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.

Dhurandar

• This movie was watched on the big screen.
• Very good performances by all the actors.
• Too good direction and music.

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

• 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.

• Fully enjoyable movie.

De De Pyaar De 2

• This movie was watched on big screen.
• 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.
• Worth watching.

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.

Sunny Sanskari, Kantara

Watched few movies over the past few days.

Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari

• Watched this movie on the big screen.
• Too good movie.
• But there were two scenes which did not go down with me.
• One was swimming pool pissing scene.
• And next was chest competition scene between the heroines.
• Apart from that movie was good.
• They have taken a seven star resort on hire and shot the movie over there.
• Definitely can be watched once without any problem.

Kantara Chapter 1

• This movie was watched on the big screen.
• It continues old Kantara story and shows "prequel".
• While first part invoked Lord Vishnu and mainly the "Varaha Avatar".
• This latest part invoked both Lord Shiva and Lord Durga.
• It is mish mash of various Gods and Goddesses and the story takes shape.
• Thing is movies like this cant be described.
• It has to be watched while being "arrested" in a seat.
• And then only you will get the movie.

Charidham, Heer Express

Watched the above movies over the past few days.

Charidham : A Journey Within

• Watched this Odia movie on the big screen.
• Nice performance by Anubhav Mohanty.
• Definitely worth watching.
• You watch this movie and realize that  this is a unique movie because it is Odia movie which is neither Hindi nor South based and it different.

Heer Express

• This movie was watched on the big screen.
• The name of the movie shows that who is the main character.
• Heer i.e. is the name of the heroine and she is the main character.
• Rest of the actors are like side roles.
• Heer Express means Heer is the main engine and bogie plus the destination.
• Movie is set and shot in Indian Punjab and UK, mainly London.
• Can be watched once without any problem.

Homebound, Vaastav, Tron Ares

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

Homebound

• Watched this movie on the big screen.
• After a brief background on their stories, the second half of the movie deals with the "homebound story" of the main actors from Surat to UP during the pandemic, i.e. Covid 19.
• Unfortunately one of them does not make it back and that is the story.
• Definitely worth watching once.

Vaastav (Odia movie)

• This Odia movie was watched on the big screen.
• What I saw that many people had come to the see the movie when they were actually involved in the movie, including the actors, the producers and other people.
• The producers had probably booked in bulk in the theatre.
• But it was too bad there was no public patronage available.
• Means there were very few members of the public.
• Needless to say the film was withdrawn from the screen in just three days with very few shows.
• It takes so much time and effort to make a movie but it gets wiped out so easily.
• But for me the movie was as good as a blockbuster.
• But I was sad it did not run.

Tron Ares

• This movie was watched on the big screen.
• It had one of my favorite personalities, the 30 second To Mars front man Jared Leto.
• And hence the movie was worthwhile.
• In addition to incredible special effects.
• Definitely worth watching.

Coolie, Ek Deewane, Taj Story, Thamma

Watched several movies over the past few days.

Coolie

• This Rajnikanth starrer movie was watched on Prime Video
• I liked the movie.
• The movie focusses on Vizag or Visakhapatnam as the city and it is the center of the story.
• There are several movies based on Chennai or Hyderabad or even Mumbai.
• Visakhapatnam is new and it is a project to make it as focus and it will take time.
• Gamechanger was based on Vizag and now this movie.
• Definitely this movie worth watching.
• How they make the dead bodies vaporize in 10 minutes smacks of similarity to "rapture".

Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniayat

• This movie was watched on big screen.
• This movie has definitely a "magnetic pull" after success of re release of "Sanam Teri Kasam".
• Intense looks by Harshavardhan Rane and Sonam Bajwa in trailer pulls you to theatre.
• Songs are also good.
• Story is good. 
• From trailer you feel Sonam Bajwa is big politician and Harshwardhan Rane is bodyguard or someone similar. But in story it is actually opposite.
• Definitely worth watching.

The Taj Story

• This movie was watched on big screen.
• This movie tries to bellittle Mughal history and say that Mughals contributed nothing to India and Indian history.
• I will say that this movie is worth watching.
• To get alternate view of history.
• Movies are make believe.
• If movie like Bahubali is worth watching so will be movie like Taj Story.

Thamma

• This movie was watched on big screen.
• This movie intertwines vampire story with Indian legendary story of Maha Kali.
• Also shows that certain regions are only accessible through "portals"
• Else simple ariel photography would show the vampire locations.
• Definitely can be watched once without any problem.

Love in Vietnam, Baaghi 4

Have watched watched the below movies over the past few days.

Love in Vietnam

• This Shantanu Maheshwari Avneet Kaur movie was watched on the big screen.
• I liked the movie and I had seen that the Vietnamese actress is also one top actor in Vietnam.
• What they have made is remarkable.
• It could be "inspired" from real stories.
• With lakhs of Indians moving out the country annually, it is quite possible that several Indians could be involved in romantic affairs abroad and may be getting their foreign friends pregnant.
• Even if it happens one in hundred thousand it still happens and it matters.
• Too bad the movie was not a hit.
• I personally felt it was well made.
• You have to watch the full movie to draw conclusion.
• If you walk though halfway you never get to know.

