Murder Mystery 2

 Binge watched immediately after the prequel. Did not find this as good as part 1 but it had all the same  characteristics - awesome adventure, setting, twists/turns, Poirot-like situations, witty dialog, the ending, etc.. If anyone likes Part 1, Part 2 is definitely unmissable!

Murder Mystery

 Wow, talk about making movies just like how Murder Mystery novels are written. This one's a cracker of an adventure, like Indian Jones, but very much modern combined with Hercule Poirot's setting where he gets into a situation and everyone starts dying around him, and he has to sleuth it out. Jennifer and Adam have done a fabulous job producing and acting, the dialog is superb, action sequences are real, European setting is always wonderful and twists and turns till the very end keeps the audience fully entertained. This reminded me of so many Murder Mystery books that I used to read once upon a time! 

PS: Third consecutive hattrick movie day!

Miss Shetty Mr Polishetty

 This movie is like a sinusoidal curve but it starts off with a trough, becomes better, reaches the crest with some nice humor and then starts going back to trough and finishes off with a rise towards the crest. Good innocent and plain acting and narration, comedy is bearable but good at times, bores a bit at other times, relates to the new generation, watchable once. More of a drama genre than comedy.

Khel Khel Mein

 Very sleeky at the beginning, but fizzles out. Not much of a comedy although it claims to be. Entire movie is based on a game that is played overnight where mobile is not private. And it just so happens that pretty much everyone is hiding something or the other. Amateurish acting by almost all. Becomes a bore after few minutes, since there is a lot of conversation, most of which is not pleasing either.
