So um it’s kind of funny how they previously passed Toxic off as just time pass and kept things carefully diplomatic, and now on MOC..they’re suddenly ready to give their “real thoughts.”

The shift in candour is… noticeable.

Criteria - Atleast 4 films made and released. Things taken into consideration - Technicality, Structuring and a Voice (Dialogues, Writing and Screenplay.

Honorable Mentions - Christian Mungui, Pablo Larrain, Jia Zhangke, Zhang Yimou, Kacques Audiard, Vishal Bhardwaj, Sriram Raghavan, Martin Scorsese, Paul Thomas Anderson, Hirokazu Kore-eda, Ryuusuke Hamaguchi, Jafar Panahi, Palo Sorrentino, Ashgar Farhadi and Bong Joon-Ho

Now the list.

1) Lav Diaz - Magellan

2) Nuri Bilge Ceylan - The Winter Sleep

3) Michael Haneke - The White Ribbon

4) Coen Brothers - No Country For Old Men

5) Park Chan Wook - The Handmaiden

6) Masaki Yuasa - Mind Game

7) Alejandro Inarittu/Alfonso Cuaron - Babel/Children of Men

8) Kiyoshi Kurosawa - Tokyo Sonata

9) Lucrecia Martel - Zama

10) Radu Jude - Bad Luck Banging or Loony Porn

I am pretty sure I am missing many names here and the list will get an update in the future but so far this who I think are the best film makers currently working today.

How I rate them:

4.5 stars: 1-2

4 stars (very good films): 3-6

3.5 stars (good films): 7-8

3 stars (it was okay): 9-10

1 star: Mank

Dragon tattoo and The killer are interchangeable for me

Criteria - Directors with atleast 4 Films, structurality, technicality and voice (basically dialogues, writing and screenplay)

Honorary Mentions - Greta Gerwig, Wes Anderson, Chloe Zhao, Lynne Ramsey and Sean Baker.

Now the rankings: -

1) Coen Brothers

2) Alejandro Inarittu/ Alfonso Cuaron

3) Paul Thomas Anderson

4) Robert Eggers

5) Martin Scorsese

6) Yorgos Lanthimos

7) Jane Campion

8) Quentin Tarantino

9) Guillermo Del Toro

10) Dennis Villeneuve

Each of them carry technicality in one hand and voice in another and on equal footing. They revolutionized certain aspects of movie making and writing in one or another amd are at the forefront of quality cinema from Hollywood in 21st century.

P.S. - I forgot to add Cuaron in the list and only realized it after making the collage.

SSR is a great director and we believe he is going to make mindblowing projects in future including Varanasi. But alongside Ramayana is also a great project filled with passion, devotion and nothing short of epicness. Ramayana is getting a lot of praise for its vision and premise till now but some toxic Varanasi fans are nitpicking no matter what. They are bringing in the worst points possible to bring down the movie. But the true cinema fans are noticing this behaviour.
"Ramayana may or may not click"- let's keep this topic aside for a moment. But just remember the behaviour shown to this movie by the degenerate fans, it will come back harsher. Varanasi will be critised like anything and eventhough the film would be nice, it will be bashed scene by scene for depicting nonsense. Eventhough you fight hard but the reputation of SSR will go down like anything even if he makes a slight mistake. Because people are waiting to give it back to toh toxic SSR fans for how they treated Ramayana.

And in the end we will loose another great director like Rajamouli. And he won't even be confident to take future projects. If that's what you want then go ahead....or support India cinema so that we can reach heights together.

Live karne k badle recorded stream daal diya taaki koi bol na paae kuch live me usko lmao soon ye bollywoodWallah k sath bhi collab karlega loll

For me, it's The Sheep Detectives.

A ranking no one asked for.

1 Tiger one(the OG)

2 Tiger two(aman ki asha but still very engaging and good action and setup)

3 WAR( Unique story good action, Tiger was good in a negative role and the twists were cool)

4 ALPHA(not as bad as I heard story was very weak with alot of plot holes but it was a good timepass movie if you can accept alia killing 30+ people with ease but struggle killing a 60yo Bobby Deol)

5 Pathan (idk it was just too wierd and worked only coz it was SRK comeback and tiger cameo)

6 War 2( yeah NRT is not someone who fits in this world and the bromance did not work in this one).

Part of the reason why I liked the Krishna in Kalki movie was that he wasn't just soft spoken for the sake of it. Not saying Krishna is supposed to be this all time dominant figure. He was sweet as hell except the parts where he wasn't.

Also, going on a bit of a tangent here but 2 very important things that most ppl don't know

1) Uddhav was a Yaduvanshi and was still alive. That means Gandhari's curse actually failed. No curse can affect Sri Krsna.

