#PicksAndPiques #JohnsonThomas #internationalfilmfestivalcircuit #FilmMovieDocumentaryOTTReviews Title: #FreedomAtMidnight Rating: * * * Based on the novel by #LarryCollins & #DominiqueLapierre the Emotionally charged plot highlights India’s tumultous state of unrest in 1946-47 before freedom & separation was finally achieved. It’s a fresh look, encompasses fiery oratory, has fairly balanced representations, decent performances & an inveigling background score. Tech details are also creditworthy.

#PicksAndPiques #JohnsonThomas #FilmMovieDocumentaryOTTReviews #internationalfilmfestivalcircuit Title: #Cross S1 Rating: * * 1/2 Based on #NYTimes Bestselling author #JamesPatterson’s crime thrillers, this first series adaptation, attempt to grab eyeballs falls short.Despite the books to fall back on, the writing fails to create an authentic credible drama. Some strong performances may generate interest but there’s nothing unique on offer here.

Half Love Half Arranged S2 #PicksAndPiques #JohnsonThomas

#PicksAndPiques #JohnsonThomas #internationalfilmfestivalcircuit #FilmMovieDocumentaryOTTReviews Title: #HalfLoveHalfArrangedS2 Rating: * * 1/2 This extended attempt at relationship romcom based on #ItishaPeerbhoy’s book fails to go beyond the obvious - clings to the search for a groom in stereotypical format. Middling humour, wilful drama & desperate romantic entanglements make for some moderate entertainment. While the writing is not exactly sharp & humorous, the performances are valiant enough to be appreciable.

Citadel: Honey Bunny #PicksAndPiques #JohnsonThomas

#PicksAndPiques #JohnsonThomas #internationalfilmfestivalcircuit #FilmMovieDocumentaryOTTReviews Film: #CitadelHoneyBunny Rating: * * This spinoff period piece retrofitted into the Citadel spyverse is too vague, uninteresting& bland. Lacking in freshness of plot & high-stakes complexity & curdled by unwarranted sloppy attempts at comedy, lame unnecessary dialogue, stereotypical bollywood style set-up, cheesy romantic moves, this retrograde attempt at spy series feels like a throwback to a filmy past that sits uneasy in the hi-tech cutting edge #Citadel universe set-up by the #RussoBrothers. Nadia’s growing up years under the shadow of #HoneyBunny could have been better represented.

#PicksAndPiques #JohnsonThomas #internationalfilmfestivalcircuit #FilmMovieDocumentaryOTTReviews Film: #KhwaabonKaJhamela Rating: * * Fickle & Feeble attempt at quirky romcom, this one isn’t light enough to manage laughs nor is it intense enough to keep the romance going. Borrowed idea, uninspired writing, poor adaptation, unexciting set-ups, obscure storyline, wayward plotting & mundane dialogue plague this experience.
