Baahubali 2: The Conclusion (2017)

Nice Beginning but Excellent Conclusion

[10/10 · 28 April 2017]

Finally the wait for two long years is over and why kattapa killed baahubali is known; but this epic movie is much more than that. In the first half of the movie will begin in a regular pattern and towards the interval as the movie will proceed, things will start to heat up. In the second half everything is there for which you pay your bucks to see a movie. Except two or three scenes of exaggerated physics defying effects, the entire movie is packed with the best visual effects and action sequences Indian movies have ever seen. The songs are not that appealing but okay. Overall the movie is worth the wait and anticipation. So don't just wait reading my or another reviews, just be the part of this epic and see how Indian movies have gone to a whole new level. I am gonna watch this movie a few times more (still in the euphoria).

Logan (2017)

Wolverine of Our Generation will be Remembered

[9/10 · 5 March 2017]

I have always been a fan of Wolverine franchise but this one is amazing. The wolverine finally has just nailed it. Hugh Jackman and wolverine are like two sides of a coin to most of us. But everything has to come to an end and the finale will be remembered. Logan is getting old and yeah he is dying, his healing is reduced, his claws have weakened but yet on last time he has to become the Wolverine; the fierce the vicious the invincible one to save the next gen mutants even though his body and mind has reached their nadir. The action scenes are fantastic and the little girl has played her role very nicely. I do not want to lengthen my review any further, just go and be a part of the old wolf's final rebel.

Commando 2 (2017)

The Desi Stunt King is Back with a Bang

[7/10 · 3 March 2017]

Waiting for an action movie for a long time? Here's your perfect treat from Vidyut Jamwal. Yet once again he has proved that currently he's the best action figure of Bollywood industry. The story is like most action thrillers you have had seen with some contemporary touch of the burning issue of black money; though with little twists and turns (broadly speaking two major twists are there). Now coming to the acting skills, not much of that is needed I suppose in an action thriller so everyone was quite okay in their respective roles. The first person view concept is again brought in this movie ( I guess the 2nd Bollywood movie to do so). Luckily there is no romantic songs in the movie which I guess no one enjoys to see in a movie like Commando. Lastly the best part of the movie is the action, especially vidyut and thakur anoop singh were super awesome with there chiseled physique. But again the show stealer is obviously Vidyut with his super agile body and breathtaking stunts. So I would conclude by saying that all the action movie lovers your desi platter is right here.

Kaabil (2017)

Go For Kaabil and It will be Worth It for Sure

[8/10 · 26 January 2017]

A great round of applause for Hrithik "Kaabil" Roshan. From the very beginning of the movie it was a very very emotional movie in fact in few of the scenes tears came to my eyes. Apart from the fabulous acting by Hrithik, the story was good the music was beautiful and Yami Gautam a true heartthrob. Though a bit fictitious plot but some of the things shown in the movie truly reveals Current scenario of our country and has a strong social message. Till the very end of the movie I liked in fact loved the movie. In the Bollywood I would say Hrithik is truly evolving his movies. I just do not want to lengthen the review any further, just watch it for yourself. According to me this is the first movie of 2017 which I loved absolutely and will surely watch it again.

Raees (2017)

Time Machine Needed to Undo the Act of Watching Raees

[6/10 · 26 January 2017]

First of all I would like to make it very clear that neither I am SRK fan nor his hater; I only appreciate good movies. I would like to make this review as short and crisp as possible. My a expectations were lot high for this movie, and I myself expected a lot from SRK ( who really has not done any groundbreaking projects almost for past 5-6 years). The movie is flat and time and again it seems to be dragging unnecessarily. The basic thing which srk should understand by now is that the DDLJ era is long gone and the audience is evolving along with their tastes. Nawaz and SRK were really good in their respective performances and that's all good I had about the movie. The story was like any other old gangster movie. Except few of the entry scenes of SRK the action of the movie is quite lousy one and the worst part of the movie is its ending. Overall Raees is again a Himalayan disappointment at least for me.

xXx: Return of Xander Cage (2017)

