No Time to Die, Resident Evil, Edge of Tomorrow, Mulan, Kuruthi

Watched 5 movies as mentioned in the subjectline

No Time to Die

• This movie was seen IMAX 3D at PVR Forum Mall.
• I liked the movie.
• The way story progresses is perfect from the point of view of James Bond.
• James Bond and UK win all the way.
• They have already shown black plus woman 007 in the movie.
• Is there anything more to show.
• We have to see how the next James Bond 007 movie shows.
• Like they say in the movie 007 is just a number.

Resident Evil

• This Racoon City reboot is hell of a movie.
• Movie was watched at PVR Forum Mall IMAX screen.
• Movie is without the Artificial Intelligent element shown in the first Resident Evil movie.
• Movie is worth watching.

Edge of Tomorrow

• This movie is also worth watching. 
• I watched in Netflix.
• In this movie also everything works in favour of the hero.
• Concepts shown in the movie are definitely believable.

Mulan

• This movie was seen on Disney+ Hotstar.
• Since I saw this immediately following Edge of Tomorrow I must say both movies are lot similar.
• There is a unit shown in the movie and that unit bonding works till the end.
• And there is invasion from "outsiders" or in other words "aliens" in both the movies.

Kuruthi

• This Malyalam movie is must watch.
• This movie was watched on Amazon Prime Video.
• Malyalam movies are in class different from Bollywood.
• Such kind of movie cannot be made in Hindi Bollywood no doubt about it.
• Definitely it is worth watching.

Sooryavanshi, Nobody Sleeps, Satyameva Jayate 2, Eternals, Dhamaka

Watched five movies as mentioned in the subject line.

Sooryavanshi

• This movie released on Netflix today on 3rd December and I watched it immediately.
• Thus I did not see this on the big screen.
• And my OTT subscription worked in saving few bucks.
• Movie is a big headache. But okay for watching one time.
• This is also coming with sequel.
• Jackie Shroff is still alive in PoK and Singham Ajay Devgan has told he would come after him.
• So we know what the sequel would be about.

Nobody Sleeps in the Woods Tonight

• I must say this movie is great.
• This is Polish movie and just started watching the sequel. It too appears too good.
• Part 1 starts in a jungle camp and goes deep into forests.
• Worth watching the terror by two deformed guys infected with an alien meteor.

Satyameva Jayate 2

• This movie was watched on PVR Forum Mall.
• There are three copies of John Abraham.
• One is Green, Orange and White just like the colours of the Indian flag.
• The one who is the white is the father who is already dead mans white in the flag stands for the spirit of Indians who have already died in the cause of the motherland.
• Movie is worth watching at least once, not more.

Eternals

• This movie was seen in PVR, Forum Mall on the IMAX screen.
• Movie is too good.
• There are the Celestials, Eternals and the Deviants, three category of beings in the Universe.
• The concept is good and special effects are too good.
• Worth watching at least once, not more I think.

Dhamaka

• This movie was seen on Netflix.
• Movie is too good.
• If you are Karthik Aryan fan even better.
• Movie proves that every action has a reaction.
• And Law of Karma can chase one to ones end.
• There is no escape.
• Movie is worth watching at least once, not more I think.

Hellbound, Jungle Cruise, Antim

Watched three movies and series as mentioned above:

Hellbound

• This South Korean series I saw on Netflix.
• I liked the series which consists of six episodes.
• The phenomena shown in the movie is "Random" or "Ordained by God" that is the crucial message and point in the movie.
• The story is deeply philosophical.
• There are a lot of things in the series which cannot be written in a simple blog post.
• Overall worth watching
  

Jungle Cruise

• This movie was watched on Disney+ Hotstar.
• This one movie I did not see in theatre and managed to see on OTT.
• Too good a movie.
• The big spoiler of the movie is that "The Rock" Dwayne is "undead".
• He is also Algerian as is shown in the movie.
• Movie is similar to Indiana Jones and Mummy series movie.
• But there is also fantasy involved like of which may not happen in real life.
  

Antim:The Final Truth

• This movie was watched on PVR Cinemas Forum Mall.
• Yes people I got voucher and so I used it to buy a ticket and watch a movie on the big screen.
• Antim:The Final truth means death which is also known as the "final destination".
• Movie shows that if you do wrong deeds the fianl truth comes sooner to you.
• All people come with "expiry date" and those who do wrong deeds, their expiry date is in the past.
• Means it is just a matter of time before they expire.
• That is the message of the movie.
  

Ertuğrul, Don't Breathe, House of Secrets, My Next Guest

Watched the above series and movie as mentioned.

