The Great Indian Kapil Show (2024)
A real downgrade!
I have been a huge Kapil Sharma fan for the last 10 years. I even purchased a Netflix subscription when I learn that the show will now release on the OTT platform. While I have watched all the episodes, I have to admit that I am really disappointed. I will list some of my observations without any spoilers.
1. The runtime has been halved.
2. The characters have all changed.
3. The new characters are not as fun as the previous ones.
4. The writers have changed. It is obvious as the jokes are quite lame.
5. The show has lost its charm.
6. Honestly, I do not like the new set. It is less colourful and rather dull.
7. The guests on the show are mostly from Netflix shows.
8. A big turnoff is that there is a generic music playing instead of the actual songs for which Netflix does not have the rights. This never happened on Sony TV or Colours!!
9. The actors do not seem as committed as they previously were.
10. The only likeable new characters are Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un and Chumbak Mittal played by Krushna Abhishek, Kiku Sharda and Sunil Grover respectively. Krushna has played Donald before though. So even that is not original.
Well, I hope the coming episodes will be better and wish them all the very best.
Adipurush (2023)
Can we even call this a movie?
For a second, let us all forget that we have heard, read or watched another adaptation of the Ramayana. Especially, we must not compare with Ramanand Sagar's Ramayan. Let us even assume that this movie has nothing to do with any religious beliefs.
Even then, this movie is a big let down. The duration of this movie is 2h50. About 2h30 of it was without dialogues and/or acting. You simply have to watch it to believe it.
Am never ever watching any movie from this director, or Prabhas if that matters.
For someone who does not know the Ramayana, this movie will not even make sense. Nothing was explained. Worst movie of recent times imo.
Inside Edge (2017)
Season 3 was below average
This is an excellent show. One of a kind in India. Please do not ruin this by the poor writing. The scenes leading up to the death of one of the prominent characters was so cringe-worthy. It did not make any sense - neither in terms of the build nor in terms of the characters personality. I hope these issues are addressed in season 4 and we can have a long lasting series about cricket...
Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021)
Hated The Flash and Did Not Get to See Enough of Steppenwolf
The portrayal of The Flash was the worst it could have been.
Steppenwolf is a great villain. Extremely well designed and acted. But the director did not give him enough screentime and did not develop the character well enough.
The action scenes were not good enough for me.
Good acting overall but movie is hyped.
There was a scene where the horses are supposedly running, but the background remains fixed.
Good time pass during the lockdown but I don't understand how this is supposed to be one of the best superhero movies ever.
Section 375 (2019)
Good Acting
Akshay Khanna did an excellent job.
They failed to get the most out of a versatile actress like Richa Chadda.
The story was quite predictable and the climax not believable enough.
The judges were well cast.
7/10 is the highest that I can give this movie...
The Good Place (2016)
Should have been a two season show
50 episodes was a bit too much for its premise. The first season is good, second season less good, third season is the worst, season 4 is just average.
If it had been 3 seasons of 10 episodes, it would have been one of the freshest TV shows ever. Too many stretched and unnecessary episodes. The writers were out of idea, to be honest!
I fail to understand how it even got an average of 8.2... This has been one of the most tiresome binge-watching experience for me.
Seasons 1 and 2 are still recommended though...
The Lobster (2015)
A big miss!
First half is excellent. Second half is as if they did not know what they were doing anymore. I was disappointed.
Engrenages (2005)
This show can challenge lots of American Shows...
This has to be the best French show ever. First time I have invested so much time watching a French production.
The first 5 seasons are excellent.
Season 6 is still better than average. However, there are things that did not make sense to me, especially at the emotional level. Also, the new characters were not well-developed. But. that my opinion..
Watch it and you will love it!
The Incredibles (2004)
A Must Watch
Maybe 10/10 is a bit exaggerated. However, I watched this movie in 2018 - 14 years after its release. Still, I think this is the best superhero movie I have watched in a long long time. Now just imagine how incredible this must have been 14 years ago. In short, The Incredibles (2004) is an excellent promo for the 2018 movie. :)
