Drishyam 2, Bodies, Bhediya, Strange World, Smile

Watched several movies over the last several days. All movies were watched on the big screen.

Drishyam 2

• This movie is a total copy of the Drishyam 2 movie which came in Malyalam.
• I had seen the Malyalam version which I had watched on Prime video but had forgotten about it.
• This movie acted as a refresher.
  

Bodies Bodies Bodies

• This movie stands by its name.
• A weekend getaway by a select group of friends turns out nasty.
  
• And by the time the movie ends there are bodies everywhere.
  

Bhediya

• When we see the trailer we feel the movie is set in Uttarakhand or Himachal Pradesh.
• But no this movie is set in the most eastern part of India Arunachal Pradesh.
• It is okay to be watched once.
• But in the end they integrate Stree movie with this movie and it becomes interesting to see where the movie is headed.
  

Strange World

• This movie is too good.
• Not only does it show black characters but gay characters and is environment conscious as well.
• In a water world looking very much like our own earth a small patch of land exists and it is getting exhausted due to technology.
• So people give up the technology to survive with basic means.
  

Smile

• This movie is worth watching once.
•  How smile jumps from one person to another and then it is their turn to smile.
• That smile kills them.
• Scary especially the creature shown in the end.
  

Firestarter, Uff Ghanta, She Said, The Menu, Jurassic World

Watched five movies over the past few days.

Firestarter

• Watched this movie on Amazon Prime Video.
  
• I liked the movie.
• How the daughter of couple who have underwent experiments turns out to be a girl whose power can destroy the world.
  

Uff Ghanta

• This movie was watched on Tata Play Bollywood Premiere Channel.
• Somehow I did not get the movie.
• Got to watch it again on OTT with subtitles to understand it better.
  

She Said

• This movie is a path breaking movie.
• How it takes out the Hollywood biggies openly is worth watching.
• But I found the pace a bit slow.
• But the acting is terrific.
• And though they have not shown Harvey Weistein we can feel his presence all around.
• In that sense the director did a good job
  

The Menu

• This movie was seen on big screen.
• I did not understand why people would blow themselves up after signing up for an expensive meal.
• Movie would not be the same without Ralph Fiennes.
  

Jurassic World (2022)

• I must confess I did not watch the earlier Jurassic World movies which came out in 2015 and 2018.
• And hence this movie came as a shock.
• It is like the Independence Day movie sequel which I had watched in 2015.
• I mean the people or situation does not stay still.
• Like people say "Time and Tide wait for None"
• These movies also progress too fast.
• Story goes somewhere forward. 
• They dont wait for you or anyone.
• Whether you watch it or not the story progresses.
• And that is what happened with Jurassic World.
• I have watched the original Jurassic Park several times in the meantime.
• But Jurassic World goes forward to a place where humans and dinosaurs and other animals are living harmoniously with each other.
  

Lyle, Daman, Rocket Gang, Uunchai, Wakanda

Watched several movies as mentioned above.

Lyle Lyle Crocodile

• This movie was watched on big screen
• I liked the movie.
• Though the animal is crocodile the mannerism is like a pet dog.
• The director has studied pet animals and made close to a perfect movie.
  

Daman

• This is Odia movie and too good acting done by actors including Babushan.
• You actually feel you are in the situation with them.
• Realism is captured perfectly.
  

Rocket Gang

• This is good movie.
• But when you understand the movie it is sad movie as the actors have passed away.
• And it is a story which can come true only for the occasion which is the dance competition.
  

Uunchai

• This movie is less about conquering the heights and more about friendship and relationship between friends.
• Movie is worth watching once at least.
  

Black Panther : Wakanda Forever

• This is too good movie.
• African and Inca culture is captured perfectly.
• Action sequences are too good.
• The movie does great to pay homage to Chadwick Boseman and linking the First Black Panther movie to this one.
• Worth watching.
  

Banaras, Mrs Harris, Mili, Phone Bhoot, Lucifer

Watched several movies as mentioned above.

Banaras

• This movie is a different kind of movie.
• I mean it deals with time travel and alternate reality.
• But in the end everything is all right.
• Maybe it was in imagination and dreams.
  

Mrs Harris goes to Paris

• Too good movie.
• I felt main USP of the movie is that it captures the difference between London and Paris or difference between UK and France perfectly.
• Worth watching once at least.
  

