I saw some librandu film critic peddling the same list, in fact in the same order.
Let's get real. Every movie is propoganda. The monkey balancing makes it watchable for larger set of audience, but then that monkeybalancing is an act of propoganda itself.
You can get Kashmir files or Haider on extremes and in between them monkey balanced Shikara.
If you are on the side of Kashmir files, propoganda begins right at Shikara.
But if you are happy go lucky type fellow, you go with your extended family and watch Shikara, fell in woth love angle in midst a human tragedy and call it a day.
Now some of the movies on left side.... are quite bad, in their effort to humanising the bad side, they omit the tragedies faced by other. "Son of poor headmaster" literally shoved down your throat....and thus making these movies unworthy of seeing the day light.
Saw Dhurandhar after seeing so much praise here. Not seen a Bollywood movie in a long time so thought let's give it a shot.
Was extremely bored in the first half.. hated all the slow mo close ups. Sara Arjun should have been totally cut from the movie. EXTREMELY sleeper scenes. Ranveer acting was slightly worse than a statue.
Second half was better. More exciting.
Overall movie was too long. I wish it was consistently serious in tone. Most of the movie was serious and then suddenly some parts that felt like they belonged in RRR.
