Main Tera Hero, My opinion

A Gen Z's Honest Review: This movie was peak brain rot of 2014. It was the perfect mix of comedy, action, and the iconic Varun Dhawan energy. This movie's cast consisted of Varun Dhawan playing Seenu, Illeana D'Cruz as Sunaina, Nargis Fkhri, Arunoday Singh as Angad, Anupam Kher as Vikrant Singhal, Rajpal Yadav as Peter, and Saurabh Shukla as Bubbli. I consider this movie "brain rot", but in a good way, because it had the most ridiculous scenes, stories, and lines I have ever only ever seen in other Varun Dhawan movies. Varun Dhawan has played many roles in various movies over the years, but none of them will ever be as iconic as this role. Seenu has the looks of a golden retriever but the deviousness of a sly fox. I love the slow change in characteristics over time for Seenu and Angad. Seenu goes from being not taken seriously to being a person to be a little mindful of as not to upset him. Angad goes from looking like a scary madman to a lost child. He just looked so sad and confused near the end I almost felt bad for him(Almost). I think this movie also had some chatpate(iyk, yk) songs such as "Palat- Tera Hero Idhar Hain" and "Galat Baat Hai". You would be lying if you said you weren't bobbing your head along to these songs. I think rather than having meaningful songs like "Daastan E" in Om Shanti Om they had addictive songs that you just could't get out of your head. It takes talent to make music like that. Much kudos to Arjit Singh. I also just really enjoyed the randomness of the entire movie It was as if someone was rolling a dice to decide what event would happen next. It was the type of comedic chaos only 2019 could pull off. I recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys watching comedic, chaotic energy. On the Gen Z Scale, I give this movie a 7.5/10.

Jagga Jasoos, My Opinion

A Gen Z’s Honest review: This movie was truly one of a kind. I mean, it was just so complex, and serious yet carefree, and funny. This movie’s cast consisted of Ranbir Kapoor as Jagga, Katrina Kaif as Shruti, Saurabh Shukla as the teacher, Saswata Chatterjee as Tutti Futti Bagchi, and Nawazuddin Siddiqui as Bashir Alexander. Let’s start from the beginning in which Jagga solves the murder mystery.  The scene where he is singing while dancing AND explaining The Who, what, when, and why always amazes me because the way the people in the background are depicting the tower, the knot, the people all with just their bodies is truly remarkable. Also, the amount of creativity it takes for a writer to write a script for a character who only speaks while singing or rhyming has to be appreciated. I still don’t understand how such a serious topic was turned into such a funny and lighthearted series of events. I mean, it was about illegal gun suppliers, but they managed to turn it into a rom com. I think the reason it was so unserious was because of the absolutely unrealistic ways the characters would get out of risky situations, Shruti being an actual certified clutz, and Jagga, either just straight stuttering or singing like an off brand Disney musical character. I also, loved how the whole story was technically "written" by Shruti and was being narrated by her to a bunch of kids at a meet and greet. Speaking of Shruti being a certified clutz, I always found it so funny the unrealistic and incredulous ways Shruti would get hurt. The girl fell out of a window while evading the police, it gets to a point where it's all just unbelievable. What else I found was funny was how they would evade the bad guys it took the phrase "a series of unlikely events" to a whole other level. Overall, this movie was very enjoyable and taught me new things. I give this movie a 7.5/10 on the Gen Z Scale.

Forensic: The Truth Lies Within, My Opinion

A Gen Z's Honest Review: This movie is one of my favorite crime thriller movies so far. It was such a complex movie with even more complex characters and story plot. This movie's cast consisted of Vikrant Massey, Radhika Apte, Narendra Gupta, Prachi Desai, and Rohit Roy. I really liked the complex backstory Johhny Khanna, played by Vikrant Massey, and Si Megha Joshi, played by Radhika Apte had. It deepened the whole desperation of finding the murderer throughout the movie. The scene with that boy who was a murderer from a young age always gives me the chills. It really makes me understand the pain of being pushed to favor another sibling. Again, when. he is seen on the seesaw set with Aanya it shows he doesn't hate just girls, but the father who made him hate his own sister. I think in a way a reason I enjoyed this film as much as I do is because of the psychological aspect of it. It makes us think of each character and why they could be the murderer. I know for a fact that I though that Aanya was the murderer solely off the way she was portrayed due to her past. I mean, her twin sister died in a freak accident at the fair when they were young, then people whom she knows start being kidnapped and murdered. Kudos to the film maker for that because it was solely due to the type of shots taken and the lighting. The writer of this movie deserves SO MUCH credit though. I mean, the level of complexity written throughout this movie is remarkable. I definitely recommend this movie to any crime thriller lovers and anyone who can handle the suspense. I rate this movie a 8.7/10 on the Gen Z Scale.

