Remarkable Masterpiece: My quick take on Vicky Kaushal’s “Sardar Udham” Don’t miss out on this Oscar worthy production. Take a bow, Soojith Sarkar and the ‘Sardar Udham’ team, for bringing these ‘lost’ pages of our past to light. ‘Koi zinda hai ?’ , is one of the heart wrenching dialog of the movie which will definitely ‘awaken’ a patriot in you as you watch the movie. Apart from the…

Sadakchaap: My quick take on Bhat camp’s “Sadak 2”

Yes, I am guilty of watching this “Sadakchaap” Sadak 2, which claims to be a sequel to the 90’s cult movie “Sadak”. Those were the days when Bhatt’s were ruling the roost and churning out hit after hits like Aashiqui, Daddy, Dil hai Ki manta nahi….. I think Kartoos was the last movie Mahesh Bhat directed and suddenly he took sannyasa from the…

Nations paradigm shift: My quick take on web Series “Avarodh – The siege within”

If Uri, the surgical strike has pumped up your ‘Josh’, then Avarodh will make you ecstatic. Looks like Sony Liv has caught the pulse of the Indian audience, as this is the second good web series, I have binge-watched on this OTT platform. Surprisingly, Avarodh has not recd the kind of appreciation and accolades as…

My quick take on Vidyut Jammwal’s “Khuda Haafiz”

This Independence Day I had a plate full of movies/series to watch and it was sheer coincidence that all three had something to do with my ‘Desh’ prem. I have already reviewed the “Gunjan Saxena-The Kargil girl”, the second was a damn impressive web series “Avarodh – The siege within” (My take – Work in progress) and the third one is this “Khuda…

Desi ‘Top-Gun’ with no ‘Jaan’ : My quick take on new movie ‘Gunjan Saxena – The Kargil girl’

What could have been a damn inspirational movie was reduced into an insipid drama. It’s once again proven that Bollywood is still taking baby steps in making a convincing biography (recently we saw it in Shakuntala Devi) It’s a classic case of missed golden opportunity.

It’s a first ever woman to…

Awesome Musical : My quick take on Shankar Ehsan Loy’s “Bandish Bandits”

Awesome Musical: My quick take on Shankar Ehsan Loy’s “Bandish Bandits”

I still remember those yesteryears when we used to go to movies just because of its music. Thanks to Shankar Ehsan Loy for bringing back the classical music in circulation. This is the second time SEL is treating us with great music, the first time it was in a Marathi movie “Katyar Kaljaat Ghusli”, but this was a different…

My take on Netflix’s latest murder mystery “Raat akeli hai”

No, this movie has nothing to do with the popular German series DARK, the setting of this Raat is literally shot in the labyrinth of darkness so I was tempted to call it desi dark. I don’t know why they have to shoot a murder mystery in dark night settings.

This is one of those whodunit category murder mystery where a murder takes…

नो यारा : My quick take on Tigmanshu Dhulia’s latest movie ‘Yaara’

Utterly disappointing movie by this NSD pass out. Looks like it is his pre NSD class assignment. The movie boldly claims that it is an official remake of a French movie ‘The gang story’, now I wonder if the original was also a B or C grade movie.

Dhulia, who is associated with some cult movies like Haasil, Paan Singh Tomar, Sahib biwi aur gangster… even Bandit Queen in his repertoire, I wonder…
