Mrs, Vadh, Chaava, Captain America, Bridget Jones, Deva

Watched sevaral movies as mentioned above.

Mrs

  • This movie was watched on Zee5 OTT platform.
  • Too good movie.
  • It shows traditional Indian family and responsibilities of "Bahu" means "daughter in law"

Vadh

  • This movie was watched on Netflix.
  • Too good movie.
  • Movie feels "very real" except last 30 minutes where it takes a "theatrical turn" and makes us realise that only in movie can imagination run wild and anything is possible.

Chaava

  • This was watched on big screen.
  • Movie is a very good attempt to portray the Chaava i.e. Chatrapati Shivaji son story.
  • Vicky Kaushal has given his "heart and soul" for the role and perhaps so has the director of the movie.
  • Worth watching.

Captain America : Brave New World

  • This was watched on the big screen.
  • This is too good movie as to how people can get manipulated and controlled in the age of AI and latest software in smartphones.
  • Main thing is Harrison Ford as President of United States.
  • In 1996-97 I have seen Air Force One on big screen several times.
  • Now 29 years later it was fun watching Harrison Ford as President once more.
  • History repeats and how.
Bridget Jones : Mad About the Boy
  • Watched this movie on the big screen.
  • I will say this movie embraces "multicultural Britain" which is an actual project in real life and has been in the works for decades.
  • For many "multicultural Britain" is the way to go for the future.
  • That is for the good for Britain and the world.
  • Now Bridget Jones also embraces the same even if doesn't go with the theme.
Deva
  • This movie was watched on big screen.
  • It is a remake movie of Malayalam named "Mumbai Police"
  • And stays true to theme.
  • Movie is a serious movie and there is no comedy.
  • And surprising twist makes all viewers shocked.
  • Okay for a one time watch.

Sanam Teri Kasam, Companion, Badass Ravikumar, Ramayana

Watched four movies as mentioned above

Sanam Teri Kasam

  • After this movie got re-released and became a hit, I searched for it online and found it on JioCinema.
  • Went ahead and watched it.
  • Realised many good songs are part of this movie and this movie is definitely worth watching.

Companion

  • This English language movie was watched on the big screen.
  • Too good movie.
  • Before watching never realised what this movie would be all about.
  • Was thinking it would be set in 1950's from the poster but this is futuristic sci-fi thriller and only what is missing is flying cars.
  • Worth watching.

Badass Ravikumar

  • Badass Ravikumar is an Indian agent and in case of crisis he is summoned.
  • Watched this on big screen.
  • Main thing is that they have made it as comedy and they claim it also (in initial credits) that please do not apply your mind too much.
  • Creative liberties have been applied and people break into song and dance at the drop of a hat.
  • Action and special effects are also too good.
  • Much of movie is shot in Oman.

Ramayana

  • This 1990's animated movie was watched in Hindi language in the big screen.
  • Though being of 1990's this movie feels quite new and colourful.
  • Ramayana story can be seen in little more than 2 hours.
  • We cannot compare it to Japanese Anime where there are lot of episodes.
  • In one movie the story is covered.

Baida, Khel Khel, Loveyapa, Skyforce

Watched four movies as mentioned above.

Baida

  • This Odia movie was watched on big screen.
  • Totally enjoyed the movie.
  • This movie shows an undead "Doctor" who leaves in caves in jungle and present day Doctor uses his services.
  • But the "ancient Doctor" takes away a life in return.
  • It is nice horror cinema.

Khel Khel Mein

  • This movie was watched on Netflix.
  • Too good movie. With lots of drama.
  • Without the "gay angle" the movie loses it core point and comedy point.

Loveyapa

  • This movie was watched on big screen.
  • Too good drama movie.
  • Junaid Khan acting is too good.
  • Khushi Kapoor also is very bold actress and does commendable role.
  • She has to catch up a lot to reach Jhanvi Kapoor her sister who has got a many roles ahead of her.
  • Star kids have talent like no other.

Skyforce

  • This movie was watched on big screen.
  • This movie shows how "wars" truly are.
  • Military fights military and sometimes before general people realise the war ends.
  • Then there is general enquiry as to what went right and wrong and there is analysis around the world.

Mufasa, Fateh, Emergency, Marco

Watched four more movies over the past few days

Mufasa

  • This realistic adventure movie was watched on big screen.
  • It is like the previous Lion King movie where it surpasses animation.
  • Animation taken to new level.

Fateh

  • This Sonu Sood starring and directed movie was watched on big screen.
  • Too good movie.
  • Sonu Sood is excellent actor and director.
  • I felt the movie was worth it.
  • He also does social service in the movie by indirectly bringing cyber criminals in focus.

Emergency

  • This Kangna Ranaut starring and directed movie was watched on the big screen.
  • Indira Gandhi was too good and Kangna does a good job of portraying her.
  • Indira in India and India is Indira like they used to say.
  • Needless to say much research must have gone into making of the movie.
  • And it was not getting released because BJP must be thinking that people might get sympathy for Congress after watching the movie.

Marco

  • This Malayalam movie was watched on big screen.
  • Too good movie.
  • Malayalam movie once again proves they are class apart and they will portray all religious groups as equals.
  • I mean all are equal in winning and suffering.
  • Unlike other movies where Muslims and Christians are mainly shown as villians. 
  • Or are ignored completely.
  • Or are shown as poor and given side roles.
  • Definitely worth watching and more Malayalam movies should be watched.

Call Me Bae, Day One, Pushpa 2, Kraven

Watched four movies as mentioned above.

Call Me Bae

  • This is web series and watched on Prime Video.
  • I liked the web series.
  • Worth watching.

Day One : Quiet Place

  • Watched this horror movie on Prime Video.
  • Worth watching.
  • Creatures are also shown in great detail.

Pushpa 2

  • This Allu Arjun starrer movie was watched on big screen.
  • Allu Arjun proves once more that he is a class of his own.
  • Too good action.
  • Allu Arjun presence is enough for a good movie.
  • Worth watching.
  • This movie also shows how family is important.
  • Needless to say emphasis on family is very important in Hindustani movies especially Telugu movies more than any other language.

Kraven The Hunter

  • This movie spans continents and is worth watching.
  • I watched this on the big screen.
  • A superhero movie with Dracula kind of vibes.
  • I mean with the location and stuff.
  • Worth watching.

Watched six movies as mentioned above.

  • Worth watching.

Civil War

  • It shows two states of Texas and California come together and reach Washington D.C and change of power happens.
  • It is unbelievable how full forces like army and air force will come under the control of Rebel forces.

Raayan

  • This Dhanush movie was watched on Prime video.
  • This is Tamil movie and I can say that Tamil movies are a class apart.
  • It is not like Telugu or North Indian movies.
  • Definitely different and worth watching.

Kalki 2898 AD

  • This Prabhas starring movie was watched on Prime video.
  • I liked the movie.
  • After taking inspiration from hell lot of Hollywood movies like Blade Runner, Total Recall, Mad Max, Hunger Games etc., this movie has elements of Indian culture like Ten Avatars of Vishnu Bhagwan and Mahabharat.
  • It mixes and both and this comes up.
  • It shows how juice is extracted from pregnant ladies like farming is being done in future. This is what Hollywood is being accused of that is the secret of everlasting beauty and so on as part of conspiracy theories.
  • Vishnus tenth incarnation would be coming to save the world. That is the concept.
