Jhimma (2021)
Sweet movie
A modern and sweet movie. Excellent direction. Outstanding acting by all. Each one lives her his role. Top class locations from England put icing on the cake. Wish to see many more such movies in Marathi.
Panghrun (2019)
Great performances
Do the movie moves at a slow pace hit it doesn't allow audience attention to waiver. Trust Mahesh Manjarekar to create lifestyle of Brahmin household from 100 year old konkan.
Outstanding music direction, lively abhagas and some great performances grace the movie.
And a message to top it all that amply focusses on needs of a woman that was disregarded then and also now to a great extent.
Dial 100 (2021)
Could have avoided watching
Poor schoolboy level storyline. Poorly directed. No performance to remember. Repetitive dialogues.
One thing to credit is that you do feel all the time that something is going to happen that will make movie interesting hereon. You wait for 2 hours for a straightforward climax.
Jai Bhawani Jai Shivaji (2021)
Top notch performances
While allowing for creative liberty in crafting the story, the series delves deeper into Shivaji Maharaj as the leader of his Mavale ie dedicated soldiers. The story is more about the sacrifices of his close aides who left no stone unturned to persue the dream of hindavi swarajya.
Direction very crisp and focussed. All actors including even those with passing roles have done an excellent job. Shivaji and jijamata fit in the role with perfection. Sets and costumes are also very detailed.
Highly recommended. Must watch.
Anumati (2013)
Vikram Gokhale shining
As always.. Vikram Gokhale shines with his portrayal of an old man. Superb acting.
Tumbbad (2018)
As dark as it gets
Very disturbing. Not exactly typical horror. Instead makes you feel uneasy and engulfed by darkness. Not seen a better movie in hindi. Must watch on big screen. Only Stephen King's best books will give you a similar feeling.
Omerta (2017)
lacklustre direction with no scope for performance
Mediocre, poorly crafted, movie which makes you glance at the watch every 5 minutes. A background narrator could have helped. Rajkumar rao wasted thorouglyt.
No One Killed Jessica (2011)
Dragged on and on
Saw the movie as it was on showcase. It dragged on for not less than 2hours and 10 minutes. Print media had rated the movie very highly.
I felt that a crisp movie could have been made minus the background scores and prolongation of predictable sequences. Even a stringent editing could have enhanced the impact considerably. It would have been worth the watch had it been 1 and a qt hour. Rani was shown to be overly smart and chirpy but her acting left a lot to be desired. Whether English or Hindi, her dialogs lacked clarity, were very poor on change of pace and tone of delivery. A 4th grader would have done better in this regard. add to this the husk and you get one of the most unintelligible delivery. The movie fails to produce the same outrageous effect that even a well informed writeup would have had while the real Jessica murder trial was going on. The only good part is the camera-work and the brief and overly fragmented music scores. I wish those were little longer.
