Thangalaan Movie Review: The film works because of its concept and Pa Ranjith's execution.

 Thangalaan Movie Review Synopsis: THANGALAAN follows the narrative of a brave guy. The year is 1850. Thangalaan (Chiyaan Vikram) is the Veppur village leader, who lives with his wife Gangamma (Parvathy Thiruvothu) and their four children. Despite his position as chief, he is forced to labor as a bonded labourer. The zamindar's (Vettai Muthukumar) soldiers set fire to his farm, destroying his produce. He is unable to pay taxes and is compelled to relinquish his land. This is when Lord Clement (Daniel Caltagirone), a British officer, comes in Veppur. He is looking for gold in a nearby region and asks the Veppur people for assistance because he is aware of their ancestral ability in locating it. Everyone initially refuses, claiming that the gold mine area is filled with ghosts. Thangalaan's great-grandfather, Kaadaiyan (Chiyaan Vikram), was also an expert. Thangalaan agrees, and a few villagers accompany him in the gold-finding mission. Thangalaan, on the other hand, suffers from hallucinations of Aarathi (Malavika Mohanan), a sorceress and defender of the gold field. What occurs next determines the rest of the film.

Thangalaan Movie plot Review:

Pa Ranjith and Tamil Praba's plot is creative and unique. Pa Ranjith and Tamil Praba's screenplay has flaws, but it is thorough, engaging, and addresses some significant subjects. Azhagiya Periyavan's dialogue is crisp. However, the Hindi-dubbed dialogues fall short of expectations.

Pa Ranjith's direction is exceptional. There is no doubt that he is technically proficient. He has previously employed sound, mood, camerawork, and other techniques to create a distinct cinematic experience, and THANGALAAN is no exception. The moment in the pre-climax that transitions from night to day and back again demonstrates his creative ability. He also offers the film a commercial approach while avoiding the common cliches seen in mass entertainment. He does everything his own way. While doing so, he discusses caste atrocities and avarice, which contributes significantly to the picture.

On the other hand, in numerous instances, the film becomes overly weighty and even untidy. There is a lot going on, and the audience may become overwhelmed as they assimilate everything. The film is also quite abstract, and despite commercial components, it is not your standard mass-appeal film. These two reasons would limit the attractiveness.

Thangalaan Movie Review Performances:

Chiyaan Vikram becomes unrecognizable. His change is incredible, and his performance is nothing short of spectacular. He has delivered some outstanding performances, and this is undoubtedly one of his greatest. Parvathy Thiruvothu gets into character and appears to be a poor peasant. She also has a significant role and performs admirably. Malavika Mohanan has a minimal screen time but steals the show. She is an excellent fit for the role. Daniel Caltagirone is amazing. Vettai Muthukumar is barely present. Hari Krishnan (Varada), Preeti Karan (Arasani), Arjun Anbudan (Asoka), and others provide valuable support.

Thangalaan music and technical aspects:

G V Prakash Kumar's music is not chartbuster and may not appeal to the Hindi audience. The film's tracks, including 'Murga Murgi', 'Katai Ghana', 'Koi To Aae Raah Dikhae', and the title song, fail to attract. G V Prakash Kumar's background score is significantly better.

Kishor Kumar's cinematography is stunning. The action in Stunner Sam is a little gory, but it works well for this type of picture. The outfits worn by Aegan Ekambaram and Anitha Sundaresan are not glamorous, but rather realistic and rustic. S S Murthi's art direction is thoroughly researched. Hybrid 360's visual effects are exceptional. Selva R K's editing could have been smoother and faster-paced.

Thangalaan Movie Review Conclusion:

The film's concept, execution by Pa Ranjith, and award-winning performance by Chiyaan Vikram contribute to its overall success. However, this is not your usual mainstream entertainer. As a result, its Hindi adaptation will require strong word-of-mouth from its target population to be successful at the box office.

Dunki Movie Review: DUNKI bears the Rajkumar Hirani stamp of filmmaking with the right message and emotions.

