⭐️⭐️⭐️#MetroInDino is a quirky ride through a city full of complicated hearts. There is a fun variety of characters and a handful of moments that’ll make you smile, presented musically, wrapped in some catchy tunes.
But let’s face it, there are far too many cues dropped on the way that make the comparison inevitable with #LifeInAMetro, a film that set the gold standard for urban relationship drama two decades ago.
While the original was fresh, bold, and ahead of its time, at least for many, #MetroInDino feels more like a relationship remix full of clichéd and familiar themes, that playfully deals with modern love yet ends up only scratching the surface.
Relationship sermons are well placed and nicely written, yet appear ironical justifying infidelity at times. 'Falling out of Love' might have an alternate route too, it feels.
Overall it's a film that can be a breezy tea-time watch on #Netflix, may not be worthy enough to justify your once-in-a-while matinee visit to theatres. Watch it for the characters, witnessing your favorite actors in delightfully offbeat roles, and a playlist that carries some deserving chartbusters.

The meltdown in the left ecosystem over #Dhurandar2 is something else. On one side they are busy declaring it pure fiction, wildly detached from reality. Yet, are absolutely furious that a "feature film" made demonetization look defensible. Pick a struggle, comrades!
Finally!! Those who have been following this film and @anuragkashyap72 since long, know why this is an anticipated release. Sad that it didn't find theatres even after rocking festivals worldwide. Glad that it is landing somewhere.👏🏻🙏🏻✨️✨️ #Kennedy

⭐️⭐️#AapJaisaKoiOnNetflix is a let down. Starts off well with innocuous rom-com energy. Things look set for a cozy popcorn ride until they enter the mediocre choppy waters of Patriarchal commentary.
Well, the hope still survives. @ActorMadhavan is effertlessly charming with his honest middle-aged vibes and occasional smirk that keep the things afloat on screen.
But then the plot commits a cardinal sin of 'defying patriarchy by justifying adultery'. BAM!! The only silverlining keeping this film away from the label of 'woke cinema' is brutally lost and so is lost the connect whatsoever, with the audience. It's a steep downhill from there.
A film that could have been for everyone, given Madhavan's universal acceptance, ends up being yet another #NetflixOriginal taking along only a silver of a silver of Multiplex audience, leaving the rest of us gasping at the shore.
As a cinephile you're left with nothing but disappointment for what could have been. Closing conversation tries to stealthily steer away from those choppy waters and makes an attempt to wrap things back on track. Yet, unsuccessfully so. Alas! The ship has sailed by then.
Overall, watch it for a decent build up and a few moments of sparkling chemistry between #Madhu and #Shri. The film does carry a hangover from #Mrs and #RARKPK and could have been an equal entertainment if only that lovely start wasn't just disguise for a confused dwindling script.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️#KaalidharLaapata is an absolute gem. This film is a warm hug, thanks to the fantastic performances and the genuinely heart-melting chemistry between #KD and #Billu.
A simple story that never drags spilled with these little philosophical nuggets that make you think about the big questions in life. At the core of it the plot is simple. About a lost, ill man trying to rediscover himself and what truly matters in life. Gets aquainted by a kid and how both of them go on a playful survival trip.
Here and there, when the things start getting heavy, the script hits you with such charming, lighthearted moments that keep everything delightfully fresh.
@juniorbachchan delivers a stellar performance, but the real show-stealer for me is #Billu, brought to life by #Daivik. The kid is all heart and shows a lot of promise. Will go a long way for sure.
Overall, If you need a breezy film to lighten up your Sunday, #KaalidharLaapata is the perfect pick. It’s honest, thoughtful, and equally fun. Don’t miss.

