Review:

Shershaah is an Indian Hindi-language biographical war film. This movie release was postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic and then premiered on 12 August 2021 on Amazon Prime Video. On 31st August, Amazon stated that Shershaah had become the most watched Indian film on the platform. 

Vikram Batra (Sidharth Malhotra) – is an Indian Army Captain. His courageous acts surely horripilate the audience. His love for the Indian Army and for his girlfriend certainly entices all the viewers. Sidharth is a phenomenal choice for this role. His action and love sequences captivate you entirely. 

Dimple Cheema (Kiara Advani) – is a classmate and girlfriend of Vikram Batra. Her love shines brightly throughout the movie particularly at the end. Kiara excellently used her chance and makes us tip over for her. 

Some other promising characters are Shiv Panditt, Shataf Figar, Nikitin Dheer and Mir Sarwar. 

Director Vishnuvardhan made his Bollywood debut through this film. He utilized his opportunity well. Writer Sandeep Shrivastava has done a decent job to portray war sequences with ample amount of love scenes. There is no inessential scenes in This film. Music director John Stewart Eduri has performed felicitous music and my favourite track is Raataan Lambiyan. 

As a whole, Shershaah is a proper biographical movie which brings out the true story of our nation’s super hero captain “Vikram Batra” and did justification too.

I highly recommend this movie to all the lovers of good films, army admirers and of course to those who celebrate the true heroes in this world.

Happy Watching!!!

Synopsis:

Kizie and Manny, two ordinary people brought together by a tragic twist, embark on a bittersweet and extraordinary journey into the heart of that crazy little thing called ‘life’.

Review:

I'm not writing this review to grab visitors' attention. I did that before but definitely not this one. I like Sushant not only for his acting but also for his craze for astronomy, poems and reading books. I want to specially appreciate ‘Disney+Hotstar' for the free streaming of this film.

This movie is based on a famous novel “The fault in our stars” by John Green. If you have already read this book or watched that movie in English then you will definitely know how this movie will tear off your soul. Or if you are new to this story then be prepared for your emotional roller coaster ride.

Immanuel Rajkumar/Manny (Sushant Singh Rajput) – is a osteosarcoma (bone cancer) patient. He lives with his best friend JP (Sahil Vaid) who is suffering from glaucoma. Manny is a great admirer of actor Rajnikanth. So, they decided to shoot a short movie based on the famous scenes of Rajni. Both are apt for their roles. Their enthusiastic behaviours makes audience to forget about their tragic diseases. They are so full of life. Sushant's dynamic performance stands out.

Kizie Basu (Sanjana Sanghi) – is a thyroid cancer patient. She wants to live a normal life despite her health condition. Sanjana is a perfect choice for her role. She beautifully portrays each scene.

Their love shines brighter than their deadly fate. The word ‘Seri’ (Tamil - சரி, means ‘OK’ In English) holds a very special meaning in their own fairy tale.

Kizie's father (Saswata Chatterjee) and kizie’s mother (Swastika Mukherjee) have played their roles well. You will witness how typical parents try to come out of their way for their daughter’s happiness.

A.R. Rahman has beautifully done the excellent melancholic music with an exuberant touch. My personal favourite track is 'Main Tumhara'.

Story starts off straight away and ends in a sad soul stirring phase.

Direction, cinematography are perfectly done.

Overall, Dil Bechara is a grief-stricken film which has three-hanky ending.

I highly recommend this movie to all the lovers of romantic melodrama and of course to the admirers of Sushant Singh Rajput.

Happy watching!!!

P.S: Dear Sushant,

I love all your 'Self musing' writings especially the following one,

“Somewhere between neurons & narratives, I was born, lived, dreamt & died”.

You will always be missed.

By,
One among your innumerable fans.

Synopsis:

Thappad is a story of Amrita whose seemingly perfect life is shattered when her husband slaps her once in a party. But, Is one slap enough to question what a relationship stands for?

Review:

I unexpectedly watched this movie trailer. After that, I searched for some Google reviews about this movie. After reading few reviews, I made up my mind to definitely watch this movie sometime. I made the right choice after all.

Amrita (Taapsee Pannu) – Married to Vikram (Pavail Gulati). They happily lived their life until everything turns upside down because of a single slap. Both of them give real soul to their roles. She is the queen of this movie.

Shivani (Dia Mirza) and her daughter Sania (Gracy Goswami) beautifully play their roles. Her story is proof that beautiful love also exists.

Advocate Netra (Maya Sarao) manifests justice to her role through her brilliant acting. Her part makes you to realise that true happiness is everything that matters in your life. And advocate Pramod (Ram Kapoor) perfectly fits to oppose her boldness.

Sunita (Geetika Vidya Ohlyan) makes you realise how cruelly this world treats some housewives.

Sachin (Kumud Mishra) and Sandhya (Ratna Pathak Shah) are perfect choices for Amrita’s parents. They are such a lovely couple.

Each and every character is flawlessly selected. Story development genuinely pulls out our vehement feelings. Direction is highly appreciative. Music gives enough life to the movie.

After watching all the characters' perspective, you will never ask - Is this all for a single slap?.

This movie conveyed so many messages about domestic violence, outdated genre expectations and also the decade of conditions we must follow as per the majority of the population. It also tells us – respect and happiness are important to each person. And of course true love too.

Overall, this movie is a well crafted message conveying one of society’s biggest issues.

I highly recommend this movie to all those who really want to understand the meaning of a relationship and also to the admirers of a good message movie.

Happy watching!!!
