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.

The Ghost movie review

Image
One look at the poster of the Akkineni Nagarjuna starrer, The Ghost, where a group of people clad in suits seem to be begging for forgiveness in front of the protagonist, whose stature seems as tall as Big Ben which is in the background, seems to suggest that it is a movie about an ex special ops guy who seems to be on a vengeful mission. It was released the same day as the Chiranjeevi and Salman Khan starrer, Godfather, but disappeared from theaters like the name of the movie. The main issue with the movie is that there is no consistency or single theme that the movie wanted to explore. Nagarjuna plays the role of an Interpol field agent in Dubai, who has anger management issues because of mental trauma that he suffered as a child. Following a botched rescue mission, he resigns from his job, breaks up with his fellow agent, who also happens to be his girlfriend, and apparently decides to wipe out the underworld from Dubai as a free agent. The viewer also finds out that the protagoni...

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...

Godfather (2022 movie) review

Image
I am a lifelong fan of Chiranjeevi's movies. The fandom started in the early 90s with the movie Gang Leader , and continued till the mid 2000s. I started to watch movies from other languages and industries at that point of time, and Chiranjeevi's increased push into the world of politics made me lose interest in his movies. All that changed when his 150th movie, Khaidi number 150 was released. I watched it on the day it released. The movie was uninspiring though, with the actor reprising some of his tropes that took him to the top, which felt jaded and out of place in a newer context and generation. The worst part of the movie was the character of Kajal Aggarwal , who was in the movie to only be the love interest of Chiranjeevi , despite being half his age,  and dance next to him. His next movies,  Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy  and Acharya  had a better approaches and did not portray any love interest of Chiranjeevi, but the overall tone of the characters where they...
