Movie Review: A Celebration of Differences and Embracing of Impairments!- Finding Dory

***Spoiler Alert***
We haven't forgotten the time when little Nemo had us drooling. Swinging to it's magic. Wanting for more! And exactly then, Disney- Pixar comes up to serve the story of the forgetful fish, one of the most likeable characters in animation history, Dory. Not to mention how much everybody loves Ellen DeGeneres, she is magnificent with her voice acting. And no, the movie is not only a funny, cute animated flick but also carries a message!

The movie kicks off with Dory's childhood, with Charlie and Jenny, Dory's parents teaching her to deal with her forgetfulness (The baby Dory is one of the cutest character I've ever seen BTW..!). With that dream in her head, Dory wakes up just to forget about her parents, again, being just her usual self. However, with fragments of her past coming back into her memory, Dory remembers that she's got a family and that she needs to find them. With only one goal in mind, Dory starts a journey, a journey that Marlin is totally against but decides to help Dory, to pursue her parents. Put in a Septopus (an Octopus which has lost a tentacle), a mentally impaired seal, a mentally impaired bird, a visually impaired shark, a beluga whale that can't echo-locate and you've got yourself a great and funny adventure that's gonna give you the feels!

The movie is well crafted. It's so well crafted that it never feels like being out of the place. From Nemo's sarcastic comments to his dad to Hank's paranoia, the film keeps entertaining and has you giggle all the time. The very brief moment of "I like sand, sand is squishy" will stay with you long past you've left the theaters. The movie is in a way very different from it's predecessor, 'Finding Nemo', as the adventure is not exactly about finding Dory physically but more of finding back Dory in a philosophical way. The climax puts you at the edge of your seat and also makes you laugh your hearts out. Apart from all of that, movie offers stunning visuals, perfect music and more likeable characters.

The characters are chosen in a very peculiar way. With most of the characters having some kind of impairment, the movie tries to put forward a great message as well as entertaining. Though the message kinda gets overlooked by all the positivism and entertainment, it's not tough to see through with a little evaluation. The theme reminded me one of Tyrion's famous quotes, "Once you've accepted your flaws, no one can use them against you!". Kind of awesome!

Movie Review: An Improvement from "The Beginning", Yet Far from Greatness.- Baahubali 2- The Conclusion

Image
***Spoiler Alert!*** You'd be very well aware that I was quite disappointed with Baahubali- The Beginning if you've been following me. Though the movie had reached heights in case of VFX, the only department to credit is that of Cinematography and nothing else. Good Visuals doesn't necessarily make a good movie . As The Beginning ended on a note of ambiguity, audience of the movie craved for closure. This meant that the sequel already bagged all of it's audience from the first movie. With enough hype surrounding the movie, the producers didn't compromise on the quality of making it as it seemed as a safe bet. The first look and trailer, even with it's weird soundtrack, added to the hype. The movie is out and is making tons of money. However, a movie that makes a lot of money in India doesn't necessarily be a great movie. The movie starts off with a visual recap of important sequences from the first part, during the titles. The visuals are impressive d

Appreciation Post- Why Arjun Reddy is a Modern Classic!

Image
In the wake of Kabir Singh (Hindi) and Adithya Varma (Tamil), the most controversial of it's time, the original, Arjun Reddy (Telugu) is once again in the news. It's been over two years since Arjun Reddy hit the theatres and is still one of the most talked about in the film fraternity. While some are of the opinion that it's just another movie with glorification of drugs and alcohol and mistaking obsession with love, others are of the opinion that Arjun Reddy is one of those rare movies that reinvent filmmaking. Kabir Singh and Adithya Varma may or may not meet the expectations but Arjun Reddy will be remembered for generations to come. Before we dig deep, one important thing to be remembered is that Arjun Reddy is not a story of a perfect protagonist. It's the story of a person who is transforming. The essence of the movie lies in the raw feel it carries. Arjun Reddy is as close to reality so far from it. He has the same issues as every other college going kid an

Movie Review: Better Stay at Home and Stare into Nothingness!- Ae Dil Hai Mushkil

Image
***Spoiler Alert!*** Thanks to my sisters, I had to watch this movie which I wouldn't have otherwise! The best thing about this movie? The whole controversy stirred couple of weeks before it's release. Yup, that was much more entertaining! Though I didn't have much hopes from Karan Johar, I've always been an admirer of Ranbir Kapoor's acting, especially when he cries and looking at sensible subjects he usually chooses  (barring a few like Besharam, Roy e.t.c.) , I was tricked into believing there'll be something new in the movie. Oh boy, was I wrong! The movie starts off with Ayan (Ranbir Kapoor) being interviewed after he has become a successful singer. One of the questions from the interviewer makes him start his life story with Alizeh (Anushka Sharma) and Saba (Aishwarya Rai). Ayan has these obsessive feelings (ooh! creepy!!) towards Alizeh, a weak character who is obsessed (creepy part 2!!) with Ali (Fawad Khan). As Alizeh carries off to marry Ali af
