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...
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...
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...
