is loosely based on a true story, and OMG! Itโs gory, harrowing, savage and just ugh to watch, but cool tooโฆ It was was surprising to be highly entertained and we were amused by this movie. is the directorial genius behind this movie, has created an energetic, humorous, and yet violent ride from beginning to end that will leave viewers gasping. The screenplay is well done and the soundtrack is pretty decent but the actual score really works well with the movie as it leads up to making the plot tensed and takes a back seat to the action and then is right there after youโre trying to contemplate how brutally that bear ripped someoneโs limbs off! LOL!! Pretty cool.

a story that defines being cunning and calculative like no other. Crazy to think that something like this can happen and go unnoticed for so long! Itโs a good watch. Most of the new age documentaries are biased, but this one shows you both sides of the stories and keeps it interesting, but could be divided into episodes and released as a show to be more gripping.

started off with all the hype but ended almost failing to impress. Almost because the strong storyline has interesting twists and turns that keep you glued and wondering but they arenโt enough to be saved from the repetitive screenplay leading to redundancy. The characters are nothing short of brilliant. The ensemble cast delivers stellar performances, portraying a diverse array of personalities, each harboring secrets and motives of their own. The depth of character development, though at some places not needed, allows viewers to connect with, suspect, and sympathize with them, adding an emotional layer to the suspense. and steal the show while the rest of the cast is good too. From the get-go, the intricate plot weaves a tapestry of thrill and builds suspense by introducing a labyrinth of clues and enigmas that keeps the audience guessing until the final frame. The climax though disliked by a few, was the only logical ending if you think about it. Gonna give other shows by a go after experiences this brooding, tense and dark show.

Poison, the latest short film by Wes Anderson, is a wild ride! Adapted from a Roald Dahl story, the film is visually stunning, with Anderson's signature style is on full display. The use of color, composition, and framing is truly masterful, creating a world that is both whimsical and suspenseful.
:
The performances are also top-notch. Cumberbatch is perfectly cast as the arrogant and panicking Harry, while Patel and Kingsley bring both humor and gravitas to their roles.
:
But what truly elevates "Poison" is its ending. Without giving too much away, let's just say it's a twist you won't see coming, and it leaves you thinking long after the credits roll. If you're looking for a short film that is both entertaining and thought-provoking, then "Poison" is definitely worth checking out.

Alrighty take a bow for hitting it out of the park again and how! A movie balancing emotions, action and drama commendably. Gripping from the get-go, Fighter is a rollercoaster that youโll want to experience again and again. This class mass adrenaline filled movie starring and other supporting casts has a storyline so gripping and a screenplay so crisp along with amazing background score that helps build all the tension and keeps you hooked and glued to your seat making this movie a delightful experience. The chemistry between and is scintillating and you canโt help but root for them. The powerful scenes delivered by are riveting and the bonding portrayed by the team along with their sacrifices and fight for their motherland, the pride they have in being the Indian Air Force will leave you feeling patriotic and having goosebumps. The music is on point and unlike other Bollywood movies, itโs rightly placed and aptly used to enhance the overall feel. Youโll find yourself angry and crying and happy and cheering on the team like you are one of them. A masterpiece and very well timed release on the occasion of Indiaโs Republic Day, this isnโt one to be missed and especially so on the big screen. While some scenes are too much for kids, our 6 year old enjoyed the overall movie with a few instances where we diverted her attention to her iPad instead of the big screen. Coming to the aerial scenes - they were brilliant. The flight sequences are crafted with precision and with all the things that are going on - Top Gun has been replacedโฆ There, we said it.

The Watcher is back, and he's bringing us nine more trippy tales from the Marvel multiverse in What Ifโฆ? season 2. This time around, the focus is even more on alternate timelines and crazy hypotheticals, with each episode exploring a different "what if" scenario.
:
The animation is even better than season 1. The action sequences are fluid and exciting, and the characters look more expressive than ever. The voice acting is superb. Jeffrey Wright is once again fantastic as the Watcher, and the rest of the cast does a great job of bringing their characters to life. The stories are more creative and ambitious than ever. This season really takes advantage of the multiverse premise, and the results are often mind-blowing. Lastly, there's more emotional depth than you might expect. Some of the episodes are surprisingly poignant, and they'll make you think about the choices we make and the consequences of our actions.
:
Overall, What Ifโฆ? season 2 is a sizable improvement across its predecessor while retaining its familiar flair. It's a fun, exciting, and thought-provoking look at the infinite possibilities of the Marvel universe and gives the MCU a welcome jolt of excitement.