⭐️⭐️⭐️#Raid2 is okayish. Doesn't match the levels of its first part. Partly because the premise is same and the face-off doesn't escalate much. But it does have its moments.
#AjayDevgn portrays an honest officers' no frills avatar with aplomb. #ritesh does everything to appear fiendish yet falls just short and never rises to the pedestal of a 'formidable adversary' that #Dadabhai should operate from. #SaurabhShukla was more convincing for me in a corrupt politician's role. #vaniKapoor is replacable.
That said, the film is not bad. The second part of this successful franchise is also entertaining, evenly paced and totally watchable. Post interval, when the things start to drag a bit, #AmitSial enters to bring them back to track. Keeps the ball rolling thereafter.
Watch it for a decent matinee entertainment.

⭐️💫 #JewelThiefOnNetflix is a let down. Loose script. Frivolous setup and a plot that's dosent carry an iota of freshness.
#SaifAliKhan is straight out of #Race sets. A character that despite all its flamboyance and charm ends up being just a caricature. @JaideepAhlawat had little to support in the film through his earnest attempts. @kapoorkkunal is wasted. @nikifyinglife is hot and shows promise. To be evaluated in some other works perhaps.
Overall it's a futile attempt at an age old 'heist-script' that bollywood has experimented with countless times. Only disappointment to take back home. Nothing to be entertained about while it lasts either.
Skip and lose nothing. In the end it only makes you realize why makers didn't bother for a theatrical release.

Just watched #CrazxyOnPrime and ohh man! How the hell did it not make enough noise in cinemahalls.
Brilliant setup. Fast paced script and superb storytelling. @s0humshah is in top form through out the film that never loses the grip on its audience. Not for a moment.
That 'tyre changing' scene has to be amongst the craziest sequences coming out of bollywood in decades. A complete lesson on how nail-biters are filmed, presented & enacted.
Do grab this cinematic brilliance if you too missed it in theatres. Totally regretting letting it go back then. Absolute must-watch for cinephiles. Not-to-be-missed otherwise too.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️#KesariChapter2 is powerpacked and entertaining. The untold story of Jallianwala Bagh truly keeps you engaged.
@akshaykumar's return with a staggering screen presence after long, coupled with @ActorMadhavan's strong act delivers just the right blend of a heart-numbing and high-stakes emotional ride. Dialogues are superb and the courtroom battle is immensly engaging.
A piece of history that deserves to be told to every Indian and the aftermath of which apparently shook the foundation of the crown. Dramatic? Yes. but also deeply moving and praiseworthy in terms of storytelling.
Must watch for every Indian and every true lover of cinema. Don't Skip!

⭐️⭐️⭐️#SkyForce is sincere yet lukewarm. If you're keen on revisiting the long-lost heroics of Indian Air Force and one of its celebrated martyrs, this film might just make a soft landing on your interest radar.
Just be aware that there are no adrenaline rushing action sequences. This one is more of a history lesson than a thrill ride.
The problem with #skyForce is the lack of an antagonist. Without a strong villain to fuel the drama, the heroism feels a bit grounded and that's what keeps this film to lowkey levels.
That said, @akshaykumar delivers a heartfelt performance, and the film does justice to retelling a forgotten tale of patriotism, without the fluff. Worthy one-time watch.
P.S. Just a personal call, but #Fighter soared higher for me.

⭐️⭐️⭐️💫#TheDiplomat is a winner. A gripping plot, sharp screenplay, and performances that just don't disappoint. No unnecessary dramatics in this solid, true-to-life political thriller.
If #Article370 had your attention, this one will match, if not surpass, the expectations.
About @TheJohnAbraham : After years of struggling to find a range of expressions for his scripts, he has finally found a script that effortlessly matches his expressions. Those stern gazes, perfectly timed grins are a treat to watch, delivered with such ease. Petition to see him more in such roles. 🙏🙏
Overall it's a film that gives a fascinating glimpse into diplomatic warfare, showcasing one of India’s many tactical brilliances without the usual jingoism. An interesting account by and large that should find its audience and the momentum in the coming days through word of mouth.
Do watch! [RR:3.5/5]
