Bajirao Mastani – Dude it is just a movie don’t over glorify anything in it

Bajirao Mastani does not need much of a review. No doubt it is a mega project and Ranveer Singh did a good job as Bajirao, I loved the two songs and the picturization. The war scenes also looked realistic but the character was more super hero than a historical human. And starting off well the movie just went off track somewhere and lost me. But the world … Continue reading Bajirao Mastani – Dude it is just a movie don’t over glorify anything in it

Baahubali; Don’t lose the feast waiting for the DVD; Go to the Theatre Near You

Initially when I saw the actor Prabhas my first impression was he did not fit the role; I don’t know why, the movie had just started and there was no real reason for me to think that way. May be because I knew this movie had so much investment in it and I thought a more popular actor would have been better. Then the fact hit me, As … Continue reading Baahubali; Don’t lose the feast waiting for the DVD; Go to the Theatre Near You

Minion Movie review – Either I am getting old or the movie was not funny; I like to believe the latter

I love the concept of minions, they are funny, innocent (even when they are evil) lovable little things. So when a movie comes which focuses on minions you are interested. And when the trailer has been running for so long you also turn an interest to impatient anticipation. And then you have a 8 year old who have started counting down the days since last two … Continue reading Minion Movie review – Either I am getting old or the movie was not funny; I like to believe the latter

Bombay Velvet succeeds in being quite boring

The problem with Bombay Velvet is simple…. it makes a 2 hour movie look like a 5 hour and still not ending. A Period crime drama that also thanks Martin scorsese so it could use some of the scarface sequence which it made look so silly. Honestly I have no idea what happened in that 2 hours. The director probably tried something interesting, I will … Continue reading Bombay Velvet succeeds in being quite boring

Piku takes you to that innocent yesteryears

I don’t think the world is anymore this innocent and smooth flowing. And that might be the reason why movies like Piku should be made. When I used to watch Amol Palekhar and sanjeev Kumar starrers back then, when hrishikesh mukherjee used to weave stories around the common me and you; I never thought how unreal. Today when I watched Piku, I don’t know why I … Continue reading Piku takes you to that innocent yesteryears
