Angrezi Medium (2020)
CLAPPERBOARD REVIEW
After much anticipation, we see Irrfan return with a bang. As fans of the previous encounter(Hindi Medium), we awaited a flick outdoing the previous one, but were left a tad bit disappointed. The storyline seemed to fall flat and lacked proper direction. The two pillars holding the movie together were Irrfan and Deepak with their excellent dialogues and comic timing. Except a few laughs from the protagonists, the movie drove the point home but fell short of fervor.
Onward (2020)
CLAPPERBOARD REVIEW
An impressive attempt at one of Disney's most unique portrayals. A feel-good movie humming the notes of self improvement. Very intelligibly made, the attention to the tiniest of elements is commendable. Bursting through unconventional characters and an atypical ending, this one-of-a-kind flick makes for a great watch.
Thappad (2020)
CLAPPERBOARD REVIEW
Thappad is a firm resounding portrayal of the misogynistic society we dwell in. With powerful performances by the ensemble, the movie leaves you in self analysis. Shedding light on the various sections of society facing the same overlooked issues on different tiers, it keeps you fixated on watching the harsh impermissible reality unfold. Kudos to the entire team for not including the courtroom drama, turning it into a melodramatic flick, as is tradition. A must watch.
Sonic the Hedgehog (2020)
CLAPPERBOARD REVIEW
The movie is a fresh gust of wind just like its protagonist. Touching notes of loneliness and building up to the difference between good and evil, it takes you on a fun filled light-hearted adventure. And if the beloved hedgehog wasn't enough to steal your heart, Jim Carrey's bedazzling Ace Ventura like comeback is sure to tickle your funny bone.
Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan (2020)
CLAPPERBOARD REVIEW
The film feels like a fresh breath of air amidst the subpar releases this year. It has beautifully accomplished the portrayal of a middle class family with its woes and quirks. It nails depicting the struggles faced by the LGBTQ and also sheds light on the difficulty faced by older generations to accept the evolving nature of the world around them. The two leads were spectacular but kudos to the supporting cast who stole the show. Noteworthy performances by each and every phenomenal actor involved. Inducing riotous laughs, the movie makes for a great watch.
Ujda Chaman (2019)
CLAPPERBOARD REVIEW
A story on body shaming and public mentality. The film fails to deliver on all the levels. A very weak and almost non existent story-line with equally poor execution. It fails to keep the interest of users even for a single scene. A wasted opportunity over a thoughtful topic.
Made in China (2019)
CLAPPERBOARD REVIEW
An intriguing unique concept, well outlined and portrayed. With a dreary first half, the movie picks up pace in the second, making it a must watch. Causing awareness on important but dormant issues in the country, it stirs the concerned viewers. The two leads, Rajkummar Rao and Boman Irani deserve a special mention for their outstanding performance. With some links not clicking into place along with a knotted story-line, it manages to shakily stand tall.
Saand Ki Aankh (2019)
CLAPPERBOARD REVIEW
An emotionally stirring and thought provoking work of art. The simplicity with which it all unravels is heart rendering. A very basic and slightly repetitive depiction of discrimination against women and fighting against all odds. Great performances by the entire cast. The movie touches your heart but barely scratches the surface in leaving a mark.
The Current War (2017)
CLAPPERBOARD REVIEW
A stirring and unambiguous portrayal of one of the most significant breakthroughs in Science. A riveting tale, unknown to most, highlighting the shrouded complexities behind bringing ideas to life. At certain moments, the depiction falls flat and dry due to lack of piquancy. Although with astounding performances and a coaxing background score, The Current War holds firm.
Maleficent: Mistress of Evil (2019)
CLAPPERBOARD REVIEW
An unseemly and unnecessary sequel to an adequate first movie. It fails to grip the attention of the viewers and becomes agonizingly dull. Being irritably predictable from the first scene, the two stunning leading ladies fail at keeping this movie alive. The beautiful and delicate aesthetic tries to make up for the mind-numbing story-line and hollow performances. Once again, some movies are better-off without futile sequels.
Joker (2019)
CLAPPERBOARD REVIEW
A hauntingly beautiful masterpiece, that will keep you guessing at all turns of the story. The unpredictable and horrific charm of the Joker keeps you enraptured in a trance. Joaquin Phoenix shines bright like a diamond, owning the role and delivering something unparalleled. An amalgam of incredible cinematography, profound dialogues, well depicted themes and mystifying music, creates magic. The Joker will win your hearts and steal your breath away.
