Vikram Vedha, Modiji, Tiranga

Watched three more movies as below:

Vikram Vedha

  • This movie was watched on big screen.
  • After watching this movie I came to conclusion that without Brahmins in this world, world or India would not survive.
  • People especially the warrior class would fight till the death and end.
  • Even the warrior class have to survive. And hence they resort to corruption.
  • Corruption makes the world goes around but it leads to tension and friction and clashes.
  • Brahmins make this world livable by diverting the rage into godly affairs.
  • Even if not the world at least it is applicable to India.

Modiji Ki Beti

  • This movie was watched on big screen.
  • The purpose of this movie is propaganda.
  • Especially when Gujarat and Himachal elections are due.
  • The movie shows that all Indian daughters or women are Modiji or PM Modi's daughters.
  • Like we used to say earlier all Indians are my brothers and sisters, the mantra they use in this movie is all Indian women are Modiji's daughter.
  • BJP and RSS knows that Indian women are 50% of voting public and women can be easily manipulated and swayed by emotions.
  • And hence this movie.
  • But okay this movie can be watched once.
  • This is shot in hilly areas maybe Himachal or Uttarakhand and those have been passed off as Kashmir and PoK.

Code Name Tiranga

  • This movie was watched on big screen.
  • The action sequences are very well choreographed.
  • Especially the last single shooter screen where an entire barracks is taken out by our female assasin and heroine.
  • The hero is like a boy toy. No role for the hero in this movie.
  • Movie is okay to be watched once.

Chakki, Paradise, Red

Watched three more movies as mentioned above.

Chakki

  • This movie was watched on big screen where I was the only person in the theatre.
  • I liked the movie.
  • Hero Rahul Bhatt is too good.
  • How he faces the struggle is shown for electric bill being overcharged.

Ticket to Paradise

  • This movie was watched on big screen and only two persons including me were in theatre.

  • Great island beauty is shown.
  • And what would the island Bali do without American tourists. That is shown.
  • Worth watching at least once.

One Piece Film : Red

  • This Japanese movie with English subtitles was watched on big screen
  • Amazing animation/ anime movie.
  • Worth watching according to me.
  • This is also like Matrix movie where something happens in real world which is quite contradictory to what happens in a world where people are transported after listening to song of the character "UTA"

Darling, Ponniyin, Goodbye, Hindutva

Watched several movies over past few days. Also mentioned below:

Don't Worry Darling

  • This movie was watched on big screen.
  • I liked the movie.
  • The movie starts as mystery. The people are based in an artificial city which suspected to beeither nuclear testing site or something like Raccoon City from Resident Evil.
  • But turns out it is neither.
  • It is like Matrix. Where people pay to be in an artificial environment where they can be happy.
  • Hell it can be like Metaverse.

Ponniyin Selvan 1

  • This movie was watched on big screen.
  • I liked the movie.
  • Shows 1000 year old past of area of Tamil Nadu where wars and struggle for consolidation was common.
  • Sequel is also coming.

Goodbye

  • This movie was watched on big screen.
  • Shows the last rites in a Hindu family based in North India preferably Delhi.
  • Worth watching once.

Hindutva

  • This movie is not that bad as it may seem or sound.
  • I liked the movie.
  • The movie is like Archies as it shows struggles between two groups in a college.
  • But the twist is Hindu and Muslim politics is shown.

Everything, Crawdads, Nile, Chup, Dhoka

Watched five movies as mentioned above.

Everything everywhere all at once

  • This movie was watched on big screen.
  • This movie is like Matrix (original) but full of comedy.
  • Worth watching once.

Where the Crawdads Sing

  • This movie tests your beliefs.
  • Is it possible for a young girl to survive on her own out in the backwaters on her own with people of the town having full knowledge for 15 years.
  • Also what is shown in the movie the accident is it possible to be done and kept hidden even in year 1969.
  • But okay to be watched once.

Death on the River Nile

  • This was watched on Disney+Hotstar
  • This movie featuring Herculs Poirot is also okay to be watched once.
  • Visuals of Egypt's River Nile in 1930's is shown
  • Initial scene of First World War is also must watch

Chup

  • This was watched on big screen.
  • I can compare this movie to Darr Movie which had come in 1990's.
  • Sunny Deal was hero and Shah Rukh Khan was anti-hero.
  • In this movie, Dulqeer Salman can be like Shah Rukh Khan.
  • Dulqeer Salman is also as much popular among youngsters.
  • He has unique style and does not try to copy anyone.

Dhoka : Around the corner

  • This movie was watched on big screen.
  • This movie shows even with low budget you can make an excellent movie.
  • From this movie I learned or realised two things
    • One is that actor has always to be busy and that adds to his body of work and he or she can just grow bigger and bigger. Instead of doing one big movie in 2-3 years, actor is better off doing several projects in a year. That will add to his or her popularity.
    • Next is that actors may make big budget movie which may not be that successful and so they can make low budget movie following not so success run and then recover more than what they have spent in this new movie. And that will balance them.
  • This movie also acts as a platform to launch Khushali Kumar who resembles as sister of Divya Khosla Kumar . But they are sister-in laws, not sisters, Google Search shows.

