Arishadvarga (2019)
Arishadvarga- A movie not to be missed!
Went back to the Cinemas after say 10 months and that's perhaps the longest break, one forced by Covid 19.. It was worth every minute of the going back to PVR to see this super thriller of a movie, Arishadvarga.... The trailer did give glimpses what to expect from the movie and the expectations were exceeded watching the narrative unfold and it is a gripping narrative at that.. A fantastic plot and a story superbly told by the Director Aravind Kamath.. .. It's two hours of awesome entertainment as the murder mystery goes is unravelled through a series of twists and turns.. Excellent photography too, even though the storyline doesn't call for any exotic locales.. All the actors have done a great job, each one of them getting into their characters very well and have done full justice to their roles...
The BGM is apt an adds well to the suspense element.. The one song Gadiyaarake a haunting number that plays through the length of the movie ..
The kind of movie that doesn't let you look away from the screen lest you miss some action... Loved it..
We need such movies to get people from their Covid created panic to walk into the theatres, to get the industry on it's feet, to encourage more new film makers to experiment and present such new ventures...
Thanks to the Production team for giving us this beautiful movie, it was really like a whiff of fresh air.. This deserves a longer run at the cinemas.. And yes,i might go back and watch it another time...
Babru (2019)
BABRU- A must watch Movie
Was not able to watch the movie at the cinemas due to a specific reason and i had been waiting to watch it and finally caught up with it yesterday.. There are some movies which begin slowly and then become exciting when they pick up the pace after few minutes and finally end up as wonderful ones.. But Babru begins with a bang, the opening scenes are so good that if you are watching the movie in the cinemas you better be before time or you will miss the plot from the beginning itself..
Loved the screen play and the way the story takes shape during the course of the movie. The pace hardly slows down and takes us through unexpected twists and turns even as we are driven across the US routes and highways offering us some breathtaking locales along the way.
A movie with few characters actually which are interwoven quite well. Believe me, even 20 minutes into the story you won't have a clue what's the thriller factor is about and where the suspense would lead us to. While the 1st half of the movie tends to move on the lines you would have expected it to, say reach the destination with some amount of surprises and some action and with perhaps a predictable ending, it's in the second half when the plot thickens and you have the story racing at break neck speed and it's some what akin to the pace of BABRU the car being driven all along the length of the movie that keeps you at the edge of the seat( in my case,my sofa🙂)..
The movie ends quite quickly after the suspense heightens... At the end of it you will really love the drive and may end up thinking, well that's not a long drive actually..
Loved the BGM.. The photography captures the awesome locales very well... No unnecessary characters flitting in and out of the frames.. The spanish dialogues add some variety to the screen play and so do those actors..
some super performances from the main actors - Mahi hiremath who looks and acts cool getting into the character easily.. Sunny Moza -with a new look a la Virat kohli,strutting around with a golf club(not a cricket bat!) and looking very mean and cold...
And namma Suman Nagarkar who's back with a bang with BABRU..
On the negative side, you would some times feel that the movie is going slow and secondly there are perhaps 3-4 scenes which were not necessary or could have been shortened.. Overall a slick movie, the plot will have you hooked to it..
Loved it, thanks for this movie Guru and Suman.. Suman Nagarkar Gurudev.. Congratulations to the cast and crew for a fabulous job!
