PENINSULA Movie Review  Train to Busan was released last 2016. It was a hit locally and internationally that's why many people were happy when they announced that a sequel will be coming. And it will have a whole new cast.  The Peninsula's timeline occurred 4 years later after the outbreak. And as I can see, even Busan which is the only safest place before was invaded too. The whole korean Peninsula was already in chaos. The movie started when Kang Dong Won (Jeong sok) a soldier is travelling to Incheon port with his sister, nephew and his friend Chul min to ride a ship that will escape the peninsula. On the way Jeong sok ignored the plead of a woman whose carrying her child and was asking for help.  One infected cause havoc on the ship that also affects many including Jeong won's nephew and sister. He arrived in Hongkong with Chungmin. And then a group of gangster hired them to retrieve huge money that was left in Korea. So this is where the breathtaking and astonishing ...

These are not regular sports movies.Movies are not based on ranks.Here are my top 5  personal favourites. 1) Athlete A (2020) Documentary It shows the hard reality of women gymnastics sexual and scandal abuse of the people who work in sports organization.

Sushant Singh Rajput farewell film did It do justice ? As it is his last onscreen film from our dear beloved Sushant Singh. I wonder how should I review   Whether to go gaga over it or just reviewed it straight from my heart.  Let me tell you one thing that film was just average , the cast were perfect , the production is just above average, cinematography was just good enough.  It couldn't do any justice to remake of Hollywood film 'The fault in our Stars'. The main positive in the film that I got from the film was music and ofcourse Sushant Singh. The other co actors like Sanjana,Swastik Mukerjee were also good.Even with the apt casting they couldn't  create the magic on screen. Spoiler ahead even Saif Ali Khan cameo was misplaced.He was an odd man out. The direction was very weak it's shown in movie too. Mukesh chhbara (director)  had the best chance to  give a proper send off to our beloved actor sadly he misfires. Makers could have done better job...

The Android Spec Prince Returns ? Asus ROG Phone 3 has been launched as the company's latest gaming smartphone. The new model has almost the same dimensions of last year's ROG Phone 2, yet it comes with various hardware-level upgrades. The Asus ROG Phone 3 comes with Qualcomm Snapdragon 865+ SoC and includes a GameCool 3 heat dissipating system with a redesigned copper 3D vapour chamber and a larger graphite film over what's available on the existing model. The gaming phone also features AirTrigger 3 ultrasonic buttons and includes dual, front-firing speakers.  For camera department it's is just ok  .Yes they have opted with triple camera setup  for marketing gimmick I really don't understand for 3rd camera set up .Rest is everything is great about except for few more unders statement lags and glitches. Battery was the biggest achievement they have nailed it. Cons - No IP rating Some software issue lags here and there Removed 3.5 mm headphones jack Instead  they are...

The film is technically brilliant. Firstly the commendable Direction of Photography especially for the first 20 minutes and the last half an hour. The DOP was so raw, rustic and astounding. The pile of people sequence in the climax was astoudning to watch and the camera department rocked. Then the music was used both creatively and sensibly. The film's background score although repeatative, sounded so authentic and innovative. No one could've ever thought of that kind of BGM for a raw and rustic film like this. And sesible because where the scene has to be left silent to feel the pulse, BGM was avoided totally without any other second thought. Music was great. When it comes to screenplay, especially the scene which elaborates on the past conflict between Anthony and Kuttachan, the screenplay was so smooth and perfect. Also, in crafting the climax hunting sequence and the opening bull escaping sequence was very very commendable. Locations wise couldn't say much coz ...

One of the most favourite Malayalam movie for so many decade. KUMBALANGI NIGHTS Its 4.30am right now and I just completed Kumbalangi Nights and here I am writing a review. Though I did not know what language it was in but it was in my watch list for a long time. I kinda love watching south india cinema and south indian music for their genuineness and realness. Hence, the movie. It's poster and then 'about the movie' attracted me to watch this movie and boy it did exceed my expectations.!! It is such a well crafted movie where almost every character has a storyline and those storylines ain't one dimensional, they have different layers added to them. This movie starts leaving it's impact from the very first scene, it grips you to know more about them, 15mins into it and you'll be hooked. Strong storyline, very beautiful music and background score, aesthetic locations, layered characters and brilliant acting all added up to create what I'd call nothing less t...
