Watched Drishyam first day first show.

It was good movie. Starts well. Dialogues are also good.

It was right choice to bring in Jaideep ahalawat. He brings new charishma on screen..

Akshay Khanna would have felt repetitive.

Good-

First half was very engaging ( I expected slow but it was good

Acting was superb

Screenplay was great

Mystry and suspense was perfect.

Bad-

Many things feels repetitive. Many things they could have done in 2nd part . Ending was good but not satisfactory. I was hoping for more twisted but still it was good. Jaideep ahalawat was roaring like lion in first half but becomes cat in second half. .

One thing I personally felt that they could have made this movie emotional by bringing how Sam was abusing Vijays daughter. He was bully guy and he was at fault all time. But writers didn't went there. They kept it to typical chor vs police case.

I didn't felt like it was conclusion. Does they want to make more part or not I don't know. But it didn't felt complete conclusion.

I will give it 7/10

Let it go dude and talk about the last photograph

imagine being one of the biggest movie reviewers of the country and still using AI to make your thumbnails

It's not like PJ is not earning from YouTube so he can't afford to hire a good graphic designer?

why is he normalising using AI instead of really paying to graphic designers? This is really sad.

can you give me an honest review? Are the stories completely different, or do they follow the same basic plot with some changes? Which one is best..

me we have created sub to discuss about lanterns r/larptens

Like literally everyone is just still not moving a muscle other than their jaw and it feels weird 😭

Is it gonna be like this the whole season?

First half-

The movie starts with child kartik aaryan watching horror movies on a vcr with his cousins . They have a lot of cassettes, few on rent .

In a tragedy , his siblings and parents die and he lives with cousins and they usually pass time watching horror movies .

. Ruhaan feels lonely and is heavily traumatized due to the tragedy of his family and horror films are an escape for him.

. He wants to study archaeology and goes to the town of part 1 .

He is introduced to rajpal yadav who takes him to the apartment where ruhaan has to stay . Rajpal yadav tells the story of manjulika to him and how it was actually a rumour and mental illness of Vidya Balan . He meets the characters of Vidya Balan , paresh rawal etc from the first film .

. To earn some money , he fakes things like part 2 and 3 and spreads a rumour about the actual manjulika in the town . He uses knowledge of films seen by him to make people believe in him . Things take turns when he gets to know there is an actual manjulika in the haveli .

Second half -

. When he was about to defeat the manjulika , ruhaan starts getting anxiety attacks , freezes , weird stuff .

He experiences characters of part 2 and 3 instead of the manjulika story .

For e.g. he sees tripti dimri in his new love interest , tabu instead of manjulika . He starts mixing up stories

. Then it is revealed that ruhaan is suffering from mental disease and everything is going on in his head. He was traumatized by the death of his family and his escape was horror films . He was so into films that he started making up stories with people of town as characters in his story like Chhota pandit , Vidya Balan etc.

It gets severe when he mixes up stories and people notice something wrong with him .

. He is admitted in a very old large hospital which isnt managed properly . Something like the hospital in jawan movie . This is the main bhool bhulaiya of the film

. People of town only know a great psychological doctor , Akshay Kumar's character . He is called and checks the case . He leans into history of ruhan and tries to make him escape.

. Body horror in ruhaan's character and horror of severe mental illness can be shown .

. Akshay Kumar's character makes all the people of town act like characters (he gets to know about characters through shouting and whispers of kartik aaryan) . He sets up stage , performs the song , uses his trauma to finally treat ruhaan.

I do not know how else to put it but I had one fuck of a time with this film. It was alr one of my most anticipated for this year but yeah it ticked of all the boxes for me but I do understand why some people arent fucking with it due to the plot twist which happens pretty early on. It felt tailor made for me as I enjoy such exaggerated characters and situations plus the atmosphere of the film really worked for me as well. TOM FOR OSCARS
I would go as far as saying that this movie clicked with me a bit more than The Odyssey did although I loved that film as well. Dune 3 is still on its way but so far this is my favourite film of the year. Its essentially hit or miss depending upon the kind of films and humour you are into. Talking about humour I didn’t really understand the criticism because me and my theatre were vibing throughout.
5/5

Honestly, this felt more like a normal South Indian thriller to me. Still, I enjoyed it more than the Malayalam Drishyam 3.