Golmaal Again, My Opinion

A Gen Z's Honest Review: For this movie I have only 7 words "Watch it, take notes, and watch it again". I have spent too many of my childhood nights watching this movie until my sides hurt. Words cannot describe the amazing memories I have watching this movie. I remember being so scared while watching it the first few times because I didn't fully understand the movie. The star cast of this movie consists of Ajay Devgn as Gopal, Shreyas Talpade as Laxman, Kunal Khemu as Laxman also, Tushhar Kapoor as Lucky, Arshad Warsi as Madhav, Parineeti Chopra as Khushi, Neil Nitin Mukesh as Nikhil, Prakash Raj as Vasu Reddy, Johnny Lever as Pappi Bhai, Sanjay Mishra as Babli Bhai, Murali Sharma as inspector Dande, Mukesh Tiwari as Vasooli Bhai, Nana Patekar, and Tabu as Anna. For this movie, I think the entire storyline was so funny and the chemistry of all these different characters and personalities was just so good. I mean, Gopal is strong willed, Laxman (Shreyas) is Gullible, Madhav is devious, Lucky is wise, and Laxman(Kunal) is childish. In the end, they all stand up and stick together for Khushi. Let's start off with the big, the huge, the obvious : The Comedy! This movie was a treasure trove of laughter. Let's go in chronological order of my favorite scenes. Since the begining we are seeing a VERY particular character, Babli Bhai who just has these amazing spellings of words in english. Such as "B, double o, T, Y, Bhootni" or "ooo loo loo" or the diabolical spelling of Pret atma. Or, the scene where Gopal crashes out over the last samosa. That entire sequence makes me laugh even more than last time every time I watch it. It's so chaotic, funny, and somehow calculated. Is it just me or is the entire "Hone waali bibi, ho chucki beti nikli" comment is wild. I mean, thats just so sad, cos you were in love with her, turned out to be your own daughter (figuratively), and then you find out she's dead. But of course before that all even happens, we have the legendary and chaotic scene sequence when they all find out she's a ghost. My favorite part of the sequence (if not all of it) was when Laxman(Kunal) tries to make the ghost go away using the cross but ends up being slapped into deafness by the ghost. It was like that one trend online, "Expect the unexpected" where things would just be so unpredictable, chaotic, and VERY funny. I love this movie with all my life, and would definitely reccomend this movie for all ages and people, its a classic comedy movie that can be enjoyed by all who watch. I give this movie a 9.5/10 on the Gen Z scale.

