Luka Chuppi -2/5

Extremely vague storyline in the beginning, couldn't understand how one scene led to another. Post-interval it felt like the movie was dragging on for no reason. I cannot understand how various websites have rated the movie so high.

However, I absolutely LOVED Pankaj Tripathi's acting. That man is a rare gem, and his scenes were extremely funny.

KGF: Chapter 1
Language: Hindi
Genre: Thriller, action
Rating:4.5/5

It has a strong plot and decent action scenes and dialogues (though of course some of them are over the top, courtesy the Sandalwood industry). Yash has done a good job of acting. Great attention-to-detail. Overall a must watch. It is being compared to the Bahubali series, and rightly so.

A word of caution: Please try not to watch it in Hindi. Preferably watch in it Kannada itself. The dubbing of the movie is pretty poor. Spoils what is otherwise a great movie.

OT, but I wonder why are there no other threads for Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi movies. Can we arrange for them?

You would wonder now as to how you miss this thread :

https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/shift...thread-34.html (The Regional movies thread!)

No, I meant a separate thread for each language. But then I guess the individual volumes would be too low.
Much like FCA India who has bought in Mopar rather than introduce exclusive Jeep dealerships an addition to existing Fiat dealerships, both of which would then suffer from terribly low individual volumes!

We are essentially an automobile forum, 3 movie threads (Hindi, English, Regional) are more than enough just as 2 threads for photography (auto and non-auto). And director specific movie thread (as suggested by you in other thread) is out of question.

Watched Badla today.

The remake of "The invisible guest" has an excellent story line. Stellar performances from Tapsee Pannu and Amitabh Bachchan. I am not a fan of Hindi murder thrillers, where we see quite a few loose ends, unnecessary song and dance sequences with splash of blood and gore, but this film is an exception, like Andhadhun.

Rating : 4/5

Saw the newly released 'Mard ko dard nahi hota'.
What a fresh new way of presenting a feature film. Crisp acting, un complicated plot, exceptional action sequences and very tight presentation. The lead has a persona similar to those 70s/80s western action starts and the film direction is reminiscence to the style similar to that of Frank Miller and Robert Rodriquez.
Give this one a go, it should not be disappointed.

Trivia- The lead actor is the son of yester year's actress Bhagyashree Patwardhan who rose to fame after Maine Pyar Kiya.

I don't think I will be able to watch the new movie Kalani, at least not in theatres. Looks like a typical multi-starrer emotional drama.

Gully Boy is already on Prime Video! Pleasantly surprised at the speed. If you don't have any plans tonight, my strong recommendation is to call for a pizza, sink into your couch and watch the movie.

Rating a full 5 / 5 stars. I enjoyed every minute of it! Liked Ranveer in Dil Dhadakne Do, loved him in Padmaavat & he is equally good in Gully Boy. Amazing screen presence & acting. Alia is damn cute too.

- Post the NE mission, the officer talks directly to the PM and Paresh Rawal whilst the General? looks on
- The IB officer (Yami Gautam) leads the operations while all others are just busy emoting.
- With what could have been an extremely gritty and fast paced content, this comes out as being lost and trying to lift spirits from time to time, the intensity was just not there
- Whats with breaking phones?
- Everyone switches off their night vision glasses when they should be using them while hitting the bad guys, everyone's glasses glow like crazy which defeats the purpose of a night vision glass advantage
Duh!

I so wish this master stroke event is remade by Farhan Akhtar or Kathryn Bigelow!

Precisely the reason I chose to avoid the movie. I didn't have the heart to go and watch a bunch of filmmakers commercialising one of the greatest, hair-raising operations by our armed forces!

We don't need Bollywood to tell us how to thank and honour our Armed Forces! Happy that there are other like minded BHPians!

Request
Guys in Bollywood, please don't make a movie on Abhinandan Varthaman and the cross border strike. He is already a hero, we don't want you guys to spoil it..!!

Saw it couple of days back on Prime Video. Absolutely smashing performance by Ranveer Singh.. dare say right now he is the best talent in his age group going around.
Alia was refreshing, others were good too. But, the thing I loved most were the lyrics of all the rap songs.. kudos to the lyricist. A Must watch movie.

Has anyone seen Tashkent Files? Would like to get an honest unbiased review..( due to the political nature of the movie)

Watched Kalank over the weekend. Beautiful sets, a few good songs and decent acting. Apart from this, there's nothing else which was good in the movie. There's hardly any story and there are several loop holes but the movie went on for close to 3 hrs. Several characters but most of them are irrelevant. I would recommend not watching it even when it is aired on the TV. I loved 3 of its songs and one can find them on YouTube.

Kalank - 1/5

You are correct. The story is not that great and has been stretched into a long movie. It could have been screen played in 2 hours. The multi starcast with good acting was a treat to watch and that's probably the only positive point of the movie. The movie can be seen once for its starcast only.

It worth watching if one is into history and loves conspiracy theories. Mithun and Naseeruddin shah acting is good and shows how politicians work.
