Predator, Masti 4, Haq, De De Pyaar, Wicked

Watched several movies over the past few days. As mentioned below.

Predator Badlands

• Watched this movie on the big screen.
• In this movie they have shown the Predator's planet.
• It is set in future no doubt about that.
• And human race is not shown. 
• What they have shown is that human race is led by AI and robots.
• It is not clear if humans are in charge of human made Ai and robots.

Mastiii 4

• This full comedy movie was watched on big screen.
• I will say life is full of sorrows and disappointments.
• And if you can find moments of happiness you should enjoy it.
• That is what is shown in the movie.
• Movie is shot in England (mostly).

Haq

• This Emraan Hashmi starrer was watched on the big screen.
• Too good drama movie.
• Though in actual case protagonists may be old, here they have taken young actors.
• Fully enjoyable movie.

De De Pyaar De 2

• This movie was watched on big screen.
• Very nice comedy movie.
• Good performances by all actors.
• The twist in plot is where the heroine organizes everything and turns her Dad's plan topsy turvy.
• That is the main highlight of the movie and is shown in last 30 minutes.

Wicked For Good

• This movie was watched on the big screen.
• I must confess I did not watch Wicked Part 1.
• But now I want to watch it and also dive into the Wizard of Oz movies and story.
• Such is the impact of this movie.
• Worth watching.

120 Bahadur, Taj Story, Baramulla

Watched few movies over the past few days as mentioned above.

120 Bahadur

• Watched this movie on the big screen.
• This is a story of bravery and how 120 people sacrificed themselves for the border.
• Their bravery deterred the invading forces of Chinese from advancing further.
• Worth watching.

The Taj Story

• This was watched on the big screen.
• This movie tries to destroy the narrative which we learnt from school that the Taj Mahal is a symbol of love. It is not that but that of genocide.
• Their (makers) motive is that lies when repeated a hundred times becomes the truth.
• Worth watching once to get alternate view of history.
• Makers have added disclaimer in the beginning that this is all made up.

Baramulla

• This "supernatural movie" was watched on Netflix.
• Too good movie.
• Movie is made on Kashmiri by Kashmiri for the world.
• Worth watching once without any problem.

Sunny Sanskari, Kantara

Watched few movies over the past few days.

Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari

• Watched this movie on the big screen.
• Too good movie.
• But there were two scenes which did not go down with me.
• One was swimming pool pissing scene.
• And next was chest competition scene between the heroines.
• Apart from that movie was good.
• They have taken a seven star resort on hire and shot the movie over there.
• Definitely can be watched once without any problem.

Kantara Chapter 1

• This movie was watched on the big screen.
• It continues old Kantara story and shows "prequel".
• While first part invoked Lord Vishnu and mainly the "Varaha Avatar".
• This latest part invoked both Lord Shiva and Lord Durga.
• It is mish mash of various Gods and Goddesses and the story takes shape.
• Thing is movies like this cant be described.
• It has to be watched while being "arrested" in a seat.
• And then only you will get the movie.

Charidham, Heer Express

Watched the above movies over the past few days.

Charidham : A Journey Within

• Watched this Odia movie on the big screen.
• Nice performance by Anubhav Mohanty.
• Definitely worth watching.
• You watch this movie and realize that  this is a unique movie because it is Odia movie which is neither Hindi nor South based and it different.

Heer Express

• This movie was watched on the big screen.
• The name of the movie shows that who is the main character.
• Heer i.e. is the name of the heroine and she is the main character.
• Rest of the actors are like side roles.
• Heer Express means Heer is the main engine and bogie plus the destination.
• Movie is set and shot in Indian Punjab and UK, mainly London.
• Can be watched once without any problem.

Homebound, Vaastav, Tron Ares

Watched few movies as mentioned above over the past few days.

Homebound

• Watched this movie on the big screen.
• After a brief background on their stories, the second half of the movie deals with the "homebound story" of the main actors from Surat to UP during the pandemic, i.e. Covid 19.
• Unfortunately one of them does not make it back and that is the story.
• Definitely worth watching once.

Vaastav (Odia movie)

• This Odia movie was watched on the big screen.
• What I saw that many people had come to the see the movie when they were actually involved in the movie, including the actors, the producers and other people.
• The producers had probably booked in bulk in the theatre.
• But it was too bad there was no public patronage available.
• Means there were very few members of the public.
• Needless to say the film was withdrawn from the screen in just three days with very few shows.
• It takes so much time and effort to make a movie but it gets wiped out so easily.
• But for me the movie was as good as a blockbuster.
• But I was sad it did not run.

Tron Ares

• This movie was watched on the big screen.
• It had one of my favorite personalities, the 30 second To Mars front man Jared Leto.
• And hence the movie was worthwhile.
• In addition to incredible special effects.
• Definitely worth watching.

Coolie, Ek Deewane, Taj Story, Thamma

Watched several movies over the past few days.

Coolie

• This Rajnikanth starrer movie was watched on Prime Video
• I liked the movie.
• The movie focusses on Vizag or Visakhapatnam as the city and it is the center of the story.
• There are several movies based on Chennai or Hyderabad or even Mumbai.
• Visakhapatnam is new and it is a project to make it as focus and it will take time.
• Gamechanger was based on Vizag and now this movie.
• Definitely this movie worth watching.
• How they make the dead bodies vaporize in 10 minutes smacks of similarity to "rapture".

Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniayat

• This movie was watched on big screen.
• This movie has definitely a "magnetic pull" after success of re release of "Sanam Teri Kasam".
• Intense looks by Harshavardhan Rane and Sonam Bajwa in trailer pulls you to theatre.
• Songs are also good.
• Story is good. 
• From trailer you feel Sonam Bajwa is big politician and Harshwardhan Rane is bodyguard or someone similar. But in story it is actually opposite.
• Definitely worth watching.

The Taj Story

• This movie was watched on big screen.
• This movie tries to bellittle Mughal history and say that Mughals contributed nothing to India and Indian history.
• I will say that this movie is worth watching.
• To get alternate view of history.
• Movies are make believe.
• If movie like Bahubali is worth watching so will be movie like Taj Story.

Thamma

• This movie was watched on big screen.
• This movie intertwines vampire story with Indian legendary story of Maha Kali.
• Also shows that certain regions are only accessible through "portals"
• Else simple ariel photography would show the vampire locations.
• Definitely can be watched once without any problem.

Love in Vietnam, Baaghi 4

Have watched watched the below movies over the past few days.

Love in Vietnam

• This Shantanu Maheshwari Avneet Kaur movie was watched on the big screen.
• I liked the movie and I had seen that the Vietnamese actress is also one top actor in Vietnam.
• What they have made is remarkable.
• It could be "inspired" from real stories.
• With lakhs of Indians moving out the country annually, it is quite possible that several Indians could be involved in romantic affairs abroad and may be getting their foreign friends pregnant.
• Even if it happens one in hundred thousand it still happens and it matters.
• Too bad the movie was not a hit.
• I personally felt it was well made.
• You have to watch the full movie to draw conclusion.
• If you walk though halfway you never get to know.

Baaghi 4

• This Tiger Shroff movie was watched on big screen.
• I liked the movie.
• Tiger Shroff is quite dependable character.
• He captures the West Coast of India vibes quite well. Not just Mumbai but the entire West Coast of India.
• Action sequences are very well portrayed and captured.
• Costumes are great.
• Miss India heroine who makes debut also does well.
• And so does Sanjay Dutt.
• Definitely worth watching.
