Behen Hogi Teri, Supermodel

Watched two movies as mentioned in the subject line.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Behen Hogi Teri
  • Watched this movie at Innovative Multiplex, Marathalli.
  • This movie is too good. In fact I am tempted to rate it 5 star.
  • Rajkummar Rao is too good an actor.
  • I mean I have seen him in Shahid and Love Sex Dokha and Ragini MMS.
  • Here the performance is just too good.
  • We can safely assume that Rajkummar Rao is like Tom cruise or Aamir Khan. Any movie we see of them would be of very good quality.
  • There are also Gulshan Grover and Ranjith in the movie and their performance is also good.
  • The guy who plays his father and Shruti Hassan brother and his friend also have done tremendous performance.
  • Kamlesh Gill (who plays Dadi), Darshan Jariwala (Rajkummar's father), Ninad Kamat (Shruti's brither), Herry tangiri (Rajkummar's friend) all have done very good performance  
  • Ninad Kamat is a very old actor and in this movie he has become very fat that is visible.
  • Gutam Gulati also has guest performance and I would like to say his voice is just too deep and husky and too good.
  • I will say this movie is far better than Raabta.
  • I will not compare it with teh Mummy because Mummy is in a different category altogether.
  • But it is definitely better than Raabta.
  • Maybe if Raabta was set in India it could have been comparable. Instead of Croatia and Austria it could have been set in Delhi and Rajasthan.
  • But this movie is set in Lucknow and shows the sights and sounds of Lucknow.
  • Maybe it was shot in the age of Akhilesh Yadav and not under BJP such kind of movies may become rare because BJP is a party which wants to instill fear and are against the arts. Unless it is of the Sanghi type.
  • This movie is a Hindi movie and we can say that Hindi identity is maintained due to movies like this.
  • Shruti Haasan also does a very good performance and resembles a 60's 70's Hollywood actress as certain bits. She looks just too beautiful. I have seen her in that D Day and Ramaiya Vastavaiya and I was not expecting much from her but she just is too good in the movie.
  • Movie is definite must watch.
  • Better to be watched on big screen.
  • Few movies are there which I will recommend to watch in big screen.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Supermodel
This movie was watched on Airtel Digital TV Miniplex HD Channel after recording on pen drive.
This movie stars Asmit Patel and Veena Malik and deals with how in a craze to become the only contender a model "takes out" her competitors.
And ends up in jail towards the end. It is a murder mystery.
Since a model does just too much hard work like she dances when told to, sacrifices food and dons bikinis according to her she went the "extra mile" to get success by doing the unthinkable like eliminating competition.

Dobara, The Mummy, Raabta

Watched three movies as mentioned in the subject line.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dobara
This movie was watched at PVR Cinemas Forum mall.
Had to see the movie because wanted to see how bad it is.
But what I felt that this movie is not that bad.
I mean I have seen the movie "Oculus" and this is a copy.
I guess it is a timepass movie. You lose your money if you watch it in a big screen but you don't lose much time because the movie is of one and half hour. We have to appreciate the efforts of the artists.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Mummy
This movie was watched at Carnival Cinemas Rockline mall after taking movie card at www.moviecardindia.com
  • This movie less about "the Mummy" and more about Tom Cruise.
  • We can safely assume that any Tom Cruise movie we see, it will be of very high quality.
  • Tom Cruise sets the bar. I mean he is great actor and makes the entire movie about himself.
  • No superhero movie can match upto Tom Cruise movie.
  • Tom Cruise is bigger than any superhero.
  • He does not need a cape and a hood to be a superhero.
  • Tom Cruise made the movie "The Mummy" and twisted it towards himself.
  • This is much like Mission Impossible series or Jack Reacher and all of the rest of Tom Cruise movies.
  • But this movie is must watch and 100 times better than Dobara or Raabta.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Raabta
This movie was watched at Balaji theatre at Tavarakere.
  • This movie is poor.
  • It will give you headache.
  • But still can be watched once mainly for the effort by three main actors of the movie.
  • I felt Kirti Sanon has got the best role in the movie.
  • Sushant Sing Rajput has proven that he is capable of much more. He can play action roles like John Abraham or Vidyut Jamwal. Mere romantic roles will not suit him.
  • The other guy Jim Sarbh also does a fine role in the beginning when he is introduced and then the director makes a mess of his character. he is also capable of much more and perhaps can be hero as well.