Middle Class Love, Siya, Matto Ki Saikal, Jahan Chaar Yaar

Watched four movies as  mentioned above. All movies were watched on the big screen

Middle Class Love

  • This movie is like Archies or Student of the Year.
  • One need not wait for "official Archies"
  • One can watch this movie.
  • This is shot near Nainital and great landscapes are captured.
  • Worth watching on big screen

Siya

  • This is based on what happens in real life.
  • Things like rape and cremation and killing of witnesses.
  • Bit serious movie.

Matto Ki Saikal

  • This movie should be watched for tremendous acting by Prakash Jha.
  • He has worked as labourer and portrays the character flawlessly.
  • It has comedy plus serious bits.
  • Worth watching once.

Jahan Chaar Yaar

  • This movie needs to be watched to see how parties can turn ones life upside down.
  • This case is of party happening in Goa.
  • Goa is the ultimate an Indian can think of partying without going abroad and that is a fact.
  • This movie shows that.
  • Worth watching once.

All the above movies I could watch because it was on big screen. In cinema theater we can pass the time and watch the movie quite easily. If it was mobile or TV or computer I could not have found the time or inclination to watch the movies.

Brahmastra, Resident Evil, Sita Ramam, Kartikeya, E.T., Beast

Watched several movies and series as mentioned above

Brahmastra

  • This movie was watched on big screen and on 3D.
  • I will say Special effects and visual effects are the real star of the movie.
  • It doesnt look like 410 crores have been spent on the movie.
  • Maybe they could have been paid for the inflated salaries of the stars and the special effects.
  • But the "Astra universe" has been brought to life by this movie no doubt about that.

Resident Evil

  • This web series of eight parts was watched on Netflix.
  • It is okay for  one time watch.
  • Guess cloning angle is brought into the picture.
  • Sequel is definitely coming.

Sita Ramam

  • This was watched on big screen.
  • Too good movie.
  • No one could have guessed what will happen next.
  • In that sense the director has done perfect work as audience will not get aware of what will happen next till the very end.

Kartikeya

  • This Part 1 2014 movie was watched on amazon Prime Video.
  • Movie is too good .
  • No doubt the sequel went on to become such a big hit.
  • The hero has not changed in eight years. Look is same.
  • Guess that is the case with celebrities. They try to maintain their looks.

E.T.

  • This movie was watched as part of 40 year anniversary in IMAX big screen.
  • Too good movie.
  • Like I had said the heart of any movie is that it should be made believable.
  • And this "impossible story" seems so real.
  • So real that when ET leaves we actually feel sad.
  • Such is the power of direction.

Beast

  • What a movie.
  • This movie gaves you the feeling that you are actually there in the movie among the lions and the jungle.
  • Intense action and good acting makes it worthwhile.

Top Gun Maverick, Liger, Three Thousand, Kartikeya 2, Dragon Ball

Watched several movies as mentioned above. Incidentally all the movies were watched on the big screen

Top Gun Maverick

  • This is one movie where the hero Tom Cruise plays his age and does not romance a significantly younger heroine.
  • Here the military target is most likely a North Korea. Because the landscape shown is mountainous and full of ice.
  • It cannot be a NATO Ally. Nor can it be an existing nuclear power like China or Russia.
  • They have not named the enemy country.
  • As the movie progresses we feel it is Iran but the landscape makes possible as only one country and that is North Korea.
  • But Tom Cruise proves what the world is like.
  • While United States is limited to a piece of floating metal on abroad seas (it may be an aircraft carrier), the adversary has unspoiled natural beauty of landscape of mountains, valleys, lakes, rivers and trees.

Liger

  • This movie is too good.
  • I will say Vijay Devarakonda fits the role.
  • In this world of so many talented people the fact is no one could have replaced Vijay Devarakonda.
  • He is true hero.
  • The movie fails because it just goes ballistic in the 2nd half.
  • Like I have come to believe the secret of success to a movie is that it should be "made believable"
  • Don't make it so ballistic that audience will simply dismiss it.
  • I will definitely rewatch it when it comes on OTT. Worth watching.

Three Thousand years of Longing

  • This movie is also worth watching.
  • As it deals with the subject of Djinns from a Western perspective.
  • Western society should make possible for Djinns to exist among humans.
  • That is the message.
  • It shows past from African origin of Djinn to Greek and Ottoman Empire.

Kartikeya 2

  • After a lot of positive reviews watched this movie.
  • I liked it. 
  • This movie deals with Pandemic also. How a miracle cure lies to be discovered by the hero.
  • Also found out Kartikeya Part 1 had come in 2014 and is available on Amazon Prime Video
  • Have watched it and it is just as good.
  • Now Kartikeya 3 will definitely come and will go onwards to abroad towards Atlantic Ocean.

Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero

  • This animation movie is must watch.
  • Looks too good in IMAX screen and big screen.
  • What is not possible in real life becomes possible in animation.
  • Just full of unimaginable animation.
  • Must watch.