Dunki Review {3.5/5} & Review Rating

DUNKI is the story of four youths trying to fly abroad for a better life. The year is 1995. Army officer Hardayal Singh Dhillon aka Hardy (Shah Rukh Khan) arrives in Laltu, Punjab to meet Mahendar, who saved his life. He reaches his house and finds out that Mahendar is no more.  Mahendar lost a golden opportunity in sports while trying to save Hardy and then passed away in an accident. Hardy takes it upon himself to help Mahendar's family. Mahendar's sister Manu (Taapsee Pannu) asks Hardy to help her with wrestling. This is because she wants to go to the UK to earn and win back her house that her father had lost due to non-payment of a loan. An agent has assured her that she can be sent on a sports visa and hence, she wants to learn the basic techniques of a sport. Hardy teaches her wrestling. However, the agent usurps money from Manu, Balli Kakkad (Anil Grover), Buggu Lakhanpal (Vikram Kochhar), and others and runs away. With no other option, Manu, Balli, and Buggu approach Geetu Gulati (Boman Irani) for help. He runs an English-speaking institute and promises to help those trying to clear their IELTS exam. The trio along with Hardy enroll in his classes. Here, they meet Sukhi (Vicky Kaushal), and all five become close friends. They aim to reach the UK by hook or by crook. What happens next forms the rest of the film.

Abhijat Joshi, Rajkumar Hirani and Kanika Dhilon's story is superb and very relatable, especially for those from the South Asian diaspora. Many people from this belt have faced issues with immigration and hence, they’ll connect with the plot. Abhijat Joshi, Rajkumar Hirani, and Kanika Dhilon's screenplay is a mixed bag. While some moments are emotional and hilarious, the script overall could have been much better, especially when it's penned by Abhijat and Rajkumar. Abhijat Joshi, Rajkumar Hirani and Kanika Dhilon's dialogues are witty at places but again, going by their previous work, the one-liners should have had far more punch.

Rajkumar Hirani's direction is simplistic. As always, he uses his laugh-cry-drama formula successfully. Hence, the film doesn’t ever get slow or boring. There’s no dull moment. The film starts in the present day and the way the dynamics are shown, one gets curious to know what must have happened with the characters. It also gives a déjà vu of the beginning of 3 IDIOTS [2009]. The scenes where Hardy and his team try to learn English and their visa interviews are worth watching. The intermission point is quite strong. In the second half, the scenes of Hardy in the UK court and the whole Saudi Arabia sequence turn out to be the best parts of the film. The ending is moving, and the stats mentioned are quite hard-hitting and depressing. Thankfully, the final scene is funny, and the film ends on a lighter note.

On the flipside, the writing is not up to the mark. The makers haven’t focused on the families and their sufferings. Viewers should feel that the characters had a strong reason to move to the UK. But this aspect was not properly touched upon. Secondly, the humorous scenes in the first half don’t bring the house down. The same applies to Manu’s fake marriage episode. And this was necessary as all previous works of Rajkumar Hirani wowed the audience. As a result, one can’t help but expect tremendously from his films. DUNKI is nowhere close to MUNNA BHAI, 3 IDIOTS, PK, etc, and hence, audiences will feel a bit dejected, despite the film’s strong points.

Speaking of performances, Shah Rukh Khan does well and brings alive the humour and emotions effectively. However, as an old man, he’s not quite convincing. Nevertheless, it’s heartening to see him shed his superstar aura and play a character role after witnessing him in massier avatars in PATHAAN and DUNKI. Taapsee Pannu is a revelation and delivers a smashing performance. She gets the nuances in the old-age scenes quite right. Vicky Kaushal rocks the show in a cameo. Anil Grover and Vikram Kochhar are lovely and lend able support. Boman Irani and Deven Bhojani (Puru Patel) are lovely. Others do well.

Pritam's music is not of chartbuster variety, but the songs are well-woven into the narrative. 'Lutt Putt Gaya' comes at a fine juncture and is pleasant. 'Main Tera Rasta Dekhunga' stands out. 'Nikle The Kabhi Hum Ghar Se', 'O Maahi' and 'Banda' are in sync with the film’s theme. Aman Pant's background score is appropriate.

Muraleedharan C K, Manush Nandan and Amit Roy's cinematography is breathtaking and gives the film a big-screen appeal. Subrata Chakraborty and Amit Ray's production design is authentic. Sham Kaushal's action is limited. Eka Lakhani's costumes are realistic and non-glamorous. Rajkumar Hirani's editing is slick.

On the whole, DUNKI bears the Rajkumar Hirani stamp of filmmaking with the right message and emotions as a backdrop. However, it is not as outstanding as his previous films as the writing plays spoilsport to a great extent. At the box office, it will turn out to be a mix bag.