Baadshaah, My Opinion

A Gen Z's Honest Review: I feel like I often do not go in chronological order when I talk about movies, so lets try that for a change. First of all, the cast. This movie starred Shah Rukh Khan, Twinkle Khanna, Johnny Lever, Amrish Puri, Rakhee Gulzar, Pankaj Dheer, Sachin Khedekar. The beginning sequence starts with showing Badshaah and his winning back diamonds from a casino for his client. I really liked the detailing in Badshaah's entrance when the doors that looked like cards were specifically the King of Hearts. The glasses that Badshaah's associate uses for them to win the diamonds was so clever, and honestly unexpected, it was the exact kind of raw, pure comedy that Johnny Lever is known and loved for. Despite being a side character, Johnny Lever made this movie so much funnier. Moving on, our brave hero fights bad guys, jumps over furniture, bamboozles the bad guys, and then VERY bravely jumps out a window to run from and dog and lands nonchalantly in his own car. The following dance sequence movies me to tears(of laughter) the song "Main toh hoon pagal" was so fitting to its name. The dancing, the facial expressions, people, idioms, colors, and chaos REALLY, and I mean REALLY made the song what it is today. It was so random, it felt like a fever dream, it really contributed to hte whole attribute of the song of being crazy. The scene with the grandmas playing guitar rock music was so unexpected and funny, I laughed WAY more than I should have. Moving on, Badshaah's office is also something I need to talk about because it just makes NO sense. I believe that he can change things around in his house to make it look like an office, hospital, and home, but how is he not getting caught? I mean, surely if anyone outside the house was asked, they could've told her, "that's not actually a hospital", or just made a remark like "Huh, that hospital wasn't here last time, or thirty seconds ago". Also, the little nod to Baazigar was top notch. I mean, is it just me or anyone else, because I love when movies have like a nod to real life movies, people, and dialogues. It makes me feel like a part of something, which is probabley why Om Shanti Om is one of my favorite movies. Moving on to the main mixup. I was kind of impressed in a way of the complexity of the confusion. I mean, What are the chances that a man gets assumed to be a CBI agent after the original is killed, and is fake is replaced with him, even so, he manages to get the secret weapons of the CBI agent, not get killed even after multiple tries, manages to win back the girl he likes, complete his own, and the CBI mission, and not get mauled my a dog by singing. That really takes some dedication and good luck. I just really enjoyed this movie because of the straight comedy. The only problem I had with this movie was that it wasn't accessible in my country to watch. I give this movie a 9.5/10 on the Gen Z Scale.

Dhurandhar: The Revenge, My Opinion(Post #2)

A Gen Z's Honest Review: Continuing from the last post, I still have so many things to go over. For example one of the most expected yet unexpected scenes, when Hamza gets his identity blown. I think that Tittu, Jaskirats childhood friend already had a suspicion that Jaskirat was an Indian agent due to his vanishing under mysterious circumstances. So, when he arrived at the airport he recognized his friend, and waited until they were alone to confirm his suspicions. That scene sequence was so sad because Hamza didn't want to kill Tittu, just stop him from telling anyone. So, when he accidently kills him, he also has to end up killing Alam to cover his tracks. I know we all had that huge reaction when we found out that Jameel Jamaali is an Indian agent, but the thing is, is that we were almost told in the beggining of the movie about him. Before Jaskirat goes to Pakistan he is told that there would be someone in Pakistan who is from Indian intelligence whom he would not contact him unless it was absolutely necessary. We all assume it is Alam, but Alam is constantly in contact with Hamza. It also then makes sense why Jameel Jamaali is never actually seen doing illegal activities, and he is also not on Jaskirat's hit list. I keep using the names Hamza, and Jaskirat throughout these post because to me, Jaskirat and Hamza are separate people. Jaskirat is not Hamza and Hamza is not Jaskirat. Some thing I LOVED about this movie is how much it aligns with real world events. I mean, sure we all hear about this person dying and that person dying, and notes being banned and all that. However, director Aditya Dhar portrays it in an understandable way. He shows that all these things happening and kind of gives a reason for it. Let's take SP Chaudhry Aslam, for example. You may have known he died in a bomb blast, but the way Aditya Dhar gives it an entire backstory, reasoning, and realism is truly unmatched. I've always enjoyed historical fiction movie but Dhurandhar The revenge is truly above and beyond. Another example is Dawood Ibrahim. He is still not confirmed dead and is supposedly not in good health. You may have known that, but the way this movie shows why he got sick, and how he got sick is truly unique. I feel that this movie is very important to watch because it gives the viewers a clear message "THIS is the new India". You don't mess with us and get away with it. Overall, this movie was amazing and I would definetly recommend this to all people to watch especially teens. I will say that this movie was very gory so do not watch it if you are sensitive to violence. However, it was amazing and worth watching in the best ways possible, so definetly watch it! I give this movie a 9.2/10 on the Gen Z Scale. Next Up, Badshaah!

