  MONICA O' MY DARLING : MOVIE REVIEW  Lets start with the conclusion first : - Must Watch  If you have about 2 hours & 10 mins to spare, then please go ahead & indulge yourself in this very fantastic entertainer. It’s a 130 minute edge of the seat ride that takes you through numerous twists & turns and keeps you waiting for the next swing. Here comes a scintillating movie with dark twisted comedy that one gets to see only once in a while in Bollywood cinema. For those who like a sneak peek for a quick preview, this should suffice – Must   watch It is very difficult to capture the thrill of a whodunit story but to have a witty narrative around it and yet come out with flying colours is quite a big task. Bollywood genres are usually slapstick comedy, which are mostly over the top or some pure mystery storylines, which fail to keep the suspense alive in most parts. To weave these two genres together and keep the entire plot & sub plots is like wal...

                                                         The Kashmir Files (movie review) YZEN says : MUST watch. Keep a strong heart ! 4 stars **** This is not a movie. It's a slice of history that is smacked right into our face. A story in the annals of history that has not been told to us till date. It has been quietly swept under the carpet and as we all live in our cosy, comfortable life, we have largely chosen to ignore it. Mind you, this history is not from ancient times.

The movie makes no apologies in getting the brutality of the atrocities, staring at you and almost forcing you to reach deep down and explore your soul. Self conscie...

  Pushpa The Rise : Movie Review   It took me 4 instalments over 3 days to finish a 3 hour movie ! Simply goes on to say that I did not find it to be an edge of the seat, non stop entertainer. Let me be fair here .. most of us who are / were die hard fans of Amitabh’s (Coolie, Deewar, Shaki, Don … ) or even the Mumbai masses who are Sallu bhai’s fans, get goose bump moments when AB says “Don ko pakadna mushkil hi nahi ….” Or Sallu’s “ … body mein itne chedd karenge …. “ ! Similarly, Allu Arjun fans would dance in the aisle at his larger than life persona, his audacity to take his more evil & established bad guys, the swag and the dialogues ! Unfortunately, I have not watched any of Allu Arjun’s movies earlier & hence it was just any other over the top gangsta flick for me. The story is nothing new & it has been explored in many a movie – the rise of the underdog. Pushpa’s character is built over 3 hours & despite all the buzz over the social media, i...
