Class of 83 (2020)
Clean Harry!
I saw this is in USA. Very badly dubbed in English. A soulless Dirty Harry or Clean Harry in Desi language. Nothing to lose if you missed this.
Choked (2020)
Money doesn't TALK!
Plain boring writing, direction, music, acting etc. Saiyami is so robotic in the movie, I couldn't watch her after 15 mins of honest but very difficult try. but I kept watching movie hoping money will talk but paisa nahi bolata hai. This could have been (easily) made into a nice low budget thriller (as AK is known for his shoestring budget) but nothing happens in the movie because AK was after Mr Modi rather than giving us a good thriller.
As I feared before the start of this (choking) movie, AK is very predictable, same art direction, same middle class chawl, same paint on the wall, same music, same cinematography, same nonsense dialogues and conversations. The moment a director becomes predictable he should stop making films. No more one time wonder AK's movie I am going to watch in the future, AK is getting worst and worst after each movie.
Baaghi 3 (2020)
Story about a chocolate boy who kills enemy in Slow-Mo.
If you think people can't go dumber any more you are wrong, there is no limit to dumbness. This movie is nothing but just embarrassment to Indian movies and more than that it just insults you in every frame. Just avoid it even in current lockdown.

Ijaazat (1987)
Very emotional journey!
I have always appreciated movies that depict true human relationships and emotions, and Gulzar is one of the best at bringing these elements to the big screen. Although some people may consider flashbacks to be a thing of the past, Gulzar uses them so beautifully that even after almost 25 years, I cannot recall any other movie that blends the past and present as seamlessly as he does - it's his signature style.
I have watched all of Gulzar's films, and I believe that Ijaazat stands out the most. Rekha, who is a talented actress with both beauty and brains, does an incredible job in this complex role. I cannot imagine anyone else playing this character - only Rekha could have pulled it off so well. The way she portrays the role of a mature wife who keeps her home a HOME is simply remarkable. She has some beautiful dialogues, such as "aadate bhi chali jati hai, adhikar nahi jate," which are delivered so wonderfully in the film.
There are so many things in the movie that I could write about, but one of the standout features is Naseer's perfect portrayal of his role. You can truly feel that he is in love with both women, and this emotional attraction between the characters is what sets this film apart from others in Hindi cinema. The movie's locations, such as Mahinder's house and Sudha's house, are beautifully shot and add to the film's overall charm.
The only regret I have is the quality of the print, which has no clarity and makes it difficult to watch nowadays. However, I strongly believe that some filmmakers should never stop making films, and Gulzar is one of them. This timeless classic will be appreciated more and more by future generations, and it's a shame that more movies like this are not being made today.