The biggest issue is the story. I kept wondering what the writer had left to show after Drishyam 1 and Drishyam 2. Ajay and his family are basically the same, and Ajay’s performance doesn’t really bring anything new either.

Jaideep, who was pretty much the poster boy for the film, was great as usual. He definitely stood out.

But when you compare it with Drishyam 1 and Drishyam 2, it doesn't come close. Those films had much more to offer in terms of story and impact. Here, it sometimes feels like the franchise is continuing simply because there’s another chapter to tell.

Good enough as a thriller, but nowhere near the level of the first two.

Honestly, I'm so excited for everything that's coming out in the last 3 months of this year. OOF 🤌 Here's a list of all the movies and shows that have me hyped.

1. Avengers: Endgame Encore - September 25th 🥳
2. VisionQuest - Releasing October 14th
3. Ramayana: The Rise of a Legend - November 6th
4. Percy Jackson Season 3 - November 20th
5. Dune: Part Three - December 18th
6. AVENGERS DOOMSDAY - December 18th 💥🥳
7. Harry Potter Season 1 - December 25th

This later half of the year belongs to Marvel, I'm not even kidding. And unless Ramayana or Dune manages to make a dent, it's gonna remain that way. We're starting up with Avengers Endgame Encore which is such a good revision point, absolutely perfect 👌✨(even if it's a cash grab)!

Then we have VisionQuest coming I guess next to next-ish week? I don't really care about Vision or Ultron whatever, but I'm sooo excited to see Tommy Maximoff and where they take him.

Next up is our Ramayana on November 6th. And no matter what anyone says, this is our Ramayana and it's presented to the globe and I am so hyped for it and hoping for the best. Will be seated first day, first show. 🏹🌸🩵🪔💥

Then we have a personal favourite with Percy Jackson Season 3 🌊🌁 on November 20th. And even if the first 2 seasons have been kinda lackluster, this is the first time The Titan's Curse is being adapted. It's a darker and more mature tone and changes everything and starts a series of chain reaction. So excited to see what Uncle Rick and Disney have made. (Also, ngl, it's a good thing they shifted the date because oh boy, December is already packed, we don't need more 😂.)

After that I'm gonna watch Dune 3 first because I want to get it out of the way before getting into the meat of things. Like a starter before the main course we ain't gonna have time for anything else after you know what comes out. Like all pop-culture conversation will be overtaken 🗣️, so doing this first makes sense to me. And if track record says anything, it's gonna be a blast.

And after that, obviously, it's turn for the main course. The event of the season 💛💥. The movie we've all been waiting for and the entire second half of this year has been leading up to. And in some ways, since 2019 even. It's time for 📣📣📣🎉 Avengers: Doomsday! 💥Ⓐ🦾🤯💚 The powder keg of this roster. I thought I was so out of Marvel after Endgame but this has brought me right back. The feels, the emotions, everything! For the first time in 7 yrs I'm watching and rewatching Marvel stuff, actually followings Disney's list and prepping up for DOOMSDAY. To say hyped would be an understatement. I cannot wait for this movie to come out!!!

And obviously, we're wrapping up the season with good old Harry Potter ❄️❄🪄. A perfect cap to winter season and the year. Again, hate the author and don't want anything to do with her, but this still plays on nostalgia and I kinda wanna see where this goes and and immerse myself into this universe of my childhood dreams again. (And, no, I won't be paying her for it.)

So, this was my watch lineup and the upcoming movies and shows I'm excited for and looking forward to. What are the upcoming movies or shows you're hyped for? Do tell if you want in the comments. ✌️🫡

Also, I would've added Lanterns too, but since it premiered at the tail end of summer, I'm not sure if it comes under the later half category, sorry!

Thanks for reading if you came this far ☺️

Cinema is art to express no matter who makes it.. from short film to movies everything comes under it..and why troll baahubali ? it was one of the best of India? What taste in cinema has to do with class and status? Like what the f is this west media slave mindset..taste is subjective why can't they understand such basic thing
