Rescue, Candyman, Im not done yet

Watched three movies/ series as above

Rescue

  • This movie was seen on Tata Play Binge Bollywood Premiere Channel.
  • Movie about how a broker is captured by three girls in an apartment and is able to escape.
  • Movie is okay for a timepass watch.

Candyman

  • This is a real horror movie.
  • This was watched on Amazon Prime Video.
  • It captures how a black man becomes the candyman.
  • Obviously there is supernatural show in the movie.
  • Else the movie cannot work
  • Only a mere human cannot commit the crimes like Candyman can do.

I'm not done yet - Kapil Sharma

  • This Kapil Sharma standup show was watched on Netflix.
  • I must say that Kapil Sharma has plenty of jokes with respect to drinking alcohol.
  • In the one hour episode 15-20 minutes must have been with regard to drinking.
  • And he adds some "Tadka" to his stories.
  • Like he says something and then tells it is not true.
  • So much so that iin the end you do not know what is true and what is not.
  • But okay to watch once. To get a dose of Kapil.
  • Even if you don't watch his main show it still is good timepass.

Malignant, Tadap, Jai Mummy Di

Watched three movies as mentioned above.

Malignant

  • Watched this movie on Amazon Prime Video.
  • I liked the movie. Worth watching once.
  • This is a true horror movie.
  • But according to me it defies science.
  • What is shown in the movie violates all, physics, chemistry and biology.
  • No way it can happen in real life.

Tadap

  • This movie was watched on Tata Play Binge and Disney + Hotstar.
  • Movie is great movie for Ahan Shetty.
  • He becomes the victim in the movie and is also able to feature in several action sequences.
  • Movie shows something which may be quite real in real life but movie makes may consider it as sacreilage and will not dare to feature such kind of story.
  • They may only like to feature "textbook" love stories.

Jai Mummy Di

  • This movie was watched on Tata Play Bollywood Premiere channel.
  • Movie shows a slice of Delhi life.
  • This is comedy movie.
  • Worth watching once.
  • Both Sunny Singh the hero and Alok Nath are wasted.
  • All actors have done good job but could have been more.

Amma Ki Boli : Full on Family

  • Worth watching. It is like a survival movie.

4 Play

  • This movie was watched on Tata Sky Binge App and Hungama Play.
  • This is a Hindi dubbed movie from Telugu and so the Hindi is a bit like Hyderabadi language.

Justin Bieber Our World

  • This is one good documentary.
  • This was watched on Amazon Prime Video.

  • Hats off to Justin.

Paharganj

  • This movie was watched on Tata Sky recording box on Bollywood Premiere channel
  • Trust me you can watch this movie to get a slice of Delhi.

  • This movie was watched on Tata Sky recording box on Bollywood Premiere channel.
  • I liked the movie.
  • You get transported to Mathura where the movie is shot.

The Silent Sea, Ertugrul Episode 32, The Predator, Pushpa The Rise

Watched four movies and series as mentioned above.

The Silent Sea

  • This South Korean eight part series is must watch.
  • This was watched on Netflix
  • Twists and turns are there in the movie.
  • Actually earth suffers from loss of water and moon has water which is different.
  • The lunar water is like a virus and it has the power to multiply infinitely.
  • If brought to earth it can flood the earth in addition to killing the people who get in contact with it.
  • And that is what the story is all about.
  • There will be sequel as in this the water does not reach the earth.

Ertugrul Episode 32

  • Last I had watched till Episode 29
  • This was watched on Netflix
  • Till Episode 32 now both Sancar Bey and Bahadir Bey are dead.
  • Bahadir Bey is beheaded and like we have seen in the series beheading is reserved as a punishment for the worst of the villians the traitors.
  • Starting with Kurdoglu, Kocabas, Ural Bey, etc, beheading is reserved for the worst of the enemies, the traitors.
  • Now that Bahadir Bey is dead, the story might take a new turn. 
  • Will proceed soon and update

The Predator (2018)

  • I had seen the movie earlier but still I rewatched it.
  • This was watched on Disney+ Hotstar.
  • Glad I did because came to know that it is quite a well made movie.
  • We cannot see humans lose to Predators in the movies of the Predator.
  • This is Hollywwod and American movie, humans will always triumph.
  • And that is what the movie shows.
  • If there is a sequel, they will show a story where humans wage war with invading Preadators and (eventually) win.
  • We cannot see otherwise (in a movie). That is known.
  • And in that sense this is a very well made movie. 
  • As it lives by that principle that humans will eventually triumph

Pushpa The Rise Part 1

  • This movie was watched on Amazon Prime Video.
  • I liked the movie.
  • Very well made movie.
  • Allu Arjun is fantastic.
  • Allu Arjun is like an institution.
  • The movie is too much similar to KGF movie.
  • There also the hero is good but does illegal work like smuggling.
  • Hero has a mother and a painful history.
  • And hero has brush with law.
  • And both sequels are pending.
  • But law will eventually triumph we can say that.
  • Both in Pushpa and KGF sequels we may see that hero will have to compromise and join will lw else they will face painful end in the hands of law.

