  This movie is a complete mess, a mess so bad that it seems like it was made in two parts. The first part seems to have been directed by some dude who wanted to show the protagonist as Arjun Reddy on steroids. Think of every terrible thing a man can do, cutting off the head of his father to prevent him from being recognized and the trail leading to the capture of their gang, drinking donkey blood as they believe that it will give them amazing stamina and speed to get away from cops, kicking ladies in the stomach, getting aroused by every woman he sees and wanting to bed them, and then letting go of them after the act, to the extent of him being asked by a woman about why he does not come around to her establishment, and he says, "I do not like eating again that I have already tasted". After about half the movie was shot, the dude whose responsibility was to direct the second half looked at what the dude in the first half did, scratched his head at the mess that was created,

  The last time I watched bad acting in a movie was in Spy . That movie was a car crash with no forgettable action, terrible actors, poor direction and screenplay, terrible direction, and an awful story. Yudham Sharanam had a couple of things going for it though. Some of the supporting cast are some of the best in the industry, and the story had potential. Those are the only good things about the movie. Everything else was poor. While the main story began well and had some intrigue and suspense, more focus was put into the story of the family and the unnecessary love story between the leads  This gave very little time to tie in the flow of the story, and the eventual reveal of the suspense falls flat. The biggest reason why the movie does not do well is because of the male protagonist's inability to act. Everything from his expressions to his dialogue delivery, dancing in songs, and inability to do good fight sequences seems to have lead the movie makers to put more effort into co

  It was a confusing movie where the story did not make any sense. The primary reason was that there was just too much that was happening and none of it added up well. It was as if the script was written on the fly as the movie was being shot. The first 5 minutes of the movie where a high court judge goes into hiding and the story of the protagonist is told has absolutely nothing in relation to the other parts of the story. Was it a story of revenge where the protagonist seeks the head of the villain who had decimated his village? Or was it a story of women empowerment where the protagonist intends to empower a young girl into realizing her potential? If the revenge story was the mail plot, it was a standard revenge plot with some unnecessary women empowerment thrown in at the end. If it was the latter, it was painful to watch. As with most movies that talk about mental issues, Sreeleela's character has a random mental sickness that begins after the sudden passing of her father, an

Utter waste of time this movie is. There are no redeeming qualities in it. The story is stupid, the songs are unmemorable, the performances are nothing to write home about. It is a complete waste of time.

This movie is about the events leading up to a dark time for RAW, the Indian intelligence agency which had established a strong and credible network of agents and spies in Pakistan, which was able to gain sufficient evidence about Pakistan's attempts to make a nuclear weapon in the late 1970s, only for it to come crashing down as the then prime minister Morarji Desai informed Zia ul Haq about how the nation's spies had credible information about Pakistan's nuclear programme. This lead to a complete crack down of Indian agents and spies in Pakistan, an event that took the Indian agencies decades to get over. Siddharth Malhotra plays the role of one of the spies in Pakistan who is tasked with finding out the location of Pakistan's nuclear programme. He has a backstory where he is the son of an ex Indian officer who killed himself as he had committed treason. This angle is never explored nor explained in the movie, and the only significance it has is when the protagonist w

  Netflix had been suggesting me  to watch this movie  that had an ensemble cast of top actors like Daniel Craig, Chris Evans, Ana de Armas, etc.,  for a while, and it was the release of the second movie that my sister had already watched that triggered me into watching it. It is a classic "whodunit murder" kind of movie, and although the murderer is seemingly revealed at the beginning, the characters slowly reveal interactions with the victim that makes all of them appear as suspects. A surprise twist at the end and an effort put into ensuring that the story is water tight makes for a goo watch.
