Tumbbad - My View

We are living in an era where the quantity of the movies has gone high but the quality of movies is seeing a low. This doesn't apply only to Kollywood but also to Hollywood and Bollywood. If there is one genre which is brutally affected by this quantity vs quality trend then it is the horror genre. The 95% of movies that are coming up under the horror genre is neither giving us fears, nightmares or revulsions. At one end the industry has started to rely merely only on jump scares which I feel like a cheap technique and total injustice to the horror genre. Jump scares are definitely needed in a movie but to what extent is the question.  We see many movies nowadays which travel only on jump scares devoiding us the terror and chill feel which is the very heart of a horror movie. On another end, we have horror movies which are full of comedy that makes us wonder if we are seeing a comedy movie or a horror movie. I strongly started to believe the age of horrors are g...

13 Reasons Why - My View

A must watch series which is haunting and beautiful. It sheds light on various activities which we do or have done in the past in our day to day life which might have hurt people lives in ways we could have never imagined. The series talks strongly on issues like bullying, sexual assault, character assaulting, negligence, friendship, betrayal, and love. This is kind of an eye opener and self-assessment one. A girl called Hannah takes her life and records 13 tapes explaining who all were responsible for her death. Along with the reasons behind her suicide the series talks about various social issues around us on a sublime note. Like the gay/lesbian, teenage emotions, domestic violence, drug abuse, gun culture and a lot. Great performances from all the leads and every single one have done full justice to their roles. When we go through different feelings like closure for Clay, helplessness for Hannah and anger to take apart Bryce's head then you know the performances ...

The Death of Superman - My View

One can’t just start writing about everything he wishes to or wants to. You need to be in a groove to do it and to be in the groove you need the content to push you into it. I have watched four movies this week and really wanted to write about at least two of them. However, things catch up and we never get a chance to write. Today it was completely different from where I couldn’t stop myself writing after seeing something, I love very much which was also presented in a perfect way. The movie is based on the comic of the same name which was a three-part series. However, the animation movie is made in two parts. The part one of the books and the movie focuses on Doomsday and Superman battle and its eventual ending. The movie also closely focuses on the relationship between Louis and Superman and to be honest it was beautiful. The main plot is about stopping the killing machine Doomsday from destroying all lives on Earth and what Superman and the JL team have to go through in ac...

Krishna Gaadi Veera Prema Gaadha - My View

I am not sure if my translation is right but I believe this is what it means "Chariot Krishna's Brave Love Story" or "Krishna's Brave Love Story". Whichever but both suits perfectly the movie. We have come across many movies where the title is completely absurd but in here it is the opposite. An apt title for the movie. In fact, once the movie is over once can understand the meaning of the title and can relate more to it.  This shows how much effort and sincere the team has been behind the movie. A timid man is in love with a henchman's sister. To win his love he needs to accomplish a task which takes him on an emotional journey. The plot is pretty simple and in fact, we have seen this in many movies in the past. However, the treatment of this storyline is what makes this movie a memorable watch. The movie doesn't take the serious route rather takes the laugh riot. This movie has many moments where you will be all smiles or laughing your...