Ertuğrul Season 4 Episode 2

• I completed Ertuğrul Season 3 and have now stepped to Season 4.
• At the end of Season 3 Ertuğrul supposedly dies and we have to now wait till Episode 2 of Season 4 to realise that Ertuğrul has survived the brutal attack by Commander Ares.
• Last I had seen till Season 3 Episode 87 
• I must say episode by episode the series keeps increasing in quality and technical details.
• This is must watch.
  

Don't Breathe

• This movie now has a sequel.
• Since sequel has already come out I had not seen Part 1 and so watched it.
• Movie is worth watching according to me.
• Cannot wait to watch the sequel.
  

House of Secrets : The Burrari Deaths

• This 3 part series/documentary on deaths which happened in Burrari area of Delhi in July 2018 is must watch.
• It gives a total "immersive experience".
• You become part and parcel of the story.
• It is like virtual reality.
• From your screen you get transported to the world of Burrari and what happened over there.
• The gist of the story is that "blind belief" of "Andh bhakti" is dangerous and can lead to incident like Burrari deaths where people commit "mass suicide".
• People need to realise the faults and futility of "andhbhakti"
• If they don't realise this such of incidents can keep repeating.
  

My Next Guest with David Lettermen and Shah Rukh Khan

• This one episode was watched on Netflix.
• After seeing this episode I realised that Shah Rukh Khan the superstar story is no less than a story by itself.
• You can make a movie or web series on Shah Rukh Khan story life and how big a superstar he became.
• His life story can become a story by itself.
• Just by watching the 1 hour feature you can realise it.
  

Ertuğrul Season 3 Episode 87, Jai Bheem, Dybukk

 Watched the above series and movies as mentioned.

Ertuğrul Season 3 Episode 87

• This series I have watched in Express mode on Netflix and reached Episode 87 now.
• Last till 5th November I had seen till Episode 67
• I must say that starting from around Episode 70 (not sure exactly) the battle scenes have been made really graphic and realistic.
• Earlier we saw one-on-one battles but now we can see one fighting many on the battlefield.
• That is normally how Middle Ages war would have been. Pretty bloody.
• Now till Episode 87, lot of people have died in battle or enemy action. Some of them as below:
  
• Aliyar Bey
• Ural Bey
• Kutluca
• Vasilius dies in Episode 86
• Several Alps and Commanders also hove died
  
• Even Sultan Alladin gets poisoned by Emir Sadettin and comes very close to death.
• If not saved by Ibn-Arabi he would have been gone and tossed the Seljuk Sultanate and Turkmen tribes into anarchy.
• Now only 4 episodes remain in Season 3.
• Cannot wait to complete and move on to Season 4.
  

Jai Bheem

• This was watched on Amazon Prime Video.
• I will say we read about police brutality news reports all the time but this movie actually shows the scenes.
• It is too painful.
• Even today such kind of news pops up from time to time.
• It is actually sad story here in India.
• Rule of law and tough rule under baton have been brought by the British under colonial rule no doubt about it. But too difficult for India to shake it off.
• Plus race and colour and caste differences remain and will remain till eternity. No one can extinguish it.
  

Dybukk

• This movie was watched on Amazon Prime Video.
• Movie is okay for a one time watch.
• I will say not much horror but the director has tried hard to fill with scary scenes.

Ertuğrul Episode 67, Wrong Turn, Raya and The Last Dragon

Watched the above series and movie as mentioned.

Ertuğrul Episode 67

• This is on Netflix
  
• Last I had watched till Episode 60.
• Now tragedy has personally visited Ertuğrul.
• Dundar Bey has been captured and Dogan Alp has been killed.
• This is a tragedy of very personal nature as Dundar Bey is Ertuğrul's brother and Dogan Alp is an associate since long. 
• He was part of core team of Ertuğrul alongwith Bamsi and Turgut.
• They were like a "Quad". 
• Now one corner of the Quad is gone.
• Hacaturyan the Armenian is also killed by Ural bey.
• I will say the series has taken a turn for the worse.
• Vasilius has proved to be a real deadly villian as has Ural Bey who has got himself associated with Vasilius in spite of Vasilius hatred of all Turks including Ural Bey himself.
  

Wrong Turn

• This movie was watched on Prime Video.
• Here not American Indians, not Blacks not "hillbillies", not Nazis, not Jews, not Asians but white people who have total knowledge of outside world have built a hidden society in Virginia and just take anyone prisoner or kill them who trespass upon them.
• Movie is worth watching.
• I liked it.
  

Raya and The Last Dragon

• This movie came in Hotstar and I liked it.
• The "Ba" who is the father character looks like Vidyut Jamwal.
• Movie is set in South East Asia setting and has some similarity to Indians and perhaps East Asians also.
• The dragons are serpentine who are the Asian dragons and the "good guys".
• The Western dragon like shown in Game of Thrones are the villians like shown in Shangchi movie.
• But in this movie the villian is not another dragon but some pink colour force which turns every living thing to stone and steals the greenery and water.
• Worth watching.
