Mirzapur: The Movie Review - SERVICEABLE Rating - ⭐⭐⭐/5 Finally watched #MirzapurTheMovie. The film leans heavily on nostalgia.. Munna Bhaiya and Ravi Kishan and follows a very familiar formula: nostalgia, action, nostalgia again. It’s entertaining, but honestly, it doesn’t offer anything particularly new or surprising. The film keeps you engaged through a few peak moments, nostalgia.. and some creatively brutal violence, but beyond that, there isn’t much that truly stands out. #RaviKishan is easily the X-factor. His intensity, dialogue delivery, anger, and the way he approaches business expansion make his character extremely engaging. He brings real weight to the film. There are also some interestingly staged violent moments.. the kind of brutal sequences #Mirzapur fans will appreciate. And after watching it in Hyderabad, I can confidently say: Munna Bhaiya’s character (The Character) has the aura of a PAN-India superstar. And Ravi Kishan (The Actor).. of course.. remains a favourite. Overall.. an entertaining watch that doesn’t really bring anything special to the table. – at Hyderabad, India

But the fact that 14 of Anurag Kashyap's films are highly rated on IMDb is conveniently left out of the discussion. #Bandar – 7.4 ✅ #Nishaanchi – 7.1 #Manmarziyaan – 6.8 #Mukkabaaz – 8.0 #RamanRaghav – 7.3 #Ugly – 7.9 #GangsOfWasseypur2 – 8.2 #GangsOfWasseypur – 8.2 #ThatGirlInYellowBoots – 6.6 #Gulaal – 8.0 #DevD – 7.9 #ReturnOfHanuman – 7.6 #NoSmoking – 7.3 #BlackFriday – 8.4 Box office is not the sole yardstick to measure a filmmaker's calibre. Making money and making cinema are two very different things my bro. With the right commercial formula, even a dance choreographer can become a successful director and deliver a hit film. But creating stories that stay in the collective memory, holding a mirror to society, challenging audiences.. and forcing uncomfortable conversations... that's a far rarer achievement. So, #AnuragKashyap's contribution to Indian cinema is far bigger than any box office number.

#Ramayana = India’s reply to world cinema? Right now... it feels more like a reply to #Adipurush. This is not what we expected from a reportedly 4000 Cr budget film. Hoping the final film delivers the grandeur and authenticity this epic truly deserves. – at Mumbai, India

FACT: #Yash has always seen Indian cinema as one ecosystem, not through the lens of Bollywood vs regional industries. His focus has consistently been on pushing Indian cinema forward on the global stage. The narratives claiming he’s upset with Bollywood filmmakers or the makers of #Dhurandhar are FALSE, misleading, and completely unauthenticated. He never made such remarks. Report film clashes if you want.. but don’t add your own spin to it. Stories built on unnamed “sources” need accountability, not imagination. Release dates are an independent call. Clashes aren’t new. Every film finds its space. The real victory is INDIAN CINEMA.. whether it’s #ToxicTheFilm or #Dhurandhar2. Not manufactured controversies or engagement farming. SOURCE? Credible enough. And if needed, provable. Period

Border 2 Review - THUNDEROUS ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4/5) Finally watched #Border2.. and it’s an emotionally powerful war film that doesn’t just show conflict, but fills you with deep pride for our Indian soldiers. The screenplay is gripping, the characters are thoughtfully chosen, and the aggression, passion, simplicity, and spirit of soldiers from 1960–1971 are beautifully captured.. from letters bringing smiles or worry, to the innocence, grit, and love for the soil of the nation. From the seas to the land, mountains to the skies.. fighter jets soaring high and our soldiers taking on the enemy head-on.. every frame feels patriotic. #SunnyDeol’s screen presence is nothing short of a blessing. Every time he appears, a surge of raw energy and emotion hits hard. It’s the kind of performance that can breathe life into the dead and shake the enemy to the core. Those who trolled #VarunDhawan must watch his performance here.. his intensity, emotion, and commitment deserve applause. Full of fire and conviction. #DiljitDosanjh perfectly balances intensity with warmth, adding competition, Punjabi soul, and charm to his character. #AhaanShetty delivers with sincerity; his physicality and personality suit the role well, filling the space with confidence and purpose. The screenplay is one of the film’s biggest strengths.. flashbacks and present-day sequences are seamlessly woven. The first half builds emotional depth around the soldiers’ personal lives, while the second half turns into a full-fledged war ride, with nearly an hour of edge-of-the-seat battle sequences. Yes, it’s 3 hours 19 minutes long.. but once you’re in, you’re COMPLETELY IMMERSED.. mind, body, and soul. Especially Ghar Kab Aaoge song mein toh rona aaya mujhe. Your emotions for our soldiers don’t double, they multiply tenfold. This film makes you emotional for the soldiers, but their sacrifices also make you feel like STEEL. Definitely show this film to your family and children. “Jahan hamare Jawan khade hain, wahi hamara border hai.” Absolutely true. Jai Hind 🇮🇳🔥 #Border2Review #Bollywood #MovieReview

