Power Packed comeback of Kamal Haasan
Vikram is one of the most interesting and anticipating movie for everyone because of the massive star cast. After Pushpa, RRR and KGF Chapter 2, Vikram is released to roar. The film is a complete commercial paisa wasool movie.
First half of the movie is fantastic. Fahadh Faasil is the best young actor in today's time according to me. He has done a superb job. Vijay Setupathy is a gem of an actor. I loved his entry scene here. No other actor can pull up this entry scene as he has done it. Other star cast is also very much suitable and provide a good support. First half belongs to FaFa and Vijay.
While, the second half is a treat for Kamal Haasan fans. Ulaga Nayagan- Kamal Haasan is extremely good in the post interval portion. You will be surprised to see him firing constantly from the giant machine gun. That scene is on another level.
Though, one may find first half awesome and second half a bit stretched. I found that there are some surprises in the later half, but there are a few blunders too. But just a few. Like I didn't get the scene of child re-breathing.
Special mention to the actress who played the role of a maid. She is superb.
Lokesh's direction is improving gradually. This film will be considered his finest directorial product. He has done a fine job, without getting caught by the idea of too much slow-motion, which many people hate including me, and which were too much in KGF. Though, this film is different from RRR and KGF, it can be compared with Pushpa. As part 2 is coming here too. People are going to love Surya as the bad guy in part two. Just a glimpse of him in the end was terrific.
Anirudhha has done his job superbly once again. The title theme music is on my mind while I'm writing this. Extraordinary music with a catchy tune is what Anirudhha offers to you!
On the whole, a must watch movie in theaters. This is how a good commercial south indian movie looks like. A good movie with stellar performances.

Shahid Kapoor and team bring you the pure heart!
After the storm of south Indian masala movies, this one comes as a pure heart from Bollywood. Though, this is also a South Indian movie, because the director of the film is Gowtam Tinnanuri, who had made the same film in Telugu before.
This time it is Shahid Kapoor as Arjun Talwar in the film. After the massive success of Kabir Singh, a class act from him is expected. And he delivers it likewise. Along with superb supportive cast of Pankaj Kapoor and Mrunal Thakur.
Film Jersey is about a cricketer who quits cricket initially but decides to revive his career at the age of 36 for his son's dream and to eventually prove his ability. Although, Shahid is also an underdog for Bollywood. With every film he has to prove himself to the industry. Still no biggies support him, on his film releasing or even on his birthday. But he is playing it with true spirits every time. He delivers a good score and gets sustained.
This film is emotionally rich. After a while, there is a multiplex movie, which can be seen with parents and children. It is a perfect family package in recent times. With eye catching cinematography by Anil Mehta and full of heart music by Sachet-Parampara, this film has a solid look and feel. Songs are fantastic. Kudos to music team and lyricist Shelly. Each song has depth. My favourite from this album is Mayya Mainu. It is pure gold, and thus on the top position in the list of best songs since last December.
Cricket and films are two big things in India. Both has emotions attached with it. This stylish film gives you a complete entertainment. Shahid’s character is underdog, who can achieve something big, but nobody is willing to give him a chance. He fights back and prove himself. That is why this story of a normal guy is relatable to one and all. It has a wider reach for sure. Though it is a fact that after seeing never before visuals in recent movies, one should ask more. But one should understand that, this is an emotional film, not a money maker. One should differentiate between the different genres of movies and judge them accordingly.
On the whole, go and watch out Jersey. It will surely give you a good time at cinema with your entire family together.

Good story of Protagonist vs Antagonist.
Rani Mukerji is back in her action flick franchise, Mardaani 2. Written and directed by Gopi Puthran, this film is based in Kota, Rajasthan. Where a young boy bruitally raps a girl and then kills her. How IPS Shivani Roy solves the case to catch the bastard is what the film is about.

Mardaani brought the badest villian possible in new age cinema. This time too they are showcasing the bad man very badly. Newcomer, Vishal Jethwa has delivered a spledid performance. Everybody gonna hate him for sure. And that's where he wins!