OK Jaanu, Wonder Woman

Watched two movies as mentioned in the subject line.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
OK Jaanu
Watched this movie on Amazon prime Video. Movie is okay for a one time watch.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Wonder Woman
This movie was watched Maheshwari 4K theatre at Bannerghatta Road.
I liked the movie.
  • This movie is an anti war movie. As to how war needs to be prevented at all costs. That is in-spite of the fact that Wonder Woman deals with an Amazon tribe of Ancient Greece.
  • It is welcome to see that Wonder Woman belongs to earth. I mean we have just too many Superheroes who have extra terrestrial origins. Wonder Woman is welcome change.
  • Towards the end it is shown that she gets in touch with Bruce Wayne aka Batman. So we can definitely see more of Wonder Woman in the future.
  • The setting is First World War and the villain happens to be with the British side who is Aries from Ancient Greece.
Movie can definitely watched once without any problem. It deserves all the success it is getting and that is my opinion.

Baywatch, Taylor and Burton

Watched two movies as mentioned in the subject line.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Baywatch
This movie was watched at Lakshmi Theatre Tavarakere on the big screen. Movie is okay for a one time watch.
I will say there are two ways to look at the movie, one is the American view and second is the Indian view.
In American view the movie is great and all actors have done a great role and Priyanka Chopra is a great villian and gets blown into pieces in the end. She is different than traditional villians who re males usually and who are mostly Mexican or other Europeans not allied with Americans
Kudos to Dwayne Johnson who takes the villian out. He is a true American hero. Even Zac Efron has done a great role. Also a Chinese business man is kept hostage by villian and gets rescued by the Baywatch team. Hence the movie seems to imply that Chinese are better than Indians. That is my opinion.
In Indian view it is bad. People will pay or rather not pay money to go to a movie and see modern day Mother India blown to bits. Yes she gets eliminated and her hand is the only part which remains intact at least that is what they have shown.
Priyanka Chopra or modern day Mother India is shown as a drug dealer and not only that she has wants to acquire all the properties in the Bay area and Indians work like that as well. They consider and have proven Bay of Bengal bordering India as their own 😉
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Taylor and Burton
This movie was watched on Tata Sky Movie on Demand video which has got downloaded to pen drive automatically.
Movie is okay for a one time watch.
The fact is that if one makes a historical movie one can chose to ignore what really happened and make it as they wish. But it is fact that entire gamut of what had or has happened cannot be captured in a movie made several years or decades later. One has bound to become selective.

Pirates of the Carribean: Salazar's revenge, The Attacks of 26-11

Watched two movies as mentioned in the subject line.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pirates of the Carribean: Salazar's revenge
Movie was watched at Carnival cinemas after taking movie pass at www.moviecardindia.com
This movie is okay for a one time watch.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Attacks of 26-11
This movie was watched on Airtel Movies App on mobile.
Actually I was reading my SMS and deleting those one by one when I saw that I can watch movies using Airtel movies App which comes free with my broadband.
Movie is okay for a one time watch. It is shows the inhuman side of terrorism and how no religioun will advocate violence against innocents.

