    Congrats to director Advait Chandan for directing the world's longest smartphone commercial. The movie cinematography takes a lot of inspiration from TikTok comedy sketches.

    And though that normally would be a huge negative for me, sometimes the message needs to match the audience in order to have the intended impact. With each passing year the pitfalls of the internet and social media grow larger and larger. Most youth enter it with little guidance and things can very easily get carried away.

    I don't get why this movie is rated so low, it was a pretty fun watch for me. Indian movies don't have a lot of female protagonists and when they do they tend to fall into one of 3 categories...

    1. a love story from the woman's perspective
    2. a serious social issue movie
    3. an very confident "modern" girl who isn't tied down by traditional Indian norms

    Nirma is none of these. She's an intelligent but insecure, socially awkward…

    I don't know why this movie has such high reviews. It's all awkward dialogue, non stop attempts to seem cool, and a bunch of fight scenes where an elderly, overweight main character beats up young, muscular extras.

    Fahad Fasil plays a detective with the easiest case in the world, considering literally everyone is ready to spill everything they know about Vikram on the flimsiest pretexts.
