A worth watching horror-mystery movie
Director: Alex Merkin
Genre: Horror, Mystery & Thriller
Streaming: Netflix
Star Cast: Jeni Ross, Mark Ghanime, Hamza Haq, Kathyrn Davis, Dennis Andres, and Brianna Barnes.
Netflix's recent release is one terrific trip. Even with subpar dialogue, this gory film is sure to leave you twisted.

experience, soon stumble upon three other participants taking part in the
same activity. However, the group soon find themselves trapped and learns
that each room is an elaborate trap that is a part of a sadistic game of life
and death.
The lead actors, Mark Ghanime and Jeni Ross, delivered strong performances that added genuine warmth to the film. The final scene had me captivated with it's haunting visuals and a score that perfectly complimented each other, creating a spooky atmosphere.
The movie shines with its horror elements, including
fine jump scares and enduring dread. In the end, "No Escape Room" is a
thrilling and bloody encounter that no horror fanatic should miss.

Directed: Tom Harper
Genre: Action, Mystery & Thriller, Crime
Platform: Netflix
Star Cast: Gal Gadot, Jamie Dornan, Alia Bhatt,
Sophie Okonedo, Matthias and Schweighofer
Release Date: August 11, 2023
Heart of Stone is a fascinating action movie
streaming on Netflix that will keep you hooked the entire time. The movie
features good action, thrills, and clever twists. The star cast's performance
was versatile and certain moments of the film turned out rather good. Gal Gadot
was a pleasure to watch. Alia Bhatt made her Hollywood debut with this movie.
The film has a captivating storyline full of
surprises, tension and twists. The only criticisms worth mentioning are few
pointless attempts at humor which were neither cheesy nor "baddy"
enough to draw audience
The plot is very obvious and does not give opportunity for other series to come out. Alternately, it may continue indefinitely with new thrills and a fresh plot.
Alia and Gal Gadot have my heart. If you are searching for action-packed entertainment with praise worthy acting, “Heart of Stone” on Netflix is a must watch that will keep you fascinated until the very last frame.

New bottle, Old wine: Gadar 2
Directed By: Anil Sharma
Genre: Action, adventure and Drama
Platform: Theatrical
release
Star cast: Sunny Deol, Ameesha Patel, Utkarsh
Sharma, Gaurav Chopra, Manish Wadhwa, and Simrat Kaur.
Gadar Ek Prem Katha, which was
released in 2001, an acclaimed a masterpiece back then. The legacy continues
after 22 years, causing a tsunami at the box office this month.
"Gadar 2" is a film that
tugs at the heartstrings with its high nostalgic value, taking us back to the
iconic original "Gadar: Ek Prem Katha."
Sunny Deol and Amisha Patel reprise
their roles with conviction, reminding us of the charisma that made the
original a blockbuster. Their chemistry still shines through, and they play
their parts well. What I truly enjoyed and loved were the recreated versions of
the songs: Main Nikla Gadi Leke and Udd Ja Kale Kaavan. They are the soul of
the film and take you back in time.
In order to give you the impression
that this is a sequel to Gadar, director Anil Sharma goes to great lengths, and
as a result, the film's release feels like it is over 22 years overdue. The
fall shorts is in its storyline. While it capitalises on the emotions and
fervour of the prequel, it lacks a compelling narrative to sustain the
audience's interest throughout the movie. The plot feels disjointed at times,
leaving viewers wanting more depth and coherence.
Despite its shortcomings, "Gadar 2" can be watched at least once for the sheer nostalgia it evokes and the powerful performances by the lead actors. Die-hard fans of the original will find moments to cherish, but those seeking a strong storyline might be left wanting.
Guns and Gulaabs

Guns and Gulaabs: An opportunity missed
Director: Raj & DK
Genre: Dark Comedy, Crime and Thriller
Star cast: Rajkummar Rao, Dulquer Salmaan, Adarsh
Gourav, Gulshan Devaiah, TJ Bhanu Parvati Murti, Pooja A Gor, Satish Kaushik,
and Varun Badola
Platform: Netflix
"Guns and Gulaabs", takes viewers on a nostalgic journey to the 90s,
which in itself is a charming aspect of the show.
The premise introduces us to the world of Panna
Tipu, Arjun Verma, Chhota Ganchi, and Four Cut Atmaram, promising an ensemble
of intriguing characters.
The show boasts a stellar cast with Rajkummar Rao
and Dulquer Salmaan in prominent roles, raising expectations considerably.
While the performances are commendable, the storyline disappointingly falls
into predictability. It leans heavily on the nostalgia factor, but fails to
deliver a fresh or compelling narrative.
The seven-episode series does manage to blend
elements of thriller and dark comedy, keeping the audience engaged to some
extent. However, the potential for a gripping plot is left largely untapped.
Viewers hoping for Kumar and DK's signature blend of quirk and suspense may find
themselves longing for more.
In conclusion, "Guns and Gulaabs" offers a trip down memory lane to the 90s, with strong performances from its cast, but it ultimately falls short in terms of delivering an innovative storyline. While it's worth a watch for fans of the era and the directors, it doesn't quite live up to the high expectations set by its talented ensemble.
Made In Heaven

Season 2 pitch back into the magnificence of
weddings, intolerable truths, and a great deal of twisted drama.
Directed and created by: Nitya Mehra, Zoya Akhtar, Reema Kagti, Prashant Nair, Alankrita Shrivastava, Neeraj Ghaywan
Genre: Drama, Romance
Star cast : Sobhita Dhulipala, Arjun Mathur, Kalki
Koechlin, Jim Sarbh, Shashank Arora, Shivani Raghuvanshi, Mona Singh, Trinetra Haldar
Platform: Amazon prime
After a long wait of four years, Made in Heaven
returns with its highly anticipated second season. The second season shows the
continuation of the story of Tara and Karan as they face personal and
professional troubles, which keeps the story charming.
The outstanding portrayal of societal issues in MIH
2 is one of its most notable features. The show bravely addresses issues like
caste prejudice, gender injustice, and LGBTQ+ rights while exposing the
continuous problems people in modern India confront. These concerns are
presented in a thought-provoking manner that encourages viewers to have
significant discussions.
Character development remains a strong suit of the
show. Tara and Karan expand their personal arcs and become more empathetic. The
supporting cast, which includes well-known performers like Neelam, Sanjay
Kapoor, Mona Singh, and others, also does a fantastic job of bringing all the
many characters to life and giving them each their own interesting stories. Consisting
of seven episodes, each episode questions the descriptions of "happily
ever after". Each episode presents a different story, which revolves
around the main story.
However, the second season is not without its flaws.
The pacing can be uneven at times, with certain storylines feeling rushed while
others drag on.
This season has captivating storytelling, powerful
performances, and touching social commentary. Fans of the first season will not
be disappointed, and it is likely to attract new viewers with its engaging
narrative and insightful social observations.
Hoping this might you for the coming week, so, until next time.
