Note: I don't really watch Bollywood movies but when I do, I like sharing views and perceptions with my readers. If you don't like watching movies, please pass this one! 😀 This movie has been in my pipeline for a very long time. It was released in 2019 and it has a rating of 6 out of 10 on IMDB. It is a dark comedy and psychological thriller. I liked the movie. Mainly because of the gripping storyline. It's not a conventional Bollywood movie with tons of songs and it focuses on story progression rather than glamour. Therefore, I was happy to watch the entire film which is almost 2 hours long. The story keeps you on the edge of your seat. You keep juggling between the thought of the protagonist being 'mental' or not. There are some bits in the movie that confuses the audience and like every good thriller, the climax shocks the viewers. The vibe of the movie is very light. Even the murder sequences do not creep you out. Overall, the storytelling is good. The acting p...

Image Courtesy: WIKIPEDIA After going gaga over the song Maana Ke Hum Yaar Nahin for years, I finally stumbled upon the movie Meri Pyari Bindu. I feel it is the most underrated movie I have ever come across. This statement correctly represents my sentiments after watching the movie. I related to the movie a lot. By a lot, I mean a lot. The story revolves around the life of a writer who pens down his story that orbits around Bindu. Bindu, the girl who is the love of his life, his first best friend, and his first crush. It is the first movie where I surmised the mindset of the protagonist. I could step in his shoes while he was writing down such impassioned events of his life. It was relatable because writers grapple between reality and fiction all the time, I did too. Sometimes it gets difficult to distinguish between the two, its the enigma that a writer leaves for the readers to comprehend and that is the beauty of it. It was transcendent to know that I am not the only one who goes ...

Watching Sanju was a pending task that I performed today. I am a huge fan of Ranbir Kapoor and I had heard a lot of good things about Sanju as well so today I finally watched the movie. The movie is based on the life of Sanjay Dutt who is a well-known actor and my generation especially love him for his very abstract role in Munna Bhai MBBS. He made us all laughed and cry in that movie with his spectacular performance. The life of Sanjay Dutt has been under the radar of media from the very beginning of his career and this movie really clarified his part of the story. Ranbir Kapoor was outstanding as Sanjay Dutt, beginning from the looks to the portrayal of a typical Sanjay Dutt style of talking and mannerism, he simply took away the show with his performance. There is no doubt in the abilities of Ranbir Kapoor as an actor, he engaged the audience throughout the movie. I personally really enjoyed the first part of the movie where he met Kamli. A scene that I would like to mention as...
