Chi Va Chi Sau Ka

#ChiVaChiSauKa - Lighthearted, simple and free-flowing film.

Most of the characters are unlike real-life; not seen anyone so crazy about water conservation or a crazy animal lover who "growls" at animal references in conversations or a 70+ "wild" grandmother aspiring to remarry. That said, all of them together are fun to watch and effortlessly carry the narrative forward.

However, if you have seen the excessive promos on TV, then there's nothing much new in the film. The entire story and punches are part of the trailer.

Also the end was kinda rushed; as if someone hit the warning bell that time's up!

Overall a decent one time watch.

3 ⭐️. Would have been a 3.5 if i had not seen the promos before watching the film!

Cinematic Delight!

#Bahubali2 - Its grand!

Although the story is fairy-tale-like, the overall execution is superb.

Absolutely loved the ginormous sets that make #Mahismati seem so real that you want to cheer for your king and chant "bahubali bahubali...".

A well made closure to the first part, but "why katappa killed bahubali" was kinda predictable and made one wonder how we could not guess it! 😦

The cast is wonderful. Loved Prabhas as Amarendar Bahubali. Anushka Shetty looks very pretty in her princess getup. Sharad Kelkar has done a fab job in dubbing Bahubali's voice.

Overall, a good cinematic experience.

4⭐️ from me. #JaiMahishmati. Cannot believe this film comes from the same industry which also generates torturous stuff we have to endure on Set Max on daily basis!

Naam-Sab-Mat-Aana

#NaamShabana - More like "Naam-Sab-Mat-Aana".

Apart from a great performance by #TaapseePannu, there is nothing in it!

Is it so meh just to show that its a prequel to #Baby and the latter is an improvement? 🤔

Shabana's character is much identical to PeeCee's character from Quantico! Also the first half of the film drags on thus impacting the runtime. Other actors have very limited scope.

Overall, just so-so and can be given a skip.

2.5⭐️ from me. 2 for my loyalty to the franchise and 0.5 bonus just for Taapsee's performance.

Who's the boss??

#TheBossBaby- Truly ruthless and toothless!

A simplistic film with several funny moments and one-liners. Too many cute things which look cuter in 3D. 🙂

Loved the realistic concept with a mix of fantasy - from insensitive babies being selected in management and sibling rivalry to a baby manufacturing corporation, it has it all.

Overall, a fun one time watch.

3.5⭐️ from me.

Unspirited

#Phillauri - "Sau Saal Pehle Mujhe Tumse Pyaar Tha, Aaj Bhi Hai Aur Kal Bhi Rahega.."- that's pretty much the gist of the film!

The story is okay-ish and the performances average. There are few funny moments but the rest is mundane.

Music is decent with a couple of hummable tunes.

A typical Punjabi filmy wedding with a dash of spookiness, this is an average one time watch!

2.5⭐️

Trapped

#Trapped - A gripping, edge-of-the-seat thriller with a brilliant performance by Rajkumar Rao.

Though kinda unrealistic with some situations that make you feel "he could have just done ------ and escaped", its a good one time watch.

Warning: Some scenes, though very brief, are extreme and can make u go 🙈


3.5⭐️ from me.

Immortal

#AmarPhotoStudio - Whatta play!

A concept which has been seen in some form or the other in cinema has been brilliantly depicted! All performances simply fantastic.

Always admired #AmeyWagh as a multifaceted actor; was totally impressed by the spectrum covered by #SuvratJoshi; was great to see a totally different #SakhiGokhale and #PoojaThombre.

Overall, it was a timeless, effortless and amazing experience. 4.5⭐️ from me.

Please catch it if you haven't already! Missed my fangirl moment of personally meeting the stars just because it was too late in the night! 😶