Dhurandhar: The Revenge, My Opinion(Post #1)

A Gen Z's Honest Review: I've seen a LOT of movies where the first movie is REALLY good, and the second one is just pathetic. Thankfully for this movie, the first one was great and the second one was even better!! The entire story of both these movies combined was VERY past, past, and present. The first movie showed us the past, and gave hints and glances at the VERY past and present(If that makes sense?). I think that was one of the main reasons why the movie's sequel worked so well. People REALLY wanted to watch the second movie. The edge of your seats thriller and suspense was to DIE for!(Hah! See what I did there?) Let's talk about the music first. The tracks for this movie did not disappoint at all! The very first song, "Aari Aari" was somehow so well fitted that once again it felt as though the music was naturally a partof the background. I love how you can feel the raw, ruthless, unforgiving rage of Jaskirat Singh Rangi, who is played by Ranveer Singh. Something I noticed was that the statement "Honsla, Eendhan, Badla" was shown literally throughout the movie. Think about it. Honla, he had to be patient to find the perfect opportunity to get into the gang. Then, he had to slowly rise through the ranks of the gang. Then, Eendhan. When we think of eendhan, we think of fuel. We collect fuel to get a vehicle going. He gathers information, and plans out thing to finally get to badla. His badla is killed all the terrorists written in his book. If you think about it, when his sister is kidnapped, he only had badla, not Honsla, or Eendhan, which is why he got caught and in trouble. I have a vague theory about Jaskirat aka Hamza's mission in general. I'm pretty sure his actual mission was just to just infiltrate the gang and provide information to Indian Intelligence, like Alam, not become the Lyari ke Badshah. I genuinely think his own personal want for revenge led to him trying to get to the top. Since, it would just be easier for him to get information that way, the Indian Intelligence didn't stop him. Also, the guy who becomes Hamza's right hand man after Alam dies, did you also notice him since the beginning of the movie? I'm talking before he betrayed Arshad Pappu. think he was also an agent deep undercover for a while, and thats why he helped Hamza by betraying Arshad Pappu, joining Hamza, and becoming Hamza's right hand man. Think about it, thats the only way he could help the undercover Jaskirat without making it look suspicious, and now Hamza's closest person he can actually trust and is working towards the same goal. Another thing I noticed was that even though the primary religions shown in this movie was Islam, and Hinduism, but there was a certain scene that said otherwise. Think of the scene where Hamza is getting tortured after being caught. His hands are changed. His hair and beard are long and overgrown. His arms are in a "T" shape. Who does he look like? Jesus dying on the cross. I genuinely think that he was out that way to show how he was getting tortured and still not revealing any national secrets as a sacrifice to his country. Like the hero he is. Theres so much to say and so little space, so I'll say the rest in the next post

Dhurandhar, My Opinion

A Gen Z's Honest Review: Throughout my entire life, I have never since a movie that turned into a wildfire this quick. It was like over night the entire world went crazy over this movie. Tsunamis of people entered theaters to watch it, and I feel that no one went home disappointed. However, throughout the movie I found myself thinking of just one question. "What is Hamza Ali Mazari's hair care?" This man had hair models would be jealous of. The iconic hair flip during the shootout was completely unexpected yet completely loved and appreciated. The cast of this movie was so immaculately done. The casting was done based on what the look of the actual person whom the person was portraying. If you google what Uzair Baloch looks like or SP Aslam Chaudhary and then you see what the people who played them Danish Pandor, and Sanjay Dutt, the similarities are striking. Other cast members included Ranveer Singh as Hamza Ali Mazari, Akshay Khanna as Rehman Dakait, Sara Arjun as Yalini Jameeli, Rakesh Bedi as Jameel Jamali, and Arjun Rampal as Major Iqbal. And of course the genius behind it all, the detailing god, Aditya Dhar. The way EVERY SINGLE SCENE was so carefully made to be as historically told. It takes lots of dedication and hard work. Now that I'm on the topic of Aditya Dhar, the man knows how to make a good, patriotic, historically important movie. First, Uri: The Surgical Strike, then Article 370. Both these movies and the Dhurandhar movies are/were so important to Indian history because they explained exactly what happened so well. To be realistic, most people don't even know the entire back story to how major events in Indian History happened. Aditya Dhar shines a light on these topics. This movie, Dhurandhar, is a historical fiction about an Indian spy getting into the Pakistani Underworld. If you were too young to watch this movie, or just didn't watch it you are seriously missing out. The action, the thrill, it was all so fulfilling. This movie genuinely met everyones standards and exceeded them. Now, let's talk about the music. First off, the title track!!??!!? It was so good and it just carried the whole vibe so strongly. Next, Shararat. This song was just so iconic and it genuinely served as a legitimate reason to watch the entire movie. Was is just me or did EVER SINGLE SONG in this movie match the vibe, the feeling, and the scenes perfectly? It felt almost as if the music was a natural background to the scenes. I think that at some points the scenes were very gruesome, but they were worth it. A few things I noticed throughout the movie was the detailing. I noticed that during the first shootout scene at the wedding. When Hamza finds out that Naieem is dead he KNOWS that Naieem is dead. Yet he still goes on the pretend to try and save him because Faizal, Naieems little brother is watching. He even goes on to smear Naieems blood onto himself to sell the act. You can tell, because there are clearly bloody handprint of Hamza that could not be Naieems. The detailing in this scene was so good that had you not been paying attention, you would not have even understood the story that was not being vividly shows. Also, when Hamza bring Yalina to Aslam Bhai's shop for the first time. Aslam puts down newspaper for the couple to sit on since they are sitting outside. It should be noted that there was plenty of space to sit inside. Then Yalina happens to notice what the newspaper says. Coincidence, I think not. Aslam purposefully put that newspaper the way it was so Yalina would tell Hamza what was happening between the SP and Jameel Jamali. On a Gen Z Scale I give this movie a 9.6/10. Next Up, Dhurandhar 2!

