Bigil movie review

Image
The movie starts with a terrible introduction. Atlee is generally a Vijay fanatic, so I thought there will be more mass scenes. More than football, the expectations for me is the performance of one man i.e. Vijay. But the introduction scene was disappointing. Then the Nayanthara introduction came which was better than Vijay's. Of course it was subtle but that didn't ruin the introduction part. But that's it. All the scenes between Nayanthara and Vijay was boring. There was no love. It felt like a casual relationship between a guy and girl who found each other in Tinder. The duet Unakaga song situation is most irritating. Most of the football match scenes are disaster. The whole VFX gives an irritation to the eyes. I wondered why Atlee can't find a decent play ground to shoot scenes like this. That would have been more natural. Another thing is most scenes are shot in the artificial sets. It's not that it should not be done in sets. But it was so evident. Espe...

Weathering with you aka Tenki no ko movie review

Image
Weathering with you also known as Tenki  no ko(Child of weather) - A Japanese animation 2D movie. Japanese movies almost or atleast the movies that I watched like Your Name, The grave of the fireflies, The princess monoke and Spirited away have a very unique story. It will be fresh, in the sense that story will be having a great fantasy stuff. Thats what always works for me. You see a Japanese movie then you can be sure that story will be good and it will not the batter that was grinded again and again. I thought Weathering With You will also be like the same. The story started good, a sunshine girl and a runaway kid caring each other and falling in love. But then there was no magic. Screenplay was not interesting enough to keep it going. Only thing that you would feel is a rainy season. A nonstop pouring. But it's already rainy season in real world, so I don't think it will be positive. Some songs here and there was okay. Weathering with you could have been better as the st...

The Marvelous Mrs Maisel Season 2 Review

Image
The Marvelous Mrs Maisel Season 2 is intense in terms of emotions and equally good as season 1. Just like season 1, you keep loving Mrs. Maisel character. Such a pretty good character she is. Of course she is beautiful doll, but it was amazing to see her adjustable when she goes for a tour to shittiest clubs. I personally liked her. But when she decides to plan for a relationship with a boring doctor I felt like, "what did she in himself?". He is not even interesting. Just a white lanky person. Not even like Joel. Speaking of Joel, he became interesting when he shows his emotions towards Midge. You started to like him even though he spent a night with Midge. Another noticeable thing in season 2 is camera work. I liked how they shot the moving car, started from the back and rowed it in the front in a single shot. Drone might have done that. Just like Joel, Susie, Midge's parents character also became interesting. Another beautiful thing is the songs that comes based on ...

The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel Season 1 review

Image
The last time I remember seeing Rachel Posner is ( The lead actress who played as Mirriam Midge also known as Mrs. Maisel) in House of Cards. Such a small role she got there. Yet she done it beautifully. There they teased and tortured her. I often wondered why they have to harm such an innocent beauty. And after watching The Marvelous Mrs Maisel Season 1, I got so relieved that they haven't done any of the things I mentioned before. She perfectly fits for this role as Mrs Maisel. She is cute, smart and funny. She got almost everything a guy wants. That's why you will easily fall in love with the character. You deeply start loving her that when she got split up from her husband you get happy and when she reunites you almost feel like you have been thrown into abysmal. Be it the dialogue delivery or the body language she does everything perfectly and not even a single scene you cannot blame her for her performance. Such a wonderful acting. And then, there is Susie who is the m...

Fleabag Series review

Image
I honestly thought Fleabag is Fleabag till two,three episodes. But then some kind of good thing happened within the character that made me to continue watching. The unique thing of Fleabag is the lead character's way of expressing things the way she pouts and the her way of contortion of the face. It really gets interesting. Another noticeable thing might be the lead character's narrating style - communicating directly with the audience. This narrative gets more interesting when the other character tried to find why she is looking into other direction to have a convo with the viewers. ( This part comes in second season). Though Kevin Spacey already done the same thing in House of Cards, the way how lead character does in Fleabag is different and not annoying. Coming to the background score, the choir humming perfectly fits in the backdrop. About the cast , Claire and Priest character draws a peculiar positive attention apart from Fleabag character. Even though, here an...

Asuran Movie review

Image
No matter how many times  you are asked to control, Vengeance and Valour can't be easily controlled. Disturbed. People breaks out. This is what Asuran deals. From the start, the movie doesn't ramble, directly dips into the story, which helps us to  not lose concentration which we might have as the story revolves around two time periods involving Sivasamy and Chithambaram. The part that deals Chithambaram comes in first half while the Sivasamy comes in the later. The merging point of the two characters are written brilliantly. It shows the effort of the writer. (Asuran is based on the Tamil novel Vekkai which is written by Poomani ). Asuran is not only about the Vengeance - it shows how hard to be brought in a caste based society, especially when you are under casted. Scenes which shows the privilege of wearing the slippers gives a fresh feel of how people were discriminated even though they have the strength to buy a pair of slipper. This movie gives lot of thinking. On...

The Family Man (2019) Series Review

Image
The Family man deals with the torn and dusted concept, but with a very interesting screenplay. The lead character Manoj, who we know him as a tonsured man in Gangs of wasseypur transformed himself into a humorous agent with greater skills of lying. He may even convince India's economy is growing with his lies. Such a convincing acting. There are too many mediocre scenes turn into comedy because of his body language and his colloquial language. With him on one side, we have the two monstrous children. God, I don't know what I would do if I am a father. Even a character like Srikant Tiwari, the lead character struggles to handle them. For us, these become plus point, as it shows how difficult it would be if we become Family Man. Sorry, The Family Man. All this drama and comedy on one side, Srikant Tiwari diligently works in Taasc, a Government organisation which prevents what needs to be prevented. His convincing lies and analytical strategy helps in fighting terrorism - t...
