The Freelancer (2023)
Finally an Indian show with attention to details
The show starts at the same pace like most Indian defence/ intelligence shows..but what you notice soon is unlike most Indian shows this one definitely has someone looking and validating the details.
From using foreign languages in dialogues, accurate uniforms of countries, real weapons(well mostly) and also creating a decent overall flow is pretty good. Also the story is fairly grounded,the general dialogue delivery is fairly crisp..none of the usual Bollywood drama.
Definitely a good watch and a pleasant change from the usual commercial shows being staged these days in the name of national pride.
MH370: The Plane That Disappeared (2023)
An absolute disgrace to "documentary" genre
This documentary is the perfect example of trash that Netflix is now staging to somehow keep afloat. The documentary feels like the work of a teenage amateur QAnon follower! So let's start...it has to be the pilot!...no wait..it's the Americans...no wait...the Russians!!!!!!....noooooo....the Chinese!! Wait...could it be Australia???
Does anyone at Netflix ever actually see the stuff they are putting out?
Does anyone consider what this would do to the families of the crash victims? On moral grounds, tainting the names of so many people who actually tried to help?!
Netflix should be ashamed.
She (2020)
Pathetic
With directors creating quality content like Sacred games..and here we have this. Police undercover operator given 2 days training and a dog whistle for emergencies! Yes a dog whistle !!!!
The director tried to gain some attention with overt sexual references and selling C grade level ideas, but after the first episode I realized it was muchworse...poor direction, poor acting, poor story cohesion..and the worst...illogical and impractical situations which have no ties to reality...or actually to the story being told. This show is a complete disappointment for any true crime fan. Just Horrible!
Jamtara: Sabka Number Ayega (2020)
Finally the new generation of thespians has arrived
Somewhere from above , legends like Om Puri, Farooq Shaikh, Smita Patil, Irrfan Khan and many many more are smiling down at these kids.
The class acting of India, which doesn't need dance numbers, action sequences , 100+ crore sets and costumes, to deliver a power and enriching performance..is finally here.
These kids have really done well! A show worth watching several times and delivering pure fact oriented, no nonsense drama...with a acting which is surprising mature!
No offense to commerical media makers, but shows like this really prove that you don't need flash and bang to make classic screen content.
Delhi Crime (2019)
Decent show with a few shortcomings
Decent show with a solid base of historic crimes from New Delhi...but what makes a good crime show? Details...
Police officers NEVER use so much English...like ever...police, paramilitary forces, armed forces..the general medium of communication in India is Hindi.
Secondly the use of western profanity..almost unheard of in Indian government circles.
But this show has been made to cater to the international Netflix viewership...so they have anglicized it..
Also major overacting by the lead character..
But all in all...a decent watch for the idle mind..
They must take a page out of shows like "The Wire"
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds: A Quality of Mercy (2022)
Star Trek is BACK people!!!!
Just hearing Scotty on the comms was good enough for me! Don't particularly like the "new" Kirk...lacks the boyish charm...but overall this episode was Star Fleet quality good! Stand off with the Romulans, Klingon time crystal and Kirk stepping into the controlled chaos role! Fantastic!
Samrat Prithviraj (2022)
Please, just one accurate..like one accurate historical movie please
This movie is an eye sore..right from the random songs to hitting every note from Hindutva to women's rights. What happened to good historical Indian movies? Shatranj ke Khiladi, Junoon..and so many others..why must we taint Indian history like this? This movie is absolutely terrible. Watch it if you must, but this is a Bollywood fest in the 11th century.
Gangubai Kathiawadi (2022)
SLB : Sets, costume..check...story,acting,execution...lost some where in the costumes and set
As expected...another Broadway extravaganza...costumes...theatrics..music..bright lights...color explosion...
Story : once again a twisted version of history.
Acting : stage acting
Execution :.................for lack of a better phrase..pea soup.
Reacher (2022)
Steven Seagal cleans up town remake
Bad town, crooked cops, huge conspiracy at an international level.. ex military guy , beats the bad guys, blows up stuff, says cool one liners and cleans the streets..totally original.
Star Trek: Discovery: All Is Possible (2021)
Starfleet has gone.
So, before people start accusing me of body shaming and breaking culturally accepted norms, I must clarify.
We've grown up watching Lt Tasha Yar or a Dr Beverly Crusher , Captain Janeway and many other women in star fleet officer roles. To us starfleet was an elite organization, which only accepted the best of the best and produced the finest officers in the galaxy..so much so that even Vulcans attended it.
Therefore like any organization requiring elite skills , like say SEALs or Army Rangers on other tv and film media you expect fit and the ideal candidates..people who represent the standard that generations look up to.
I fail to see how overweight and rather emotionally unstable people now represent that standard in this show. There is nothing to look up to or even strive to achieve.
Star Trek: Discovery (2017)
Please take this unholy transgression off the air!
The Star Trek name will forever be tainted! Please save the legacy!
60 years and this is what the new makers bring. Poor writing. Poor character development. Poor acting. Poor direction. Not to mention, zero presence of the old star trek values...not star fleet graduates, but star fleet junkies...
Bhuj: The Pride of India (2021)
IMDB should allow Negative Ratings
This is by far the lowest point in Hindi War movies genre. It can't get an worse than this. There are movies shot by amateur movie makers which are better than this.
TONNES of money spent on Visual FX copied from half a dozen places , most noticeably "Dog Fights " on the History Channel.
Direction = -100/10
Story = -50/10
Acting : No comments
Overall : Pure Unadulterated trash. 30 mins of my life I will never get back.
Shershaah (2021)
Good motive. Poor execution.
Hats off to the men of 13 JAK RIF and their sacrifices for defending the honour and sovereignty of this nation.
As for the movie, some one please make a movie ABOUT THE ARMY and it's MEN. Don't add Bollywood Maggi masala to a heroic tale and ruin it for the generations to come. Some things should be above box office sales.
Spenser Confidential (2020)
Trash
Mark Walhberg + Boston based story...Very original.
Star Trek: Picard (2020)
Engage!
The scene with Data and Capt. Picard playing cards took me back 30 years to "The Measure of a Man". Words can't begin to describe the feeling of being a child again.
Hats off to Sir Patrick Stewart for coming back on screen again to bring the "real" Star Trek back to life.
War (2019)
Indian Intelligence in Bollywood = Male Models
First sign of a trashy Intel movie...
Referring to Army officers by their ranks..Colonel , lieutenant, captain..blah blah
Drive (2019)
-500/10 . Do not watch. Seriously.
IMDB doesn't allow below 0 ratings.
There really needs to be some quality control for Netflix India..this is insulting to the street racing spirit of India.
Bard of Blood (2019)
Good Story..pathetic execution
What makes a good espionage series? Details, details, details...this series has so many flaws that it's really hard to watch beyond the second episode. I saw reviews below questioning the way the RAW has been potrayed , but then no one truly knows the true nature of clandestine operations. That being said just talking about low hanging fruits... the Taliban are a joke, the pashto is crap, the location is Leh..Quetta is way greener..if I create a lot..will hit 100 items.
Please watch some other intelligence based shows..take a page outta them
Uri: The Surgical Strike (2019)
Another Bollywood Army Movie
Was hoping to see a well researched , well executed movie..turns out this was another Bollywood drama with no parallel to the real ops of a SF unit. All the bling and shine of Bollywood ...felt like the movie was a quick attempt to capitalize on the current sensation know as a 'surgical strike'... wasn't expecting a Black Hawk down level but this is not even in the ballpark.
