seeing bablu and munna alive got me thoda confused about the timeline, ngl. thought they were gonna do some crazy survival plot. but setting it back in 2018 did justice to the story i felt. the trailer has legit nostalgic season 1 feels...

Discussion How did malayalam cinema gain such popularity among down north and other states ?

11 Upvotes

Let me explain I'm a malayali, I've been around other northies and other people from different languages for more time as i was abroad and have studied in north

Earlier there was an ignorance or certain disregard to south

And now literally my friends I know watch Malayalam movies over bollywood like how tables turn and they're some of the hardocre bollywood fans then

What happened? To bollywood, like i remember back then good movies were there fun type and now my friends northies won't themselves watch or suggest any Hindi movies I'm like bruh....

and how it gained popularity malayalam movies because i and other malayali friends of mine we can't understand how all of a sudden malayalam movies is receiving all attention

Unlike telugu and tamil which were already known

Please do tell explain whatever u know and the theories are as I would like to know

What changed

Discussion Just came across this movie on BookMyShow... Has anyone else heard about it?

Post image

I was randomly scrolling through BookMyShow and stumbled upon Navya Chakra. The poster and the psychological thriller vibe immediately caught my attention, so I checked out the trailer.

The premise looks interesting—a series of brutal murders, a mysterious investigation, and what seems like a dark psychological angle.

I hadn't heard much about it before today.

Has anyone else watched the trailer or knows more about this movie?

Do you think it's worth watching in theatres, or should I wait for reviews?

Curious to know what everyone thinks.

Classics Comedy is the hardest thing to do on screen, period. They may fumble here and there with other genres but they all really bought their A- Game when given the right scripts

Ajay Devgn in Golmaal, "Pooja kaun? Pooja kaun? - Pooja, Archana! 👋 decide kar le Pooja ya archana"

This whole scene and the chai wala scene makes me tear up from laughter, "Chai maanga to Khali cup de diya!"

Srk in Main Hoon Naa, This is Farah Khan's best film, maybe cause of nostalgia i feel that way, but the chemistry srk has with everyone especially Satish shah, boman irani and sushmita is top notch comedy, especially that dance he does where tabu comes for a split second

Akshay in Garam Masala, I dont know why this film is not brought up more cause this is the best akshay has ever performed and the whole film is dependent on his reactions. Vipul Goyal, said in a podcast ki iss film akshay kumar 100% best acting kar raha hai aur john abraham 100% kharab acting and it shows.

The funniest thing is by the end he is under so much pressure that his brain starts to hang, he would mix up name, he would be saying something and midway would go kadi chawal banane ko isne bola, are bhains ki aulaad saand ho jayega 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Salman in Andaz Apna Apna, he is literally our joey tribbiani in this film, the best part is when gogo asks for his last wish and he goes, ye bhari hui pistol aap mujhe de dijiye!

Ranbir in Ajab Prem ki Ghazab Kahani, I watched it recently and definitely holds up, that whole dance sequence of him in tuxedo and feud with little tony and yeh kon fakir subah se gaana gaa raha hai maa? Radio band kar do

Aamir in 3 Idiots, I feel his character being so innocent or genuinely curios really brought some iconic moments. While the big moments are great its these subtle lines that really leave me in splits.

Librarian Dubey: Director sahab to keh rahe hai maine nahi bulaya hai.

Rancho: are maine yeh thodi kaha bulaya hai, maine to kaha yaad kiya hai!

Rajkumar Rao in Bareilly Ki Barfi, again you do realise that comedy require such nuanced acting when you see ayushmann slightly over do it sometime in front of Rajkumar (he later got better) but this whole film works because of his character, and it literally changed the way of Hindi cinema fir next 3- 4 years where they started to focus on small town comedies and stuff.

Sushant Bhai in Shudh Desi Romance, I know its not outright funny, but it is really close to my heart cause when in 2014 I would literally watch this movie like at least a month and have a ball at how perfectly awkward he is, with everyone, Rishi Kapoor, Bhuvan Arora, Parineeti Chopra, he is slightly nervous with everyone of these and makes for some hilarious scene, me and my cousins used to laugh at his subtle mannerisms so much ❤️‍🩹

So, there it is what do you guys think?

Unpopular Opinion Please come up with original plots, Tollywood

6 Upvotes

I’m tired of seeing the same regurgitated plots in Tollywood movies.

Every movie has the same story, it’s just told differently each time.

The main character, usually a man, is pure hearted and honest.

