I genuinely fail to see the buzz surrounding Weapons. The first half of the film did a commendable job of building tension. The atmosphere was thick with unease, and the slow burn of the narrative had me on the edge of my seat, waiting for the terror to strike. The mystery was compelling, and the gradual reveal of the plot promised a chilling experience. However, once the story began to fully reveal itself, the thrill completely evaporated. The suspense that had been so carefully crafted in the beginning was gone. The narrative shift from psychological tension to a more straightforward plot left me feeling underwhelmed and, frankly, bored. The film's "horror" element was almost non-existent. Ultimately, Weapons is a film that promises a gripping, terrifying experience but delivers something far more ordinary. It's a classic case of style over substance.

Okay, let's talk about Coolie. The first hour was absolutely electrifying. The action, the characters, the energy-it's everything you want in a mass entertainer. I was completely hooked. Then, the second half happened. My brain started doing gymnastics just trying to keep up. It felt like the writers had a list of 10 different plot twists and decided to use all of them at once! One after the other, these subplots piled up, and instead of adding depth, they just created confusion. You're left asking, "Wait, why is this happening now?" If the screenplay had simply stuck to its core story and tightened up those unnecessary knots, this could have been a legendary, genuine blockbuster. As it stands, it's a good one-time watch that leaves you thinking about what could have been. Among the plethora of actors, Nagarjuna was my favorite!

I couldn't understand 25% of what was being said and not many will because of how the actors were talking with lots of background action/music distraction. Had serious problems keeping up with what was going on, and trust me I tried! There are moments of cinematic brilliance with the way some scenes are elaborately shot, and there are a few of them, joyful to watch. But from an overall viewing experience, i can't recommend this film unless u have the patience to watch it 2-3 times and then reflect on it from another perspective.
