90 Feet from Home

Not really sure but saw it thinking it is inspired by True story. A very dark movie, filled with domestic abuse. The background score is apt for such genre, and the intensity of the victim & culprit roles are very well enacted. Not really sure if I enjoyed watching it but there have been great reviews about it. See this one for example: https://www.indyred.com/90feetfromhome.html.

Trip to Paradise

Well, after watching the trailer, we felt there was no need to watch the movie because the entire storyline is shown, so there is practically no surprises. But, at the same time, the trailer has so many humorous scenes that one does feel like watching for the humor more than the story itself. And we were glad we watched it. Especially since we recently returned from Bali! The movie was like a breath of fresh air, in itself! George C and Julia R have done a fabulous job for their ages especially with the rapid dialog delivery scenes. The script is super witty. Location is great but then Nature helped them a lot with that! Ending is in fact a surprise indeed! Overall, a great watch!

Mission Raniganj

A thriller, and narration is perfectly aligned for the genre. While the movie itself was an edge-of-the-seat, I wonder how the real lives were of the victims and their families during those crucial hours when the miners got stuck underneath. The true story is definitely worth the watch. Akshay Kumar has done good justice to the role. The politics, the undercurrent emotions, the family-angle, the time-factor, the lose-all-hope situations, etc. are all directorial master-pieces. Of course, the real Jaswant Singh Gill is the true hero! A big salute to him!
