#PicksAndPiques #JohnsonThomas #FilmMovieDocumentaryOTTReviews #internationalfilmfestivalcircuit Film: #AccidentOrConspiracyGodhra Rating: * * An unsubstantiated, politically motivated attempt at cinematic liberty, this film focusing on the #NanavatiCommissionEnquiry fails to deliver a crisp, believable representation of the #Godhra incident. Writing indulges in cherry picking & fails to be objective, Performances are OK, treatment is amateurish.

#PicksAndPiques #JohnsonThomas #FilmMovieDocumentaryOTTReviews #internationalfilmfestivalcircuit Film: #BadNewz Rating: * 1/2 An appropriate title for a super-bad film, this wannabe romantic comedy takes the mickey out of fun.The writing is underwhelming, the slapstick humor is mistimed, the antics border on the tiresome, there’s zero chemistry between the actors & treatment is loud.l Its ludicrous, cringe inducing, avers to regressive sexual references and mocks morality.

#PicksAndPiques #JohnsonThomas #internationalfilmfestivalcircuit #filmMovieDocumentaryOTTReviews Title: #Pill Rating: *** Fresh, Relevant,relatable, timely expose of d corruption, unethical drug proliferation nexus in #pharmaIndustry dis series is slow-burning, Earnest & sincere but there’s nothing gritty,nail-biting or thrilling here.

#PicksAndPiques #JohnsonThomas #FilmMovieDocumentaryOTTReviews #internationalfilmfestivalcircuit Film:#Hindustani2 #Indian2 Rating: * * This sequel has Senapathi crusading against corruption with a young pack…but the old-fashioned schema has nothing new to offer. Artificial, Irritating & Unrealistic turns spoil the fun. Performances are appreciable but weak story & inconsistent treatment make it less than compelling.

#PicksAndPiques #JohnsonThomas #internationalfilmfestivalcircuit #filmMovieDocumentaryOTTReviews Title: #Showtime Rating: * * Tenuous, catty but rather blunt edged filmy saga of legacy&ambition in the world of cinema creators. Showtime’s sneak peek into what goes behind the multi-million dollar industry derided for nepotism & dog-eat-dog power struggles, is rather underwhelming & disaffecting.

#PicksAndPiques #JohnsonThomas #FilmMovieDocumentaryOTTReviews #internationalfilmfestivalcircuit Film: #Sarfira Rating: * * 1/2 Loud, bombastic, copiously melodramatic, miscast & misrepresented biopic, based on the book by ex-airforce pilot #GRGopinath founder of India’s first #lowcostairline #AirDeccan. This remake of #SooraraiPottru has #AkshayKumar striving hard to score as a Maharashtrian version of the South Indian trailblaizer & #RadhikaMadan lending strong personality to the role of his ‘Hatke’ wife - even though her looks belie her role’s maharashtrian origins. #Cheatcasting, lack of integrity & ethics while creating a true life story & unconvincing creative liberties are a sore point here.

#PicksAndPiques #JohnsonThomas #internationalfilmfestivalcircuit #FilmMovieDocumentaryOTTReviews Title: #Kakuda Rating: * * A folk-tale about a vengeful ghost, this horror analogy of the Satyavan-Savitri legend has a sloppy script, indefinite tone, crude VFX & poor craft. Even the performances are too lame to make it stick. Cast: #SonakshiSinha #RiteishDeshmukh #SaqibSaleem #AasifKhan #RajendraGupta #YogendraTiku #MaheshJadhav #NeeluKohli Director: #AdityaSarpotdar Runtime: 116 min #ZeeCinema #SwadesFoundation #UMumba #RonnieScrewala #everyone #everyonefollowers #Zee5 #ZeeCinema #AvinashTrivedi #AvianWE #ChaseIndia

#PicksAndPiques #JohnsonThomas #internationalfilmfestivalcircuit #filmMovieDocumentaryOTTReviews Title: #CommanderKaranSaxena Rating: * * Flippant, filmy, one-dimensional jingoistic portrayal of a #RAWAgent comic book hero( Based on #AmitKhan’s comic book) as the savior of Mumbai. #IqbalKhan manages 2 look menacing. Typical Pak-bashing, pop-patriotism & forced dramatics make it a less than saisfactory experience.

#PicksAndPiques #JohnsonThomas #internationalfilmfestivalcircuit #FilmMovieDocumentaryOTTReviews #MirzapurS3 Rating: * * * 10 eps/50-60 min Each Season3 continues to navigate the corridors of power with an anarchic dark gaze - through bloody feuds, sinister machinations,vengeance,betrayal,nihilistic violence&intensified gore. Strong character depth, bludgeoning intensity, ominous tone, refined performances & great cinematography make the series a great lure.

#PicksAndPiques #JohnsonThomas #internationalfilmfestivalcircuit #FilmMovieDocumentaryOTTReviews Film: #Kill Rating: * * * Don’t look for script sense or logic. Bollywood action has never looked so savage. Superb action choreography aiding them, 2 NSG commandos take on 40 brutish murderous dacoits & everyone’s the loser. An alternate universe of action and counteraction within the confines of a train compartment, this ultra violent, gruesome, nihilistic Revenge action ‘Genre’ film is a non-stop river of blood and innards. A Brutal pulverising gory bloodfest with bone breaking head crushing action. #Lakshya does a John Wick/Raid going on a rampage in a running train. Barbarous, vicious and inhumane, the action will hit you hard where it hurts! Definitely not for the squeamish! Within all that bloody action & gore a new action star is born!

#PicksAndPiques #JohnsonThomas #internationalfilmfestivalcircuit #FilmMovieDocumentaryOTTReviews Film: #Pushtaini Rating: * * 1/2 Personal story of a bollywood struggler’s homecoming fails to become meaningful because of an underdeveloped script & simplistic resolution. Fairly rooted performances and mountainous locales are quite a lure.

#PicksAndPiques #JohnsonThomas #internationalfilmfestivalcircuit #FilmMovieDocumentaryOTTReviews Film: #Maharaj Rating : * * * A bold #journalist #socialreformer #KarsanDasMulji questions a revered leader’s immoral behavior…set in the 1840’s this premise based on #MaharajLibelCase can be an inspirational analogy for our current times.Character defining cinematography goes hand-in-hand with powerful messaging. A stirring debut by #JunaidKhan, a supercilious chilling performance from #JaideepAhlawat & a spunky supportive role by #SharwariWagh make this entreating ritual-blasting tale worth watching!
