Dhamaka movie review


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.

G20 movie review

Image
There are these set of Hollywood movies that are jingoistic in nature. They show a situation where a set of people from around the world are either captured or attacked by aliens or terrorist groups, and how the protagonist from America saves the day. Independence Day and its poorly made sequel , Air Force One , White House Down , Olympus Has Fallen , London Has Fallen are the movies that come to mind when talking about jingoistic movies where America saves the day. G20 is another movie of this formula. The heads of the G20 are captured by a villain whose intentions are unclear and are all over the place, and Viola Davis, who plays a black American woman president saves the day. Add to this the fact that there is a lot of focus on diversity where women are shown to be much stronger and smarter than the men, the white British Prime Minister is shown as a caricature of a combination of Donald Trump and Boris Johnson, a Latino guy, a black man, and a black woman are shown to be the mai...

Troll movie review

Image
  I am a big fan of monster movies. It started with Jurassic Park , continued with The Mummy , the King Kong movies, Transformers series, Godzilla series, etc. If there is a large creature in a movie, I will watch it. Netflix captured my interest by showing me the thumbnail of this movie named Troll , and I decided to watch it. The movie starts like every film or TV series about a monster, with unexplained phenomena happening, and people speculating it to be something else, only for the monster to emerge and reveal itself to the world. The Norwegian government tries to cover up the existence of the monster for as long as possible, fails spectacularly, and it boils down to a ragtag bunch of humans who kill it eventually. Like many monster movies, the creature in this movie is trying to mind its own business, but inadvertently causes destruction to property. This results in the movie showcasing the worst behaviour among humans, where the first reaction to seeing something new is...

Judwaa 2 - movie review

The original Judwaa  is considered to be a classic. It is a movie that I had not watched, since I had watched the original Telugu movie it was based on. The Nagarjuna starrer was a cult classic and huge hit back then. The movie was entertaining, funny, had good acting, great music, and was very well paced. The movie however has some tropes in it that were somehow considered to be acceptable back then, but are considered to be problematic in the current environment.  When I began to watch Judwaa 2, it became obvious in the first scene itself that although the movie was made to sound as a sequel, it was the exact same remake of the 1997 movie starring Salman Khan. Although remakes are fine, the movie does not even attempt to modernize the tropes in the older movie. It is still somehow appropriate to show the protagonist as having an issue where his hand starts to uncontrollably shake at the sight of a lady's backside, and it is considered to not be a problem when he proceeds to...
