LDR, Ertugrul 77, Bhool Bhulaiya 2, Spider Man

LDR : Love Death Robots

  • Watched the entire three volume series with more than two dozen episodes on Netflix.
  • Some episodes are too good and worth watching.
  • They will leave a deep impact on your mind.
  • Like Tall Grass or where a soldier takes refuge in a spaceship after crash or the giant washed up on shore.
  • The last episode where the knights meet someone in a lake. All can leave deep impact.

Ertugrul Season 4 Episode 77

  • Last I had seen till Episode 74
  • Now in three episodes a lot has changed.
  • Noyan has met the Governor of Bilecik though his identity is not yet revealed.
  • Osman is born and Halime Hatun dies after child birth which is tragedy.
  • The scene where Ertugrul makes emotional appeal for milk for Osman from the tribes to Artuk Bey is very emotional.

Bhool Bhulaiya 2

  • Watched this movie on Netflix and I must say that this movie proves Kartik Aryan is a full entertainer.
  • I will say you can watch this movie on loop and you will not get bored.
  • I can say that Kartik Aryan is one star who will be popular from Kashmir to Kerala and from Bhuj to Dibrugarh.
  • His popularity will encompass full India and he is a bankable star.
  • That being said teh movie could not have been complete without the role of Tabu.
  • I think Tabu acting is just superb.

Spider Man : No Way Home

  • This movie was watched on Netflix.
  • It was very nice to see the villians back which we had seen 20 to 15 years back in Spiderman series.
  • Glad to see them back in movie in a changed world.
  • Yes we can say the world has changed in 20 years
  • Nice to see old Spidemans like Tobey Maguire also.
  • Brings back old memories.

Ertugrul Season 4 Episode 74

  • People I have reached now till Ertugrul Season 4 Episode 74.
  • Last I had watched till Episode 67
  • Now in Episode 73 Sadettin Kopek dies.
  • In one of the episodes between 67 and 73, Ertugrul infiltrates the heavily guarded Sadettin Kopek camp and attempts to execute Kopek.
  • Then Ertugrul is not successful but manages to get away.
  • The way he gets away seemed impossible at least not from a heavily guarded camp like Kopeks who was going to battle.
  • The Kopek chases him towards the hills and forests and he is killed there.
  • And then the story goes towards Mongols once more.
  • The Emipre of Byzantine is not releaseing the soldiers towards the Turks as they fear Mongols can invade after defeating the Turks.
  • Though Mongols find the area of Iraq more lucrative it cannot be ignored that the Mongols may annihilate the Anatolia and move towards Constantinople.
  • Even Noyan is alive.
  • I guess last few episodes of Season 4 may show the decisive battle between Ertugrul let Turks and Noyan led Mongols.

Beast, Ertugrul Ep 67, KGF 2, House of Gucci

Watched few movies and series as mentioned above:

Beast

  • This movie was watched on Netflix.
  • I liked the movie.
  • Too good action by Vijay.

Ertugrul Season 4 Ep 67

  • Last I had watched till Episode 41 
  • From Episode 41 till 67 a lot of things have happened.
  • Ertugrul defeated Ares and converted him to become Ahmet. 
  • Sultan Aladdin has been killed by poisoning.
  • Titan was killed.
  • Ertugrul also became enemy of the state. 
  • Seljuk state also showed its power and have killed several tribe leader who have been accused of rebelling.
  • Now Episode 67 and 66 is the episode where Aslihan Hatun is killed.
  • The death scene of Aslihan Hatun is too well made.
  • She is killed while trying to kill Sadettin Kopek.
  • Sadettin Kopek had lost his mother early in his life and finally thought that Aslihan Hatun could replace her.
  • But Aslihan wanted his blood. Reluctantly Kopek had to kill her.
  • He could see life just going away and he could do nothing about it.
  • Now Sadettin Kopek has established himself as ultimate enemy of Ertugrul.
  • Always conspiring against Ertugrul and no the Seljuk state as well.
  • Ertugrul is looking towards Sogut now to move in.
     