Today’s generation gets upset over small things.. followers, likes, breakups. But compared to the supreme sacrifices of our soldiers, none of it matters. #Border2 fills the heart, moistens the eyes, and every dialogue or scene brings those emotions rushing back. 🇮🇳🔥 The EMOTIONS After watching the film. #Border2Review

We Indians are quite emotional, but along with that emotion, the passion and aggression should also stay alive. And #Border2 has done exactly that. Watching this uncle’s review sets the whole chest on fire. 🔥 The AGGRESSION After watching the film. #Border2Review

Dear @AshwiniVaishnaw Ji, Who selects these films to represent India at the #Oscars, and with what mindset? Why is #India repeatedly shown only through poverty, misery, distortion and propaganda, as if that’s the only version of the country worth exporting? Is this done to make Western cinema look superior, or is there a deeper, deliberate agenda at play? The film in question pushes one-sided, delusional propaganda like "Jai Bhim, Jai Mim".. misuses a sensitive backdrop like COVID, and risks damaging India’s social fabric.. yet it was shamelessly sent to represent the nation globally. 🤔 I’m glad it was dropped from nominations. But the bigger issue remains: Why are such films selected in the first place? Who decides how India should be portrayed to the world.. and why is DIGNITY ALWAYS MISSING? This anger is justified. And this question must be asked. #Homebound

The makers of #Homebound should read about this man at least once and if they have the courage, they should make a film on him instead. His name was Jogender Nath Mandal. A Dalit leader who, before Partition, supported the Muslim League and played a significant role in the creation of #Pakistan. After Pakistan was formed, he even became its first Law Minister. But it didn’t take long for reality to hit him hard. The slogans of “Jai Bheem, Jai Meem”.. which trapped countless Dalits in lifelong ILLUSIONS..eventually exposed their truth to him. Mandal himself ended up returning to India as a refugee, forgotten and abandoned. Yet some filmmakers in India are still desperate to keep this “Jai Bheem, Jai Meem” delusion alive.. and that’s how films like Homebound are made. #Oscars me bhi bheje jate hai. Now Dear makers of Homebound, Try showing the truth.. if you have the guts. Make a film on him. At least please read about him. And stop misleading the people of India with selective sympathy and half-baked stories. Not just the makers of this film, but also its sympathizers, should read about #JoginderNathMandal. Period.

Tamil film #Parasakthi is now heading towards a DISASTER at the box office. After its opening day, the film witnessed a shocking '76% crash' by Day 3. Made on a ₹200+ Cr budget and released nationwide on 10 January, the film opened at ₹12.50 Cr net on Day 1 but dropped 20% on Day 2, that too on a holiday. Day 3 collections fell further to just ₹3 Cr net (Far below than expected), and on Day 4 the film is staying below ₹3 Cr net, clearly COLLAPSING at the box office. Day-wise India Net Collections: Day 1 (Sat) – ₹12.50 Cr Day 2 (Sun) – ₹10.00 Cr Day 3 (Mon) – ₹3.00 Cr Day 4 (Tue) – ₹2.50 Cr - 3.00Cr Total: ₹28 Cr+ net India (4 Days) A 75%+ drop.. This steep fall clearly indicates that the film has been rejected even in the Tamil circuit. The film is based on the 1960s Hindi imposition agitation, but its strongly anti-Hindi narrative seems to be hurting its wider acceptance. #BoxOffice #TamilCinema #Parasakthi #SudhaKongara

IMPPA urges Prime Minister @narendramodi to intervene against the ban on film #Dhurandhar by UAE and other Middle Eastern nations, calling it an unjust suppression of freedom of expression, despite CBFC certification, and requests diplomatic efforts to revoke the ban urgently.
