🥳💥🥳💥🥳💥🥳💥

ThreeWordReview SUPERHIT CLASS ENTERTAINER

🍾🥂🍾🥂🍾🥂🍾🥂

AkshayKumar is outstanding in this biopic about a common man’s courage and bravery to do extraordinary things.

MissionRaniganj is a civilised film.✍

Triumph of human spirit by finding a solution via engineering and not via ROPE trickery VFX.👨‍💻

Best part about Tinu Desai’s direction is the way he builds the characters for the human drama to unfold.

Hats off to casting director for getting the biggest and most talented actors who suits their character like hands in gloves.

Entire ensemble have given memorable performances.

The background score is high on adrenaline. The song ‘Jeetega’ gives instant goosebumps. Editing is super sharp.

Last 30 minutes is OUTSTANDING and AkshayKumar gives a performance which will fetch him AWARDS.

This film is pure heart and mind.

MUST WATCH.

AMONG the BEST AKSHAY KUMAR film.

Jailer Review ⭐⭐⭐

Three Word Review – Excellent in Patches

Jailer has 3 brilliant sequences of 10-15 min each. Apart from this 45 min of brilliance rest is pakaaoo.

But first hats off to Rajni sir. What a performer!!

Now back to review – Those 45 min of extraordinary brilliance are

1. Young #Rajinikanth in Jailer scene- Aag laga diya Rajini sir ne. Out of the world cinematic experience with terrific BGM by @anirudhofficial

2. Home attack with family at dining table – This is genius sequence by the script writer and Director #Nelson. The entire action scene gives you goosebumps. Amazingly shot with terrific BGM.

3. Effective use of cameos by #JackyShroff, #Shivarajkumar
And #Mohanlal. This lifts the experience of watching an action film.

Vinayakan is extraordinary as villain. He is set to corner all awards.

The entire Blast Mohan track is a failure and brings a halt to what would have been a superb film. The agonising 30 min of climax focussed on the stupidity of characters is a complete let down.

One time watch

Movies i watched recently –

Runway – ⭐⭐⭐ on OTT
AjayDevgn is in his usual serious khadoos look which he excels in.
AmitabhBachchan gives a towering performance but goes overboard at times.
Runway is a good television watch. Doesn’t need a theatrical watch as it is primarily shot at 2 places – cockpit and court. Not sure why it released in cinemas.

RakshaBandhan Review – ⭐⭐ on OTT
Emotional yet outdated concept
At best an OTT watch with family which has heart felt moments in first and gripping drama in second half soaked with emotions.
AkshayKumar is good but overall movie disappoints.

Freddy- ⭐⭐⭐ 3/5 on OTT
Freddy is a thriller about deceipt and revenge in relationship.
Message- Dont fake love and mess with lovers.
Kartik does a fab job. He carries the film
Alaya nails it in her role
Story is slow paced and predictable
Good OTT watch.

Ram Setu ⭐⭐⭐ on OTT
Akshay Kumar has given a decent performance and Satyaraj is superb. Reference to history is intelligently captured with facts. One will feel proud to know about our glorious past.Climax revealation gives Goosebumps.
However, actresses have irritating roles. Film lacks good VFX at crucial scenes. Direction is inconsistent.

Drishyam2 ⭐⭐⭐1/2 in theatres
Drishyam is India’s best thriller with amazingly smart screenplay. So had to watch it in theatres.
Akshaye Khanna delivers a great performance.
Ajay Devgn is same.
I loved the family, husband, wife and two daughters.
Tabu was wasted. She has no role except of showing one expression throughout.
I had seen the Malayalam version and it did rob of thrilling moments. Wish i had not seen the original.
Is it better than original? No.
This could have been seen on OTT as there are very few cinematic moments. The one that stands out is the scene when Akshaye visits the family. It was shot to be seen at theatres.
