Tigers Movies Review: Emraan hashmi Earnest Performance in an above average movie.

Movie Name: Tigers
Cast: Emraan Hashmi, Adil Hussain, Danny Huston, Maryam d'Abo, Supriya Pathak
Director: Danis Tanovic
Movie runtime: 1 hrs 29 min
Genre: Drama
Release Date: 2014 Internationally and 21st November 2018 on digital platform ZEE in India.

Plot Summary: A Pharmaceutical Salesman in Pakistan discovered that his company is responsible for the killing of the infant child and fights with the system to uncover the truth.

Script Analysis(story, Screenplay, Dialogues): The movie is inspired by real-life events in Pakistan. The movie is set in the period of 1994-2006. It tells the story of Ayan (Emraan Hashmi) a struggling salesman fights the system to uncover the dark secret of his company's products. The story is fresh and, as it is inspired by true events, the story makes us more engaged in the movie. The movie is only 90 minutes long, but its problem is slow pacing. The screenplay is ok could have added more scenes towards the climax for a more powerful impact. The movie is not filmed in a typical Bollywood style; It is more of an art movie.
As art movies are slow and more focus are there on the story, it is like that. Dialogues are good.



Star Performances: Emraan Hashmi has delivered a sincere and earnest performance. He is apt in every scene. Adil Hussain is good as an antagonist. Maryam d'Abo is good as Maggie. Special mention for Satyadeep Mishra who plays Dr.Nadeem. Supriya Pathak is underutilised. All others have provided the required support well.

Technical Aspect(direction, Background Scores, Music): Movie is directed by Oscar-winning director Danis Tanovic. The direction is good. It has a documentary feel. The background score is good. Songs are played in the movie's background and are situation based. The movie is made in 2014 but didn't get the theatrical release. It can be watched on the ZEE5 digital platform.





Verdict: It is a well-made movie. Little slow pace but the length of the movie is not long. You can watch it on Zee5 Digital platform.

Bohemian Rhapsody movie review- a magnificent journey of an extraordinary man


Movie: Bohemian Rhapsody
Cast: Rami Malek, Lucy Boynton, Ben Hardy, Joseph Mazzello, Allen Leech, Tom Hollander
Director: Bryan Singer
Movie runtime134 minutes
Genre: Biography

Plot Summary: Movie is a biography of Queen band leads singer Freddie Mercury.

Script Analysis(story, Screenplay, Dialogues): Movie starts with the story of Freddie Mercury(Rami Malek) as a student and meet Brian Bay (Gwilym Lee) and Roger Taylor (Ben Hardy) in a club and join their Band. Showcasing the creative aspect of making the songs. The movie focuses more on his love life and situations happening because of them. His family life is shown to be limited in the movie. More focus more on his love life than band friendship. The screenplay is good. I wish they could have shown more of the creative process of making the songs. As scenes regarding the making of the songs are brilliant. Dialogues are very good. They are funny and witty and add a flavour to the scenes. Some scenes could have been cut off a little and could have added move scenes regarding the band member relationship. 



Star Performances: Rumi Malek Gave the best performance of his career. He is outstanding. Sometimes it feels you are watching real Freddie Mercury on the silver scene. He is apt in replicating the body language especially during the live performance scenes of the band.
Allen Leech, as Freddie personal manager is outstanding. He is the second character after Freddie in the movie you look forward to what he is up to next. Gwilym Lee and Ben Hardy were very good in their performances. Joseph Mazzello, Lucy Boynton,  Tom Hollander, Aidan Gillen were good on their respective roles.

Technical Aspect(direction, Background Scores, Music): This movie is directed by Bryan Singer. The movie is well directed. Biographies are difficult to handle. However, the Director has tried to show all aspects of Freddie life in just 2 hours. He has done a commendable job. The background score is good. Music is the soul of the movie. Most of the Queen song is used in the background or as their performances during the tour or recording. It feels like one is watching a live Freddie concert. Songs like we will rock you and Bohemian Rhapsody are used brilliantly. Every time You will Hymn the songs along with the movie.


                                            Bohemian Rhapsody Movie trailer

Verdict: Bohemian Rhapsody is not a perfect movie, but it is not a bad movie either. It's a good movie. If you are a fan of Queen or music, you will definitely end up in liking the movie.

Andhadhun Movie Review

Movie: Andhadhun
Cast: Ayushmann Khurrana, Tabu, Radhika Apte
Director: Shriram Raghavan
Movie runtime: 2 hrs 20 min
Genre: Thriller/Crime/Drama

Plot Summary: Akash(Ayushmann Khurrana), a blind pianist who found himself in the middle of a crime scene.

Analysis: The main hero of the film is the story and Screenplay of the Film (rarely you come across such unique stories in Bollywood). The movie story is fresh and refreshing and not something that you have seen before. The movie is well executed. Screenplay holds you at the edge of your seat. You can't predict what will come next. The director plays with the mind of the audience, and he successfully tricks the audience with the crispy screenplay. This movie is directed by Sriram Raghavan, who previously directed critically acclaimed Johnny Gaddaar(2007) and Badlapur(2015). He delivered best when it comes to the crime thriller. He has done it again why he is best in this genre. Background Score is Awesome, Especially during a particular scene where Akash(Ayushmann Khurrana) plays the piano at an apartment. Music is Good.



Star cast performance: Every small to the big character as some or other importance to the plot of the movie. Ayushmann Khurrana has done a great job. He immense himself the gesture of a blind man convincingly. Tabu is the main show-stealer. Whenever she is on the screen, you can't predict what she will do next. Radhika Apte has a limited role. She is good what she does in this movie. Anil Dhavan requires a special mention for his performance. He is outstanding along with Chaya Kadam who plays one of his associates. Ashwini Kalsekar, Manav Vij and Anil Dhawan are good in their respective roles.

                                          Andhadhun Movie Trailer

Verdict: Definitely worth a watch. Go watch it for the story, direction and performance of the cast.
