Gladiator, Superboys, Mickey, Monkey, Crazxy, Mere Husband

Watched several movies as mentioned above and below

Gladiator II

  • This movie was watched on Prime Video.
  • This is excellent movie and is clearly anti-war movie.
  • Though much war is shown in the movie it shows a stage comes when people get "tired" of empire building and high taxes and senseless killings and it just stops.
  • Nobody can stop the "wrath of the people" and Govt just caves in. Even in Rome.

Superboys of Malegaon

  • This movie was watched on big screen.
  • Too good performances by the actors especially Adarsh Gourav who helms the title role or main role.
  • Worth watching this movie.

Mickey 17

  • Too good movie was watched on the big screen.
  • This is also a clear anti-war movie.
  • It shows even if you have the capability of total annihilations you should not do it.
  • You should do what is right.
  • And take the local population into light and especially should not hurt young ones.

The Monkey

  • This was also watched on big screen.
  • Too good movie.
  • The Monkey comes from nowhere and rules the screen
  • Should I say The Monkey even suppresses the hero Theo James.
  • The Monkey is too good.
  • You can fall in love with the total psycho character of "The Monkey". 

Crazxy

  • This was watched on big screen.
  • Too good role and performance by Sohum Shah.
  • This movie is like "Lapata Ladies".
  • You think what the movie is all about. And a mystery from the poster or trailer.
  • But when you watch the movie you realise the movie is not that complex and actually a simple story.
  • Worth watching.

Mere Husband Ki Biwi

  • This movie was watched on big screen.
  • And I should say this is clearly for Arjun Kapoor fans like me.
  • Yes count me in, I am Arjun Kapoor fan.
  • Too good movie and worth watching for all the funny moments and definitely a "feel good" kind of movie.

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.
