Movie Review- Sentivirus





If I had to summarize the review of Sentivirus in one word I would say “RUSHED”. It feels movie was made by Dhurmus Suntali just for the sake of raising enough funds for making Gautam Buddha Rangashala. The movie is based basically on the socio-political drama.

Let’s get in to the plot. Dhurvaram played by Sitaram Kattel is a politically involved young man who is firm with his ideologies and loyalty towards his party. A firm supporter and an active and strong party member of a party called Jana Utthan party, Dhurvaram is the party’s life. Conflict arises when his father in law Rajaram Poudel also stands in the election happening in the same area. His conflict with his ideology, his internal tension with his wife and its rushed resolution is what movie is comprised of.
The screenplay feels rushed, the poor writing for a big feature from the mini comedy sketches series writer duo Kumar Kattel and Deepak Acharya can be clearly seen. Ram Babu Gurung has done a decent job, he does not outshines himself from his previous movies so this movie can be considered among his below mediocre ones. All the technical aspects are average. The good thing about the movie is the acting of Sitaram Kattel aka Dhurmus. This man impresses us leaving back his caricaturish role of Dhurmus and delivers a fresh performance altogether. Sentivirus marks his return on big screen after woda number 6 and this man single handedly carries the entire movie upon his shoulder.  The supporting casts however feels wasted, actors like Dayahang Rai and Wilson Bikram Rai are just there to level up the star power of the movie. Other actors like Kunjana Ghimire and Rajaram Poudel have decent performances. There is no proper resolution of conflicts showcased in the movie. The final resolution culminating to show us the reality of what Dhurmus Suntali foundation is, doesn’t do justice to all the events that took place before.

We have seen this kind of story and premise Sentivirus tries to showcase so the movie does not feels fresh at all. A sentimental man who is first regarded as a virus but later redeems himself after big setback and ideological fallacies finally becoming an antivirus or Sentivirus. If you want to watch a decent socio-political drams with very few gags, and also want to support to raise the funds for making Rangashala, this is the movie for you.

Bulbbul Movie Review: A tale of red night

Bulbbul: A cold night dripped in bloodshot red where the spirit of “Chudail'' roams freely around the forest, just the kind of story the 5 year old Bulbbul is raised up hearing. Bulbbul is an important women centric movie that needs to be talked and discussed. Bulbbul is shown free playing along the branches of the trees but her freedom abruptly ceases when she at her very tender age is married to a man contrastingly older than her. Set in Bengal during the colonial period around 1881, Bulbul speaks volume about all the regressive practices like patriarchy, child marriage, rape, gender equality, mysogny and the filthy secrets rich family possess.

THe highlight of the movie is indeed the striking ...

Uncut Gems Movie Review

Uncut Gems might be the greatest performance of all time for Adam Sandler. He is what you called at the pinnacle of his game. I didn’t expect something this serious and notable performance from him looking back into his filmography of comedy movies.
