroyed in the end.
  • But here though the villians get destroyed portions of them survive and they are also able to inflict damage on the hero i.e. good guys.
  • Worth watching according to me.
