Yea.
Even i enjoyed it. Just felt they could have made it so much better. 

 

I think a couple of action sequences in the second half could've turned it around for everyone, but given the constraints they faced with the lead actor being in active politics, I think they did the best they could with the very limited set of dates he had allotted. I wasn't expecting anything beyond this, to be honest, especially considering the lead actor's recent track record. This was also my first time seeing one of his films in theaters since 2013, which should say a lot, lol.

I heard they're re-cutting the movie again, adding 15 min of extra footage for Netflix. If true, let's see if it improves the pacing.

Watching war 2 on Netflix , the vfx oh the vfx :rofl:

 

ps: the entry scenes of heroes were boring and I felt even the action choreography was quite bad.  With a budget of 300cr+,  what did they spend all the money on ?

Over 100 crores just for the actors. Also, these figures are probably bullshit. Even Hollywood lies for accounting reasons.

It didn't look very appealing to me from the trailers. It was also very reminiscent of a Telugu film called Rangasthalam at that time, so I skipped it. Even the new one doesn't seem very original.

 

Mirai was super meh. I thought Hanu-Man itself was tedious to the core, but this one turned out to be a lot worse in comparison.

 

They Call Him OG was light-hearted, fun. Nothing extraordinary or new, but it's the closest anyone has come to blending John Wick-esque storytelling with martial arts and Japanese elements with our own history incorporated as part of its larger lore in desi style here.

Kantara is nothing like rangasthalam lol, not even close.  They are the most unique movies I’ve seen in recent times! Don’t go by random opinions here, instead give it a try, I think the first one is on ott already.  The first one is a bit slow and takes time to pick up, the sequel (actually prequel in terms of setting)-  chapter 1 is much improved version with better pacing/action/vfx etc.
 

In other news, saw holland on prime video, starting Nicole Kidman.  The movie was decent until the very end when it went completely bonkers.  I didn’t even understand what happened, online interpretations of the ending vary greatly as well. This fad of open ending movies just to seem intellectual needs to stop lol 😂

No, I just meant that, in terms of setting/aesthetics, it reminded me of Rangasthalam at that time. I think fatigue kicked in for me with these kind of rural backdrop movies quite a while ago. Same reason I still haven't bothered to watch Pushpa 2. Maybe I'll give them a try in the future because I'm very much interested in the divine aspects of the story.

Also saw Predator Badlands. It was good fun. Almost felt like reading a predator comics. The creature designs are really cool. Great action. Movie is a bit silly and has some humour which people are hating but it was a solid sci-fi entertainer for me.

Must see Bollywood movie after the longest time.
Universally apart from recent Spy Crap that YRF & others have been producing recently.

If this movie is actually inspired as much as being touted by true events then kudos to whomsoever the legend was to cross border & unleash carnage on assholes.

 

Watch this series to see how true to life the characters are of Lyari Town:-

In a lot of ways it feels like how Kratos (a character with many different myths combined) was fit into the Greek mythology this Protagonist(a character with

aura of many different Agents combined) has been fit into the real worldy recreation of Pakistan internal Gang Wars & Politics.