Length: 60176

Warnings: No archive warnings apply, mental illness, mentions of alcohol abuse

Tags: Fake relationship, mutual pining, bad dancing, idiots in love, light humour, mild angst, canonverse, season 14

Summary: Team Free Will is dealing with the aftermath of Dean’s recent possession by Michael and the massacre at the bunker, when they are faced with yet another case. It’s right at home in Lebanon and seems uncomplicated at face value. However, things unravel when it turns out that investigation is at a dance studio, requiring Dean and Cas to pretend to be a couple and take dancing lessons together. Takes place in season 14: a story of bad dancing, love, cat adoption, and Dean being a complete himbo. Very loosely based on the Bollywood movie, ‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’.

Kill Movie Review: KILL is a violent and stylish action entertainer

[leffee]

@chrlotpony

Shahnil :)

who’s the cuddler: I think last time I said it's Sharukh and yeah, Sharukh here too. He's just more shameless in general, so when he wants anything he gets it, cuddles included

who makes the bed: Sunil, Sharukh is used to someone doing everything for him so, you know, he doesn't even think of doing it and Sunil is too neat to leave the bed unmade so he just sighs sometimes and does it

who wakes up first: Sharukh actually. He's not super happy about it but he's used to waking up early because of his whole acting job so often he just automatically wakes up first. If he doesn't have to do anything though he will not get up so when Sunil wakes up possibly hours later Sharukh is still in bed anyway

who has the weird taste in music: If anyone it's Sunil but only because he listens to those meditation music and stuff on youtube or whatever sometimes. Does that count as weird music taste? Sharukh listens to bollywood music a lot but not only

who is more protective: Sharukh. He's more into stating his opinions so to speak, so when he feels like he needs to protect Sunil he won't ovethink it or hesitate and just do it. Everyone already listens to him anyway, why not utalize that to protect his pookie?

who sings in the shower: Sharukh are you kidding me? Songs and music from his movies are stuck in his head often whether he likes it or not, so singing them in the shower or otherwise does definitely happen

who cries during movies: Sharukh, that drama queen. Sure, it's mostly dramatic crying but still. It also mostly happens with the movies he's in, he'll be like "Oh, I went through so much horror here! This uneven ground under my feet almost killed me!" and he's sobbing while Sunil just rolls his eyes

who spends the most while out shopping: Sharukh, like that's not even a competition, he's the one with money and need to buy every useless thing in the world. As long as it's expensive he needs it. Sunil uses his sugar baby rights but not that much

who kisses more roughly: Sharukh. More experience, I mean he for sure kissed others while acting so you know. Plus, again, shameless. If he wants a rougher kiss he just rougher kisses and that's it.

who is more dominat: Sharukh as well, but Sunil is not super far behind, he needs to keep Sharukh in line after all. Still, Sharukh is more assertive and brave and stuff like that, so I have to choose him.

my rating of the ship from 1-10: 5/10. I decided that 5 being in the middle will just be neutral rating and that's how I feel about this ship. I don't dislike it, I don't like it, it's just okay.

And Blythe x Whittany too, why not? I have no idea what their ship name is honestly, did they ever have one? Blyttany sounds good actually. Wait... Whittany... Blythe... White

who’s the cuddler: Blyyythe ;), Whittany is still coming to terms to being in love and in a relationship with Blythe so she's reluctant about showing any sorts of affection towards her or even showing that she tolerates her. Blythe's not

who makes the bed: Blythe. Of course Whittany doesn't want to do anything like that herself, butlers and servants are for that :/ or in this case Blythe

who wakes up first: Blythe. Whittany sleeps as long as she wants which can be very long. Blythe on the other hand is a productive girlie, so she usually wakes up quite fast, especially compared to her girlfriend

who has the weird taste in music: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯, neither I guess

who is more protective: Blythe. Everyone around her is like "Whittany? Really???" and she does get it cause for the longest time they were enemies and both of the twins pulled some terrible tricks on her and everyone really. So now that they are together she really needs to defend her feelings and convince others that Whittany isn't as bad as they think and that they're both genuinely happy with each other

who sings in the shower: Both, though I would say Whittany does it more. Of course she mostly sings "her" songs by which I mean Biskit twin's songs from the show like "Two for one" or "So like bored"

who cries during movies: Blythe can cry if the movie is really sad but Whittany does it more. The movie doesn't even have to be emotional sometimes and she just bawls because she got really into it. Dramatic queen. Or maybe she just really likes the actor and "Don't cry, handsome 😩."

