JL50 (2020)
A well tried but messed up attempt
JL 50... India's first serious attempt on time travel... A well tried but messed up attempt... A project based on time travel needed much more research but it looked like the director was in a hurry to sum up the series..The execution was deeply flawed with plenty of logical loopholes.. So the project offers exactly opposite of the huge expectation which it managed to create in the trailer... I know it will earn appreciations as it is based on a fresh concept unlike other indian webseries but i personally felt much more research was badly needed to make it a compact web series.. we all know what kind of research work mr. nolan & his team did for creating interstellar.. Afterall quantum physics is not "halwa"...
Anyway let's come to the positive part.. Abhay Deol Pankaj Kapoor & Piyush Mishra delivered performances to watch out for... All three were just fantastic especially piyush mishra with those killer eyes.. loved their performances a lot...
Honestly speaking... I admit it is a new kind of attempt with some quality performances by the lead actors but somehow i felt it is more of a cheap attempt due to lack of proper research work.. But i also admit it needs to be watched for at least one time as these kind of projects need encouragements so that more producers and directors get the courage to welcome fresh concepts like this..!!
M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story (2016)
sushant strikes...!! neeraj pandey starts well but gets clean bowled in the end..!!
Watched M s dhoni... along with his billions of admirers i also went to watch it with huge expectations.. but the question is... are my expectations fulfilled?? The ans is a big No...!!!! why?? I'll try to give the answers... but u have to read this post with patience..
firstly i must let u know that i am a die hard fan of four famous persons.. & they are... 1. the god of cricket, 2. the captain cool 3. The king of romance & 4. The Mozart of madras .... & this movie deals with of my idols i.e. the captain cool(by the way i am the fan of the finisher & captain dhoni not a fan of lover dhoni)... so... as a die hard fan i know almost every damn thing about him whatever TV has broadcast-ed and internet has published all through these years... what i didn't know was the inside stories.... no no no... i m not talking about controversies... after watching numerous biopics i knew very well that there will be no controversial sequences in this movie also... i am a matured movie goer u know...!! By saying inside stories i meant what was running inside my most beloved captains head in numerous occasions like after getting sudden captaincy before 2007t20wc & how did he prepare himself mentally for that or what did he think before giving the final over to joginder sharma in the final of the same WC or what was going through his mind before promoting himself up in the wc2011 final despite having poor form throughout the tournament(i knew he promoted himself up because i have watched the match many times and if i want to revisit those priceless moments then youtube is there for me.... all i wanted to know was.. why did he do so?? How did he get the confidence?? What was he thinking at that moment??? I went to watch this movie only to find the answers of these questions & to live those moments once again as well) and of course i wanted to know about his struggles right from his childhood days... the first half of the movie has managed to answer my last question by showing his earlier struggles brilliantly... but the 2nd half fails to answer my other questions miserably... how he became the greatest finisher??? How he became captain cool?? What motivated him to do such wonders while finishing matches or how did he manage to make the boldest of decisions as a captain?? What made him one of the finest match readers???? These questions remained unanswered... may be the director also thinks that msd is the "most luckiest captain" may be that's why he didn't bother to show the inside stories & dedicated the second half to his love life entirely... but Mr neeraj pandey u should know that these are the things(not his love life) which made msd the best finisher or the captain cool... so neeraj pandey gets a big zero from me despite making a brilliant 1st half... i m totally disappointed with his work in the 2nd half & with this movie as well...!!
The only good thing of this movie is... the performances of all the actors... but among all of them the immensely talented sushant singh rajput shines and shines like the mighty sun... he delivers his 200% in this movie... got a role of a lifetime & nailed it completely... hats off to his dedication... he was more than perfect in each & every frame... enjoyed his performance through out the movie... in fact he was the only reason why i glued to the seat till the end... deserves 100/100 for his epic performance...!!!!
So the bottom line is... m s dhoni the movie provides "untold story" in the first half and "told & exaggerated story" in the second half... overall... a disappointing movie..!!
And to finish it off in style(like msd) i would like to add a few more lines... if u have read this damn lengthy post completely & still survived then its alright.... but if u didn't.... then i must say this movie is 3hrs & 15mins long which is much much much more lengthy than this one... how will you survive that?????? :) :)
Sultan (2016)
a one time watch
One can not simply digest sultan after watching quality movies like rocky(series), creed, southpaw, raging bull, million dollar baby or Cinderella man.. so to be very honest, i didn't like it at all.. though salman anushka amit randeep(unused) tried their best... but the length and useless songs every now and then ruined it completely(for me)... editing is too bad.. so no grip in the movie at all... all it needed was removal of all useless scenes and songs and addition of more intense wrestling scenes especially in the Olympic and world wrestling championship events.. one can not simply go to the Olympics/world wrestling championships right from the 'akhada' & reach the finals... a few more matches of those events were desperately needed.. so this movie lacks intensity miserably...
but i must say despite these mistakes it is indeed a meaningful movie unlike kick ek tha tiger or bodyguard which makes it a decent one time watch.. but i m repeating once again... it could've been made way way better.... now waiting for dangal... to see what Mr. Perfectionist aamir khan has to offer... :)
Aligarh (2015)
A circle has been completed...
A circle has been completed... became a fan of manoj bajpai right from the very first day i watched satya eighteen years ago... "mumbai ka King kaun??" the dialogue which made my childhood so special... then came shool... what can i say... according to me it is India's best cop movie and is much much much ahead of gangajal as well and it will always remain so.. after that i thought we have got our first superstar who looks like a common man behaves like a common man but performs like a superstar... but i was wrong... look and behavior mattered in this case... he remained as the most underrated actor of all times.. it is a shame for all of us that such a powerful actor like him remained underrated... anyways.. lets come to the point... the circle has now been completed... i have watched aligarh.. the performance of manoj bajpai is not only spectacular but also the finest i have ever seen... now i can say i can happily forget satya or shool or gangs of wasseypur and live the rest of my life memorizing this epic performance which he has given in this movie... take a bow manoj bajpai... congratulations for the best actor national award... u totally deserve it... :)
