  Dune: Part Two 2024

  ★★★★★ Watched 15 Mar 2025

  The power of faith and stories is again reiterated by this story. Grand scenes of war and passionate story of love and betrayal keeps the viewer hooked to the screen. I was able to appreciate great individual performances and relate to the characters in one way or the other.

  Dune 2021

  ★★★★★ Watched 08 Mar 2025

  An intense story with complex world building. The story ends on a cliffhanger but it is compelling enough to take me to the part 2 of the movie. It’s visually compelling. Plus, no matter how much we progress in terms of technology, the basic human emotions tend to remain the same. Love, jealousy, hunger for power, status and bloodthirsty vengeful emotions drive the story.

  ★★★★ Watched 10 May 2023

  A heart wrenching movie of love and loss. The song "Tu Kisi Rail ." aptly describes how I feel when I am in love.

  ★★★★ Watched 26 Apr 2024

  Can a person choose to live without fear despite its tentacles surrounding his neck? That choice decides whether he’s doing justice to himself. Chains of conscience (as defined by gurus or gunmen) are often an excuse for influential people to claim power and put down other competitors. Every other parameter is just a matter of opinion.
