Middle age women's wet dream.

छोटे फूलों से भी छोटे , सिक्के दुखों के सभी के खोटे | Love is a privilege and Memories are shackles suffocating us to death. If one must ask what is worse than death? Then it is to survive partition with knowledge of the horror your family and friends were subjected to in front of your eyes. The movie is a token of empathy and mutual grief for everyone who went through it, survived and lived to die everyday by degeneracy of monsters who crawl even after decades like as anxiety, guilt, and helplessness.



A comprehensive guide of the usage of the F-Word, the N-Word and sophisticated dialogue among Men and Women.


Self believes triumph over everything and anxiety is a bitch that burns you.



Different forms of Mental sickness enveloped in beautiful scenes, amazing music powered by Obsession of zillion kinds.

Swades is a window of a Train moving across time. People, places and platform changes but not the uncomfortable character of crowd, their pseudo righteousness and outright disdain for beliefs that have not been challenged for a long time. Swades is relevant 2 decades after its release and i believe it will be relevant for another century. As education cultivate a purpose to make money, uplift generational poverty, the fear and anxiety to let go of caste differences will bind legs to the very land that helps us to move ahead. But well, like any other journey, people will get down on their destinations, while the train continue forward. Hope is another aspect of the movie. It inuritates and discomforts because it presents situations we have seen in our daily lives, but it also shows how people can come together for their children, collective good, and sheer will to be make India better, holistic. The sense of pride in one's religion, region, family and occupation are important to stay connected to our roots, identity but one must always strive to upgrade their beliefs and practices if the time demands and is obliged by morality.


Ratatouille in alternative universe.




Beautiful movie. I felt Happy, Sad, Joyful, and anguish. The revelation of reason Charlie's dissociative episodes is so good. Story misdirects you until the very end only to consume you, I was bewildered. Some stories makes one sympathetic , this one reveals empathy at different junctures of Charlie's journey of learning to deal, understand and make sense of his trauma.





A comic book edition Visualised

Yamuna changes direction, takes the form of the path it touches before it gives birth to life on it. The movie successfully portrays the unbearable duality of men: to curse the womb that nurtures them and knit the fabric that gives them the dignity they have a right on. Yamuna's child and the painters are extreme ends of this spectrum. It's tragic, but truthful, as it makes you wonder about the parallels that exist between Yamuna, a sex worker, or any woman who does something that the consciousness-less crowd deems unworthy. But we also see her conflicting hesitation, confronting guilt, connecting with art, and becoming confident and independent. The movie starts with her diving into a river and ends with her embracing the ocean, showing the sad state of a story where she stood tall only to become a cog in the wheel. I think, in the end, her paintings made her proud, modelling was her hard work, and continuing to do it was her revolution.



Cold.



Better than first one.



The sheer satisfaction, and the way She finishes things off completes the circle. The entire conversation about honesty and the superhero analogy by Bill. It was a treat.

It's a shame that I watched it after Maki's reincarnation. But this truly is probably the perfect combination of anime aesthetics, phenomenon dialogues and just ruthless action. What kept me engaged was the emotion driving the black mamba to go on a rampage.

Refreshing to see Brandon Fraiser do this. Leaves us with the question of what relationship we deem worthy/insignificant enough to buy and why?


Stifler's Mom 🤐🙏










The sound design was impeccable. It induced Fear, Trauma, keeping me on my nerves for entire duration of second half. The whole idea of keeping the central theme as rebirth of Shubhash, and the rope acting like umbilical cord is so damn cool. A treat to watch indeed.



This is the final act of Remorse. (Not Kindness). Oh this dreadful Agony!!