The Xander Show with Bonus Action

[7/10 · 20 January 2017]

First of all I would like to tell that I watched the movie in 3D ; so hereafter what I am going to tell would be based entirely upon my "xXx 3D experience". The story of the movie is a typical average action movie type story, but seeing the entire xXx fraternity together was fun. Now the action of this movie is just fantastic with a lot of special effects and superb stunts (though a bit physics defying) but really awesome. Watching a few of my fab action figures in one frame was a visual treat for me (though I felt Tony did not have much role). Vin is spectacular as usual and being an Indian I have a soft corner for Deepika and she was looking absolutely ravishing. The dialogues are really funny. Overall I would say it is a good action flick and I loved it and would suggest all the action movie lovers to give it a go. And yeah, wait for Ice cube in the end!!!

Befikre (2016)

Same Old Story With a Different Story Telling

[6/10 · 9 December 2016]

The movie talks all about careless life, love and friendship. It is a modern day love story with young and confused lovers evolving and finding there love. This is kind of same old story which you might have seen in several movies again and again, only difference is that of the story telling in this movie, it tells the story in a back and forth manner. Acting of ranveer and vaani were good and all other characters were okay. But the movie is kind of flat with almost no twists and turns and you can predict easily what happens in the end. Though it was fun watching the movie, but strictly it is one time watch. I would say if you are a ranveer fan then only you should opt for this movie otherwise you're going to be disappointed.

Kahaani 2 (2016)

The Twisted Tale

[7/10 · 4 December 2016]

After Kahaani, the expectations for the sequel was sky high; and I would say Kahaani 2 will surely not dishearten you. The plot of the movie is the story of how Durga Rani Singh (Vidya Balan) saves a helpless child from her uncle who abuses her regularly, and later from a kidnapper which is intercepted by police. The movie will keep you thrilled from the very beginning itself with lots of twists and turns and finally a typical "Kahaani" type of twist in the end.The acting of all the actors are really good and Arjun Rampal has really nailed it as a cop. Vidya Balan's role as a typical Bengali woman was also good. I do not know why the opening of this movie was bad but I think it is really a good movie, a real treat for thriller movie lovers. Go to the theaters and watch it. I can assure you, your money will not be wasted.

Force 2 (2016)

Legacy of Force Maintained

[7/10 · 19 November 2016]

Another great action flick of John.John is taking Bollywood action movies to the next level. This movie indeed has maintained the legacy of Force. The story is pretty good with some nice twists and turns. This movie has also emphasized on the fact that the best patriots of our country are mostly branded as traitors and dishonored after death till date. Apart from these things the new concept of first person action has been brought to the Indian movies for the first time in this movie (watching that was real fun). Sonakshi was good but without her I do not think much difference would have been there in the story line. John is super awesome in angry hunk look but after Vidyut Jamwal cameo role, I would say the villain's role could have been more mean in the sequel which was utterly missing. Overall I would say it is a good movie and would perfectly satisfy the appetite for all the action freaks out there. The best part of the movie is that it is not spoiled by unnecessary romantic songs. I would conclude by saying I am eagerly watching for our desi Arnold's next action movie.

Shivaay (2016)

Shivaa Personified

[7/10 · 30 October 2016]

Shivaay is the movie which has taken Bollywood actions and special effects to the next level. In this movie Ajay Devgn is simply fabulous. If you do not see this movie in the the theaters you are really missing the fun. The opening scene itself is PAISA WASOOL(worth your every penny) . The story is about a simple mountaineer saving his daughter from the Russian mafia. Apart from super awesome action there is also a lot of emotional scenes and a bit of drama. Some of the scenes are a bit physics defying, but Ajay Devgn just nailed it as a whole. Really good action flick and Ajay Devgn has the swag. So I would urge all the action movie lovers you can give this movie a try.

