Chor Nikal Ke Bhaga (2023)

Decent suspense and drama.

[7/10 · 26 March 2023]

A suspense drama with a decent story line. Yami and sunny has done a decent job though out the movie. Until a little more than halfway down of the movie and you are still unaware about the real story. But once you get an idea of what is happening, there is nothing further to look out. Suspense once folded, the movie was too simple to watch. Good thing was it wasn't too long of a movie, so it did not become boring. Could have been little more interesting if there was a further drama added about how Yami in details tries to avoid the government and sunny from tracking down or something else. It was too hard to believe, that she easily avoided everything afterwards. Overall one time watch.

Khakee: The Bihar Chapter (2022– )

Masterclass

[9/10 · 1 January 2023]

A series with least amount of bad abusive words, no vulgar scenes. All it shows is pure class of acting, great dialogue delivery, superb and excellent plot.

A series based on a book which has been picturized so nicely that you'll be glued to the screen until you are over with it, superb acting of Avinash is a treat to watch.

Karan and Nikita has done equally great job, Ashutosh Rana has been comically great to watch.

The whole story is about the small driver, criminal who carved his way to be one of the biggest criminal of Bihar and how the police also had to struggle to get a hold of him, until the last episode police and Chandan mahto's car race has been effective and very entertaining. Overall, clearly a great one from Neeraj pandey and Netflix.

Dhokha (2022)

Could have been way better.

[4/10 · 5 December 2022]

Brilliant madhvan and amazing Aparshakti also couldn't save the film because of the way weak story. All it does is jumping from here to there but going no where. By the half way down you would realize that madhvan and psychiatrist is having an affair. But there are way too many flaws and lack that you almost wish that movie ends soon. Only one thing that was surprising was an involvement of the police inspector with the actress. Khushali the actress's acting was very dull and lacking any emotions. The movie was also way slow and dragged down for a subject like this where it becomes almost boring by halfway through.

Brahmastra Part One: Shiva (2022)

Good theme with average acting of lead.

[7/10 · 16 September 2022]

I personally am a fan of historical themes which is why I really liked the plot of the film, which is based on mythological magic. Part 1 includes good action and visuals equally well supported by skills of Big B and Mouni Roy, and ok acting of Ranbir. Alia seems a forceful fit to the cast with no significant importance. Movie begin with a simple normal love story which takes turns with unknown power of RK . Movie does end on high note of defeat of bad with rise of love and evolving the dev which will make you see the second part, only if comes in a shorter time frame. Overall a good one if you are a fan of mythological theme, good VFX.

Naadi Dosh (2022)

Could have been much better

[4/10 · 19 August 2022]

Theme is excellent, real issue of janmakshar which many may face and how some superstitions may spoile the situation. Execution could have been way better. The theme was like in play for hardly 10 minutes rest all the time as if we are watching the almost an average chemistry of actor and actress. Some scenes will fill you blush and laugh a bit but overall not so great.

Operation Romeo (2022)

Thriller with wasted end. Rating goes for performance and climax.

[4/10 · 19 July 2022]

Shortly explained, boy and girl felt in love, tried a night out, gets involved in wrong people allegedly called them cops, money involved, girl asks boy if he could be a man, boy felt it takes a revenge in slow motion. And then girl felt happy, boy proposed girl, girl shows middle finger, movie ends. .... Million dollar question, even important than why kattappa killed Bahubali, why in the hell did girl shows middle finger and how could you end a movie on that note.

Shiddat (2021)

Unrealistic Shiddat.

[6/10 · 12 October 2021]

A movie of a love relationship between kartika and Jaggi where it's been portrayed that jaggi tries to pass various national borders in order to meet his love of life. But the story seems very much non practical and unreasonable. It's missing lots of facts bases. It's shown in the movie about jaggi who had a hook up with kartika played by Radhika and then he falls in love with her. At the same time, kartika behaves practical and just in order to get out of the situation she tells him to come to London and then she won't get married to someone else. And thats where the story begins of chasing her down. Mohit Raina and Diana's love relationship is shown as a support of the story and Mohit tries to be a god father of Jaggi to help him meet his dream girl. It's a cute love story with some illogical script writing. One time watch. End will make you sad a bit, most of the time through out the movie, you won't be bored either but you won't be able to watch again either.

Shu Thayu (2018)

No fun. Strictly avoidable.

[2/10 · 5 September 2021]

No way near the first movie of these actors. First movie had its own set of story, great dialogue and great acting.

Where as this one was totally non sense with no story at all.

Vitthal Teedi (2021– )

Good, could have been much better.

