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.

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...

Ghost Stories- A Review★★★

After previous anthology movies like “Bombay Talkies” and “Lust Stories” our fab four turns their head into the genre of horror with the latest Netflix release “Ghost Stories”. Like the previous ones this movie also consists of four stories directed by Zoya Akthar, Anurag Kashyap, Dibakar Banarjee and Karan Johar. Let’s discuss and review the four stories. Zoya Akthar- The major premise for Zoya’s story revolves inside a house where a nurse Sameera played by Janhvi Kapoor is on her duty to take care of an old lady Mrs Malik played by Surekha Sikri. Surekha Sikri’s errie look and appearance certainly brings the spookiness to the story. We feel invested in the story and Janhvi Kapoor with her dialects and decent acting shows some improvement from her previous works. Anurag Kashyap- Anurag’s story is the most mind bending one among the all with many visual symbolisms and metaphors. Anurag chooses the de-saturated theme with hard to detect colors present in the s...