Rani Mukerji is absolutely superb. She is giving one after another fab performances. I got goosebumps in the end when she was doing what has to be done at that moment. I was stunned by the vibes at the end of the film. Some viewers were clapping and that surely was sudden. Because this film has the perfect ending. After hearing so many news of rapes and murders, this type of end captures your soul from the left, right and centre.

Kudos to the team. To the writer and director, for such an engaging story. Though, I must write that this film could have been made extremely well. Few scenes could have added so much depth for sure. Also, This film is a must watch. For all Indians. Just like a little bit in first half could make it cult.

I like that background tune. It was fantastic. Loved all twists and turns throughout the run. You will never feel low at any moment. Breaking of fourth wall for the rapist character was something like never before. We were into that bad man's ill mind just because of that.

On the whole, Mardaani 2 is surely a must watch. It will play with your sensibility and mentality nicely. Wait for the vibrant end to catch you. And let's hope for the better change in the world.

Ayushman + Funny Dialogues make it watchable!
Ayushmann Khurrana is on the roll. He is giving back to back hits. He loves to do a different kind of role in each film. This time he has become Pooja, a dream girl to many people of his city. It is a fun ride for the audience.

Directed by Raaj Shaandilyaa, Dream Girl is about a boy who is stuck in the job of a call center where he has to attend calls from the people of his city and talk to them in the voice of a girl, named Pooja. People fall in love with this imaginary girl. And thus, this is becoming tough for the boy in his real life. How does he manage to escape from that is the story-line of the film.

If this film does not have Ayushmann, it would have become flop. But, when you have Khurrana, your eyes are glued on the screen. Also, there is Nushrat Barucha to catch your eyeballs time by time. But I guess she is wasted here. Manjot Singh as friend and Annu Kapoor as father are two strong pillars of this movie. Both have rocked it in the second half for sure. Loved their presence in the film very well. Others are good.

Music is poor. I don't know how these tunes got selected! None of them looks original to me. That romantic song reminds me of Dekhte Dekhte song from Batti Gul. Radhe Radhe is the only likable song. But its choreography is okayish.

I think the treatment of the story-line is similar to Vicky Donor. While watching the film, I had a doubt that making money from sperm donation was understandable, but how does he making so much money from a call center? I didn't get the threats by the owner of that center, too. Why. Bhaiya Why?

Dialogues are fantastic. The oxygen of the film. And I think the film will work on box office just because of its dialogues. They are superbly written. Loved all the one liners. Especially by Manjot and Annu. My most favourite scene is when Ayush and Manjot go to hospital and while they are shouting, one lady interrupts and tell them not to raise your voice, as her husband had ear surgery. 'Dhire boliye, Inke Kaan ka operation hua hai.' To which Manjot replies, 'Kya! Uncle ko Bawasir hua hai?' Hahaha..

On the whole, It was not that good. But I guess trailer said it all. Just go to enjoy the one liners. It will surely make you laugh. And Belated happy birthday to dream-boy Ayushmann Khurrana!

HR is proving again that he is a good actor!
Hrithik Roshan is back on screen after a long time. It is the biopic of Anand Kumar. HR is able to pull it of in Bihari accent. His chemistry with Mrunal Thakur is superb. Audience is loving her presence.
I love the face of between Aditya Shrivastav and Hrithik in so many scenes. It was like Kante ki takkar. Pankaj Tripathi plays his character well. Kids and others are supportive too.
Extraordinary use of VFX and Background music. It was lovely to here Udit Narayan's voice after a long time in a romantic track along with Shreya. Music is given by Ajay Atul, while Lyrics have been penned by Amitabh Battacharya. Basanti Song was good, too. Paisa song was the best one for me according to the story. It came on the right time. And the film got pace.
Best thing about this film is its film-making. It is simply fantastic. I think it is Vikas Behal's best directorial product. However, I felt confused in the climax, whether such type of incedents happened, or it was fictional. Story was good, but not the best. Screenplay lacks that passion. It was more of a melodrama. People watching non-Hindi and English films may not be able to attach with this film totally. But aam janta will love it.
I must say that, Anand Kumar surely had a tough life. Those threats, even till last year, on both Kumar brothers, are shocking. Education is not a business. People on top should understand this. Kudos to Anand Kumar and his supporters for opening Super 30 batch for poor but ambitious kids.
The hall was packed. People were clapping and cheering throughout the run. It was the last scene which got many of us. Along with Hrithik, many viewers had tears. That scene surely defines how good he is in acting. It will be a sure hit. Take your family and enjoy this film. Get inspired to learn something and give it back to the needful.