Bellbottom, My Opinion

A Gen Z's Honest Review: I always consider myself an action fan, so this movie was definitely one of my favorites. Bellbottom a historical fiction about a RAW agent dealing with a hijacked Indian flight. The main character is Anshul Malhotra who is played by Akshay Kumar. This movie was like no other, it was purely original, and unique. I've always enjoyed historical fiction movies and books, so it wasn't a surprise that I REALLY enjoyed this movie. This movie was not memorable for songs, or for having a star studded cast, but purely for the plot. The plot was so immersive that it genuinely felt like you were there. I was genuinely engaged throughout the entire movie, and was celebrating, laughing, and cheering throughout the whole movie. It felt like every time something new happened. The movie is so good that I just can't come up with the words to describe what I liked about it. Which parts did I like? ALL OF THE ABOVE. Its just one of those movies where you just HAVE to watch it. Extraordinary beyond words. I give this movie a 8.5/10 on the Gen Z Scale. Next Up, Dhurandhar!

Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, My opinion

A Gen Z's Honest Review: Never have I seen a man look so different in two different personas but still the same person(Did that make sense?) Like, let me just go over the differences between Suri and Raj who are both played by Shah Rukh khan. Suri: Slouched, lanky, skinny, nerdy, introverted, has glasses, does his hair slicked to the side, has a mustache, baggy work clothes with the shirt tucked into ridiculously high waisted pants. Raj: Stands up straight, muscular, loud, extroverted, funny, highlighted and spiked up hair, no mustache, weird, strangely colored sunglasses, and stupidly tight clothing. I know understand that Shah Rukh Khan was playing the role of Suri, who was pretending to be Raj, but the difference between the two characters was so strong it genuinely felt that they were real people(In a way) It's hard to explain, but Suri was Suri, and Raj was Raj. Not just by looks, but also by the way they mentally carried themselves. I think that Suri had the characteristics of Raj in him, but only felt like he could show them when he didn't look like himself at all, almost like Raj was armor, or a costume that Suri could wear to show another side of himself. As if Suri could do and say anything because when he was Raj, it didn't seem cringey to himself. Suri found it cringey to put a rose beside Taani's breakfast plate before leaving for work. Raj, on the other hand, To me, it wasn't surprising that Taani, who is played by Anushka Sharma, didn't recognize him. Other than physical features, Raj's behavior and way of carrying himself was so different, there was no way associate him with Suri. Something I noticed from the beginning of the movie was that the color yellow was often used to represent Suri's happines with Taani. Whether it was Taani wearing yellow clothes, Suri's yellow lunchbox that Taani prepared for him, the yellow car Suri buys for himself and Taani, the background dancers wearing yellow, or yellow flowers on the dining table. I noticed it from the beginning, and it was later said that Suri's favorite color was yellow because of Taani. Overall I think it was a wholesome, yet complicated love story that started from duty and ended with devotion. I really liked the songs "Haule Haule" and "Tujhme Rab Dikta Hai". Overall, I give this movie a 8.8/10 on the Gen Z Scale. While I don't think many teens would like this movie because it didn't have any exciting "twists" or "turns" I definitely liked it and I think its a great, lighthearted rom-com movie to watch. Next Up, Bellbottom