[7/10 · 1 June 2021]

Great beginning, average progress, too fast at the end. The series starts and is based on Pratik Gandhi, his childhood and younger days where he is shown as a daddy's boy, who falls into the lap of poker for survival of his family. The chemistry between Pratik and his father is very amiable. Vitthal's character is greatly acted by Pratik Gandhi. He becomes a poker player, initially at village level and then starts going to next village to earn money and survival of his family. Some of the dialogue in the series are top notch. At the end, everything goes too fast where he has to go and play poker again, and has to win, for the sake of his sister's husband. It kind of lost the track at the later progression of series which otherwise would have been a great.

Naam Shabana (2017)

Too slow

[5/10 · 18 May 2021]

The movie is based on Tapsee Pannu fighting for taking revenge on her boyfriend's murderer. That's ok. But the way she was given a chance to do so was totally hypothetical and unrealistic. I mean it's shown as she is being tracked by one of the national spy agency for almost 2 years or some in order to prepare her for this duty. And then she is given everything she wants for killing so that she can take revenge. And the worst part is that almost the whole movie is based on this only. I mean almost 2 hrs with just this plot. That to, too slow and dumb execution. Found it too boring too finish.

Honest Thief (2020)

Good.

[6/10 · 14 April 2021]

Not the best of liam but not that bad either. I mean it's all about a thief who wants to turn him self in but gets counter act by corrupt cops and that's where the fight becomes brutal. Then it's not about robbery, it's about the honest thief vs the corrupt cop. May the best man win.

Suits (2011–2019)

Love laugh and live.

[9/10 · 13 April 2021]

What to say about it. Season 1 starts with high notes of Harvey and Mike getting to know each other and Mike gets hired at the firm. The season starts with a simple concepts of the lawyers doing their jobs and helping their clients what they need. Then the roller coaster ride starts with the subsequent seasons where Harvey and Mike comes together and kill it. You also have some beautiful characters like Rachel, Jessica, Donna, Louis, Katrina, robert, Paula and who else not. They all have put their heart in the stories to become so beautiful. Halfway season from 5 it takes a beautiful turn of getting emotions being blended really well by the writers. After that, it's all about their personal lives being driven with series of emotions until it comes to a beautiful end of Harvey getting finally married.

The story has everything one need, fun, love, comedy, seriousness, thril, drama and what not.

Not only the writers have done a mind blowing job writing this beautiful legacy, the actors have killed it by putting their heart and soul into it. Like they say, Butch and sundance are back, so as batman and robin is. But they also brought their army as well and they just nailed it.

The Big Bull (2021)

Far away from being good.

[3/10 · 9 April 2021]

The main loss of this movie is scam 1992, which had come out before this one. Scam 1992 was so detailed and realistic, if you have watched 1992 then you will fill that big bull is likely to be on same road with 5x speed and missing all important detailes which should have been a part of the movie. One thing for sure, 1992 vs big bull is never in picture bcz one is 10 hours detailed original and the other is 2 hours highlights.... Disappointed.

Bombay Begums (2021– )

A good beginning wasted.

[3/10 · 13 March 2021]

The series starts on high note on a bank, it's women lead, corporate juggle, internal issues and almost project about how she would suffer and prove her self. So all in one it kind of have an idea that it will be all about a women's struggle cum her way of empowerment. But after 2 episodes, god knows what happened. It was just sex, extra matrital sex, and some useless topics being thrown to elongate the story. Half the series got nothing but crap scenes of extra matrital affairs with tits and bits of women's struggle. I don't know what happened to writers who after a good start that brought to a pathetic and horrible story. Netflix, you were way better than that

706 (2019)

Predictable.

[5/10 · 8 March 2021]

The movie is about the boy and bad soul that has got into his body. Initially when the secret wasn't reveled , it was interesting but late it became so boring. Good acting at least.

The Girl on the Train (2021)

Dumb story

[2/10 · 8 March 2021]

Waste of time. So many foolish things that made the plot so terrible. Why parineeti was traveling via train every day when she was not working. The train was so slow that she could every day see aditi from the train and what's she doing and whom is she meeting. So many loopholes in the story that made me think that why did I choose this movie to see even.

The Family Man (2019– )

Good one.

[8/10 · 26 January 2021]

The series is all about one man and his team fighting constantly for the country. Manoj Vajpeyee has been picturised as a senior intelligence officer, who also struggles to maintain good balance with his family due to the nature of the work that he is into. The terrorist plans to destroy Delhi with nerve gas attack and the team of Manoj tries to put all the pieces together to stop this attack. Some of the cast have done excellent jobz including Manoj himself. Waiting for season 2 to see how it all takes place.

Befikre (2016)

Aimless.

[2/10 · 26 January 2021]

The movie has no clear vision. I mean almost more than half movie is shown like a joke with no aim of where it's going. Just a time pass.

Criminal Justice (2019– )

Seasom 1, Ending could have been better.

