Alien: Romulus (2024)
Average.
Just an average alien franchise film. Not the spark or shine of the first movie, nor the intrigue or curiosity of prometheus. Just in between. Generic is the word. I like the premise being set inside the abandoned space ship but just pretty basic work here. Even covenant had some decent action shots. This one is just lazy. The elevator action had me rolling my eyes. Hope the next movie in the franchise goes back to space exploration territory with a bit more budget allotment. You can give this a miss and it'd be ok. Wasn't expecting much going in but still disappointed. Decent acting, basic storytelling efforts. So just average.
Citadel: Diana (2024)
Childish writing. Boring watch.
In a nutshell, this was just poor writing. Skilled narrative skills would have helped this plot and idea be more interesting on screen. It's decent effort by the actors but the story and writing just doesn't help. Didn't enjoy any part of this. In my opinion the entire citadel franchise is a letdown. They are trying to shove more and more down audiences throats cause of the contractual obligations. The indian adaptation is coming next which already seems like a snoozefest. There have been so uplifting spot in this franchise since the Chopra madden season which was a huge let down. Can skip this one.
Maharaja (2024)
Writing at its best.
One comes across several good movies that are well written or well directed. Every year we see few good movies come out. Then there are a chosen few rhat astound you at how did they make this piece of cinema or conceive iit. Maharaja is a gem of this kind. Writing peaked here. Each aspect of the movie is great but writing is brilliant. Plz watch it without any spoilers and fall in love with the power of cinema to move you in ways even real life sometimes cannot.
All the actors have done good job. Director has narrated iit a non linear way but to his credit very well. Sethupathi shows how stars can act their age and still remain massy. Hindi cinema can take a cue from this attempt by Vijay. Excellent work.
Kyaa Kool Hain Hum 3 (2016)
Worst of the Worst
You seem to get some of these movies all around world cinema. In Bollywood too, it is these kind of movies which tend to bring down the good work done by other movies. Kya Kool Hain Hum 3 is the 3rd movie in a adult comedy franchise which is now just being produced and made to extend the career of probably the worst actor in todays generation in the Hindi film industry. It is full of what is expected from this film, all sexual innuendos and double meaning dialogues. It provides the cheap humor it sets out to deliver. But it is nothing special or new that we haven't seen a hundred times before. Both the lead actors are obviously looking for a paycheck and deliver another terrible performance. The newcomer actress "Mandana Karimi" struggles to deliver expressions in the few scenes where she is required to act. There is no real story or plot or even attempt or effort visible in this movie by the makers. All in all, a movie that is to be avoided to preserve ones brain cells. This is as worse as one could expect from a Tushar Kapoor movie.
