Shabdo (Bengali)- The film revolves around the life of a foley artist and shows how foley artists are an integral part of cinema but are royally ignored in Indian film industry. The film then delves into the weird obsession this foley artist has with shabdo (sound). After I watched the film, I wasn't really surprised why it won a National award because the film is worth the award,right from the start till the end. Kaushik Ganguly, the director has given a deep insight into how sounds are reproduced in a studio to match the visuals of a film and with how much conviction a foley artist works. Like they show the foley artist, Tarak flapping dried shal leaves to recreate the sound of pigeons flapping their wings, etc which is really interesting because such things happen in real in our film industry. The story moves forward with Tarak's obsession with sounds and how this obsession becomes a threat for himself. And the way the doctor treating Tarak finds a solution to the problem is also very interesting. Acting wise everyone is brilliant. Loved Raima Sen in the film, she actually acted in the film.
Would give the film a 4/5.
Now waiting for Kaushik Ganguly's next cinematic brilliance- Apur Panchali.🥳

just saw shool from 1999

Gori Tere Pyaar main

Ram Leela
Slow & dull in the first half , second was a bit better. Would've been a lot better if they had cut it down to 130-135 mins. Liked the locations & the gujju culture shown by SLB.
Performance wise both Ranveer & Deepika were good .. Supriya Pathak was amazing 👍🏼 , Gulshan whom i last saw in "Shaitan" did a decent work here too.
Overall , a one time watch

2.5/5

I also watched Lakeer Ka Fakeer starring Bigg boss 7 contestant Ajaz Khan , it had a good plot ,was based on the crime world of Mumbai.
All the actors did a good job especially the guy who played a corrupt Police Officer.

3/5

The Delivery Man - kinda crappy. 😆 Slow, serious, jokes weren't funny. Concept and actors were good, but the film was pretty average overall. 1.5/5.

Just watched "Dhoom 3" at PVR Select CityWalk, Delhi. It will be hard to write spoiler free review,but i will try.

Dhoom 3
It was entertaining like really entertajining but ypu know not as much as the biggest film of the decade should be But still It was worth the money Aamir was better than my expectations Actually he really carried the film like a true star Kat luked the best she ever has but her role was so useless If ypu are gonna use her as glamour quotiwnt still let her come on the screen atleast Abhi was decent n kinda disappointing like Kat But visually it was a real treat, the songs were fun to watch It should have been shorter thpugh, a bit too long for my taste
