Madam Chief Minister, The Little Things, Misbehaviour

 Watched three movies as mentioned above.

Madam Chief Minister

• This movie was watched at PVR Vega City Mall at Bannerghatta Road.
• I liked the movie.
• I felt the movie was promising but then it crash lands.
• I mean the movie is made under Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath patronage what can you expect.
• They have trashed the character of Madam Chief Minister and people die left right center.
• Also they have made the female Chief Minister as a dubious character who in the ends keeps her husband in a vegetative state for the sake of power.
• So, they have trashed women leaders as well.
• What can you expect of BJP and RSS not only they are anti caste but anti women as well.
• Movie is okay as no movies are coming and this movie gives good entertainment.
• Worth watching once at least.
  

The Little Things

• This movie was watched at PVR Forum Mall.
• You see this movie and feel there was never a pandemic in the first place.
• I will say Covid 19 was an "artificial manufactured news of a pandemic" just to get rid of Real Donald Trump.
• And now Donald Trump is gone as President, things are back to normal or so it seems.
• But Trump never said the Pandemic was fake. What he kept repeating was "China Virus" but that could not save him as well.
• Movie is worth watching.
• But when Jared Leto was innocent why did he have to die I could not understand.
  

Misbehaviour

• This movie was watched at PVR Vega City.
• I liked the movie.
• It is worth watching.
• You can review from any website and I believe the reviews are genuine.
• But Greg Kinnear role is exaggerated. He does not have that big role in the movie as is made out from the trailer.
  

Master, Monster Hunter

• Watched the movies as mentioned above in the screens.

Master

• This movie Tamil version with subtitles was watched on Amazon Prime Video.
• I must say the movie is full of great performances.
• You know the villian is all evil but still you fall in love with the character.
• More than halfway into the movie you see Vijay the hero taking action on the shopkeepers who are supplying free goodies to the villians people.
• While watching those scenes I thought only in Tamil movie we can see something like that.
• I mean what is the fault of the shopkeepers. They are just trying to be part of the system which always existed.
• Why attack them.
• But when the villian takes action on the heroes close colleagues you get a sense why the villian is dangerous and needs to be eliminated.
• Thus the Director wants to eliminate the guilt on the viewers minds.
• Movie is worth watching according to me.
  

Monster Hunter

• This movie was watched on the big screen at Cinepolis, SJR Mail, Bannerghatta Road.
• I liked the movie.
• The direction of the movie is superb.
• Part of the job of the Director is to make the audience believe that what he is showing is actually happening.
• The stuff viewers see should appear real.
• Whether it is dragons or huge spiders crawling out of narrow holes.
  
• This movie has Chinese producers and generally speaking Chinese and Russian and Iranian people are against Americans.
• I mean they have respect and appreciate US military but still they will show them taking a beating.
• This movie shows that and US military battling monsters from a parallel universe but no so successfully.
• Tony Jaa is a real monster hunter. 
• So what if Tony Jaa is Thai, he is Asian and Chinese will definitely make Asian as hero.
  

Taandav

•  Watched this web series "Taandav" on Amazon Prime Video.
• I feel the series was just getting "warmed up" much like Saif Ali Khan in the last episode of the series.
• Then there was outcry and present ruling Govt. stepped in to play "spoilsport", now I feel the series will have sequels but they will be more or less 'under scrutiny'.
• Don't expect more fireworks from the series anymore.
• As more famous people are involved, they may have to become more "compliant" if not toeing the Govt line fully.
• But series is worth watching anyways.
• It keeps you engrossed as to "what is next".
  

Baaghi 3

• Watched this movie Baaghi 3 on Hotstar.
• Movie is shot in Serbia but they have made it as Syria.
• Movie deals with human trafficking for becoming human bombs.
• It would have been better if the movie would have dealt with just human trafficking.
• Rather than becoming suicide bombers just human trafficking would have been enough.
• Why would some people take people from India Pakistan Nepal to make them human bombs.
• Doesn't make sense.
• Are there not people in their own countries to become human bombs?
• Also towards the end credits it shows the movie is a copy of "Vettai" Tamil/Telugu movie.
• Coming back to action. Mind blowing action is shown in the movie.
• I will say Tiger Shroff does not need to do Rambo First Blood movie.
• As he has several movies where the action level is full 100 times what you may see in a traditional family Hindi movie.
• Do not try to get a sense of action. 
• Just leave your brain outside the theatre.
• But lucky for me I watched it on Hotstar. 
• But still it may prove to be waste of your precious time.
  