Sports Strategy with Pakistan

Sports Strategy with Pakistan
  • I will say that the sports strategy being followed with Pakistan by India is highly flawed and dangerous.
  • India or at least a handful of people who call the shots in India do not want sports with Pakistan or Pakistani players.
  • They are targeting the "peaceniks" (or people who want peace) on both sides of the border.
  • I would like to say This strategy is very dangerous and can lead to war.
  • We know that Modi Govt is a failure at all levels.
  • They are following "divide and rule" policy throughout the length and breadth of the country.
  • Their central philosophy is "create hatred towards Pakistan" and keep it alive.
  • Their another strategy is to take terror using Indian Army to the Kashmiri people.
  • They are targeting Muslims through beef ban and GauRakshak squad and anti-Romeo squads.
  • Now what is happening is that Muslims, Kashmiris and Pakistanis are getting pushed to a corner.
  • Now we know when someone is pushed to a corner his only escape is to strike back.
  • Same is true of a wild animal, dog or human.
  • Now India and the policymakers who dictate those want Pakistan or Muslim or someone to strike back.
  • And when they strike back the response of India will be even more fierce.
  • We know that prevention is better than cure.
  • Prevention in this context is "resuming sports" with Pakistan.
  • Because if sports activities is not resumed soon, there will be 'strike back' by disgruntled people on Indian sports person.
  • We know what happened in 1972 Olympics Munich where Israeli players were targeted and Israel then waged a war which resulted in the deaths of hundreds and thousands.
  • What happened in Munich was sad but the response from Israel was even more furious.
  • I feel India through its craze of wanting to "isolate Pakistan" diplomatically, economically and through sports, wants some people to commit acts of terror by pushing them into a corner.
  • Who are these people who will be the terrorists?
  • These terrorists can be the so called Islamic State who ate nothing but an artificial entity created by Israel, Britain and US to create acts of terror in Muslim dominated countries and being discredit to Muslim religion.
  • They can be like "Pirates" who carry out "false flag" operations. Example if Britain wants to attack Spain and does not want to use its own ships then it pays pirates to use French flag and attack Spain. So the blame falls on France. This is only an example.
  • The would be terrorists may not have any linkage to Kashmir struggle or Pakistan or Indian Muslims.
  • I feel that this kind of attack may happen not in India but in a neutral venue like England which is due to hold the Champions Trophy.
  • Because if it happens in India, the world will say that Indian fringe elements did it. And it was Indian security and strategic failure to prevent such an attack
  • But if it happens in a neutral venue then the blame will directly fall on Pakistan.
  • If such an attack does not happen soon, very likely that India and Israel will stage a "false flag" attack sou-moto and blame it on the so called Islamic State and Pakistan backed it.
  • And then they will try to isolate Pakistan even more.
  • Balochistan and PoK strategy of divide and rule of Modi govt is failing.
  • Modi Govt has been unable to isolate Pakistan either diplomatically or economically. CPEC is an example.
  • If anything Pakistan is getting stronger.
  • But an attack on sportsperson in a neutral ground or country will trip the balance and will isolate Pakistan completely.
  • We need to "prevent it from happening". And only way to do it is for Pakistan and India to work together and resume sports activities between themselves.
  • Else sports will not remain as a peace maker in the history of humanity but will be the cause for 1000's of years of conflict which the world does not want to see or experience.

30 Minutes, Blue Mountains, Sachin a Billion Dreams, Half Girlfriend, The Perfect Girl

Watched five movies as mentioned in the subject line.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
30 Minutes
Watched this movie on Airtel Miniplex HD Channel after recording on pen drive.

Sachin a Billion Dreams
This movie was watched at Rockline Mall Carnival Cinemas after taking a moviepass which allows me to watch unlimited movies www.moviecardindia.com
This movie is like a documentary and not a movie in strict sense. One thing I can say that even if one does not know anything about cricket still this movie will be appreciated by them.
Definitely okay for a one time watch.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Half Girlfriend
This movie was watched at PVR Phoenix Market City for second time. Actually I accompanied my family members who had not seen the movie.
I will say when watched second time this movie does not feel as good as when it was watched the first time and certainly I will never go for it a third time. Two times is just too much.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Perfect Girl

This movie deals with a boy and a girl who meet in Goa and then go on with their lives and meet 14 years later and incredible both are still available for each other.
