The Courier, Saina, Koi Jaane Na, Flight, The Mauritanian

Watched the above movies over the past month.

The Courier

  • This movie was watched at PVR  Forum Mall.
  • I liked the movie.
  • It shows the interaction between a British Man and a Soviet Spy.
  • Particularly it shows how the Cuban missile crisis unfolded.

Saina

  • This movie was watched at Inox, DN Regalia Mall.
  • This story captures the history of Saina Nehwal.
  • How she rises and falls and then rises again.
  • Movie is worth watching.
  • By interval in the movie she had already risen in her career.
  • The second half of the movie deals with how she "re-rises" again.

Koi Jaane Na

  • This movie was watched at Cinepolis, Esplanade Mall.
  • I liked the movie.
  • The movie is good in suspense factor as even I was unable to think who the villian was.
  • I thought other characters could be the killer but never though that the heroine herself was the killer.

Flight

  • This movie was watched at Cinepolis, Esplanade mall.
  • Movie is okay as it shows a journey in a private jet from Mumbai to Dubai which is "sabotaged". 
  • The hero manages to survive and sequel of the story is expected in 2023 as the story is to be continued.

The Mauritanian

  • This movie shows the journey of man from his home country where he is captured to Guantanamo bay.
  • Actually the person has stayed in Germany since young days and during his visit to his home country he gets captured and handed over to the Americans where he is forced to confess under torture and duress.
  • Movie shows how the so called "war on terror" actually becomes a "mental terror war on the captives"

Nomadland, 99 Songs, Voyagers

  • Today watched three movies as mentioned in the subject line.
  • Actually from tomorrow there is lockdown announced by the State Govt for Covid-19.
  • So cinemas and malls are going to be shut.
  • All the three movies were watched at PVR Cinemas, Forum Mall, Koramangala 
  • Movies were watched at 12:10, 14:35 and 17:10.
  • It was like I exited one theatre and entered another.
  • In between I just had the time to grab a quick bite of Zinger Burger at KFC.
  • ----------------------------------------------------
  • Nomadland
    • This movie I liked. Movie is definitely of award winning variety.
    • Movie captures silence, the silence when the crowds are gone or when the weather shows its colours or the silence of the "ghost towns" of America.
  • 99 Songs
    • This movie is definitely a piece of art.
    • Movie is shot in Maharashtra Western Ghats, Shillong, Udaipur among others.
    • It has come from the heart.
    • Definitely this movie is like Rock On 2 which also had Meghalaya connection or like Rockstar movie which also had A.R.Rahman footprint all over and it was also a classic musically.
  • Voyagers
    • This movie shows how children grow up and they become parents and grandparents and they are the ones who will inherit whatever the world has to offer.
    • This movie is like "Chaos Walking" or "Passengers" movie.
    • But here a mini "civil-war" breaks out when the subjects do not take the medicine allotted to them and the end result is the person who caused the mutiny perishes.
    • The rebels get the weapons kept for future generations and they become trigger happy.
    • Lynch mob is also shown in the movie where the Indian looking person is killed.
    • Looks like no matter how developed the society or western or eastern there is no answer to lynch mobs.