Singham Again, My opinion

A Gen Z's Honest Review: You know when you've been waiting to eat something for a really long time, something that you've been craving for a REALLY long time, and know you're going to enjoy it. But, when you start eating, it tastes 100 times better than you imagined and expected. The movie Singham again was like that. Everything I expected and more, like a lot more! I personally went to watch the movie in a movie theatre, and it was WORTH IT!!! The cast consisted of the original three, and more. Ajay Devgn as Bajirao Singham, Akshay Kumar as Veer Sooryavanshi, Ranveer Singh as Sangram (Simmba) Bhalerao, Kareena Kapoor as Avni Singham, Deepika Padukone as Shakti Shetty, Tiger Shroff as ACP Satya, Arjun Kapoor as Zubair Hafiz, and Jackie Shroff as Omar Hafiz. The whole vibe and power of the movie was unbeatable. I don't know what to talk about first, because there's just so much to say. First of all, the plot!?!?!?! The plot was so beautifully structured that the story of Ramayana overlapped gracefully with the movie's main events. It was made in such way that the story of Ramyana is easy to follow along with and understand for the younger generation of kids. Also, the way each character was introduced was so enjoyable, and exciting. I mean, let's break it down, shall we? Singham enters as a very powerful dominating force, while this happens we find out that the main antagonist from Sooryavanshi is back, but has one more person with him. Then, Shakti enters as a strong female lead with good humor(Side Note: One thing I noticed was that the entry of Shakti and Simmba were very similar, I wonder why?) Soon after, Surya enters. After that, was one of my favorite entries of the entire movie. The one, the only, Simmba! I really liked Simmba's entry because of the way it was staged. He was clearly overlapping with Hanuman, and also the music to his entry was very nicely synced to his character, power, and importance of that moment. I think I just really liked the music for this movie overall. While there weren't any actual songs presented how bollywood songs are usually presented, the overall title track made up for ALL of it. The way the title track carried so much power to the presence of the characters. I think they(Movie makers) did so because the story overlapped with a story of religion(Ramayana), so it wouldn't be appropriate. Also, modern songs wouldn't carry the power, or really represent the story of a modern Ramayana well. Either way, I wasn't complaining. I genuinely did not expect Tiger Shroff, and Deepika Padukone to enter this franchise, but I think it turned out well. Also, can we please talk about the teaser for the next movie at the end? While it makes sense that Chulbul Pandey would be a part of the franchise since it carries the same theme, I was VERY surprised. However, I am really looking forward to this collaboration. Overall, I give this movie a 9.8/10 on the Gen Z Scale. I highly recommend this movie to all the teen action movie enthusiasts. Especially since the religious plot is more easily understandable to the teens of today. Next Up, Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi.