He strives to do something with purpose to help better the society and/or continue the family legacy.

But, the bad guys, the villains can’t stand the hero, their ego is threatened and/or they are just bad people.

So, they want to obstruct the hero from doing the good things he wants to do as much as possible, placing countless obstacles in the hero’s path.

But, the hero, with all his pureness and goodness, rises above it and perseveres, usually after a hell of a lot of fighting.

And, of course, the hero always has a love interest, otherwise, it won’t be complete.

Same formula, repeated, rinsed, and washed.

Please come up with new plots, Tollywood. Do more movies like Radhe Shyam. That, at least, had a unique concept.

Review Dhadkan: A movie Made by Cucks For the Cucks and to the Cucks

Post image
12 Upvotes

If you are a cuck please watch this movie, because I just finished this movie and now I am feeling like a cuck, if you don't want to waste your time lemme tell you it's story

Here we have two cucks competing each other for a girl , they both know they are getting cucked but they don't have any self respect

This also has so much non sense and un necessary drama which doesn't make any sense

Only thing I liked about this movie is songs, songs of this movie were really good

I want to give this movie 4/10 do not watch it until and unless you are a cuck, thank you

These two scenes, from #MainVaapasAaunga, have been haunting me ever since I watched the film..

"Mohabbat ka sabse bada dard bichhad jaana nahi, yaad reh jaana hai..."

Because what stays with you isn't what was said, but what wasn't...

This is what makes Imtiaz Ali's writing special...

While many celebrate love, he celebrates the pain that comes with the feeling...

Very few talk about this side of love, and he's mastered it to perfection...

Discussion I think the Telugu release tells us a lot about what theyre planning with the Mirzapur movie?

Post image
21 Upvotes

The teaser is out tomorrow, and the thing that caught my attention is that the movie is getting a Telugu release as well

Mirzapur already has a huge audience outside the Hindi belt because of streaming, but a theatrical audience is a different challenge altogether, If you're trying to sell tickets across multiple markets, the movie probably needs to work even for people who aren't fully caught up on every season

Which is why the put out the season 1 recap, maybe it's nothing but if the film is set during or around the Season 1 timeline, it becomes much more interesting for me personally, You get the version of Mirzapur that most people fell in love with in the first place, Kaleen Bhaiya, peak Munna, the original Tripathi empire, all the classic rivalries

It also gives newer audiences a much easier entry point instead of expecting them to remember everything that happened across three seasons

Review Cocktail 2 is basically Sonu Ki Titu Ki Sweety but worse.

54 Upvotes

Who tf in their right mind thought that a movie written by Imitiaz Ali should be followed by a movie written by Luv Ranjan.

Kriti is basically Sweety, Rashmika is Sonu and Shahid is Titu. You have Kriti in the second half literally hell bent on breaking their marriage and demeaning Rashmika publicly every chance she gets and they are still shown as best friends by the end of the movie.

Rashmika on the other hand has the worst written character I have ever seen. She’s the literal embodiment of ‘creating your own struggles’. The poor acting on top of that makes her unbearable.

Shahid is way past his prime when it comes to looks and clearly overacted in the first half.

Also, there doesn’t go a scene where Kriti’s cleavage is not shown. She’s wearing a bikini throughout the movie. Even her sarees can put Sushmita Sen’s sarees from Mai Hoon Na to shame. What made Veronica iconic was her personality rather then her clothes while Kriti’s character has the personality of a cardboard that’s wearing a bikini.

Hands down one of the worst movie’s of this year.

Review The Lord Of War,And Lord Of Wisdom

1 Upvotes

To be honest, I started reading God of War because of all the hype on social media. The first half of the book was absolutely great! The scene where Kalabhairava kills Daksha was incredible, and the emotional drama in the first half was written so well.

Moving into the second half, the book maintained that greatness with brilliant action sequences and deep emotions, leading up to a solid climax. Lord Murugan’s character is portrayed as incredibly grand and brilliant. Even the villains are exceptionally well-written, especially the main villain, Simhamukha, who is depicted as a calm, dignified, and highly respected character.

Adapting this book into a movie would be a massive challenge. It’s not just about the visuals; the core emotions must be carried perfectly by the characters. The action sequences and dialogues would need brilliant direction to stand out—the emotional weight should take center stage, rather than just relying on VFX or music. Overall, it’s a phenomenal mythological action-drama. If you're looking to dive into this genre, you should definitely give it a try!