Baaghi 4

• This Tiger Shroff movie was watched on big screen.
• I liked the movie.
• Tiger Shroff is quite dependable character.
• He captures the West Coast of India vibes quite well. Not just Mumbai but the entire West Coast of India.
• Action sequences are very well portrayed and captured.
• Costumes are great.
• Miss India heroine who makes debut also does well.
• And so does Sanjay Dutt.
• Definitely worth watching.

Conjuring, Param Sundari, Jugnuma, Lokah

Watched several more movies over the past few days

The Conjuring : Last Rites

• This movie was watched on the big screen.
• I liked the way the movie transports you to the 1960's and 1980's and they do it well.
• Apart from the scary moments that is the most important aspect of the movie.
• Definitely worth watching once at least.

Param Sundari

• This movie was watched on the big screen.
• It captures north south difference quite well.
• Definitely a "feel good" kind of movie.
• Can be watched without any problem

Jugnuma

• This movie was watched on the big screen.
• What they have shown in the movie is simple.
• They have shown that hero attaches wings and flies. 
• That could mean air travel and specifically international travel.
• In the end entire family flies and that could mean they left for abroad.
• Fires happens due to fireflies is too far fetched.
• But it can mean that their genes get altered.
• How and why? Nothing is mentioned but we can say that climate change could be reason.

Lokah Chapter 1

• This Hindi dubbed Malayalam movie was watched on the big screen.
• Great movie with great quality of finishing.
• Definitely worth watching.
• It reminded me of the movie Let Me In
• But they have made Dracula like character as hero.
• Definitely if they don't do evil things they are like hero or perhaps superhero.
• But the character will continue to live after the ordinary humans pass away.
• That is the story.

OG, Jolly LLB, Demon Slayer, Mirai

Watched several movies over the past few days. mentioned as below:

They Call him OG

• This Pawan Kalyan Hindi dubbed movie of Telugu movie was watched on the big screen
• Too good movie with lots of action.
• This Pawan Kalyan guy turns out to be a top Samurai warrior from Japan.
• Definitely worth watching.
• Though his name is OG towards the end they have shown also mentioned is "Original Gangster"

Jolly LLB Part 3

• This Jolly LLB movie was watched on the big screen.
• Too good movie.
• Full of entertainment by both Jollies.

Demon Slayer : Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle 

• This Japanese Anime movie was watched on the big screen.
• Too good movie with showing of an "infinity castle" which turns around and endless pathways emerge.
• Definitely worth watching.

Mirai

• This Mirai Hindi dubbed version of Telugu movie was watched on the big screen.
• Mirai means the Kodanda of "Kodanda Ram" means the bow and arrow of Lord Ram who is one of the most important deities in Hindu culture.
• They have also adopted the story of Thanos where you own all the stones and you become all powerful.
• Here they have not made up stones but "books" totalling nine.
• And final book makes you supreme being.
• But the fact is in front of Lord Ram and Vishnu you are nobody.
• Lord Vishnu is the most powerful being in the Universe and Lord Ram is Avatar and thus the villain perishes.

War 2, Bring Her Back, Nobody 2, The Roses

Watched four movies as mentioned above.

War 2

• This movie was watched on big screen.
• I liked the movie.
• They have got 80's and 90's movie mix into 2020's.
• The way they have shown how orphans who live in streets grow up to become secret agents of India.
• It is okay for one time watch. 

Bring Her Back

• This Australian classic horror movie was watched on big screen.
• It can be considered the sequel to "Talk to Me" which was box office hit plus critically acclaimed.
• This movie also can be watched without any problem. 

Nobody 2

• This movie was watched on big screen.
• Nobody Part 1 was too great action.
• Nobody part 2 introduces the family and action continues into rural America.
• Critics may pan this movie but I liked it.
• Definitely can be watched once without any problem.
• We should not compare Part 1 and Part 2 though. 

The Roses

• This movie was watched on the big screen.
• This movie turned out to be better than what I thought.
• Their title is Rose and hence the movie is "The Roses" 
• Too good action and story and performances.
• Definitely deserves applause.
• Worth watching. 

Squid Game, Housefull 5A

Watched the above series and movie over the past few days.

Squid Game Seasons 2 and 3

• I had seen Squid Game Season 1 in 2021.
• And this Squid Game concludes with Season 2 and 3.
• I have liked this concept of Squid Game and if we come to realise that almost all TV shows involving game play are like Squid Game.
• Only thing is that in those games like "Kaun Banega Karodpati" people don't die. 
• But they get "eliminated" means they exit the show and figuratively it is same as "death".
• More we think about it, even real life is like Squid Game.
• In real life people do die.
• As a matter of fact death is the only reality.
• People do not realise that one who is born into this world is bound to die.
• Coming back to the series it is too good and worth watching.
• The dialogue in the end "we are humans and not horses" is too good. 

