Shivaay’s Viewings (Updated)

Ranneeti :
A thrilling and taut, well researched series on the events of Balakot & beyond. Finally a show that does not make the enemy seem like a bunch of buffoons and recognises them for the treacherous leech that they are. The CGI used for the air combat dogfights is passable but its the cat & mouse game of media narratives that keeps the viewer hooked on to each episode, assisted by an amicable cast of Jimmy Shergill, Ashish Vidyarthi, Ashutosh Rana, Lara Dutta and co. A few sequences of incoherence do slow the pace down however.

Krish’s Viewings

After Premalu, Manjummel Boys is another Malayalam Movie where superb writing towers over a simple story. This one is a survival thriller as much as it is a movie about friends and friendship. Based on a real life incident which happened in Guna caves in 2006, the movie uses the backdrop of Guna caves and the surrounding Kodaikanal and creates some beautiful imagery with some superb cinematography.

Manjummel Boys:

terrific survival thriller with stunning cinematography and great background music: creepy and tense. Have always found survival thrillers to be a tricky genre which can easily fall into the trap of predictability and repetitiveness.

Watched Chamkila last night.

Hard to express in words but what a wonderful film.

Imtiyaz direction and flow of the film is fantastic from first frame to the last.

Akshay Kumar – shooting mess!

Akshay Kumar – shooting mess! by Master

Firstly, Akshay, and to a lesser extent Salman, were the only stars you could have signed a movie with just for the paycheck allure. All the other stars eventually started looking for scripts and the folks they make movies with. As everyone became selective and hard to get, Akshay utilized that completely and was available for any businessman turned producer waiting to make a movie. They could only get Akshay, as no other top star would ever do a movie just for the money. Akshay does so many movies, he has no qualms about script, director, or even leading lady. He doesn’t mind if the director is incapable or the leading lady is some art house heroine like Nimrat Kaur (Airlift) or Huma Qureshi (Jolly LLB2) or Radhika Apte (Padman) or even Mouni Roy (Gold). Akshay is worried about his role and paycheck. Yes, he will hear the script, but it’s more about projects, and he’s fine to do the movie as it’s less risky if doing multiple movies and if they are working according to his schedules.

tonymontana on Amar Singh Chamkila

An in-form Imtiaz Ali shuts up his detractors by making an artist’s delight. Amar Singh Chamkila is a musical biopic propelled by songs lewd, titillating, provocative, political, and all-round brilliant.

The film simply cannot be reviewed without bringing its music into discussion. There are no two ways about it—the talent Imtiaz Ali has for song picturisation and using the screen to evoke the intended emotion is rare among today’s filmmakers.
Every Rahman original in the film hits the bulls eye, and its incredible how this director-music director collaboration continues to dazzle listeners with every subsequent film (Rockstar and Tamasha being earlier musical wonders).

Master on Bollywood box office rut and stardoms

Folks easily missing the point with Akshay Kumar. Yes, most of them struggling but there’s a huge difference. Salman Khan has 2 releases and even with lazy 10 yr remake and hideous promotions and with a horrible director, Kisi ka Bhai, Kisi ji Jaan did over 26+ cr on Eid and Tiger 3 did over 42 crs on Diwali. That’s what the stars can do and if the content is bad, it’ll flop and that’s fine as long as you have pull.