Directed by ofcourse you gotta keep your physics education and mind aside to enjoy this high-octane masterpiece which is more than just action; itโs a visual spectacle with choreographed sequences that deliver an adrenaline rush. Starring names like .tiwari were all brilliant. With so many moving parts, the ex*****on was commendable and each supporting actor has also done a great job. Overall though the storyline was predictable yet crisp screenplay kept you glued and the 7 episodes make it very bingeable.

Season 6 of The Crown is like a well-worn corgi, it's both comforting and full of surprises. While it doesn't quite recapture the magic of earlier seasons, it offers a poignant and thought-provoking reflection on the twilight years of Queen Elizabeth II's reign.
:
Imelda Staunton delivers a nuanced portrayal of the aging monarch as her Elizabeth is stoic yet vulnerable, grappling with the changing tides of public opinion and the ghosts of her past. Lesley Manville's Princess Margaret is another stroke of genius as she brings a depth and complexity to the role that's often been overlooked. Lastly, Elizabeth Debicki delivers a mind-blowing performance as Process Diana with the panache and the grace one saw in the real Diana.
:
The season tackles possibly the most controversial chapter of recent British history, the tragic death of Princess Diana. The show's signature blend of historical accuracy and fictionalized drama is on full display here, leaving viewers to ponder the weight of the crown and the complexities of royal life.
:
However, Season 6 isn't without its flaws. The pacing can feel sluggish at times, and some of the subplots feel underdeveloped. The portrayal of Diana, in particular, has drawn criticism for being overly sentimentalized.
:
Despite its shortcomings, The Crown remains a captivating and thought-provoking drama. It's a fitting finale to a series that has redefined historical fiction for the television age. Whether you're a die-hard monarchist or a casual observer, there's something to be gleaned from this final glimpse into the world behind the palace walls.
:
So, should you watch it? Absolutely! Just be prepared for a bittersweet experience. As the credits roll on the final episode, you'll be left with a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era and a newfound appreciation for the enduring legacy of Queen Elizabeth II.

the newest movie released on is exactly what youโd expect it to me and hence just an ok watch with nothing out of the ordinary actually. was great, and so was and the best part of this film was how they pulled the blended family part off well. The assassin part was redundant but lots of movies have been made on this so one canโt really blame them. The movie doesnโt seem for 2024, probably was a delayed release, but anyways can be added to your watch list for a relaxed evening.

A nicely concluded film leaves you wondering if this really is the truth of our society - that one personal moment, leaked online by mistake completely shatters p***c image and how! Unfair is an understatement.

is a on steroids!! Entertaining and mindless pass time, itโs just a guilty pleasure that makes you feel smarter, but poor at the same time, LOL!! The outfits, luxury and opulent events are a feast for the eyes. It is not a documentary, neither is it study on Arab identity or a show that claims to represent Arabs or the region - but itโs a close enough representation of wealth in Dubai!

Just crossed the finish line of Gran Turismo and let me tell you, this movie packs a punch! This movie has something for everyone. It has stunning visuals, immersive race sequences, and the satisfying roar of engines. Director Neill Blomkamp brings the iconic game to life with a cinematic eye that'll have you glued to the screen. The film is not just about speed though, it tells the inspiring true story of Jann Mardenborough, a teenage gamer who turns his virtual victories into a real-life racing career. It's a classic underdog tale with heart, grit, and a message about chasing your dreams no matter the odds.
:
The movie has a lot of things going for it. It is visually stunning and transports you to the world of professional racing. The races keep your heart going at full adrenaline with the superb combination of the background music and the edge-of-your-seat action. It is also a classic underdog tale that will make you believe in anything. Archie Madekwe, David Harbour and Orlando Bloom have all given amazing, heartfelt performances.
:
Overall, Gran Turismo is a winner! Whether you're a gearhead or just looking for a feel-good ride, this movie will leave you exhilarated and cheering for the checkered flag.

