Informal Review

 Most of the movies get an appreciation for their unique screenplay, acting performances, great direction but some of the movies don’t get the appreciation they deserve. This appreciation is not in the awards or critic's ratings but in the eyes of the audience. Sometimes the audience doesn’t get the main subject of the movie and criticizes the plot of the movie. The length of the movie plays a pivotal part in the audience’s perception of the movie. Nowadays with social apps like TikTok, Instagram Reels, the patience level of the audience is getting shorter. One small slow scene can drive them too fast forward the movie. I don’t fast-forward movies as it lost the touch of a movie. Three hours movie seems dragged to the audience as ninety- or hundred-minute movies seem good to them. Sometimes the audience has to understand that slowness has to be there to maintain the flow of the movie. This led to poor ratings on the sites like IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes. For example, in Taxi Driver (...

 On 3rd June one day before the official date of release, the much-awaited season 2 of fan favorite and critics appreciated series "The Family Man” “ arrived. They surely made us wait several months for the trailer but drooped the series one day before to make it up. The season lived up to its hyped and I enjoyed it. They controlled the story with past and present very well. The show starts after one year from last season. Starting of rebels to the new world of Srikant, its great show to watch. The story looked not stretch to extend a season and a whole new journey to Chennai was compelling. Manoj Bajpayee as Srikant Tiwari gives a rocking performance and maybe better than the first season. This season we got to see the other side of Srikant in the corporate world. A great cop tries to cope up with a corporate cubicle race with much younger people. They showed a perfect version of the man who cannot be settled in a world like that. The perfect nine to five job is not what everyo...

If anyone hasn't seen full series then there might be potential spoilers for you. So Beware!  The whole season seems built-up to the 3rd season and nothing interestingly happens to the hype of this season. We all waited nearly 2 years to get the 2nd part and at least I expected a lot more than this. Main characters were not even in the frame for some of the episodes. The main focus of taking Mirzapur seemed too much dragged down to the last episode. Everything for Guddu was easy after the starting episode, he gets into Mirzapur and burns down one of the main businesses of Kaalin Bhaiyya just like blowing a card castle. It just doesn't make sense to me, might make sense to you. He was not great at dealing with people in the first season but somehow he gains it in the 2nd season, it might be because of the loss of his loved ones which made him calmer and responsible but that is insane. The main reason why they placed Golu with Guddu is because of her sharpness and political knowl...

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...

By Manish Surve The movie is a biopic of great mathematician Shakuntala Devi . The movie showcases her success of being a mathematician, astrologer and an author. It also showcases her family struggle of keeping her daughter together and with her troubling past. The effects used for maths during the movie are great. It connects us to the maths sums.  I don't have to say what character Vidya Balan is playing. You all know that. She is great as always. She is getting better and better by the time. Sanya Malhotra plays the role of Anu, daughter of Shakuntala Devi. Her acting is the highlight of the movie. Her character is the most difficult in the movie. She played it beautifully though. Her acting ability is really seen after the Dangal. Amit Sadh is having the best run of his career. This is his 3rd release and he is empressing in all his releases. Anu Menon did a splendid job in directing such a movie. She made the movie easy for all the audience by adding great humor in it. She...

By Manish Surve Director : Mayank Sharma Starring : Abhishek Bachchan, Amit Sadh, Nithya Menen The series revolves around a father whose daughter is missing for nearly nine months. Now it's his turn to do whatever to save his child. It showcases how a family gets caught up in this mess and a famous transferred Mumbai cop Kabir Sawant tries to solve it in Delhi. They have very well connected the dots of Season One at the starting of this season.There are some unnecessary moments that could have been neglected. The series is stretched to 12 episodes which could have been made in 8-9 episodes. The series is 2nd season for Breathe but it only sees return of 2 old characters. Abhishek Bachchan in the role of psychiatrist Dr. Avinash Sabharwal impresses you in some of the scenes. But in some scenes his acting falls flat on its face. This series can do wonders for him as Sacred Games did for Saif Ali Khan. Amit Sadh plays the same short tempered inspector Kabir Sawant. He is as we know ...

By Manish Surve The movie revolves around the airplane pilot Tobias Ellis whose airplane is hijacked by some terrorists. The movie is a survival drama and it showcases how he is going to secure all the passengers with himself. The story is too slow and the narrative is not so engaging. Complete movie is shot in a cockpit with high pilot protocols. If that was not enough the half of the movie is in German. They tried to make it engaging by adding some aspects like the pilot and air hostess are in relationship. Now if it comes to saving her life what he will do but lack of background story and slow pace makes it dull. There subject and motive is good but it is too slow and more confusing . The big name Joseph Gordon-Levitt plays the character of Tobias Ellis who is dedicated to his work and very professional in nature. The supporting cast is not known and mostly German. The movie was filmed in 2017 and premiered at Locarno Film Festival on August 9, 2019. It was digitally released on Ama...

The movie revolves around two warring people Mirza and Baankey who are played by Amitabh Bachchan and Ayushmann Khurrana. The movie showcases the bittersweet relation between these two and their war on a HAVELI. The movie picks up speed after the first hour. The movie keeps you on your toes till the very end.  Amitabh Bachchan as a Landlord 'Mirza' gives great performance with his catchy one liners and his unique walk. His makeup and prosthetics seem too much which differentiates the character from the reality. Amitabh Bachchan carries the movie from the very beginning. Ayushmann Khurrana as a Tenet 'Baakey' gives a good performance but not as impressive as his previous movies. Vijay Raaz and Brijendra Kala in the role of Government Officer and Lawyer respectively have done a commendable job. The standout performance of the film is of Srishti Shrivastava as a sister of Baankey. She looks fierce and confident. Her dialogue delivery is also great along with her facial exp...
