Sadak 2 :- Journey Of Cliche

Sadak 2 is the sequel of 1991's Sadak starring Sanjay Dutt and Pooja Bhatt . The movie revolves around the mentally unstable Aaraya who is dealing with issues with her step-mother. Taxi driver Ravi is grieving the death of his love of life Pooja. When destiny brings these two together, a unique journey kicks off.  Sanjay Dutt returns in his role of Ravi. His character is the same as the last movie who gets emotional when he sees a troubling person. His acting is good but the character development is poor. Alia Bhatt in the role of Aaraya is a poorly written character that doesn't get together in a movie. Her acting is average in bits and pieces. Aditya Roy Kapoor as a Vishal, boyfriend of Aaraya is the most predictable character after seeing a trailer. There is nothing that surprised me about his character. The highlight of the movie is the performance of Makrand Deshpande as Self-proclaimed Baba. He acted at his best.  Mahesh Bhatt returns to the director chair for this...

Chemical Hearts :- Combination Of Feelings

The movie showcases a side of love with the help of Grace and Henry. Henry, a young, aspiring writer good at writing but shy in talking, gets caught up when a new student comes in school named Grace. She is private about herself but makes the bond with Henry and things start to swibble. The movie is an adaptation of Krystal Sutherland's 'Our Chemical Hearts' . The movie left a special emotion in me and surprised me because I didn't read a book. Lili Reinhart as 'Grace Town' gives a great performance. Her acting as a physically struggling girl is best in some scenes. Her acting is well known to us because of ' Riverdale '. Austin Abrams as 'Henry Page' is the best part of the movie. His character has got so many layers in it and he expressed it pretty conventionally. He is well known for his work as 'Ethen Lewis' in the show ' Euphoria '. Sarah Jones as 'Sadie' sister of Henry plays a character who is emotionally injured...

How 83 batch from Nashik Police Training Center gets caught up in this situation and changes the future of the city.  Bobby Deol plays the character of Vijay Singh who is dean of the training center.

Khuda Haafiz :- Power Of Love

The movie revolves around a husband whose wife is missing in a foreign country. Now his only chance is by going to that country and finding her on his own. The movie somehow gets lost in the middle but gets back on track towards the climax. The story is a bit cliche. The ending is happy which does not amuse me. The first half of the movie runs backward. Vidyut Jammwal as 'Sameer Choudhary' has done a good job in his new avatar. His actionability is well known to all of us but he explores his other ability in this movie yet remains a poker face in some scenes. Shivaleeka Oberoi in her 2nd movie did an average performance. She plays the character of 'Nargis' in the movie. She doesn't have much time on-screen as compared to others. Annu Kapoor steals the show in the movie. When he is on the screen he eats out all other characters surrounding him. He plays a taxi driver who is helping Sameer to find his wife. The other notable performance from the movie is of Aahana ...

Gunjan Saxsena :- A Kargil Girl

The movie is a biopic of Gunjan Saxena 'First Female Indian Air Force Pilot' in combat. The movie showcases the struggle of an ambitious girl in making her dream come true. How a single girl changed the structure of the whole base but at what cost. The movie is motivating to all of us.  The backbone of the movie is Pankaj Tripathi . He plays the character of Anup Saxena, Gunjan's father. His acting is great as always. He plays every character with such ease. Janhavi Kapoor as Gunjan Saxena has done a good job. It's her 3rd movie and she gives an ordinary performance. As I expected a goosebumps moments in between her scenes but it didn't happen. Vineet Kumar Singh as Commander Dileep Singh gives a great performance. As long as he comes on the screen we start to denounce his character and that's why he succeeded in his role. Angad Bedi as a protective yet demotivating brother makes his character work in such a small screen time.  Debutant director Sharan Shar...

4 Things We Gets From Movies

Entertainment is one of the joyful things in the world. People find their entertainment in different-different things. But most people find it through movies. Movies teach us so many things. What we should do, what we should not do, how to react and what will be the consequences etc. But every movie though it's good or bad gives us something. When you watched 'Tanaji' it gave you a power of selflessness. It taught you how to be devoted to your soil. When you watched 'Housefull 4' it gave you laughter. You have to watch the movie without using your brain. You just see and react. In this movie it gave you one - sometimes reacting is better than thinking. So here I am going to show you 4 things we get from movies (not every time but most of the time). #4 :- Beyond Imagination Most of Christopher Nolan 's movies, some of David Fincher 's movies are far from imagination for our daily life brain. Everybody dreams but no one has ever gone into deep as 'Incep...

Raat Akeli Hai :- A Passionate Thriller

By Manish Surve The movie revolves around the cop who is investigating a murder in a truobled family. The victim is rich and powerful surrounded by enemies. But what motive can kill a man with everyone on the suspect list. The story keeps playing till the climax. The screenplay is well mixed with a great character building. The movie is slow paced with screen time of 2 & ½ hours .  Nawazuddin Siddiqui as 'Inspector Jatil Yadav' gives a phenomenal performance. He played the character with ease. From the movement he appears on the screen he steals the show. Radhika Apte as 'Radha' gives a great performance as always. Her character has many colours and she portrayed it greatly. The supporting cast includes some big name like Tigmanshu Dhulia, Shweta Tripathi and Aditya Shrivastava . Ila Arun creates the funny moments in the first half of the movie. The movie remarks about two reunions of the artist. First - Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Tighmanshu Dhulia reunite after t...

Lootcase :- A Bag Of Surprise

By Manish Surve The movie is a comedy-crime thriller. It revolves around a suitcase filled with money which goes from here to there. In this whole chaos a middle class man, a powerful politician, a nat-geo fan gangster and rowdy policeman gets messed up and things go out of control. The movie is well paced and sticks to where it is. Catchy one liners and crispy story makes this movie special.  The cast of the movie is filled with the talented artists. Kunal Khemu plays the character of a middle class man named 'Nandan Kumar'. He is filled with lots of problems financially but a heartful man.  It showcases how his life gets a turnaround when he gets a suitcase. His acting versatility is seen in this movie after playing a villionous role in 'Malang'. Gajraj Rao as 'MLA Patil' has done a great job. His acting and comedy are pretty good. He is some sort of antagonist in the movie. Vijay Raaz as a gangster 'Bala Rathore' impresses me. I am a big fan of his...
