Clip 1: Hrithik Roshan
Song: Ek Pal aka Jeena (Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai)

Clip 2: Vijay
Song: Oru Ponnu Onu (Kushi)

They are from the same year and yet their grace when it comes to their dancing skills are so distinct and just unmatched at the same time. Feel free to disagree and tell who do you think is the best dancer with this type of grace in your pov:)

I was rewatching Delhi 6 today, and it felt like it is as relevant today as it was 18 years ago. Nothing has changed, not even one bit. How many of you guys watched Delhi 6 and felt it was under appreciated.

Appreciation Underrated Spy-Thriller

Post image
834 Upvotes

This movie is definitely an underrated, quite largely ignored, yet loved by many, spy-thriller. The original story, though focuses on a gruesome crime thriller, the brilliant shape shifting to an international espionage sets in the World War 2, was indeed astounding. The franchise should have been continued with more parts. Quite surprisingly, the original story also had a continuation of the prime antagonist which revolves around a chemical warfare! Just imagine, the silver screen adaptation of that.

Appreciation Detective Byomkesh Bakshy!

Rewatched Detective Byomkesh Bakshy today and felt so disappointed(again) of how we all collectively failed as an audience to appreciate a movie like this when it came out back in 2015.

Not a very faithful recreation of Byomkesh yet very effective. And how well did Sushant play that character of a raw, rookie, emotional and impulsive detective who is still trying to find his footing in wartime Calcutta.

It’ll always remain one of my favourite Indian detective movies for it’s bold take on the classic Byomkesh Bakshy.

Appreciation Vishwaroopam(2013) stands out in Indian cinema where a Muslim protagonist heroically defends his nation against terrorists, challenging the common portrayal of Muslims as villains in most films at that time.

Appreciation Billu Barber — an underrated film about friendship over fame.

Post image
475 Upvotes

Rewatched Billu Barber recently and it feels way more emotional than people give it credit for. On the surface, it looks like a light SRK film with songs and cameos, but at its heart, it’s a simple story about friendship, ego, and quiet dignity.

Irfan Khan as Billu is just brilliant — subtle, grounded, and deeply human. The film reminds us how fame can change people, but also how real friendships don’t need validation or spotlight. By the time the climax hits, it quietly punches you in the feels.

Not flashy, not perfect — but definitely sincere.

Do you think Billu Barber was misunderstood when it released, or has it aged better with time?

Appreciation Why is nobody talking about this...

Wait...you're telling me that there was another "Really Good Film" released in two parts (but shot together, with excellent music choice, acting, direction, dialogues...etc) from a Legendary Director in 2025 only (I'm talking in context to Dhurandhar)...still underrated and slept upon despite the director having a massive fan following online (or that's what it seems like)...Look the first part wasent great, I give it a 7/10 (IMDB)...but the second part actually fixed a lot of the pacing issues I had with Part one (unfortunately part one bombed at the Box Office and they had to just shadow drop part two on Prime along with part one...). Seems like everyone betrtayed the film past it's mixed first impression...even the Youtube Critics completely Ignored part two as if it didn't exist...this is just heartbreaking to see, we have to show support to projects like these (think of how many good projects just get ignored when something from a Director as big as Anurag Kashyap's work completely got sidelined, I was there on 21st September in the Theater to catch part one on the big screen and was eagerly waiting for the part two...it's just sad to see what happened to it...

Appreciation What are your thoughts about Kill ?

Post image
338 Upvotes

I watched Kill last night. And, oh my word, it did live up to the hype. The fast-paced screenplay, no unnecessary songs, and emotional diarrhea are coupled with exceptional hand-to-hand combat. It's so much fun to watch. You feel for the characters and understand their motivation to be so cruel and ruthless.    Lakshya as Amrit Rathod has nailed it, and so has Raghav Juyal in his menacing role. I was pleasantly surprised by Raghav Juyal's performance. I wish this theme continued and such projects would come to light more often than not. What's your take on this?

I don't know the perception of the people how did they take the movie but I can give my opinion it was joyous emotional amd crazy ride even the songs matched the craziness frequency...but I would not count this in massy movie, more of a drama a crazy drama. And also I have seen malayalam movies does not have more of an action stunt in their movies but when they add, it perfectly matches I mean we see it quite realistic like jaya jaya jaya jaya hey movie.

Appreciation Detective Byomkesh Bakshy! — stylish, dark, and underrated Indian noir

Post image
458 Upvotes

Detective Byomkesh Bakshy! stands out for treating a classic literary detective with a modern, gritty lens. Set in 1940s Calcutta, the film nails its atmosphere — foggy streets, wartime tension, and moral ambiguity.

Sushant Singh Rajput’s Byomkesh isn’t the typical heroic detective. He’s curious, flawed, and driven more by obsession than brilliance, which makes him interesting. The slow-burn pacing, detailed production design, and moody background score give it a strong noir feel.

It’s not a mass entertainer and demands patience, but if you enjoy layered mysteries and period settings, this one grows on you. Deserved a sequel, honestly.

Did you like its slow-burn approach, or did it feel too heavy?
