Sir (2018) Movie Review

Ratna, a house maid confronts her master (Sir) who often remains quiet and depressed due to a past event telling him to not to lose hope and that life does not stop. Keeping a beautiful smile on her face she doesn't flinch once when she unwraps her ill fated past in front of him. Sir is a subtle yet beautiful take on an unorthodox relationship between a maid and her master. The class structure engraved in our society makes the duo drift apart even though understanding each other just with silence.

Ratna is a dreamer, fighter and an achiever who is also independent and performs her responsibilities duly. She wants to learn tailoring not just to get her hand on the trade but to be a fashion designer. A dream- miniscule of people coming from a lower class of society hardly ever dreamt, Ratna’s dreams and aspirations seem substantial but she is stoic and complacent.

Ashwin is a soft-spoken person who retaliates back with his kith and kins when someone ridicules his maid. The aspiring writer is forced to leave back his interest and forced to take his architect profession.

When these two come on screen I feel that subtle nudge towards their chemistry. An unorthodox love story which stands strong is afraid to be judged by society. A beautifully written and directed movie by Rohena Gera, with equally brilliant performances by Tillotama Shome and Vivek Gomber. We can feel the two worlds juxtaposed in a single room where serving trays and working laptops hint at a clear class difference between the two leads.

Sir is a beautiful tale of hopes, dreams, attraction, of loneliness and more than all it is a movie about selfless and boundless LOVE.

How Quintein Tarantino directs suspense..

Quinten Tarantino gives us that art of suspense from the first scene of the movie. In this scene a German Nazi Jew Hunter “Hans Landa” is interrogating Monsieur “LaPadite”, a farmer. We can clearly see that Landa is a fluent in multiple languages, polite and well-mannered but all that are just a superficial traits to show others while deep inside he is a cruel and sadistic person. All these information by just showing us a simple conversation, what Tarantino often delivers well “Show, Don’ tell”. Here Landa, clearly exposes his purpose of visit that is here to search and hunt for Jewish family. During the initial conversation we are not certain of the interrogation and do not get fully immersed as it is rather uncertain from the body language and mannerism of LaPadite that he may or may not be giving refuge to any Jewish family. Now when the camera slowly pans to the underground shot of the hiding family, we now begin to experience the real tension. If you can hear properly befo...

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, h...

Trance (2020) Malyalam - Movie Review

Trance (2020) We all have been adhered in some way or other to our own form of conceptualized deity. On devoting our dedication towards our holy gods, the middleman calling themselves proprietary god-men who boasts about inheriting supreme powers to directly contact god and claiming to eradicate any human problems are constantly ripping of devotees off their money and belief. 2020 psychological Malayalam movie Trance is one such movie which blatantly evinces the company some people are running to cash in to the beliefs of gullible and religious people. Fahadh Faasil plays a small town motivational speaker Viju Prasad who dreams of becoming a successful motivational speaker someday. Having a rough childhood along with his delusional brother, Viju finds himself in a situation where he is approached by few white collar people to work for them as the face of the Christian pastor who performs staged miracle hence convincing devotees into the greater scam of buying their holy w...