Sooryavanshi, My opinion

A Gen Z's Honest Review: I watch A LOT of movies, and I like many of them, but if there was a scenario where i could only watch a certain list of movies i could watch for the rest of my life, this movie would be on it. This movie has a cast of many stars. Some of which being Akshay Kumar as Veer Sooryavanshi, Katrina Kaif as Dr. Ria Sooryavanshi, Ajay Devgn as Bajirao Singham, and Ranveer Singh as Sangram Bhalerao (Simmba). First of all, whoever came up with the idea of giving Sooryavanshi the disease of forgetting names deserves a raise. It genuinely deserves a raise. The joke carried on out through the movie SO WELL. I don't know how to convey how much I enjoyed that ongoing joke. From calling his friends and family by rhyming yet incorrect names, meeting another guy with the same disease, or forgetting his own name in one of the most serious moments in the movie. This was yet another win for Rohit Shetty, and all other involved. Other than that, there were still many things I LOVED about his movie. Such as the entries of Simmba and Singham. I am a SUCKER for good entries( Which is why we'll talk about them!). Simmba, has a very energetic entrance followed by comedy and action right after that(Now you see why I love this movie so much ?!). Some quotes i really noted were "Tavde, aajka cardio karle"(Tavde, do your cardio for the day) followed by Tavde sprinting after the bad guys yelling his favorite war cry. As well Simmba calling one of the bad guys(Nikitin Dheer, who is also Thangabali from Chennai Express) an undertaker. Simmba never fails to crack me up. Singham's entry was also very notable and unique. Singham enters in his signature way, by exiting a car while it is still going in circles. However, the statement Sooryavanshi makes right before that is always so funny to me ("Ala Dev, Gun Gheyun") The wordplay was so genius, because if you didn't know it means " Here comes a god, with a gun. This IS witty because the actor who plays Singham has the last name Devgn, so if you get it, you get, I guess. Side note: Has anyone every noticed that the "theme" music for all three is very similar, but you always know which one is whose, because they are also very unique? I am a HUGE action movie enthusiast, so the 20 minutes of action was gold for me. I noticed that during the scenes, they would match the sound effects of the fight ( such as gunshots or noise of punches) with the music beats, which I really liked. Like anticipated, Simmba brung lighthearted moments of comedy during such a serious climax. Songs to be noted were the remake of "tip tip barsa paani" and "aila re aila". I really liked "tip tip barsa paani" , but "aila re aila" was memorable for another reason completely. "Aila re Aila" was one of those songs purely made for comedy, similar to "Aata majhi satakli". In the end, we saw the promise of another movie (YAY). Overall, I give this movie a 9,6/10 on the Gen Z scale. I recommend this movie to anyone and everyone because of its mix of action and comedy that just seems to run together so well when Rohit Shetty is directing. Next Up, Singham Again!

[bollygenz]

Simmba, my opinion

A Gen Z's Honest Review: Whenever I try to talk to my friends about this movie, my mind always some how wanders to the movie The Lion King. However, these movies could not be any more different to each other. Simmba is the third movie of the Rohit Shetty Cop Universe. The cast consists of Ranveer Singh as Sangram Bhalerao, nicknamed Simmba. As well as Sara Ali Khan as Shagun Sathe, Sidharth Jadav as Inspector, and Sonu Sood as Durva Ranade. There are also two very special cameos near the end which I'll discuss later on. Simmba is a Maharashtrian police officer located in Shivgad(Notice something? If you know, you know!) who is corrupt. He gets in the good books of the local crime boss, Durva Ranade, and agrees to not bust his drug deals. However, after a girl who Simmba considered like his sister dies because she is murdered by Durva Ranade's brothers, Simmba decides to change for the better, and become a good police officer. Simmba is faced with Durva Ranade's rage since he arrests his brothers. He is then kidnapped and tortured. Just when it seems like all is lost, Simmba is about to die, WHAM, BAM. Cue the music, cue the car bursting in through a WALL! Who is this unexpected savior? The ONE the ONLY, THE Bajirao Singham (who is played by Ajay Devgn)! After some nicely executed action shots(Cudos to Rohit Shetty), Simmba is saved. All's well that ends well, Simmba gets revenge, and his love, Shagun. THE END. BUT IT'S NOT! In the end credits, we see the introduction of another character, Veer Sooryavanshi(who is played by Akshay Kumar). This movie was a very unique one. It held the overall theme of social issues, but presented it in a memorable way. The movie was a unified mix of comedy, action, and the bitter truth of the world we live in. At some parts of the movie it was hard to watch because of the absolute pain, and grief Ranveer Singh displayed. Sara Ali Khan shone like a star throughout the movie whether it was through her facial expressions, dialogues, and dance moves throughout the whole movie. Siddharth Jadav was defeniteley one of my favorite characters because of his "battle cry" and other comedic scenes throughout movie. I really liked the music throughout the movie too. Especially the songs "Mera Wala Dance" and "Ankh Marey". Im not sure alot of people noticed or realized, but the cameo of Tushar Kapoor, Arshad Wasi, Kunal Khemmu, and Shreyas Talpade was not just for fun. It was an announcement for Golmaal 5, which is a series also directed by Rohit Shetty( Mind you, this was in 2018, and the movie is currently stated to release in July 2026, which is a 8 year gap!). Overall, I give this movie a 9.2/10 on the Gen Z scale and I defenitely recommend it to anyone who enjoyed he previous Singham movies, or just like social justice movies in general.

