Drive

#Drive - Is #Race on your mind? Then #DhoomMachale! 😏

Its basically a crude version of #Dhoom on 4 wheels, with an attempt to throw in the “thrill” of #Race. Extremely predictable, it fails to engage. May be thats why it was released directly to #Netflix. #SmartMove😬

#SushantSinghRajput is good (or may be I am biased 😜); #JackquelineFernandes is a bimbette as usual; #BomanIrani and #PankajTripathi are wasted; others are whatever!

Overall, nothing much to “drive” you crazy.

2⭐️ from me.

#Chhichhore - A class apart from other typical films of the college/hostel/friendship genre.

Some might say that the premise is unrealistic and silly but for me it struck the right chords and opened the doors to memory lane!

The characters are very real and we all have definitely encountered/been them during our college days; be it the one-track-mind #Sexa, the angry and foul-mouthed #Acid, the leader of the “mean gang” #Raggie, athletic #Derek or mama’s boy #Mummy. #SushantSinghRajput is perfect as the leader of the pack #Anni; was amazed to see #ShraddhaKapoor fit some role to the T though she reminded me constantly of #VidyaBalan. The entire supporting cast is near perfect- right from #VarunSharma, #TahirRajBhasin, #PrateikBabbar, #MohammadSamad to the canteen cook and the hostel desk employee!

The film is laden with jokes that are quite nonsensical but so perfectly executed that you are in splits. The music is quite hummable. After #3Idiots, I think this has the potential to become a classic.

Definitely worth a watch.

Captain Cool

#MSDhoni - An untold story indeed! Perfectly showcases the struggle that he went through to achieve what he has.

Highs - Sushant Singh Rajput is near- perfect; be it the look, the technique or the acting. Other cast is also apt and the story is lucid.

Lows - Too lengthy. Could have wrapped up in under 2 hrs. Also, the cricket was repetitive and wicketkeeping, which is his forte, was not given any limelight!

Overall, I feel this one should have been made few years down the line, when he contributes something back to where he came from. The reciprocation angle is non-existent.

All in all, 3/5 from me.
