Sanju (2018)



My View 
Movie: Sanju (2018)
Genre: Biopic / Action
Runtime: 160 minutes

Sanju is a Biographical film on actor Sanjay Dutt's life. The film was largely based on two tracks, one is the drugs episode (Pre-interval) and the other is the gun episode (Post-interval) and how he fought these two battles. 

The main lead Ranbir Kapoor has put huge effort to play the role of Sanjay dutt and it was a perfect choice, he lived into the character. Sometimes you truly feel that Sanjay dutt is doing his own biopic. His emotional scenes with Paresh Rawal and Vickey Kaushal were touching. Paresh Rawal as Sunil Dutt and Manisha Korirala as Nargis Dutt have done true justice to their characters. Vickey kaushal as Kamalesh has do a tremendous job. His comic timing, emotions and drama with Ranbir were top class. This role gives him lot of opportunities in near future. The negative role Zubin played by Jim sarbh lived up to expectations. Main lead was well supported by Boman Irani, Dia Mirza, Sonam Kapoor and Anushka Sharma.

It is difficult to make a movie on a person whose life was unsuccessful but Rajkumar Hirani as a director and Editor has done it. Rajkumar’s screenplay with Abhijat Joshi filled with well crafted drama, comedy and emotions. They have done a commendable job. The music of AR Rahman, Rohan Rohan and Vikram Montrose was good, in which "Kar Har Maidaan Fateh" song stands out. Background score by Sanjay Wandrekar and Atul Raninga sets the mood of the film. Cinematography by Ravi Varman was great he has taken every detail to give true feel of 80’s and 90’s era. Art work was commendable so as the production values.

The makers haven’t glorified Sanjay’s image in this movie, but one may doubt the truth in it. Finally I can say that the terrific acting by Ranbir Kapoor, Paresh Rawal and Vicky Kaushal makes audience emotionally immense into the film. 

Definitely watchable movie – 4 / 5 Stars

Movie:  Darbar   (2020) Genre:   Action Thriller Runtime:  2hr 30mins Writer and director: A.R. Murugadoss Rajinikanth played the principle character Aditya Arunachalam a police commissioner who solves cases related to drug mafia and women trafficking in Mumbai.  Performance’s wise Rajini’s screen presence and dialogue delivery were extraordinary; he single handedly carried this film on his shoulders. All the hero elevation scenes and action blocks are treat to watch. Nayanthara’s role is incomplete and her performance is just ok. Nivetha Thomas finest role in recent times. Her performance as Rajinikanth Daughter was laudable. She shines in the character and her emotional scenes in the hospital with rajini are praiseworthy. Sunil shetty as villain is a bad choice, his acting and dialogue delivery falls flat and rest of the cast performances are just ok. Director Murugadoss showcased Rajinikanth in a prefect fashion. He highlighted Rajini’...

After 25 years truth will be revealed to Allu Arjun and rest of the story is how he unconventionally settles down things in his authentic family. Allu Arjun totally lived into the Devraj character and he is exceptional in hero elevation scenes. His acting and dances are as usually admirable and his action sequences are worthy. Pooja Hegde looks beautiful and has done decent job. Her romantic tract with allu arjun has come out well. Murali sharma as vamiki has done fantastic job, his role with negative shades has tremendous importance in the story. Samuthirani as Appalanaidu was ok; director should have etched his character properly. This film features assembled cast in which Jayaram stands out. Tabu as Jayaram’s wife was just ok. ...

Movie:  HIT – The First Case  (2020) Language: Telugu Genre:   Investigative Thriller Runtime:  2hr 6min Writer and director:  Sailesh Kolanu  The film starts with an eighteen year old girl, Preethi’s strange disappearance. Few months after that Neha (Ruhani Sharma) will also be missing in similar pattern. Vikram Rudra Raju (Vishwak sen) an aggressive police officer begins the investigation and find outs the culprit. Vishwak Sen was perfectly casted in the role of Vikram (a H omicide I ntervention T eam Cop). He has given settled performance and mostly impressive. His acting in post-traumatic attack scenes was realistic. Ruhani Sharma has done decent role and rest of the casting is perfect and believable. Director Sailesh’s (debutant) narration is gripping and from beginning to end it is clean investigative thriller needless to say he didn’t deviate from the plot. The way he introduces the protagonist character as good, intelligent...
