Dhurandhar movie final thoughts: 🌟 🌟🌟

I've to call out the two cheap exploitative scenes that are designed to ignite and provoke - it's irresponsible, to say the least.

But I really liked this movie a lot. Go watch it. It's a terrific genre movie.

Dhurandhar: As far as all the pearl clutching, outrage can't be selective. You can't have different rules 4 your allies. I dont understand the people who will champion the Voice of Hind Rajab & find Dhurandhar offensive. Moral outrage from a vantage point is as dubious as the politics of this movie.

Dhurandhar: The two standouts are Rakesh Badi & Sara Arjun (Jhanvi, Sara, Ananya take notes from her, please).

With the opening shot of the sunglasses invoking Scorsese Casino, to, the hyper violence reminceint of Tarentino, Dhar knows how to stage scenes with great skill.

Dhurandhar 3/3:
The first half is brilliant, the rapid fire editing, the title cards dropping, the music is nuts, the casting is superb.
AK receiving raves gives a rather bland performance. Slow motion shots with bombastic background score doesn’t make a great performance. Swag ain't acting, bro.

DHURANDHAR(2/3)
A towering performance by @ranveersingh who is magnetic and restrained. Giving us a character with an outsized physicality that is so acutely internalised, his face and body are a roadmap of emotions: hope, terror, and horror.

Dhurandhar: 🌟 🌟🌟 (1/3)
A testosterone fulled smash that is as riveting as exhausting. Like Biglows ZDT, Dhurandhar is impeccably directed action thriller that deploys great skill with questionable politics that will outrage the left & embolden the right But purley as a genre movie, it is terrific

We need 📸 evidence please 🙏

Love the humour, and the movie moved swiftly. Agree Italian stylish for sure.

Finally watched *Agent Vinod* @bethlovesbollywood.bsky.social recommendation and loved it. The rabta Song sequence fight scene is a blast! Saif is on fire & and love everything Raghavan does.

These actors, these face cards, this movie. Jude Law was robbed of his Oscar for this, & Gwyneth should have won hers for this. This movie is perfectly cast and directed. Terrific on every rewatch.

@melbfilmfest.bsky.social is still on go watch, some amazing movies lined up. Here is my interview with the Melbourne International Film Festival artistc director on Lets Talk, Melbourne podcast

Melbourne, if you've not already, go check out the @melbfilmfest.bsky.social here is a link to my interview with the artistic director of the film festival. This week I'm watching Resurrection, Secret Agent, Drunken Noodles & a new Ira Sachs movie. Sirat left me unnerved, rattled, hypnotised, broken

Tysm. Yes, United Colours of Melbourne movie fans ha 😆

All those morans who went on abt SRK being a victim of non compliance with the govt in Aryan Khan episode, owe everyone an apology 🙄 he just won a national award for Jawan, a movie that advocates for people to vote! national awards are given by the govt of India. So stop with gaslighting nonsense.

The National Awards winners are a joke. Never have i seen a celebration of mediocrity at this scale. We're officially in the era of stupid. #nationalawards

Friends,I need some help. As the Lets Talk, Melbourne podcast evolves, I'd love to hear your thoughts on topics, stories, discussions you want to hear & be informed on.

And if you need a reminder on the podcast, you can listen to all episodes on all platforms.

Okay, Madam Webb is really bad, but I had more fun watching this train wreck than any Raju Hirani movie post Lage Raho and/or any Salman movie in the past 8 years or so

I need to rewatch. But Amit Trevadi music is so good.

Saathiya (2002), she is so good in this movie. Hey Ram (2000) - (not a movie i like) - but she is very watchable.

SRK and his fans. You are all boring. Let our queen go do international relationship management. #Aishwarya #shahrukhkhan #metgala

Pitu grand plan for sunny paji #sunnydeol

@bethlovesbollywood.bsky.social and Pitu answer Lets talk, Melbourne podcast listeners questions on movies. It's so much fun.

Look at Sashi. omg.

Movies I rewatched this weekend:

5. Ladies Vs Ricky Bhel: A terrific cast, but take #parinetichopra and recast every #aliabhatt movie with her, every Bhatt movie will get elevated (before you roll your eyes, watch her in this and imagine her as Rani, thats the movie we deserve).

Movies I watched this weekend

4. Another Simple Favour: silly, stupid, fun with a sensational #blakelively & #annakendrick murder in Capri.

Movies I watched/rewatched this weekend.

3. Guru: AB over acts, Ratnam over directs, but Aishwarya, her face, her performance is a divine, hypnotic gift. Rajiv Menon cinematography is soaked in star struck bright lights & Mallika dances like a dream.

Movies I watched:

2. Birth: Jonathan Glazer has made the sublime (Under your Skin) to the ridiculous (Zone of interest), but his Birth is mesmerising. Kidman gives her career best performance. She casts a spell from the time you lay your eyes on her. The spell stays even after the end credits.