• I could afford the time and have no regrets. 
• Movie is okay for a one time watch.
  

Bolo Hau

• Watched this movie "Bolo Hau" means "Say Yes" is Deccani language at PVR Vega City Mall.
• I liked the movie. Worth watching once.
  
• Movie is full of Hyderabad dialect or Deccani Urdu.
• Movie deals with how the women folk are forced to marry according to family wishes and bury their love lives forever.
• Family sees status and background (caste and family) before marriage and that is a fact wherever the region lies in India or Indian sub continent.
  
• In the movie twist happens due to Gullu Dada or Gullu Baba who does "palti" or flip flop and works for love.
• But in reality it may not happen and the world would be full of people whose love stories have come crashing down and remain unfulfilled.
  

Laxmii

• Watched this movie "Laxmii" on Hotstar.
• Actually my Hotstar 1 year subscription is expiring on February 3, 2021.
• I do not know if I would be renewing again.
• So I making a point to watch a few movies before it expires.
• I still have yet to watch the last Season of American Horror Story (1984).
• It may not be possible now but if I renew I can watch it.
• Coming back to the movie "Laxmii" which was going to be titled as Laxmii Bomb but they changed the movie before release.
• The reason may not be respect to Laxmi Goddess but respect for the transgender community.
• As Laxmii in the movie is the story of a transgender who gets killed in the movie and comes to possess the body of Asif portrayed by Akshay Kumar.
• I will say there is no point criticising the movie.
• The movie shows Indian culture and Indian mentality in its raw form.
• That is who we Indians are.
• That is reality.
• If you cannot accept it then it is a problem.
• The movie is not the problem.
• Movie is definitely worth watching once.
  

Khuda Haafiz, The Secret Garden, 12 O Clock

 Watched three movies as mentioned in the subject line.

Khuda Haafiz

• This movie was watched on Hotstar. 
• I liked the movie.
• But my problem is why shoot in Uzbekistan and make it as "Noman" which sounds like "Oman" but is shown in the movie to be geographically located in "Yemen".
• If you shoot the movie in Uzbekistan you can set the story in Uzbekistan or you can make it as any Muslim Central Asian nation.
• Why make it as Arab country?
• Just to make the Arabic storyline. Which may not be required, if you ask me.
• Or maybe the financiers wanted it that way.
• Or maybe the makers wanted it to have "multi nation appeal" if the Arabs don't mind being shown as such.
• If it was set in Central Asia, Arabs would not be interested in the movie anymore as it does not concern them.
• Across nations geography, terrain, language, climate and culture will change.
  
• Movie is definitely good for a one time watch
  

The Secret Garden

• This movie was watched at PVR Cinemas, Forum Mall.
• I liked the movie.
• Actually British lost the Indian subcontinent when India gained freedom.
• Along with India loss, British lost several hill stations like Ooty, Shimla, Dalhousie, Darjeeling etc
• These hill stations were the repositories of hundreds of thousands of acres of parks and gardens which were like "secret gardens" for the British as the British almost single-handedly ruled India.
• The novel and the movie are by products from the loss of India to the British.
• Movie is okay for a one time watch.
  

12 O Clock

• This movie was watched at PVR Cinemas.
• I liked the movie.
• This is Ram Gopal Varma stable movie.
• The same Ram Gopa Varma who made "Raat" movie.
• In Raat movie there was Om Puri who spoke of "Ananta Andhera" means infinite darkness which surrounds little light that we can see and assume it to be reality.
• Same dialogue is repeated here by the Tantrik Guru Ashsish Vidyarthi who in spite of his knowledge about the darkness cannot save himself in the end.
• Many people fall victim to the sinister force in the movie.
