Pathaan Review: The Same Old Bollywood! Pathan is Pathaan Review: The Same Old Bollywood! Pathan is a typical Bollywood masala - pulsating action, amazing thrills, picturesque locations, songs, Bhai and paisa vasool entertainment. An average predictable fare! A family entertainer! The movie is a typical spy thriller with ample doses of patriotism, corportization of terror and use of bio-warfare. The film is trying hard to be a Hollywood flick! SRK and Deepika sizzlingly exist but it is John Abraham and Dimple that steal the show with their steadfast performances! The movie is the launch of SRK as action hero where every other superstar has an action franchise. But SRK is diluted and the movie is actually a big disservice to the legend. Pyrrhic victory! Pathaan is yet another template movie from the corporate Yashraj. The brilliance and art of Yashraj has been silenced by the commercial and lazy considerations. The outstanding response to Pathaan is symbolic of our love for Cinema and SRK. It is a message to dismiss frivolous diversionary elements and focus on the real agenda. Chak De India and Swades have given a bigger message of patriotism than Pathaan. SRK is a charmer who has given us matchless happiness and love - the success of Pathan is love for an attacked star and a tortured father. Bollywood is neither gone nor it can be back with movies like this! Real Bollywood is in 2022’s Jalsa, Monica O My Darling, Love Hostel etc. Pathaan - An average paisa vasool family entertainer! #cinema #indiancinema #srk #shahrukhkhan #deepika #bollywood #spymovies #action #bollywoodreview #pathaan #pathaanreview

The Bollywood Review - 2022 Quick Summary: 1. So The Bollywood Review - 2022 Quick Summary: 1. Southern Spice was the topic of Bollywood in 2022. Did Bollywood lose the plot to Southern entertainers? Yes and No. 2. Indian audience has been pampered by best of the global cinema in the last two years of Covid. The mediocrity is shunned. Template movie making is rejected. 3. Bollywood was indeed outclassed by Southern movies in the big budget masala category - RRR is roaring across India and making an impact at Oscars. Kantara posters are in North India. KGF2 rules. Pre-Bahubali days, no South Indian movie would last beyond a week in North. Today, they are having a golden run. Southern movies have shown that audience will return to cinema - give them worthy content! 4. Ponniyn Selvan 1, Yashoda, Sita Ramam and Jaya Jaya Jaya Jaya He have continued the Southern supremacy. Radhe Shyam proved that audience is unforgiving. 5. Bollywood's Brahmastra to Southern challenge was a mixed success - did not live to expectations. The biggest Bollywood blockbuster was also a Southern remake - Drishyam 2. 6. Remember 100 crore club? In 2019, 100 crore was passe, 200 crore was becoming common and 300 crore club was the new sign of success. In 2022, only a few movies hit the 100 crore club - Gangubai Kathiawadi, The Kashmir Files, Bhool Bhulaiya 2, Brahmastra and Drishyam 2. Clearly, audience is spending money wisely and Bollywood is bleeding with its self-inflicted wounds. 7. Shamshera, Samrat Prithviraj, Raksha Bandhan, Lala Singh Chaddha, Liger, Ram Setu, Cirkus, Jayesbhai Jordaar - Perfect examples of big names and big banners producing duds. 8. Bollywood did have amazing movies in 2022 as well - but they did not capture the headlines. The list is showcased below. 9. Gujarati Film Industry came out of age and had a steady churn of interesting movies. 10. Alia maintained her numero uno status with Gangubai. She was also a part of Brahmastra, Darlings and RRR. Shefali Shah rose with Salsa, Darlings and Dr G - not to forget Delhi Crime 2 and Humans. #bollywood #bollywoodreview #bollywood2022 #2022review #cinema #movies2022 #movies #films2022 #film
The Banshees Of Inisherin: Melancholic. Macabre. M The Banshees Of Inisherin: Melancholic. Macabre. Maddening. Morbid. Must-Watch. An impeccable, thought provoking and insightful epic of human relationships and life! When friendships break! When existential questions hurt! Just like every other day, Padraic visits his best friend Colm for the ritualistic trip to the local pub. Colm refuses to speak and breaks the friendship which devastates Padraic to no end. Padraic persists on winning back his friend but Colm is equally stubborn and threatens to cut off his fingers one by one if Padriac does not back off! Ouch! And shockingly, he walks the talk! Heart-breaking and horrifying! What a story....what an impressive set of eclectic characters! Colm is a thinker who wants to have a purposeful life and leaving a lasting impression on the world! His icy cold rejection of Colm is incisive - "I just don’t like you no more”! Padraic just wants to be nice human being and feels kindness is what one will be remembered for! His reactions to Colm as well as his interactions with animals are moving! And what an ending! Will not spoil the beans...tell what you think of it? Colin Farell and Brendan Gleeson's chemistry as two friends at odd is amazing! The whole range of emotions from confusion to shock to anger is well a master class in acting - expressed with eyes and body language! Kerry Condon and Barry Keoghan are rock solid and lift the movie to a next level. Martin McDonagh focusses on human relationship and small town absurdities with the backdrop of war in a remote Irish island. Life in a judgemental and probing community can be claustrophobic and maddening! The writing and screenplay is very meaningful and incisive - translated impeccably on the big screen with an emphatic treatment! The cinematography is a character in itself and transports you to the beautifully Irish countryside. The visuals and music have a calming effect - acting as a meditative healing amidst the melancholic pain! A movie that will touch you and set you thinking! #review #moviereview #cinema #pyschological #disneyhotstar #weekend #weekendwatch #slowburn #mustwatch #thebansheesofinisherin #thriller #darkcomedy #dark