What in the world was this movie, and what in the world were people obsessing over? Please explainโฆ LOL!! Yes, yes, hereโs the review from our point of the view, you donโt have to explain - LOL!! So basically what looks very promising fails to impress and deliver as it progresses. With strong names like and there was a lot of expectations and then with all the controversy theories surrounding the release of the movie, it was hyped way beyond what it delivered. This movie had strong points no double, and cool scenes for sure but half way through the movie, it was hard to be interested and even care which direction the movie was going. And the ending - what was that?! I get it, cliff hanger, maybe, open ending maybe / but like some kind of closure or explanation even would have good, it was truly disappointing for sure.

There are films and then there are socially aware films, and this one is that. is so relevant in todayโs times, itโs surreal. The storyline is great, screenplay crisp, acting top notch and the music adds depth to the emotions of the film. is phenomenal and is good too and so is in the lead roles. A cool Gen Z film with a message for all ages, a brilliant take on the addiction of social media and wanting to be someone you arenโt! Overall, a very refreshing watch.

This heartfelt and touching movie directed by .rajkumar starring among others while isnโt the usual movie youโd expect from itโs definitely worth the watch. From its emotions to the storyline to the acting and the reality shown, this is a masterpiece. It shows the actual world of how illegal immigrants try to make a life for themselves, but end up getting treated so badly. They still donโt complain and keep on going to make the lives of their families back home worth it. The movie will make you smile, make you cry and most of all make you feel the pain of the characters the actors are playing. While giving kudos, letโs not forget who is phenomenal in his guest appearance. Overall a movie that warms your heart and makes you recommend it to family and friends hence why the theaters have been house full and overflowing no matter which theater - day of the week - or showtime you pick.

Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom doesnโt take itself seriously and is committed to being weird and wacky above all else, with a plethora of mildly exciting fight scenes that evoke the sensation of a comic book come to life. Despite a charismatic turn from Momoa and some fun frenemy banter, this is a disappointing send-off that sees the DCEU go out with a squelch rather than a splash.
:
The underwater world is still breathtaking. Director James Wan knows how to paint an ocean canvas with vibrant colors and awe-inspiring creatures. Think giant shrimp the size of buses and jellyfish that light up the abyss like bioluminescent discos.
:
Jason Momoa is back as Arthur Curry, and his charisma is undeniable. He delivers cheesy one-liners with a wink and a grin, making even the most ridiculous plot points palatable. His frenemy banter with Patrick Wilson is both amusing and heartwarming.
:
The story, however, is where things get murky. It's a convoluted mess of rival kingdoms, ancient prophecies, and family drama, all crammed into a bloated runtime. The action sequences are plentiful, but they eventually feel repetitive. CGI creatures clash, bubbles fly, and Aquaman punches things. Rinse and repeat. We yearned for a little more emotional depth or strategic nuance.
:
Overall, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom is a visually stunning popcorn flick, but it lacks the emotional core and narrative coherence of its predecessor. If you're looking for pure escapism and Momoa's infectious grin, you might enjoy the ride. But for those seeking a deeper dive into the DC Universe, this might leave you feeling a bit dry.

Napoleon is a visually stunning and thought-provoking experience. It's not just a history lesson, it's a human drama about ambition, love, and the dangers of power.
:
Joaquin Phoenix is mesmerizing as the French emperor. His intensity and vulnerability capture Napoleon's ambition, brilliance, and eventual downfall.
:
The visuals are breathtaking. Ridley Scott paints a stunning picture of battlefields, imperial palaces, and intimate moments with masterful cinematography. Think sweeping landscapes, grand costumes, and gritty close-ups.
:
The love story with Josephine is both passionate and tragic. Their fiery connection adds depth and complexity to Napoleon's character, but it also raises questions about his priorities.
:
The film doesn't shy away from the dark side of Napoleon. His ruthlessness and megalomania are on full display, making him a fascinatingly flawed figure.
:
But is it perfect? No. The pacing is uneven and the character development could be deeper. I agree that it could have explored his motivations and psychology more.
:
Overall, I recommend checking it out if you're a fan of historical epics, complex characters, and stunning visuals. But be prepared for a film that doesn't shy away from the messy realities of history.