Ayushamnn n Anubhav will hit you hard!
Anubhav Sinha is back with this crime drama, starring Ayushmann Khurrana in the lead. June is going superb for Hindi Film Indutsry. Kabir Singh is still running houseful. Now, this has come.

Ayushmann is an IPS officer. He has been posted in a small village in UP. However, the next day itself, the police get two bodies of minor girls hanging on the tree. They were raped multiple times. The story gets its pace. And this crime drama continues with the subtext of casteism.

Anubhav Sinha has tried to cover as many incidents of Dalits and other backward class people as possible which happened in our country in last few years. The motto is just to aware people on how this things work. From whatsapp messages to arrangement of strikes and rallys, this is how we are dividing us into groups. Also, this is 2019, not just 19! Justice should prevail for everyone without considering his/her caste. And there comes the title, Article 15, which gives each Indian basic rights.

Ayushmann has given a splendid performances. He is too good for this role. Isha Talwar gives a needful support to him. Sayami Gupta shines in her effective role. Best of her was crying with Kumud Mishra in this film. Kumud Mishra is terrific. He has played this role like no one can. His slap scene is clap worthy. Manoj Pahwa again delivers wonderful performance. Mohd Zeeshan Ayyub has a special appearance. The time he comes in the story, the film picks up very high. Fantabulous performance by him.

Movie has no songs in it. Just a satire song at the starting. And a rap song at the end credits.

Dialogues are absolutely fantastic. 'Power ki alag hi jaat hoti hai!' Hard hitting one liners will blow your mind. Entire speech by Zeeshan Ayyub in the jeep is perfectly written. Audience were clapping on the last line of that dialogue by him. While my most favorite one has been spoken by Ayushmann to his officer, that 'Jab Aag Lagi Hui Ho Aur Aap Neutral Rahen, To Iska Matlab Hai Ki Aap Unn Logon Ke Side Hain Jo Aag Laga Rahe Hain!'

This is going to be a hit in Anubhav Sinha's kitty. While in first half, I was not sure whether this one is more good or that Mulk! But I got clear answer in second half. Film picks up very high. There is a greatest twist too. Public were stunned in that scene. Film is superbly written by Sinha and Gaurav Solanki.

There is scene of bodies of rape victims hanging on the tree, and a kid passes by. It gave me goosebumps. Another one is a man coming out of the gutter. One at the interval point, nd one at the last line of a long dialogue by Mohd Zeeshan. Also, it is not a serious film. This year's the most comic scene is in this one. Ayushmann discussing castes with his team.

Overall, Article 15 a is very much needful film in this time. It may not be linked with metro cities, but India is a nation of villages and small towns. Kudos to Anubhav Sinha and team for choosing this subject. Police were there in the theater for safety purpose. But there is nothing wrong in the film for any community or caste. This film will run with mouth publicity. So go and watch this entertaining crime drama. And ask yourself a question that Kaun Hain Aap! Bahujan, Harijan.. Ke Jan Gan Man me aate sirf Jan.

Shahid Kapoor is killing it!
Kabir Singh belongs to Shahid Kapoor & Sandeep Reddy Vanga. It is the remake of Arjun Reddy, by the same director-writer.

I never felt Arjun Reddy was a great movie. So, I did not go with high expectations. People are going crazy about this movie. But, I knew it will not be that great. Because of its run-time. In first half, there are some boring elements. You can sense them. Though, I didn't find anything dull in second half.