KGF 2

  • This movie was watched on Amazon Prime Video.
  • This movie made from Sandalwood which is the name of the Kannada film industry shows that series and movie has to go beyond local locations to have value.
  • While KGF Part 1 shows a sleepy corner of a state and its twisted history to suit the movie.
  • KGF Part 2 shows the entire country. Including Banglaore, Bombay and West Coast.
  • It shows KGF as industrial heartland perhaps comparable to Nazi Germany 'Rhineland'.
  • But that is destroyed by bombing campaign and miraculously no people died and all the gold is loaded in huge tanker and sinks in Arabian Sea. 
  • Tell me is it even possible.
  • Now KGF part 3 is teased in the movie and CIA comes in.
  • So KGF is bound to go global.
  • In this movie KGF 2 also UAE gets involved.
  • Movie is okay to be watched once.
  • But one cannot deny the larger than life presence of the lead actor Yash.
  • Yash ultimately is a Sandalwood star and figuratively he defeats both Bollywood and Madras by killing the Sanjay Dutt character and the Tamil politician at MP house.

House of Gucci

  • This Gucci movie is too well made.
  • Watched it on Amazon Prime Video.
  • We get to know about Gucci family history.
  • Movie is good way to time pass.
  • Scene after scene passes so fast and does not feel boring.
  • Worth watching at least once.

No person can be Muhammad

People I believe the fact that no person can be Prophet Muhammad. And I am glad that I know this. Apart from difference between Shia and Sunni Link 1 and Link 2 this reality is the ultimate reality. Once one knows that no person can be Muhammad one will cease to call another as Muhammad even if it is his actual name.

I know one of my friends during MBA in year 2004 was named Muhammad Abdur Rab and a faculty had come. He was a Bengali gentleman maybe 60 plus years and all. He checked the names of all and then told that "your name is Abdur because NO PERSON CAN BE MUHAMMAD".

I am glad that I had the chance to attend that class and that faculty took just one class and he never came back to our institute ever again. But he gave that message which I will never forget in life.

Because Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) did in his life what no other person can ever achieve. Thus Muslims believe he is the last Prophet to walk the earth and bring the message of God to ordinary humans.

No one believes that Prophet was God or Son of God. He was messenger of God. He carried God's message. Unlike Christ whom people tell that he was the Son of God and some believe Christ to be God himself. But no one tells Prophet Muhammad was Son of God or God.

And Prophet dissuaded people that he should be worshiped. Or be depicted in photos and statues. Tell me how important is this. These days people want to be depicted in photos and statues and want temples to be built in their honour. But Prophet Muhammad dissuaded his followers to be depicted in frescoes, murals, paintings and statues. 

Prophet Muhammad said that only person or thing or entity worthy of worship is God or Allah himself. Even the Islamic Scholar Zakir Naik said that God or Allah is something who cannot be compared to anything which ordinary humans can comprehend or ANYTHING EXISTING ON THIS EARTH. God is something who greater than that. Even in Hindu religion and Mahabharat we have heard the term Vishwaroopam. This that "figure" of God which no ordinary human can see or imagine. In Mahabharata Sanjay Mahabharata got special vision and he could see the Vishwaroopam but could only describe the same to Dhritarashtra. Professor Naik takes that literally but that is no cause of conflict. If anyting it only shows that God is one and is worthy of worship. Not God's figures and figurines.

Several Christians also believe the same thing. WORSHIP THE CREATOR AND NOT THE CREATIONS. I saw this message on the back of the car the other day. This is what Prophet Muhammad espoused. Not only Prophet Muhammad, there are several more prophets in Muslim religion also known as Islam. Prophet Abraham and Prophet Christ is also among the 25 Prophets of Islam 

Also my admiration for Islam has increased after watching Ertugrul series. There they have shown Ibn-Arabi who is Link 1 like a scholar of Islam. And his scenes are full of past stories of Islam where reference is made often to life of Prophet Muhammad whose stories are full of inspiration.