who spends the most while out shopping: Whittany, of course. Money + being used to buying whatever she wants and what she wants are expensive items soooo. Blythe can buy many things too especially for designing and making her own fashion when the inspiration strikes, but still, she doesn't spend nearly as much as Whittany plus you saw her, she buys in thrift stores too

who kisses more roughly: Blythe for similar reasons as in the "who's the cuddler" section. And, perhaps, she unconsciously thinks that she can be a bit rough with Whittany because after everything she and her sister put her through? Yeah, Blythe doesn't think she should to be super gentle

who is more dominat: Same as above, Blythe. It might balance out more as the relationship goes on but at first Blythe is definitely the more dominant force. Partly because Whittany might feel a biiit guilt about how she used to treat Blythe so now she's just kinda more conscious of how she treats her girlfriend. Of course if you asked Whittany she would say she's more dominant.

my rating of the ship from 1-10: 4/10. I see it's appeal but it's enemies to lovers my fucking detested so </3. Plus I'm just really not into any human ships. Don't mind them but at the same time they're not pets who will always have that advantage over them no matter which ship

"It feels like it was made for teen girls and not for actual comic book fans." - Alan NG Film Threat.

A review of The Marvel.

This implies that teenage girls aren't actually comic book fans.

Ms. Marvel means so much to teenage girls! To Muslim girls!

The Marvels has 61% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. I saw it last night at a mostly empty theater.

And I know everyone is tired of Marvel movies and Disney, but like - this was delightful!

It's something teenage girls would love and it focuses on the relationship between women. And I laughed out loud several times. This movie has everything!

Comic book-style art intro! Bollywood-style musical number! It's fun! And yeah it's something teenage girls would love, and I love as a woman, it's wish fulfillment and empowerment.

And because the strike is over, I can promote this and say we should watch this. Like Barbie, this should be a thing where you grab some girls and see it. It's not the best thing ever, but it's fun.

Business Proposal

Finished Watching: 4/27/2024

Genre: Comedy, Drama, Romance

Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟/5 (4/5)

Expectations: I usually don't like KDramas, but I really wanted to watch one for some reason. I thought I would drop it by the 3rd or 4th episode like I do for most dramas, and I especially didn't expect myself to grow attached to the storyline or characters in any way.

Favorite

Summary: Shin Ha-Ri, a normal researcher at a food company, disguises as her friend to help scare her blind date away. But everything goes awry when it turns out that date is with the CEO of her company... and he proposes on the first date.

Thoughts (*SPOILERS*):

Ok, I really didn't expect to like this one at all. I usually find K-Dramas to be super cringey like Bollywood movies. And don't get me wrong, this one did have its moments. But otherwise, I freaking loved this one so much!

This drama was one of the funniest things I've seen in a while. When she called him an Archaeopteryx, I think I about lost my mind T.T I couldn't stop laughing! Though he seems like a cool character, I enjoyed seeing Tae-Moo lose his cool every once in a while. Omg, Ha-Ri is just a jackpot of comedy, this girl could not keep her cool and it killed me! I could not stop laughing for the majority of it, it brings a smile to my face just thinking about it.

The characters of the show were so lovable! It was hard not to love Ha-Ri, in my opinion. She was just so sweet and had a good head on her shoulders, you can't hate her. Her mistakes were funny asl, and I can't really be mad at her (I, too, would do anything for a check). Kang Tae-Moo was too sweet, and honestly so lost for the most part, I couldn't help but love him. The side characters??? DON'T GET ME STARTED I LOVE THEM T.T. Jin Young-Seo and Cha Sung-Hoon were honestly the biggest ride or dies, yet they were also able to have personalities outside of being friends. Their storyline got me so hyped up! And the coworkers?!! (I forgot their names, but they provided so much comedy to this show, I would not mind a spin-off about them)

I usually hate it when characters just start getting paired off, it just pisses me off. But not for this drama. I could tell when the characters were going to get together, and I appreciated it. The coworkers (seriously, what were their names?!) just had this chemistry that I knew they were going to be dating by the second episode they were in. The main couple was nothing short of amazing (if I had one complaint, Tae-Soo stopped being as stubborn, which kind of upset me a bit, because his whole personality was being a hardass, and I usually hate the trope of love completely changing a person, idk why). And the friends side couple made me crave a relationship (I know it's not happening anytime soon, but damn, I can dream), with the constant push and pull.

I was able to finish this show in 2 days, and I am currently running off 2 hours of sleep because I stayed up watching this show instead of getting sleep like I was supposed to. It might be due to tiredness, but I wasn't able to focus on the last couple of episodes of the show, which did upset me. Hopefully, in a couple years time I can watch the show's ending again with a clearer head, but until then, I kind of lost interest during the last 2 episodes.