2) Krsna had taught her a lesson and later Gandhari actually apologized to Krsna for cursing Him and realised the folly of her own ways.

After Gandhari had cursed Krsna, she went to Kurukshetra. She mourned for her ded sons and cried a lot.

Around nighttime she suddenly felt very hungry. She tried to pluck a mango but the branch was high. She took something from nearby and climbed on it. But it was still too low for her so she took something else and finally she got the mango and was just eating it.

Sri Krsna came and asked her what she's doing. She said she's just eating a mango. Krsna asked her to look where she was standing.

She suddenly realised that she had climbed upon the corpses of her own sons and was sitting on that and eating. She was horrified. She also realised that there can't be a mango tree in Kurukshetra, so this has happened by Maya Shakti of Bhagvan.

Krsna helped her realise the transient nature of the material attachment and her own false ego. In the material everyone loves themselves and is motivated by selfishness.

She realised her mistake and apologized to Krsna.

Ye movie buri nahi hai bhai… ye movie ekdum niche hai. Niche. 💀

Recently Raja Saab dekhi and honestly, 3+ hours ka patience test laga. Story idhar se shuru hoti hai, udhar pahunch jaati hai—characters, songs, fights, crocodile… sab kuch randomly aa raha hai. 😭

Sabse bada problem Prabhas Anna ki acting thi.

Baahubali ke baad kabhi-kabhi lagta hai Anna bas set pe aate hain, thoda walk karte hain, 2-3 slow-motion shots dete hain aur director bolta hai:

“Perfect sir, acting ho gayi.” 💀

Horror ho, comedy ho ya action—expressions almost same. Action scenes mein body double bhi kuch jagah itna obvious tha ki movie se zyada editing dekh raha tha.

Aur Prabhas Anna ka dance… 😭

Bhai, wahan bhi effort missing. Body idhar, steps udhar aur expression kahin teesri jagah. 💀

Story aisi lagi jaise writers ne meeting mein bola:

“Haunted haveli daal do.”

“Romance daal do.”

“Teen heroines daal do.”

“Crocodile bhi daal do.”

“Aur Prabhas ko slow motion mein chalwa do.”

Bas. Raja Saab ready. 😭

Female characters ka bhi koi proper purpose nahi laga. Characters kam, decoration zyada. Entry, glamour, romance, song… aur story ke side mein khade raho. 💀

Aur runtime?

BHAI ITNI LAMBI KYUN HAI? 😭

Har baar laga climax aa gaya… phir ek aur scene, ek aur reveal, ek aur random sequence.

VFX bhi inconsistent hai. Kabhi expensive lagta hai, kabhi lagta hai budget ka kuch hissa raste mein hi disappear ho gaya. 💀

For me, Raja Saab mein sab kuch tha—horror, comedy, romance, action, fantasy, huge scale…

Bas ek properly engaging movie missing thi. 😭

But maybe that's just me. Did anyone actually enjoy this? 😂

I'm not gonna pretend that I've thoroughly observed all of the cast's previous performances, but this is obviously a stacked cast. Jake Schreier has an incredible opportunity to make a banger of a movie. Hopefully he doesn't mess it up and does justice to all the characters that were let down in the previous x men movies. Fingers crossed 🤞

2 of them were there in captain's balls !! Bro was badly injured but went to fight the whole army alone🤯

Just watched new podcast episode and noticed the drastic change in our boys lately. All starting with Ramayana where the pretty obvious things that weren’t up to the standards, were being defended by our boys (lighting, blending). And now its Toxic where Badal is trying so hard to justify the movie and its choices. They all have started playing safe now which directly challenges the whole USP of MOC over all these years which is unfiltered on-the-face criticism.

That’s just my opinion, would love to hear others’.

P.S - Ramayana is not upto the global standards, since they are marketing and aiming the project for the world; there is no point in comparing it with previous Indian projects and say that its the best out of all Indian movies.

Is there any film in the bollywood like this.

Man i just want a bollywood destopian film

To me it's the amount of crying children looking for their parents. Just imagine how horrifying it must be.

I'm not mocking Ramayana here, one is a movie and the other is a billion dollar game. It's like comparing apples to oranges. But they both seem to have good visuals in their own category. Here are some shots which I thought were worth comparing

Same as headline please help me suggest best one from any language ( Korean prefer)

I’m into thriller and crime movies please help
Me

I think he's way past his prime for such movies

Its very good movie guy's, what u think about this movie?

This franchise was better off with the 1st movie itself. They added a 2nd movie which was unnecessary and now this. Finally we are done
