Tiger 3 (2023)
Enjoyable Watch
I just watched Tiger 3. Went in with many expectations for this movie as well. Well, I did find the movie to be very good their was a couple cons to it to.
Let's start with the good. To all the people saying their were no mass moments. First of all, it's not trying to be that. It is trying to be clever unlike what we saw in pathaan. I just kept seeing nonstop action in that movie which was forcefully put without a proper screenplay. Here I loved how the first half, it focused on building the characters and storytelling. If you've watched the Bourne series, mission impossible and bond films, you'll understand what they tried to do here. The second half was much more fast paced in regards to the editing but it gave you that dopamine thrust. The action pieces were amazing and although VFX still needed some work at parts, it was much better than pathaan. Seems like they took the feedback and worked a bit on it. Talking about performances, Emrasn Hashmi's character was not as good as it could be but he made it his own and acted it off really well. Salman Khan as Tiger was exactly what we've seen but I liked how he was trying to act in this one unlike the last couple lacklusters he's given. Katrina Kaif as Zoya was what I think should be the talk of the town. Almost all of her action scenes are done by her and she makes one hell of an action star. The other supporting cast was good and did they job well.
Now let's talk about the negatives. As I said vfx was a bit off at parts but I'll give it some leeway because this is a Bollywood movie and it isn't mounted on a $100m budget like Hollywood films. Tigers screen time in actions scenes was a bit less I felt. They gave him more interaction and witty moving instead which I don't mind but I felt they could've added a bit more of him. Talking about the big cameo in the movie, I loved watching the whole sequence, but I feel the SRK should've kept it a bit more serious as the stakes were high. I will say, Tiger Overshadows Pathaan anyway. It's like Salman was born to be Tiger. Solid comeback for Salman Khan and Emraan Hashmi. Ranvir Shorey, Gavie Chalal, Varinder Singh Ghuman did wonderful in their small but pivotal roles.
So that my thoughts on the movie. I give it a 7.5 / 10 but I will say, the movie does not beat the first one. I believe Ek Tha Tiger was the best movie in this universe and will remain due to its intelligence in presenting a narrative one could only imagine. Do go and watch this one.
Pathaan (2023)
Solid film which delivers what it promises
After a 4 year hiatus, SRK returns to the big screen with a bang, setting stage on fire with his terrific screen presence, style, swag, and of course, the laid back subtle dialogue delivery. John Abraham is the perfect antagonist, looked menacing with his towering personality and Deepika did a fair job with what she was given. Technically, movie's slick with excellent cinematography and crisp editing, though the VFX looked really subpar, hand-to-hand combat sequences were superbly choreographed, rest looked OTT. Siddharth Anand does a superb job in presenting SRK and movie, but the writing sounded cliché and could have done a better job. Great comeback for SRK and John Abraham. The supporting cast did great which included dimple kapadia, shaji choundhary, viraf patel, and keith sequeria.
Lastly, the cameo appearance was well inducted into the movie and fires up the hall.
Bhagavanth Kesari (2023)
Enjoyable ride
I am speechles after watching this movie what a energetic performance by NBK..His dialogues,his action scenes,the way he makes Villains and even coomon people stumble upon him whenever he delivers punch and mass dialogues..It might look funny but still it gives AKHANDA vibes with Thaman Massy Bgm added a lot of strength for movie..Sreeleela not only stole our hearts,she impressed us with her scenes and last ending fight scenes she was awesome..Arjun Rampal as villain was good same the rich type villain who wants to control over world but still he delivers unique performance so far. Kajal agarwal did minor role as heroine for NBK and others characters were good..I wish to see Sreeleela in more action movies and get a role like Katrina kaif from Tiger 3..Anil Ravipudi hatsoff man for pulling such a wonderful script.. The main flaws of the film are the screenplay and the comedy scenes. Arjun Rampal made a solid debut in a telugu film.
Gadar 2 (2023)
One-time watch
This film is not as good as the first part. Sunny deol kept this film alive. Has a lot of nostalgia. Gaurav chopra and the others did their parts fine. The only issue is the film is too long and Utakarsh Sharma gave a lackluster performance. It is a one time watch. It is an average film. Sunny is back in action. The hand pump scene is amazing. The emotional connection between father and son is really good. Utkarsh (Sunny's son in the movie) did really well. He can act, dance & perform good action as well. The love interest of Sunny's son played by Simran Kaur and she looked fresh and played her character beautifully.
Amisha didn't have much to do in the film but she did a fair job.
Young couple's love story has been captured well by Anil Sharma.
Let's talk about the Hero of the film Sunny Deol. As expected his dialogue delivery brings you back to Gadar 1 and action sequences has been performed well.
Film could have been trimmed little bit just before the interval.
You will definitely miss the great Amrish Puri Saab in the film. No one can do better job as an antagonist but Manish Wadhva did a fair job and he reminds of Katya (Danny) from movie Ghatak because his dialogue delivery style is pretty much like Denny. In fact Danny could have played antagonist's part really well in this film.
It's a good entertainer to watch with the family for sure. Sunny Deol carries the whole film.
Ghar Aaja Pardeshi and Me nikla Gaddi leke again sung well by Udit ji and you will definitely come out singing these songs after the movie finishes.
Overall a good paisa vasool Hindi movie.
Simmba (2018)

Bhuj: The Pride of India (2021)
hot mess
Awful film. Only sanjay dutt and sharad kelkar were the good things in this film.
Class of 83 (2020)
Garbage
Bobby deol can not act. A better actor should have been chosen for the main role. Bobby deol has one expression the whole time. The only good performance is vishwajeet pradhan.
Saaho (2019)
Awesome movie, don't have too much expectations but enjoy what it has to offer.
The movie is pretty entertaining and amazing. The action scenes are amazing. All the performances are good. The only negative is that the ending has too many twists. Have an open mind.
