I write one movie review every Friday. It may also go up to two or three movie reviews over the weekend. Every Friday review is usually a First Day First Show.

The Ghazi Attack - Movie Review


The Ghazi Attack - It is India's first Naval war movie. This under sea thriller is very well made and has high doses of patriotism. Though in a cameo, it may probably be the last time you see Om Puri in action on the big screen. 

It is about a classified mission where the Indian submarine INS Rajput is on a mission to stop the Pakistani submarine Ghazi. That means despite fighting for the country the Brave soldiers get no recognituon. The underwater scenes are a treat to watch. The screenplay is fast paced and there is never a dull moment. Based on a true story which establishes India's prowess at sea, rides on the performances of three great actors, namely Kay Kay Menon, Rana Daggubati and Atul Kulkarni. In that order. This movie deserved to be released on 15th Aug or 26th Jan as it is full of valour, courage and nationalism that the story symbolizes. This movie will make you hate Pakistan even more. Their sympathisers based in India may want to watch it. This movie makes for an exciting watch this weekend. 

The national anthem is played twice during the final stages of the movie. Once the entire crew of the submarine sings it to boost their morale and instigate the enemy. Second when the mission is over. Do not forget to stand both the times. Jai Hind. 

Next release : Rangoon - 24th Feb.

Jolly LLB - 2 Review


First Day First Show: " Jolly LLB 2 " - There are high expectations from this movie. Especially after the huge success of Jolly LLB, the prequel. The movie won the the National award for the best Hindi Film and the Best Supporting Actor award for Saurabh Shukla in 2014. There were apprehensions whether Akshay Kumar would fit in the shoes of the goofy lawyer played by Arshad Warsi. 

Come the sequel and Akshay Kumar one of the most dependable actors of Bollywood in recent times has latched himself into the skin of his character. He plays his role to the hilt in this courtroom drama. The story is about an inconsequential lawyer who lacks to make it big in life but throws in his everything while fighting that one case, rather a PIL. In order to get justice he fights against the system, police department as well his corrupt lawyers. Huma Qureshi brings in a whiff of freshness and is pleasing to watch. Without doubt Saurabh Shukla is adorable as a judge. Annu Kapoor has done his best while playing the role of a defence lawyer. But somewhere you feel Boman Irani could have played this role better. 

In all this movie entertaining as well as keeps you intrigued in the plot. Akshay Kumar does not disappoint you and should make for great family viewing this weekend. 

There is a interesting quote shown at the end of the movie and I would leave you with that. 




Next release : The Ghazi Attack, Irada - February 17th 2017

Kaabil Review



First Day First Show : " Kaabil " - The story is about a visually impaired person out with an vengeance to kill the system and the people who destroyed his life. One of Hrithik Roshan's best performances and he has made the best of his character. Yami Gautam is a value addition. There are about four antagonists in this plot but the movie is all about Hrithik. This is serious cinema hence there are few light moments. Hrithik Roshan's body language and poise is a treat to watch. This movie makes for an interesting watch during the Republic day extended weekend.