Atrangi Re, MIB International, Don't Breathe 2

Watched three movies as mentioned above.

Atrangi Re

  • This movie was watched on Disney + Hotstar.
  • I liked the movie.
  • Movie is like a tragedy story. 
  • There is tragedy all around.
  • Akshay Kumar is actually the father of Sara Ali Khan who has been killed by Sara's mother family.
  • It is a case of "honour killing".
  • Their intention must not have been to kill Sara's mother.
  • But she also dies.
  • Sara doesn't know what hit her. Like shown in the movie she is in the audience where the tragedy happens and then she manufactures the fact that her father is still alive.
  • Sara's mother family probably feel the guilt and so they raise her and take care of her.
  • But their intention is to marry her off  as soon as possible. Probably to an outsider and that happens to be Dhanush.
  • And that is good for Sara as he really comes to like her.
  • And more plus point is that he is from the medical field with a lot of friends who can help him in the process.
  • Dhanush is the man who can replace imaginary Akshay Kumar the father of Sara Ali Khan.
  • Movie is worth watching

MIB International

  • This movie was watched on Netflix.
  • The final conclusion is that world gets saved by MIB folks.
  • In between there is lot of action, chases and comedy.
  • Also special effects which feel like real.
  • Definitely worth watching.

Don't Breathe 2

  • This movie was watched on Netflix.
  • Too many people get killed in the movie both by the blind veteran and villians.
  • This movie has no relation to Part 1 of the series Don't Breathe.
  • One can watch this as a stand alone movie.
  • Whether there will be Part 3 or not is now the main unresolved mystery of the movie.

Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui, Ertugrul Episode 29

 Watched the above movies and series as mentioned.

Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui

  • This movie was watched on Netflix.
  • I liked the movie.
  • I remember when Cable TV had come new in India and they were showing uncensored movies, the movie premiered starring Michael Caine Dressed to Kill
  • That movie was something. It was something which Indian audiences could not ever digest. Even now it  would be too much for the Indian psyche.
  • This movie Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui comparatively has a "soft landing" on Indian psyche and I am sure family can watch it together unlike Dressed to Kill.

Ertugrul Season 4 Episode 29

  • Last I had watched till Episode 24
  • From Episode 24 till 29 a lot has happened.
  • I must mention here. In Episode 23 or 24, Ertugrul changes his hairstyle.
  • Earlier he used to have long hair and make plaits and braids
  • Earlier Ertugrul used to make his jair like Mongols and Chinese.
  • Now from Season 4 Episode 24 he cuts his hair and appears little blonde not fully blonde.
  • Maybe after interacting with Europeans this has happened.
  • Turkey is the cross roads of culture.
  • From Chinese to Arabs to Persians to Central Asian to Europeans Turks are in the crossroads of civilisation.
  • Even if we look at the series the characters are similar to Chinese or even Japanese Samurai culture.
  • Love of swords and the way tents are used and shown as place of dwelling is similar to Middle Age and Ancient Chinese and Japanese and Mongols.
  • Use of horses is also tremendous in Ertugrul. Real horse riding is shown.
  • It is like horses were the legs in middle ages. That must be common across cultures including Mongols, Chinese, Indian, European and Arabs.
  • The makers must have seen a lot of Hong Kong Kung Fu movies of 70's and 80's.
  • The dressing is lot similar.
  • Also the love of swords and code of honour is shown in the series which is similar to Samurai culture.
  • By Episode 29 in Season 4, a full blown coup has happened and Bahadir Bey has taken over the Cavader Bey tribe.
  • Twice the raid on Karachisar castle has failed.
  • Turgut Bey and Aslahan Hatun poisoning, Gunduz kidnap and rescue, ambush by Sanchar Bey on Ertugrul, the raid has been interrupted by one reason or the other.
  • We have to understand that because if the Karachisar castle falls early then the seies will also end early.
  • There will not be 60 more episodes to watch.