Shahid Kapoor is as usual great. This will not count as his best performance. But it will be remembered by many. Thus, many will go to watch this film only for SK. I have never saw these type of shouts in any Shahid Kapoor movie. Some will surely go for 2nd time. The love story represented here is absolutely raw. You can feel for the characters, Kabir and Preeti. This is the film for youngsters, especially collegians.

Kiara Advani is natural. But she got very few lines. People were laughing at 50th minuet, ki Aakhirkaar pehla dialogue boli. Kabir's friend, named Shiva is superb. Arjan Bajwa and Suresh Oberoi are good.

I heard each song first time Today. Bekhayali and Tujhe Kitna Chahte Rahe Hum are fab. To the point. Adding values to the story compeletely. Credit goes to lyricists Irshad Kamil and Mithoon. Others like Mere Sohneya and Kaise Hua are superb too. Will listen to all of them. In this film, I loved long takes. It is a good thing to involve viewers into your story. And there's always the suitable background music each time. And because of that only, you will get into this world only in first 5 minutes.

One problem is chopping. Because it was supposed to be 184min movie and they cut it down to 174, so some parts are missing. That's why you will get questions in your head about some happenings in the story. Also, disappointed with CBFC, because Gaalis have been muted.😢 Then why the hell is it an adult film!

On the whole, if you are a youngster, you will surely have a great time. It is a rare thing that, Couples from all over India will watch this film for sure. In fact, all single rebels will go for sure as well. It means this is going to huge hit in Shahid Kapoor's career. This is a good Bollywood Movie after a long time, so go for it. Just enjoy while watching, don't keep anything into your mind from the life of Kabir Singh.

Best of Sushant, Abhishek Chaubey, Ranvir & Bhumi!
What makes a film to be called as cult or classic? It stays with you after you watch it, stays in your memory till your memory lasts. Abhishek Chaubey is truly a craftsman. He evolves with every film. He makes a film which would be better than his previous films. After an awesome Udta Punjab, he is back to show us dacoits of Chambal.

Having a tremendous cast, the film is absolutely must watch in theaters. What you like is not Cinema, if you want to know the real kind of entertaining and engaging film of 146min, then you should see Sonchiriya. It deals with so many subjects which will blow your heart. Super engaging and full of twists, this film is the best film till now. Also, Sushant Singh Rajput's best film as a performer is this one. You will be with him from start to end. Whatever ideas you may get about climax, this character will stay with you in a positive way. That's why I loved the film to the moon and back.

Bhumi Pednekar is doing great job as an actor in industry. She is fantastic. You will surely feel for her and the little girl with her. Best part of the film according to me is when these are going on boat and title song starts in the divine voice of Rekha Bhardwaj. Followed by the act on which the story of this film is based on, my heart was in my mouth. That was the moment for what I would like to give this film full marks.

Manoj Bajpayee is truly an artist. Mansingh played by him, has so many layers, so much depth, it's upto you how far you can go and take back something which will be useful in life. Ranvir Shorey is doing absolutely fantastic work. The breakdown scene of him is fabulous. The Gujjar Policeman, played by Ashutosh Rana, is class act. Other characters are awesome as well. Casting director deserves his credit for the wonderful cast. Each and every one taches us something. Go and grab it.

Action sequences are damn cool. Good mixutre of slow motion and closeups. I felt the camera was shacky in the beginning. But then it becomes the most engaging tool for us. The haunting scene of a girl for Manoj and Sushant's character are shown very effectively. I too got stumped each time. Also in the night as well.

To do or not to do, that is the question! When Sushant is looking into our eyes. We as an audience is fully connected with him. Can dacoits be good men? What is right and what is wrong! Kudos to Abhishek Chaubey and Sudeep Sharma, for setting a new high for dacoit story. That too without showing how and why they become dacoits, but what do they do being dacoit. Hugely impressed with Bundelkhandi dialogues. All are understandable, if not there are Engliah subtitles as well. Usage of cuss words are pitch perfect, we never heard them speaking intentionally or trying to make fun out of cuss words.