[7/10 · 15 January 2021]

An awesome interpretation of how theedia trials and court trials fail to save the innocent person. The whole story is based on the dark side of Aditya which nobody wanted to listen and how he was immediately considered as guilty for rape and murder. The story had two parts within of which one is all about the court trials and whatever Aditya and his family goes through, and the other part is all about survival in the jail after he was convicted guilty. I was surprised to see the jail part of the story given so much of importance which never was greatly impressive any how to me. The best part of the story was Pankaj Mishra, his acting skills are incredible. Some of his lines and expression are gem of the story, I must say. Overall the story is all about Aditya's the journey where in the ending suspense pops out about what actually happened with the girl, which is where I think, the direction and story line could have been better. It all happened so quickly in the last episode and no facts or proofs were really shown, it was all about guessing in the dark room which wasn't convincing enough and was really disappointed about how it ended after a great start of the series.. Overall could have been much better on the ending.

Chhalaang (2020)

Predictable but not bad.

[5/10 · 9 December 2020]

The story revolves around two concepts. One a love story and other is about proving your self. Rajkumar Rao is shown as careless person who was living his life with no aim or point falls in love with Nusrat. The love story takes further Where Rajkumar has to prove him self against the school he is working. It's funny somewhere but otherwise predictable. Though if you are watching for first time, it won't bore you either. Overall it's ok ok.

Ludo (2020)

Good attempt waste through down at the end.

[6/10 · 23 November 2020]

The movie is about four different stories that comes across each other at a given point of time just like the game Ludo. But here is the thing, all the stories as an individual had a point in it but they were brought together with each other with too many co incidents. I mean some times you feel like it's forcefully asked to cut each other's path which makes the plot boring and unreasonable. At certain places, it does make you laugh but you would know what happens next as the storyline progress which is where it becomes almost unbearable. It's not as great as I thought it would be after looking at some reviews. Not for me at least.

Scam 1992: The Harshad Mehta Story (2020)

Surprisingly superb.

[10/10 · 12 October 2020]

It will change the whole idea of the 1992 scamz if this story has been plotted as honestly as it's shown. Though whatever happened was not right, harshad was made victim to save every other persons and loophole involved. Though the thinking was wrong, the approach to him was bias and harsh as he was the only responsible person for everything, which isn't the case as visible from the story atleast. The cast has been simply outstanding, Pratik, Shreya, Rajat , and every other person was beyond fabulous. It's so great to see such a story but would have been even more successful if had been on a better stage like Netflix or prime which is in almost every other home. If you are someone who likes to see the real drama behind the story, who believes in true story, dare not to miss this.

Bad Boy Billionaires: India (2020– )

Kick-Ass show

[8/10 · 6 October 2020]

The only idea behind this show is to expose the so-called billionaires who looted the public money and how easily they could get away with it. Starts with the flamboyant Vijay Malia who shook the whole economic industry with his scam followed by the others belonging to the same club. The real fun to watch in this episodes are the speakers of the show like Siddharth Malya, Shobha de and many more in the following episodes. They share their views about what happened was it right was it wrong and what they actually think about it.

Netflix has tried to be as real as it can be and I guess has done a fantastic job of pulling up this all together. It does really take the guts to plot something like that on such a realistic way on a platform like Netflix because almost everybody's going to watch and will have an idea about how the things went what went wrong and who was the real cheater or the bad boy and how could they get away with it and doesn't regret it either. It's such a shame to have something like that. But the show is really good to see for somebody who likes to have an idea about all this. Great work Netflix.

Asur: Welcome to Your Dark Side (2020– )

Dark and full of suspense.

[8/10 · 6 October 2020]

The story is about a kid who is a born genius but wasn't treated in a right way which led his path to become a psychopath killer. All he cared for was to give a message to society and establish his thoughts all over the society.

Arshad Warsi, a CBI forensic expert crosses this psychopath's way and tried to stop him but he gets failed at each stage. How the killer plot all the murder and has an upper hand is a real fun to watch and will keep you glued to screen.

All the cast has been excellent and had done justice to their roles but the negative psychopath is the real show stealer. The story takes it to a timeframe where arshad has to put everything to stop him and yet somehow gets defeat which I think is where chapter 2 will be coming.

Hostages (2019– )

Good plot ruined by too much complexity.

[7/10 · 2 October 2020]

Season 1 starts with a simple plot where the motive is to kill the chief Minister. The doctor has been forced to do that and the season goes well with no idea of the motive behind why the killing is being taken place, that's where it takes to season 2. The real plot gets reveled at the season 2 where the motive was not only the revenge but to save his wife. The whole plot goes around Ronit who of course has done a great job, equally well supported by Tisca in first season and other actors in second season. The only problem with season 2 is too much complexity and too many characters which creates a bit of bad cocktail. You didn't need that many faces to take the story further according to me. Overall a good plot gets a bit ruined by that many faces. Ending could have been better by not killing Ronit but by showing how everything gets resolved and all.
