Son of God, Laapata, Kung Fu Panda

Watched three more movies as mentioned above.

Son of God

  • This movie was watched on Amazon Prime Video.
  • I read that this movie was made from scenes collated from web series.
  • This movie shows the life story of Jesus Christ.
  • This movie shows that Jesus Christ could perform certain miracles like producing food for hundreds from thin air and healing the sick.
  • Once he also brought a man from the dead.
  • That is how he was considered a Messiah by many people and threat by the existing authorities mainly the Jews and the Romans.
  • Jews were the authority of religion and Romans were the administrative authority in charge of law and order.
  • Some research showed that the Temple Mount was still standing.
  • It was destroyed by the Romans much later after Christ.
  • This movie also shows that Christ also knew what will happen to him and the future.
  • He worries about the same. 
  • And prays for strength to his Father who art thou in heaven.
  • And since God Almighty is his father and that is why He is the Son of God.
  • The story is too good and gives hope to the hopeless.
  • Worth watching.

Laapata Ladies

  • This movie was watched on the big screen.
  • Initially the movie is like a puzzle or "Paheli".
  • Then as the movie progresses things become clearer and clearer and in finally towards the end the mystery is revealed and the story is not that complex.
  • Worth watching.

Kung Fu Panda 4

  • This movie was watched on the big screen.
  • It carries on the tradition of Kung Fu movies.
  • Full of action and adventure and special effects challenging movies like Matrix.
  • Worth watching for the twists and turns shown in the movie.

Road House, Dune, Madgaon

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

Road House

  • Watched this movie starring Jake Gyllenhall on Amazon Prime Video.
  • I will say Amazon is amazing for making movies like this.
  • Conor McGregor also does great role.
  • It catches the Florida scene perfectly and that is what I thought.
  • Overall a good movie.

Dune 2

  • This movie was watched on the big screen.
  • Too good action movie.
  • Worth watching.
  • Now Dune Part 1 had to lead somewhere and the answer is Dune Part 2.
  • Before the movie releases we think movie will be in a certain way.
  • This movie fits more or less the same as what we thought it would be like.

Madgaon Express

  • This movie was watched on the big screen.
  • I will say the filmmaker who is Kunal Kemu has got a great sense of humour.
  • And his sense of humour is visible in the movie and the scenes.
  • Too good comedy and full fledged laugh riot I would say.
  • Worth watching.

Dunki, Dange, Teri Baaton, Starfish

Watched four movies as mentioned above.

Dunki

  • This movie was watched on Netflix.
  • I liked the movie.
  • The conclusion from this movie is that nowhere where you go there is no place like home.
  • Ultimately people have the dream to return to their homeland at the end of their lives.

Dange

  • This movie was watched on big screen.
  • Movie is worth watching for two things the college festival and background music.
  • College festival has been captured in a few minutes clip beautifully.

Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya

  • This movie was watched on big screen.
  • It shows futuristic world where robots resemble more like humans and it is hard to tell the difference.
  • Movie is very well made with good songs.
  • Worth watching where future meets traditional Indian family.

Starfish

  • This movie was watched on Netflix.
  • It has UA certificate but it leaves little to imagination is A content.
  • Father has relationship with daughter (born out of wedlock) and even gets her pregnant (20 years after she is born) that is what I understood.
  • Though she has abortion and mom commits suicide.
  • Movie is shot in Goa and Malta and that is too good for scenery aspect.

Captain Miller, Fighter, Crackk

Watched three movies as mentioned above.

Captain Miller

  • Watched this fictional movie on Amazon Prime Video.
  • It shows a world before Indian Independence when India was under British rule.
  • It shows Communism has already arisen so more likely it would be set in 1920's or 1930's.
  • Such violent movie. Hundreds of soldiers die. Mainly British and British Indian soldiers.
  • But they are unable to win even after using heavy weapons as Indians also have the weapons.
  • It also shows the caste differences and protection of temples.
  • No one can defeat the Indians is shown in the movie. Thanks to Captain Miller.

Fighter

  • This air action movie was seen on big screen.
  • Okay movie to be watched once.
  • It is not like Pathaan but is watchable.
  • I guess even producer or director do not know why a film will face extraordinary success while some will face little bit less.

Crackk

  • This movie was watched on the big screen.
  • Movie is set among Mumbai kids.
  • They could have set in any other location like Delhi, Rajasthan or Goa but they could not have shown local trains and racing on them.
  • Arjun Rampal is shown to be very rich but it beats me why he stayed in a dilapidated castle as shown in the movie.
  • I guess they showed how much the budget allowed.
  • Shot in Poland, Azerbaijan and little bit Hong Kong from air is shown in the movie.
  • What I want to say is that it is shot in foreign locations and they have not specified a single country.
  • They have said that it is somewhere in Europe.
