Before I start telling what’s good and what’s great in the movie here are a few spoilers. Ohk, I am kidding, the article contains discussions on some scenes and moments in the film so please proceed with caution as there will be a lot of spoilers ahead... Hell Ya!! the movie is too good to spoil for anyone(any fan). So let’s begin! To begin with, the film is a complete delight to watch from dialogues to visuals, till the final battle and that epic end, it’s spellbinding. It’s the most  apt and   just  endings written in a long time. MCU movies after Iron Man 2008, have grown to be one of the best movie watching experiences in the contemporary times, with almost 21 films before the Endgame, Marvel has created an enormous storyline with some great characters for everyone. Since, being aware of the fact that the film is great and has got all of us excited, I decided to review this in two points of view: A film: where it is just a 3 hour experience and nothing mor

Directed By Abhijeet Panse Produced By Sanjay Raut Director of Photography By Sudeep Chatterjee Production Design By Sandeep Sharad Ravade "Ghar Mera, bistar mera, sapne tere?!" This line from the film pretty much sums up the premise of this Friday release 'Thackeray', the movie that celebrates Shiv Sena Leader, Bala Saheb Thackeray's life and work. As a film student, I want to review the movie from its making point of view majorly and will just try to talk on the politics as many events happened or shown in the film are plainly shown from a one-point perspective and are a bit skewed as far as storytelling in films is concerned. The film gives subjective justice and less objectivity to the events that have taken place. None the less, they have tried for an objective approach of making Bala Saheb Thackeray stand on a trial from start to end, but you already know that the end of the movie will be an unbiased statement. The film's storyline tel

A superstar  experimenting with his talent... Two legends of the film industry sharing screen space for the very first time... An action hero plays a villain in a blockbuster franchise... OR A sacred war between good and evil... An adolescent struggling with his parent's pregnancy... A blind man witnessing a murder... What would you want to watch/be a part of/remember? Of course, the latter part sounds more interesting, but if in any case, you prefer the former, let me tell you 'YOU ARE TRAPPED!"; trapped in a maw of 'misunderstood worship'. Let me explain! We, the Indian audiences, have loved our stars as Raj, Shensha, Bhuvan, Gabbar, Baburao Ganpatrao Apte, Chandni, Mr. India, Umrao Jaan, Vijay Dinanath Chauhan etc. In other words, we were mesmerized by the characters journey and how beautifully or courageously they overcame their fears. But midway in the process we stopped looking at the characters and started lookin

To start with the blog contains spoilers, so if you've not seen Ghoul and are proceeding, well, I warned you! It is always a delight to watch a good script or rather a good Screenplay. Be it a drama or a sci-fi or some fantasy, good screenplays are rare and that is why they should be cherished. To understand Ghoul we need to understand - 'What is Ghoul ?'   Ans: A ghoul is a demon or monster originating in pre-Islamic Arabian religion associated with graveyards and consuming human flesh. (Wikipedia Info) But the story dwells on the idea that Ghoul has a capability to shapeshift into its prey or the last bit. To understand Ghoul more as a screenplay we need to go according to the classic THREE ACT structure and then we can know exactly 'Why?' it is a great screenplay. ACT 1 - The Set Up  The set up is modern India in it's Socio-Political and Nationalist dilemma, and due to this situation, our protagonist Radhika Apte's character Nida Rah

Ohk! Sanju is not a terrorist but he is a master filmmaker. After contemplating for a very long time between whether to write on Sanju or just let people see it and make their own opinions about the film, I couldn't resist but to write about the most awaited movie of Bollywood of 2018 #SANJU; and its place in Indian Cinema. Just the way Awards have lost their lustre in these years; from giving awards to legends like Late Kishor Kumar, Lata Mangeshkar, R.D. Burman etc., now we see awards given to Roadies cum Actors and legacy actors. It's sad to see Bollywood lose the same lustre and rust in the name of Biopics like Sanju. Sanju alone is a great film, great screenplay, great storytelling, the Midas touch of Raj Kumar Hirani (RKH) itself but somewhere the movie utterly fails.... .the purpose! Biopic culture of this industry is facing the same fate as 'Acche din'; over promised and under delivered. Have you seen 'Rin' and 'Surf Excel' Ads?

We all are shit scared to watch a horror film, but we still watch it. The sole reason for doing so is that it keeps us on the edge of our seats, all the time. We many times don't care what the story holds for us but if it has some great moments, that can scare us even after the movie is done, that's some 'paisawasool factor' right there; and if such a film has a great storyline, nothing like it. The last horror movie I saw was 'Pari: not a fairy tale', and it intrigued me to this basic question, what happens to this genre when it comes to Bollywood? Producer Actor Anushka Sharma, putting her faith in this project and genre tried to revolutionize the horror industry again, but sadly all the efforts and money went in vain, yet again. A few years back we could hear Bipasha Basu saying it in the media... and taking the flag of the horror genre and before that Director-Producer Ram Gopal Verma was the one claiming the seat, these were some good oppor
