The ROFL continues from prequel. While MAD was based on college premises, MAD Square is based on a wedding and the comedy of errors due to friends' interventions. Again, excellent direction, super humour and extremely witty. Certain inconsequential scenes also filled with full of mirth. Great way to pass a lazy Sunday!

Comedy from scene 1 till the last keeping audience on the edge of the seat to see what will befall next! At times, we feel why certain things were not kept as surprise but it is good it was not, since audience is one step ahead of the protagonists and hence expecting things to go wrong! Great dialog, wonderful comedy of errors and nice shift in balances with the story line. Great entertainer!

Based on life and career of Muthiah Muralidaran, this is a mediocre movie that re-shapes the history that spanned the spinner's life on how he climbed the ladder of Cricket. Good to know all of those things and glad that this movie was made indeed. If things had turned out well for him from the beginning, he could have achieved 1000 wickets instead of the 800 that he got. Anyways, movie is well-made but nothing great or inspiring or touching than the Man himself who fought against all odds to achieve what he did. Full kudos to Muthiah Muralidaran!

Note: After a long time, watched three movies on a single day!
A movie about the Von Erich family. Just saw tag line 'True story' and started watching despite knowing nothing about it. First scene was about wrestling and I didn't want any more of it. However, the movie had me interested, and I ended up watching the whole thing. Very clean and neatly made movie, good casting, set in 1960s and 1970s in Texas. It is both fascinating and saddening that so many of them brothers died so early. Cannot imagine what the parents would have gone through to see their sons dying one after the other...Nice but sad tale. Thank Goodness, one of them sons lives on!

Best part about Hong Kong airport? Free screenings of movies while waiting at the gate to board the flight! Thus this movie with daughter. Seemed like a nice movie at the beginning, so went on to watch the whole thing. Had nothing else to do anyways. Dialog & setting is good, casting is good but rather far too much killing (or trying to kill) scenes for my liking. Watched a Jim Carrey movie after a really long time.

Based on Donald Trump. Neatly made movie - capturing the significant parts. Casting is amazing because the parts played by the actors look very much like the real characters. Transition from being an apprentice to power-hungry is excellently portrayed by Trump. Worth a watch to know Trump's story. Nothing great though.

Well, wanted to watch this on the big screen considering we had watched the part 1 on the big screen (Paavani's first theater experience). Could not do that, but watched it on OTT platform. Same feelings as the first one - excellently made movie, narration and themed. Lots of wit and very much worth the watch.
Rating: Good.
Initially I felt movie-making and narrative was average and slow-paced but then it kind of fell in place, weaving in and out of past and present, excellently portraying the bond between the friends, the loopholes in the law enforcement agencies, the locals wanting to help, etc.. A truly unbelievable true story of a guy who escaped quite literally from the jaws of death, and more importantly, of the guy who went inside the jaws of death to pull the former out. And for that, this movie should be watched.

Suspense. Dark. Tense. Set in the amidst of Kerala jungle. Fantastic narration and script of a complicated novel where things keep changing, starting from the case of a missing revolver. Casting and characterization is great. Acting by all is wonderful. Much like a dramatic climax, pretty much everything gets revealed at the end, which is good. But it should have been deduced instead of confessed. Otherwise, great movie.

Jovial, witty, college-based, total fun. Every scene from start to finish brings smiles. Wonderful & catchy dialog, acting, casting, setting, etc..

A Clint Eastwood movie. A true story. Great to see the leadership from Nelson Mandela to encourage the local (failing) sports team at the same time inspire citizens to stand by that team. Morgan Freeman and Matt Damon have acted well but movie-making doesn't stand out or send goosebumps. Watchable for the event that happened post Apartheid.

Well, from beginning till end, its war-zone and killing and bloodshed and swords getting pierced into bodies. Not my type of movie. I heard good reviews of this movie, so thought I will watch it on the big screen but repented. The tale is good (especially considering it is true story) but the movie-making was average. For the sake of Sambhaji, you can view.

Another movie with daughter. Again, felt at times, I could've skipped it. Not that it was not good. Just ok-dokey. Wit's good, animation's wonderful, characters are good. In the beginning, tale is too hard to understand (just like Part 1), but then jigsaw parts fall in place slowly.

Gave company for the daughter to watch this movie. Too chauvinistic - both on female and male side. Could have taken the gender bias out of the tale to keep it more child-friendly. Felt like more of a Man vs Woman war than a fun-filled, wit-filled kids movie. But showcasing the creator was a good idea. A movie that can be passed.
