Kung Fu Panda 3


Plot
Continuing his adventure of awesomeness Po has to fight against a great power who has encapsulated the “chi” of many others.

Animation
As seen in the last two movies ,the makers haven't change even a bit of the quality of animation as it was desired by a 100% of the audience.

Direction
The vision of this maker is immense and deep. The thought given to every individual scene is a pure example of perfection.

Dialogues
We all have to agree that the dialogues have been playing a large role in this movies success. The same but pretty original perky comic lines are written for the third part which makes enhances the power of the movie.

Editing
Editing couldn't have been better. There was not a single scene that could have been dropped out of the movie.

Story
The story is pretty much same if we see a broader aspect of the movie. There is a bad guy who PO defeats in the end. But the movie doesn’t feel repetitive at all.

Overall
I feel that even though it’s an anime still it is made for adults because the moral from each movie is so deep rooted . Because of the frets direction, awesome comic dialogues I highly recommend Kung Fu Panda 3.

Verdict
My rating is 4/5.

Angry Indian Goddesses



Plot

Covering all the problems faced by today’s women. The film shows characters facing the problem an Indian Women has to deal with. 

Cast

·         Sarah-Jane Dias as Frieda Da Silva
·         Tannishtha Chatterjee as Nargis Nasreen
·         Anushka Manchanda as 'Mad' Madhurita
·         Sandhya Mridul as 'Su' Suranjana
·         Amrit Maghera as 'Jo' Joanna
·         Rajshri Deshpande as Lakshmi


Acting

Performances by all the actors here were brilliant. I have only one complaint and that is about the overlapping of dialogues. To make the scenes more realistic the actors resorted into overlapping each other’s lines but I think that backfired because the audience is not used to it and was finding it to difficult to understand.

Direction
Nothing to boast about the direction was pretty much mediocre. The same as mentioned earlier the overlapping of dialogues was a bit irritating.

Dialogues
Not many great lines written in this movie. The dialogues didn’t have much to do with the character built up of each actor.

Editing
Not a single scene in this movie was worth editing out.

Story
The movie covers all the problems and issues faced by a women in todays INDIA.
These problems are spread across 6 characters. However the only problem with the story is all these problems are already known by the audience today ,what people need id solutions. The script doesn’t provide a single solution instead just cribs about the issues.

Overall
A better feminist movie is needed in the society today. This not the one which portrays the solutions to any issue. Plus the poor direction.

Verdict
My rating is 2/5.

                                                                                                                      Source Wikipedia


Acting
Performances delivered by every actors in this movie was mediocre however Akhsay doesn’t let the movie’s graph fall.
We can surely call him the new angry young man!
This might be Akshay’s best performance so far.
Apart from him Kumud Mishra’s part of a government official was done pretty good.  
However Nimrat Kaur failed to deliver her best.
Overall 70/100 for the entire cast .


Direction
Direction here was nothing to boast about.
Neither negatives nor positives,
50/100

Dialogues
Dialogues in the film here just amazing. All the characters here well thought of.
There are some parts in the movie which will directly connect to the hearts of each and every NRIs out there for sure. However most of the key dialogues are added in the trailer.
75/100

Screenplay
Screenplay was the key component according to me which helped Akshay’s performance look so great.
There parts in the movie where you might actually get goose bumps.
As I don’t want to give any spoilers so I can’t input much about the screenplay. You need to see the movie ASAP. However the film starts to feel like a drag after a certain extent, the last 20min climax makes it even.
80/100

Editing
Editing could have been much better. Especially the 3 songs could have been deleted out completely,
The songs slowed down the pace of the movie.
Many useless filler characters were added too. They could have been avoided.
40/100

Story
Airlift is based on a real life rescue operation who is the largest of its kind.
The movie starts with Ranjeet Katyal (Akshay Kumar), an obnoxious Businessman living in Kuwait is talking about some deal with the Prince. He doesn't even consider himself as an Indian.  Later he finds out that Saddam Hussain has invaded Kuwait and now Kuwait has suddenly become a war zone.
Looking at 1 lac 70 thousand Indians Ranjeet has a change of heart and decides to save all of them when he has an option to fly out alone with his family. The entire movie is about this rescue operation, how this businessman gets all of 170000 out this hell on earth back to India.
95/100

Overall
Well you might think that Akshay Kumar has done a lot of similar kind of movies in the past 2 years but you are surely mistaken! This is a unique movie and a must watch!
70/100
  
Verdict
My rating is 4/5.

Acting

Now who can I say about Robert De Niro. His expressions ruled the entire Scene!
He didn't even need to say the dialogue and you can literally feel the emotion.
Anne Hathaway was also good at her job.Coping up with Robert De Niro is however a big deal. 
90/100 for actors
  


Direction

Nancy Meyers has done an excellent job in terms of catching each and every emotion of the characters.
But however we have seen similar movies in terms of direction so nothing extra ordinary here. 
70/100 for direction

Dialogues

The lines written here were upto mark. There were moments in the movie where the dialogues makes you laugh and cry at the same time!
60/100 for the dialogues.


Screenplay

Scenes where written such that every part of the movie would touch your soul.
Screenplay supported actors very much.
90/100 for the screenplay writer.

Editing

The job could have been much much better .
Some scenes though nicely written felt a drag for the movie.
40/100

Story
The movie revolves around two characters viz.
1) A senior citizen (Ben) ,bored of life,finding something new and exciting for his age.
2) A workoholic girl (Jules) CEO of a successful online shopping website who face a lot of issues from her investors on one side and from her husband on the other .
Her investors find her inexperoanced and so suggest her a new CEO to help her out.
The husband is a full time father and seeks time from her, saying that he starts cheating on her and later realizes his mistake.
The story is quite unusual as this man in his 70s opts a job at this firm as an intern.
But doesn't even know how to use a computer.
He helps this girl to manage all her problems in quite  traditional ways.
And...thats your story....
60/100 for the story

Overall

A nice emotional movie which touches your heart leaving tears of joy at the end.

Verdict

My rating is 3/5.