Ae Dil Hai Mushkil (2016)

Unnecessarily Dragging of Story Spoils The Otherwise Awesome Movie

[6/10 · 29 October 2016]

This movie is some really complicated love story. May be with my level of intellect I could not understand what was exactly been tried to be portrayed in this movie. For the first time I am being disappointed by a karan johar movie. The first half of the movie was really good, but towards the end I could not understand why the story was being unnecessarily dragged.The fun of the movie was spoiled due to such dragging and forcefully increasing the storytelling. Acting wise everyone has done a great job and Aishwarya Rai is STILL the BEST, it was a real visual treat seeing her in a glamorous role after a long time. The music of this movie is just as beautiful as Aishwarya Rai. Overall I would say the movie is good,Ash is best and ending is bad. If you really love complicated love stories with a lot of drama in it, then only it is your dish.

Zulfiqar (2016)

A Classic Adaption of Classics

[8/10 · 8 October 2016]

First of all I want to salute Srijit Mukherji for being the only person in tollywood who is making movie having different layers which would please the audience of different ages. After Baishe Srabon, I liked this movie a lot. It has everything in it starting from action, good story line, sentiment tinkling dialogues to super fabulous screenplay. Besides the acting of each and every actors are in the next level. This movie, I would say, is a perfect merge of art and commercial film. In a word I would urge everyone out there,who hungry for a mature and good movie GO OUT FOR ZULFIQAR !! I think you would be liking in fact loving every bit of it.

Madaari (2016)

Another Maestro of Irrfan Khan

[8/10 · 22 July 2016]

Another meaningful movie of this year. Yet another time Irfan khan has proved his acting prowess. This is a story of a common man who stands against the corrupt system to search answers; answers which are harsh and even if we know them nothing will change. But knowing them are very much necessary for us. The story telling of the movie is good and I would say that would go to the brand of Nishikant Kamat. But what I personally liked the most about this movie is that it has pointed out the fact that what might happen in real-life and what we pay to see in reel-life if any commoner takes such a bold step. This movie emphasizes the fact that GOVERNMENT IS NOT CORRUPT, BUT THE GOVERNMENT IS FORMED TO DO CORRUPTION. People may change,leaders may change political colors may change but corruption survives and we the common people let it survive by paying with our lives in the end.

Praktan (2016)

Story Which Tells the Importance of Compromise in a Relationship

[8/10 · 1 July 2016]

Praktan is one of the best works the tollywood industry had ever seen. The characters played by each of the actors are notably fabulous and most of them had shown real maturity of acting and made the characters beautifully realistic. The story telling was really very good and the direction also deserves a great round of applause. The movie deals with the ups and downs faced in a relationship and also has a great message for all the budding lovers out there that what sort things must be avoided to build a healthy relationship. Apart from all the drama and romance and good music, this movie has a real treat of funny moments. Therefore I would really urge all the movie lovers out there who still have not watched this movie to check it out. This movie would become a classic a few years down the line.

Udta Punjab (2016)

A Funny Ride with a Social Message

[8/10 · 17 June 2016]

First of all I would like to say I want to salute the Udta Punjab team for making such good movie with social message. The movie really portrays the fact on how the drug abuse are being elevated these days and what are the root causes which we should take into our consideration to end this. Apart from the social message, watching the movie was fun. Each of the actors have done a real great job and total justice to their role. The story is also good. In spite of the fact that the movie is being leaked, I would really urge all of you guys to go to the theaters and watch this movie; so that more of these kind of movies are being made in Bollywood.

Azhar (2016)

A great comeback of Emraan Azhar Hashmi

[8/10 · 14 May 2016]

First of all I would like to appreciate the fact that these kind of movies are being made in Bollywood. The taste of the viewers are changing with the era and actors should choose movies accordingly. The story telling and the screenplay of this movie really reaches my expectations. Emraan absolutely has done a great job in pulling out the character; some of the scenes really gave me goosebumps may be due to the dialogues. Since it is a biographical movie so if you are looking for some unnatural or supernatural stuffs to occur in the story line you would be disappointed. Overall the movie is pretty good, only the acting skills of Nargis needs a little brush up.And yeah, is IS an Emraan show, really liked the movie.