Milan Talkies, Kaagaz, I am Zero, Albert, Haseen Dilruba

Watched five more movies on the small screen.

Milan Talkies

  • This movie was watched on Tata Play Bollywood premiere Channel.
  • Starring Ali Fazal, I think this movie paved the way for his role in Mirzapur series as Guddu Pandit.
  • Movie is okay for a one time watch

Kaagaz

  • This movie starring Pankaj Tripathi shows a mans struggle to get documents for getting loan.
  • Movie is supposedly based on true story.
  • Movie is okay for a one time watch

I am Zero

  • This is a movie based on Muslim Girls who not only face opposition from other community people due to their use of Hijab but from their own community as well who don't want them to get educated.
  • Muslim girls struggle in education is shown.
  • Part propaganda also but movie is okay to be watched once.

Albert Pinto ko Gussa Kyun Aata hai

  • This movie was watched on Tata Play Bollywood premiere Channel.
  • Starring Manav Kaul and Saurabh Shukla, though the performances are good.
  • This movie is frankly meaningless.
  • I did not get what the movie is all about.
  • I felt it is like a wild goose chase and story has plenty of flashbacks.
  • Will watch it again sometime to get its essence.

Haseen Dilruba

  • This movie deals with extra marital affair.
  • What I felt  how can the person go from hating the person to actually amputating his arm to save her is mind boggling.
  • Also no way it could have been pulled off.
  • The crime would have been caught.
  • Just changing the jacket would not have been enough.
  • Also what about DNA test and post mortem. 
  • All details about the body would have come out.
  • Movie looks too wild to be true in reality.

Gangubai, Radhe Shyam, RRR, Fantastic Beasts

Watched several movies over the last one and half months.

Gangubai Kathiawadi

  • This movie was watched on Netflix.

  • Great award winning performance by Alia Bhatt.
  • Worth watching.

Radhe Shyam

  • This movie was watched on Netflix.
  • Too good movie.

  • Like science vs palmistry.
  • 99% vs 100% and the 1% who make their own history and they actually run the world.

RRR

  • This movie was watched on big screen.
  • A movie like this is worth to be enjoyed on the big screen.
  • The scene where wild animals are unleashed on the British camp is too good.
  • It was surprise actually.
  • To understand the psyche of Indians and South East Asians one should watch this movie.
  • I liked the movie. Worth watching.

Fantastic Beasts and the Secrets of Dumbledore

  • Watched this movie on big screen.
  • Frankly this movie was a big disappointment.

  • But okay to be watched once.
  • But there are several more movies one can enjoy if you ask me.

Badhai Do, Kashmir Files, 83

Watched three movies as mentioned above.

Badhai Do

  • This movie was watched on Netflix.
  • I liked the movie.
  • Emphasis is put on long term consequences of same sex relationship and those are bound to get into problem if one partner id "unfaithful".
  • But people can lead normal lives if the allow their partners to lead lives they always did.
  • Shot in actual locations in Uttarakhand this is must watch.

The Kashmir Files

  • This movie has a lot of buzz.
  • So I watched it on Telegram after getting the link from Youtube.
  • Could not wait to watch it on OTT and did not want to waste 200 bucks.
  • I found the movie equal to vomit.
  • Only a person who likes to eat vomit will like it.
  • Movie is sick to say the least.
  • It is like a snuff movie and violent porn movie.
  • How anyone can like it baffles me.
  • But it is not one sided.
  • It covers all aspects relating to Kashmir and even covers other situations like Bhopal Gas tragedy and the like.
  • Where it fails is that it glorifies ancient past and ignores few centuries of history.

83

  • This movie was watched on Tata Play and Disney+ Hotstar.
  • This movie is highly polished version of the interpretation of Indian victory.
  • India took center stage slowly but surely.
  • India's respectability increased following World Cup 83 victory.
  • Movie could not have been complete without Boman Irani commentary during the matches, thats what I felt.
  • And too good performances of Ranvir Singh who plays Kapil Dev and the manager played by Pankaj Tripathi
