Raag Desh (Movie Rating:6.0/10)

Raag Desh (Movie Rating:6.0/10)

Technically apt & correct in the depiction of a military court martial,with allowances for a commercial movie. Period movie 🎥 with Army vehicles of number plates of 1940 were impressive in maintaining detail. 

Kunal Kapoor and Co did a swell job. Kudos. 

The political-ese flowing out from the story is the coup... It's Congress vs Alkali vs Muslim League vying for ascendancy in public view, readying for post independence hasty pudding 🍰 

Subhash C Bose has finally been acknowledged

So what's the catch... 

It's the timing of release... a counter to Indu Sarkar. One's a pro Congress movie and the others a pro BJP movie... Quid pro quo... 

Cinematography is good at places, flaccid at others. A genuine tribute to Laxmi Sehgal in the story is worth acknowledging. And yes, it's a serious movie. If you're not,it's not your cuppa...

Mubarakan (Movie Rating:7.5/10)

Entertainment dense food for movie 🎥 lovers. This laugh riot is the classic comedy of errors, unfolding a hilarious one after another. Anees Bazmi masters making you laugh and cry simultaneously with aplomb. 

Ileana is simply too gorgeous and with her cute shenanigans is loveable. Athiya Shetty has a small role, she'll emerge eventually, the dad like strong jawline hinders her stardom. It's Neha Sharma, who looks and emotes extra cute.. 

Arjun in double role does a superb performance... Kudos. Pavan Malhotra and Ratna Pathak are absolutely masters of their character. 

The supremo is still Anil Kapoor... is unsurpassable in his performances... It's a treat to watch him. 

Songs are faar too much Punjaabi for pan india acceptance and average score. 

The strength of the movie is in its pure unadulterated entertainment.. 

Jagga Jasoos (Movie Rating: 3.5 /10)

Jagga Jasoos (Movie Rating: 3.5/10)

Torture lasting 161 minutes and your first question.. Has Anurag Basu lost it?  The saga of a stammering-stuttering face painted overgrown school boy set out to search for his foster father. Wrapped about the Purulia arms drop case and set in Urban Ukhrul, the narrative style story telling weaves a plot full of boredom. 

Katrina is cute and bares legs throughout. That she attracts bad luck akin to Ranbirs foster father is the Leitmotif... 

Everything in the movie 🎥 is below mediocre. Dialogues from RK are like mumm....ttttt....kkkk and irritating at best.  Katrina entertains...Nothing else in there. The theatre public comments speak volumes about the disaster this movie is 

Spiderman(Movie Rating: 6.0/10)

Spiderman : Homecoming (Movie Rating: 6.0/10)

Tom Holland as Spidey.... Is arm candy 🍬... Expect no more from this tumbling through.. bumbling through saga of what is not Spiderman. Nothing is convincing in the Spidey act. 

Marisa Tomie is brilliant as usual. So is JrRobert Downey as Ironman charming.  Michael Keaton, is hard, masterful and spot on as the antagonist. 

The stunts are good, though become uninteresting as time goes by. And the politically correct story with a black girlfriend is completely bogus... Doesn't fit the storyline. 

Disappointed. Avoidable. 

Transformers : The Last Knight (Movie Rating :5.5/10)

Transformers : The Last Knight(Movie Rating :5.5/10)

Clang clang clang....a tale of tungsten v/s steel v/s carborundum v/s clang clang... Optimus Prime, the Robot with the Halo has sped off to his planet whilst the evil, Sorceress executes capture -annihilation of the earth plan....

Amalgamation of the Transformers bit to King Arthur and his Knights, along-with Merlin is done in a most enigmatic way...with the Excalibur personified as a Talisman...a bridge between Earth Knights and Galactic Knights - Transformers...

Clearly the day belongs to Sir Antony Hopkins, with his inimitable style. Mark Wahlberg, renegade and own master is impressive. Isabella Moner, well -  is present. 

Easily an interesting story, albeit stretched beyond. Avoidable