Mili

• This movie is great as it captures fear of being locked up and too cold situation.
• The above situation ordinary people would not be aware of as they do not experience such situation in normal conditions.
• Jhanvi Kapoor role is also good. She becomes the center of attention in the movie.
  

Phone Bhoot

• Two young guys who are looking for job in occult and are aided by a ghost what can be crazier than that.
• I liked the movie.
• Both the youngsters and Katrina Kaif have done great roles.
  

Lucifer

• This was watched on Amazon Prime video.
  
• This is Malyalam movie starring Mohanlal.
• I liked the movie.
• Worth watching.
  

Tara vs Billal, Prey, The Invitation, Liger, Ertugrul

Watched several movies and series as mentioned below:

Tara vs Billal

• This movie was watched on big screen.
• Shot completely in London I liked the movie.
• Features several women stars of yesteryears and new hero and heroine.
• It is worth watching.
• I thought it captured "London vibe" properly.
  

Prey

• This was watched on Disney + hotstar.
• Just loved the action shown in the movie.
• Deserves all the accolades. 
• Worth watching the battle between Native Americans and Predator.
• Keeps you at the edge of the seat till the end.
  

The Invitation

• This was watched on the big screen.
• From trailer I never thought the movie would be about Dracula story.
• Movie could have been set in any part of Europe but they decided to set in London and that is why it is must watch.
• As England because of its English language is understood to be "mother country" of many countries including United States.
  

Liger

• Just like I had promised when Liger would release in OTT I would watch it.
• I watched it on Hotstar.
• Movie is quite fast paced and I still do not understand why it failed.
• Songs were good.
• Maybe my original understanding where it "blasted off like a missile" in second half, audience could not stomach it.
  

Ertugrul Season 5 Episode 3

• Last I had watched in August 22, 2022 when Season 4 was concluded.
• Now I have started watching Season 5 which was premiered in 2019 and reached Episode 3.
• It is too explosive.
• Ten or twelve year old Osman defends a family and gets injured in the process.
• Such cute Gunduz from Season 4 now grown up has fallout with father Etrugrul due to some of his mistakes he commits unknowingly.
• Ertugrul literally defends his guest from Mongol commander who invades his camp and wants to take her as a slave.
• More explosive episodes too follow soon I am sure.
  

Double Xl, Ram Setu, Thank God

Watched several Movies over the last few days.

Double Xl

• This movie was watched on the big screen.
• I liked the movie.
• I guess movie has to be seen in its entirety and not judged by bits and pieces.
• If we see the full movie it is a decent effort.
• Half of the movie is shot in London.
• Movie is worth watching at least once.
  

Ram Setu

• This movie was watched on the big screen.
• I liked the movie.
• The movie goes on to claim that Ram Setu is built 7000 to 8000 years ago and that is the date of Ramayana.
• So the tens thousands of years back theory and "Satya Juga" is disproved.
• But the main thing which is shown in the movie that Ram Setu is in "international waters".
• And Sri Lankan military is quite strong to defend itself.
• Movie is set in 2007 when civil war was still prevalent in Sri Lanka.
• Power of Sri Lankan military is shown.
• And how it is easy for Indian and other country ships to stray into Sri Lankan waters as it is a sea boundary.
• In reality, half of Ram Setu belongs to Sri Lanka.
• And that is the reason that Ram Setu cannot be developed commercially.
• Back to present day, India is building a new railway bridge to Pamban Island where Rameshwaram is located and that bridge will have "lift system" and so ships can pass through.
• And no one including Sri Lanka can dispute the fact that Pamban Island lies in India completely.
• The movie goes on to prove that if Ravana exists than Ram exists.
• Similarly like I had said in previous post that Ramanathaswamy temple exists in Rameshwaram and that is enough for Hindus to prove that Ram exists and is reality and is not mythology.
• The same was applied in Ayodhya dispute that Ramanathaswamy exists so Ram exists and Ayodhya was his birthplace and so Ram was born in Ayodhya. And so the disputed structure must go.
• This movie goes through same reverse methodology.
• The movie also shows Jaffna Metro. That is a mistake. I believe that there must be no Jaffna Metro in 2007 when there was civil war. It may be there in 2022 and that they have shown
  

Thank God

• This movie was watched on big screen.
• This movie shows how man is inclined to make sins or commit sins and only good conduct can save him in the end.
• Like the movie "Seven" which had come in 1997, similarly this movie shows the seven sins and how man in this case represented by Siddharth Malhotra commits the blunder everytime.