Housefull 5A 

• I had seen Housefull 5B on the big screen 
• And this one I saw on Prime Video.
• I liked the movie.
• Okay to watch once definitely even if you have seen the other part.
• Like I had read only in last 20 minutes or so is the difference there in 5A and 5B. 

Bhool Chuk Maaf, Mahavatar Narsimha, Weapons

Watched three movies as mentioned above.

Bhool Chuk Maaf

• This movie was watched on Prime Video.
• I liked the movie.
• It is like a feel good movie where everything turns out well in the end. 

Mahavatar Narsimha

• This movie was watched on the big screen.
• It was better than what I had imagined.
• This was so satisfying to the soul.
• I could not help but imagine that Prahlada is Palestine and HiranyaKashyap is Israel and Lord Vishnu is God Almighty or Allah by whatever name you can call.
•  Like we Indians say "Bhagwan Ke Ghar main deir hai Andher nahin"
• Means in Lords home there is hope and not despair.
• Worth watching where we can relate Ancient Indian stories in the present world. 

Weapons

• This movie was watched on the big screen.
• I liked the movie concept where the movie slowly reveals itself with characters.
• Initially it is confusing but with each character the story becomes more and more clear.
• Movie deals with witchcraft and how people become like weapons in the hands of the witch. 
• The witch can use them as weapons as she pleases.
•  In a sense this movie is like "Laapata Ladies" where you think movie is complex but actually is a simple story.

 

Jurassic World, F1, Saiyaara, Son of Sardaar

Watched few more movies as mentioned above.

Jurassic World : Rebirth

• This movie was watched on the big screen
• Too good movie.
• It shows a bit like how imperialists go to equator type climate to "loot and plunder".
• Dinosaurs just happen to be a "metaphor".

F1

• This movie was watched on the big screen.
• This Brad Pitt character in the movie is like a real "alpha male".
• Difficult to beat an alpha male like Brad Pitt character.
• Let us face it actual F1 is much more "dynamic" with involvement of hundreds if not thousands of people more.
• But this movie does an honest effort to bring the characters of F1 to life.
• Worth watching and there is no doubt that this movie getting highest rating in Book My Show.

Saiyaara

• This movie was watched on the big screen.
• What I felt that this movie does not show anything special or new.
• Lovers getting separated and meeting again after few months or years has been shown in countless movies, movies like Jab We Met among others.
• What this movie brings in is two new actors who became superstars literally overnight.
• Needless to say those two actors must have gone into shock.
• They would not have imagined it would have such a big hit.
• Now a new life awaits them as their private lives would become public and they would be chased by "Paparazzi".

Son of Sardaar 2

• This movie was watched on the big screen.
• Very good performances by all actors.
• I liked the movie.
• Special mention I would like to make is of Deepak Dobriyal who is just unrecognizable as a Transgender.
• I mean the movie got finished then I realized that Deepak Dobriyal was not erroneously mentioned in the credits. He is in the movie. 
• Also the India Pakistan link is vital in the movie. Else the story would just "derail".

Gamechanger, Novocaine, Nilgiris

Watched the above three movies over the past few days.

Gamechanger

• Watched this Ram Charan starring movie on Zee 5.
• Too good movie. 
• I saw intense acting by Ram Charan and other actors.
• It is blend of Tamil and Telugu stars and is too good.
• It will make you want to watch more performances by the actors like in their earlier movies.

Novocaine

• This movie was watched on Prime Video.
• Too good fast paced movie.
• Movie was nice but just my personal opinion here that the tattoo artist did not deserve the beating which the hero gave.

Nilgiris : A Shared Wilderness

• This was watched on the big screen
• Too good movie and shown wildlife of Nilgiris which is near Ooty.
• Perhaps one of its kind is this Nilgiris Biosphere Reserve and definitely needs to be preserved for future generations.

Kuberaa, Final Destination, 28 Years

Watched three more movies as mentioned above.

Kuberaa

• Watched this movie on the bog screen.
• What I found that some people have too much money and for time pass they make movies for the entertainment of us public.
• Just like for time pass we watch movies, they for time pass make movies and they are rich.
• Like even if someone gave us a lot of money we would not be able to make movies as we don't have the expertise and knowhow and skills.
• So we leave the job of filmmaking to them and we enjoy the movie.
• Another thin is Dhanush actor has a lot of fans in India and even if he portrays a beggar still people love his role.
• Worth watching this movie like for mix of Bollywood and Telugu and Tamil cultures.

Final Destination

• This movie was watched on the big screen.
• Just the ways people die in the movie is terrifying to watch.
• But definitely worth watching this movie.

28 Years Later

• This movie was watched on the big screen.
• This movie as experts have written shows the British people "wallowing in self pity".
• After what they have done to the rest of the world for centuries, the British have definitely punished themselves with such a movie or at least shown themselves as such being punished.
• Whether wiggling as worms, or mountain of skulls or living without technology for decades, means what is available across the water in European mainland is not available in the Island.
• Subjected to sea blockade by the Europeans.
• The British are severely punished with no signs of reprieve.
• Worth watching this one.