The animation was beautiful, mesmerizing and colorful - absolutely the right combination to keep the kids and adults entertained and engaged - and definitely even more magical in the theaters!

Pain Hustlers is a wild ride, a mix of thriller, drama, and dark humor, all based on the true story of a woman who took down a billion-dollar opioid racket.
:
Emily Blunt is absolutely phenomenal as Liza Drake, a single mom who just wants to provide for her daughter. Liza is smart, ambitious, and morally conflicted. She sees the pain and addiction firsthand, but she also sees the opportunity to make a lot of money. The lines between right and wrong start to blur, and Liza has to make some tough choices.
:
The supporting cast is also excellent, especially Chris Evans as the charming but slippery CEO of the company. It has honestly been fun and entertaining to see him as something other than Captain America. The film is fast-paced and suspenseful, and it doesn't shy away from the dark side of the opioid crisis. It's a powerful indictment of the greed and corruption that fueled this epidemic.
:
But "Pain Hustlers" is more than just a cautionary tale. It's also a story about ambition, resilience, and the fight for justice. Liza is a flawed but unforgettable character, and I couldn't help but root for her even when she was making bad decisions. If you're looking for a movie that will stay with you long after the credits roll, I highly recommend "Pain Hustlers." It's a must-watch!

David O. Russell's latest film, Amsterdam, is a star-studded misfire that tries to be too many things at once. It's a period piece, a mystery, a comedy, and a drama, but it never quite succeeds at any of them. You might like some aspects of it, but the sheer variety and the constant swerving between genres swerved this movie right off the road.
:
The film is set in 1933 Amsterdam and stars Christian Bale, Margot Robbie, and John David Washington as the three leads. The supporting cast includes Rami Malek, Anya Taylor-Joy, Robert De Niro, and Mike Myers. Unfortunately, even with such a strong and charismatic cast, the movie couldn't deliver due to its convoluted plot and the poor editing that led to a lumbering and patchy narrative flow.
:
Despite its flaws, Amsterdam is not without its charms. The cast is excellent, and the film has some moments of humor and suspense. But overall, it's a disappointing film that wastes its potential.

Bobby Deol kya baat hai paaji!! And Ranbir you were mesmerizing- your acting gave me goosebumps and sent chills down my spine. you could have been a little bit better overall, but that one scene - your honesty in your acting, hit it out of the park. The rest of the cast - all the supporting actors were phenomenal as well.

Itโs either a movie youโll like or one you wonโt - there probably wonโt be a middle ground. Definitely not for kids as the violence is beyond imaginable. The fight sequence with song in the background was just spectacular. The movie overall is phenomenal and is being called on steroids and rightly so. Definitely give it a chance and watch it in the theater even if itโs not something that youโll usually find yourself rooting for. you looked ethereal and so good to see you on screen!

was the most disastrous industrial accident that you can read up on but this show focuses on the and their sacrifices and heroism and is definitely a very well made series keeping you glued and even biting your nails.
:
Itโs thrilling and a poignant show, and will make you feel the helplessness of the people dealing with this life threatening situation that unfolded on the night chilly December night in 1984. All the actors are mostly unknown except for the main cast, making it more authentic and believable. The narrative is brilliant!! It moves like a ticking time bomb and the hour long episode 2 is a complete thriller.
:
and are both outstanding and so is .i.k along with and additionally the background score is brilliant and this series is indeed based on the true events and should be on top of your watch list for this weekend.

There isnโt really any flaw in this series to be honest, itโs just a brilliant emotional rollercoaster showing you just how selfless Indians can we in the time of crisis and how our community comes together to help each other out.
