Bhool Chuk Maaf, Mahavatar Narsimha, Weapons

Watched three movies as mentioned above.

Bhool Chuk Maaf

  • This movie was watched on Prime Video.
  • I liked the movie.
  • It is like a feel good movie where everything turns out well in the end. 

Mahavatar Narsimha

  • This movie was watched on the big screen.
  • It was better than what I had imagined.
  • This was so satisfying to the soul.
  • I could not help but imagine that Prahlada is Palestine and HiranyaKashyap is Israel and Lord Vishnu is God Almighty or Allah by whatever name you can call.
  •  Like we Indians say "Bhagwan Ke Ghar main deir hai Andher nahin"
  • Means in Lords home there is hope and not despair.
  • Worth watching where we can relate Ancient Indian stories in the present world. 

Weapons

  • This movie was watched on the big screen.
  • I liked the movie concept where the movie slowly reveals itself with characters.
  • Initially it is confusing but with each character the story becomes more and more clear.
  • Movie deals with witchcraft and how people become like weapons in the hands of the witch. 
  • The witch can use them as weapons as she pleases.
  •  In a sense this movie is like "Laapata Ladies" where you think movie is complex but actually is a simple story.

Jurassic World, F1, Saiyaara, Son of Sardaar

Watched few more movies as mentioned above.

Jurassic World : Rebirth

  • This movie was watched on the big screen
  • Too good movie.
  • It shows a bit like how imperialists go to equator type climate to "loot and plunder".
  • Dinosaurs just happen to be a "metaphor".

F1

  • This movie was watched on the big screen.
  • This Brad Pitt character in the movie is like a real "alpha male".
  • Difficult to beat an alpha male like Brad Pitt character.
  • Let us face it actual F1 is much more "dynamic" with involvement of hundreds if not thousands of people more.
  • But this movie does an honest effort to bring the characters of F1 to life.
  • Worth watching and there is no doubt that this movie getting highest rating in Book My Show.

Saiyaara

  • This movie was watched on the big screen.
  • What I felt that this movie does not show anything special or new.
  • Lovers getting separated and meeting again after few months or years has been shown in countless movies, movies like Jab We Met among others.
  • What this movie brings in is two new actors who became superstars literally overnight.
  • Needless to say those two actors must have gone into shock.
  • They would not have imagined it would have such a big hit.
  • Now a new life awaits them as their private lives would become public and they would be chased by "Paparazzi".

Son of Sardaar 2

  • This movie was watched on the big screen.
  • Very good performances by all actors.
  • I liked the movie.
  • Special mention I would like to make is of Deepak Dobriyal who is just unrecognizable as a Transgender.
  • I mean the movie got finished then I realized that Deepak Dobriyal was not erroneously mentioned in the credits. He is in the movie
  • Also the India Pakistan link is vital in the movie. Else the story would just "derail".

Gamechanger, Novocaine, Nilgiris

Watched the above three movies over the past few days.

Gamechanger

  • Watched this Ram Charan starring movie on Zee 5.
  • Too good movie. 
  • I saw intense acting by Ram Charan and other actors.
  • It is blend of Tamil and Telugu stars and is too good.
  • It will make you want to watch more performances by the actors like in their earlier movies.

Novocaine

  • This movie was watched on Prime Video.
  • Too good fast paced movie.
  • Movie was nice but just my personal opinion here that the tattoo artist did not deserve the beating which the hero gave.

Nilgiris : A Shared Wilderness

  • This was watched on the big screen
  • Too good movie and shown wildlife of Nilgiris which is near Ooty.
  • Perhaps one of its kind is this Nilgiris Biosphere Reserve and definitely needs to be preserved for future generations.

Kuberaa, Final Destination, 28 Years

Watched three more movies as mentioned above.

Kuberaa

  • Watched this movie on the bog screen.
  • What I found that some people have too much money and for time pass they make movies for the entertainment of us public.
  • Just like for time pass we watch movies, they for time pass make movies and they are rich.
  • Like even if someone gave us a lot of money we would not be able to make movies as we don't have the expertise and knowhow and skills.
  • So we leave the job of filmmaking to them and we enjoy the movie.
  • Another thin is Dhanush actor has a lot of fans in India and even if he portrays a beggar still people love his role.
  • Worth watching this movie like for mix of Bollywood and Telugu and Tamil cultures.

Final Destination

  • This movie was watched on the big screen.
  • Just the ways people die in the movie is terrifying to watch.
  • But definitely worth watching this movie.

28 Years Later

  • This movie was watched on the big screen.
  • This movie as experts have written shows the British people "wallowing in self pity".
  • After what they have done to the rest of the world for centuries, the British have definitely punished themselves with such a movie or at least shown themselves as such being punished.
  • Whether wiggling as worms, or mountain of skulls or living without technology for decades, means what is available across the water in European mainland is not available in the Island.
  • Subjected to sea blockade by the Europeans.
  • The British are severely punished with no signs of reprieve.
  • Worth watching this one.

Kanappa, Dragon. Sitaare

Watched three movies as mentioned above.

Kanappa

  • This Hindi dubbed Telugu move was watched on the big screen.
  • This movie shows from where the term "blind belief" might have originated.
  • This is the story of the true devotee of Lord Shiva who gouged out his eyes when he saw the eyes of his idol Lord Shiva crying tears of blood.
  • I mean amazing story and it is always there in our "sub conscious".
  • I mean we always feel we have "heard" about this story.
  • Maybe if rebirth as in Hindu religion is real then we might have heard about it in our previous life.
  • Certainly in this movie they have shown rebirth.
  • I do not want to give any more spoilers as to who he was in previous birth.
  • But this is no crazed madman, Kanappa could have been leader of the tribes but he chose the path of Bhakti towards his Lord Shiva.

How to train your Dragon

  • This movie was watched on the big screen.
  • What I found that this movie is full real with animation and even the sections of animation feel real.
  • Earlier Dragon movies were full of animation which made us realise those as animation only.
  • Worth watching.

Sitaare Zameen Par

  • This movie was watched on the big screen.
  • Amir Khan along with his gang are too good.
  • You might just fall in love with the characters.
  • Aamir Khan had made a gem of a movie even if it just a remake.
  • Worth watching this one.

  • Too good stylish movie.
  • It definitely feels "future proof".

Barbarian

  • This movie was watched online.
  • I liked the movie.
  • How neighborhoods become abandoned and then people who live there become a living walking horror story.
  • Worth watching.

Khauf

  • This web series was watched on Prime Video.
  • Actually Amazon sent me an Email asking me to rate the web series.
  • So I went ahead and watched it and I must confess that in spite of supernatural element the web series felt quite real and it is definitely worth watching.

Flight Risk 

  • This movie was watched on Prime Video.
  • Short movie and Mark Wahlberg portrays a negative role.
  • Okay to be watched once without any problems.
