Great show, Season 2 was a banger. Waiting for season 3. It's even better than season 1 from all the aspects, music, style and editing.

I bet most people haven’t even watched this movie, and if you want to, go in knowing absolutely nothing about it. Brutally underrated. The title makes it sound like some typical Bollywood comedy. And yeah, it has comedy, but underneath that, it’s actually very dark and psychologically deep. The story follows Sanju (Emraan Hashmi), who robs a bank with two accomplices but ends up with amnesia after an accident, leading to a chaotic life for both him and his wife (Vidya Balan). Emraan Hashmi is the highlight of the entire film. Since the story unfolds from Sanju’s perspective, you only see what he wants you to see and believe. The movie constantly drags you through different possibilities and assumptions, convincing you till the very end that he’s right about everything, only for the truth to be something entirely different. And Emraan pulls it off immaculately. Also, Amit Trivedi’s music adds this weirdly playful and silly energy to all the chaos, which makes the film even more unique. Great movie.

The intertwining of these characters, slowly pouring out the emotions buried within them, is the beauty of individualism in cinema. A painter, a photographer, a woman recording her life through tapes, and a dhobi, together they show both the best and worst sides of Mumbai through their own experiences. The way a dhobi’s life changes after meeting a photographer, and how a painter gets emotionally affected by the video tapes of a married Muslim woman documenting her lonely life in Mumbai, is such a unique way of portraying human connection. A character being emotionally shaped by someone who only exists through recorded tapes feels strangely intimate and unique at the same time. The documentary-like filmmaking style makes it even more engaging. We observe the lifestyles of all four individuals and how each of them understands the same surroundings differently, for some, Mumbai becomes comforting; for others, challenging and isolating. The film is not trying to tell you who is right or wrong, or who deserves blame. It’s simply a journey through the expectations of four people and what Mumbai ultimately gives back to them.

The most impressive part of this horror movie is how much it relies on sound. The alien has very little screen time. The environment Shyamalan creates, and the way the screenplay builds tension around it, is what really carries the horror. The scene where everyone looks at the half-filled glasses when they realize the aliens are afraid of water is powerful. And the line Bo says stuck with me: “There’s a monster outside my room. Can I have a glass of water?” It gave me a perspective, that the water we reach for during anxiety or a nightmare is what calms it, almost like it kills the fear. I don’t know if I made complete sense, or if I failed to explain it properly. But it was something. Striking.

I feel Koreans are far ahead when it comes to filmmaking. They're so good at what they do that they often blur the line between fiction and reality. The Wailing (2016), directed by Na Hong-jin, is about a mysterious Japanese outsider who arrives in a small village. Soon after his arrival, a strange sickness begins to spread, and a police officer sets out to uncover the truth before it's too late to save his daughter. It's a simple story, but the way the screenplay is structured, along with the editing, turns it into a unique masterpiece. It perfectly demonstrates how a story can be manipulated to stay gripping and entertaining until the very end. The performances are another standout. Korean actors have an incredible sense of realism, they don't just play their characters, they become them. It genuinely feels like you're watching real people rather than actors. The child actor, in particular, did an exceptional job. I truly admire movies that keep me thinking long after they're over, about the characters, the atmosphere, and what could have been done differently to undo what had already happened. Great movie. 🙌🏼🔥

Better than Vaazha 1. Relatable characters, different family dynamics, religious differences, and chaotic love lives, it almost reminded me of my school days and all those unnecessary fights between siblings. The whole school portion felt very relatable, and the climax, where each character finally opens up and says the things they had been holding back and hugging each other. Really good performances overall.

"I'm nothing. I'm just a fuckin' piano tuner." Tuner (2025), a crime/thriller written and directed by Daniel Roher, follows a talented piano tuner whose meticulous skill at tuning pianos leads him to an unexpected discovery of cracking safes. Very entertaining. The cinematography and screenplay heavily reminded me of , especially Baby Driver, all those fast cuts jumping from one scene to another. The whole sound design, the way the character experiences it and how the film translates that to the audience, was a great experience in the cinema. These kinds of movies usually mess up the pacing, especially with the whole first-half/second-half balance. But this was perfect, not rushed, not stuffy, everything felt on point. After a long time, saw something original within this style of filmmaking. Totally worth it.