Sonchiriya is having out of the world scenes. Like Sushant riding a camel. Uff the background music is so much soulful. Film has been made superbly that you will not get any idea when your eyes will be getting wet. This is the pure magic of cinema.

As I mentioned above, Sonchiriya title track is pure lit. Vishal Bhardwaj has done great job. Varun Grover has penned lyrics. Sukhvinder Singh's voice will roar in Chambal. This the best album to look out for. Haunting and effectively disturbing.

Book your seats to watch Abhishek Chaubey's best film till date. Support good cinema, it will help you to grow in your life. Curse on your head is the most dangerous thing in the world. And life cycle does not stop for anyone. Everyone wants the golden bird, so be quick to ask for it at ticket window. You will feel proud about the power of a film. And that too our Indian film.

Undoubtedly, The Best. That is why, going for an another time as well.

Ranveer's Rocking Hip-Hop!
Ranveer Singh is known as the most energetic person. He had done a smooth and simple role in Zoya Akhtar's Dil Dhadakne Do. Both were superb there. That made me to watch this film, on first day of its release. Plus, I wanted to see what is the true Indian Hip-Hop.

Yes, true Indian Hip-Hop, which we are not aware of! Rapping means rhythmic poetry. I don't like rap music, also never heard much. But when we hear the meaningful words, the talking of rappers on the beat, true meaning of Hip-Hop music rises while watching the film. The film is about dreams. One could not easily accept the given circumstances by his ancestors. He must try to be there in what he likes, what's his passion. That will lead him to success. And when he has a certain talent, why... why not to use it!

Zoya Akhat has successfully shown Dharavi on celluloid. The 'Meri Gully Mein' song speaks a lot! It's beautifully shot as well. When you have Vijay Raaz, Vijay Verma, Vijay Maurya, Sheeba Chaddha, Kalki Koechlin & Amruta Subhash, you can give a solid backdrop like she has given in this one. Superb support from all. That girl who fights with Alia's character is also superb in one scene.

Siddhant Chaturvedi is being introduced here as MC Sher with a bang. He is too good. Even I would say that the local train and the late night roads of Mumbai also play significant parts. They catch us to dwell with Murad and other characters.

Ranveer Singh is absolutey fantastic. I loved him in DDD. And I am surprised that after Padmavat and Simmba, he still can do this type of role! He is indeed a good actor. Because, I tried very hard to find him in this film, but everytime I found the character- Murad only! Meanwhile, Alia Bhatt is giving her over the top role of her career, which was played by her finely. Audiences are loveing her and her style of doing things unexpectedly. Love her doing rough action in this film!

The soul of the film- Rap and Dialogues. Vijay Maurya has written dialogues. 'Zindagi Me Jo Kuchh Achchha Mile To Use Chuchaap Le Lene Ka!' I loved this line, and wanted to say this to all. This film is a nice work of cinema. Accept it without making any fuss.

Songs are created by various artists. You will be surprised to see Javed Akhtar's name in lyrics' credit. Because of his touch, the songs are absolutely fantastic. Also, like in ZNMD, he has written some poems as well for Murad. Loved that Mod Waali poetry. Doorie song starts like a strike in the heart. And Apna Time Aayega in the end makes the journey a worthy watch.

Based on the street rappers Divine and Naezy, this film talks about a lot of issues. It can be hard for those you are not youngsters. Celebrate the hip hop of India in theaters near you.

Kangana is doing all the great work. Not her career best performance! But she acts superb.
Ankita Lokhande, Danny, Kulbhushan Kharbanda, Suresh Oberoi and others are perfect. But I felt that their screen presence were less. Md Zeeshan Ayyub is choosing wrong roles, he must have to realize now.
Disappointed with not so extraordinary dialogues. I have huge expectations from Prasoon Joshi. Also, Vijayendra Prasad has not given up to the mark. Music by Shankar Ehsan Loy is average.
Film stands only on Kangana and Bharat song by Shankar Mahadevan. Apart from these two things, nothing great or even good. VFX is average, too. At last, you can watch it one time, be it in theater or on amazon prime.