Singham Returns, my opinion

A Gen Z's Honest Review: This movie is the second movie of the Rohit Shetty Cop Universe. It is a direct sequel to Singham. The cast consists of Ajay Devgn as Bajirao SIngham, Kareena Kapoor as Avni Kamat, and Amole Gupte as Satyaraj Chander. Singham returns as the hard working police officer who is now stationed in Mumbai as a DCP. Singham is working to take on a religious leader who is using his popularity and power for the wrong reasons. In this movie there was definitely more comedy than the previous one, which I really appreciated. I really wish there were more Marathi dialogues throughout the movie to really back up the fact that the character Bajirao Singham is Maharashtrian. This movie was another Rohit Shetty masterpiece. I've mentioned this before, but Rohit Shetty is truly an amzing director and even better action director. He not only is able to make the shot look good, but also ensures the safety of the stuntmen. Also, the climax was very memorable. I loved the unity that was shown with the police officers in Mumbai and the way a group of officers would join another on the march to the main villains house. This was a very well executed movie and is worth watching. Overall, I give this movie a 9.2/10. I definitely recommend for anyone of any age to watch this movie because it is very enjoyable for all. Next up, Simmba!

Singham, my opinion

A Gen Z's Honest Review: This movie is the first of the Rohit Shetty Cop Universe which currently consists of five movies. The movie's cast consists of Ajay Devgn as Singham. Kajal Aggarwal as Kavya Bhosle, and Prakash Raj as Jayant Shikre. Singham is a honest, true cop. He is on a mission to fight against corruption and injustice like a true Maratha in the city of Shivgad. There are many things that I like about his movie especially the fight scene outside the movie. This movie was about social issues of India, but I enjoyed the mix of comedy within the movie. I'll say it now and I'll say it again, but Rohit Shetty is my favorite director. If he is directing and Ajay Devgn is acting, you know it's going to be an amazing movie. This movie was no different, and it definitely did not disappoint. I really like action movies, which is why I like the Singham movie series. I LOVED the climax, and how it was executed. I liked how the entire police station snuck into the evil politicians house, and delivered justice in a heroic, yet comedic way. It was so good that I completely forgot how unrealistic it was. Jokes aside, I really liked the plot, and the characters. I enjoyed the overall title track as well as the other songs. Overall, I gave this movie 9/10 on the GenZ scale because it is genuinely a great movie for teens and young adults to watch to learn about social issues such as corruption. Next Up, Singham Returns!

Om Shanti Om, my opinion

A Gen Z's Honest Review: I feel like I can't express how much I like this movie in words. In this movie, the two main leads are the gorgeous Deepika Padukone, and King Khan, THE Shah Rukh Khan. To start, both actors did a very good job at contrasting between their roles, Om Prakash Makhija becoming Om Kapoor and Shanti Priya becoming Sandy. Their roles carried the story of the characters really well. Of the many things I likes about this movie, some of these things I'll share with you all. First of all, I really liked how certain details from Om Prakash's life was "carried over" into Om Kapoor's life such as the fear of fire, and the famous speech acceptance speech. Another thing I really likes was all the celebrity cameos throughout the movie in parts like the Filmfare awards and the song Deewangi Deewangi. Although the 90's theme seemed a bit cringey and silly in my opinion ( I was not alive back then) I think it definetely gives this movie a unique vibe and story. The music and songs in this song also deserve a special shoutout. The songs in particular that I enjoyed were Deewangi Deewangi, Dard e Disco, and Daastan e. In particular, the song Daastan e was a song like no other. It summarized the entire movie plot in a 7 minute span. It takes serious dedication, and creativity to create something like this that still shows every aspect of the plot so vividly, in a dramatic way, and in similar detail( If you don't understand, I recommend watching the movie to find out!). Overall, I give this movie a 9.5/10 on the Gen Z scale because it is a harmonious mix of comedy, romance, and action. Let me know what movie I should do next!