Drishyam 2.0, I bet Ajay Devgn has imagined himself as Mohanlal’s character and has also written the Hindi script. Thudarum, directed by Tharun Moorthy, is a crime thriller about a former stuntman who is deeply attached to his black Ambassador car. He lives a peaceful life with his family, but eventually gets pulled into an unwanted spiral that turns against him. Along with the cinematography, screenplay, and story, the standout is the antagonist. He initially appears as a sweet, kind gentleman, but as time passes, he reveals himself to be the most menacing presence. That character development is intense. And of course, Mohanlal delivers with charisma and effortless swag, backed by sharp action and screen presence. Totally worth it.

Good story. Loved the screenplay, the whole tour of brands and clothing, and the work culture of Runway. You can actually feel the pressure of a strict, mean boss, the overload of tasks, and the company norms through the screen and that was really well done. The problem I have is with the friendship narrative. It shows her friends and boyfriend getting annoyed because she doesn’t have time for them anymore, yet they don’t refuse the gifts she brings. In the end, she’s blamed for not giving them time like before. That’s a weak take on friendship. Yes, reality can be like that, but the film leans too much into making her seem wrong for prioritizing her job, the thing that literally pays her rent and food. Real friendships survive, who understands. If they don’t, they weren’t strong to begin with.

Good series, was engaging but i wanted more from the sci-fi plot, and less drama. And how they just left Tatiana part was annoying. Showing about her side and what was she upto also with this space mission, would've been more engaging instead of just stuffing drama and making it long.

Our Indian Ghost Rider - Karuppaaaa. Karuppu (2026), directed by RJ Balaji, is about the deity Vettai Karuppu, who takes the guise of a lawyer to fight a corrupt legal system and deliver justice. It’s a typical commercial Tamil entertainer. From the trailer, I honestly didn’t expect the story to be this simple. I wouldn’t call it boring, because Suriya has the screen presence and charisma to carry a film, but the 2-hour-30-minute-plus runtime definitely felt like a drag. The songs were good, though. I actually liked Retro more than this. Retro felt like a stylized entertainer, whereas Karuppu plays things much more conventionally. Most of the VFX scenes were weak and easily recognizable as CGI. The Leo reference also felt unnecessary. It seemed like it was included just to hype up the audience. I never expected a Suriya film to rely on references to another movie. Maybe it was a gift to Trisha. But anyway, 2 hours and 32 minutes was a stretch.

The movie lacks emotional bonding in its storyline. I didn’t really feel the friendship or brotherhood as strongly as the film intended. But the action sequences, both inside and outside the ring, were genuinely cool. The way the characters were introduced with their ring names felt straight out of the old WWE days. Even the presentation and choreography of the fight scenes were very well done. The whole rural-WWE vibe they created was entertaining, but the ending doesn’t do justice to the build up. The momentum drops hard in the final stretch, and it lowers the overall impact the movie had created till then.

Some parts were relatable, but most of it wasn’t (for me). The writing felt clumsy. They kept jumping between situations just to force an impactful climax that was supposed to break you emotionally, but it felt overdone. Like the girl, "Maya" her side of the story felt incomplete. They talked about her so much as if she would get some proper closure, but they just left it hanging. And I didn’t really get the Basil Joseph part either. He was parenting there parents, but nothing meaningful came out of it. It felt like filler that didn’t add much to the movie. But yeah, the climax was touching, and that “Makane” song hit hard.

S2 of Legacy of family drama ends. Pretty average season. All of this drama just for a little bit of monster play. Monsters!!!, which is why we watch it, but nope, they dragged it. So long that i know more about the characters then the actual monsters for which the shows made. But still production wise Apple studios never disappoints.

Punisher: One Last Kill? More like, “Punisher, how many more are you gonna kill?” The end credits rolled and I saw “Written by Jon Bernthal.” I was like, what exactly did he wrote? How to kill people, creative edition? Didn’t expect the pen kill though. It was pretty clear he wanted to make his own John Wick movie. Loved the camerawork and, of course, the action sequences. But that one CGI shot of Frank Castle falling down was so bad it completely killed the seriousness of the movie for me. Good timepass.

Script - 0 Fatality - 10/10 Mortal Kombat 2 directed by Simon McQuoid follows Johnny Cage joining the other fighters to defeat Shao Kahn, who threatens Earthrealm. The only good things are the visuals and the fight choreography. Everything else is as dead as the first one. It feels like a Power Rangers episode turned into a movie. The fight scene between Kung Lao and Liu Kang was the most beautiful one. The Johnny Cage and Baraka fight was also really enjoyable.

Should've stopped after the series. This was some "Hey, we still exist" type of shit.
