After anime movies 'your name' and 'the silent voice', this was the only movie that effortlessly made me sob my heart out <3 what a beautiful movie and how beautifully the emotions were portrayed from all ends till the very end!

If you're looking for a movie to sit down to, and cry your heart out, this is it. The slow paced romance, the build up, eventually reaching the climax and then finally provoking the viewer to give in their all to hold down their tears. And right when I thought I was done sobbing, came 2-3 more waves of them. And it kept going on till the very end of the credit scene. Absolutely worth it <3.

Let me start off by praising the cinematography of the movie! Such well planned and framed shots all across the board. Each and every shot felt like carrying an emotion - none of it felt forced or unnecessary. The storyboarding too was gracefully done, and so was the colour palette - each one coordinating so well with the eyes.

The entire soundtrack just felt like someone was soothing my soul. I'm truly not a big fan of classical music much, and so far the ony other media that had given me a love for it was 'Bandish Bandits'. I had really loved it because of how raw and uncut they had kept the singing in it, and this movie follows a style likely to that. Amit Trivedi truly did magic with the music, and something about it just felt like a piece of art.

Needless to say, the screentime was beautifully graced by the skills of Swastika Mukherjee, Tripti Dimri & Babil Khan. The emotions were portrayed so effortlessly. Easily the BEST BOLLYWOOD MOVIE of the year 2022.

James Cameron strikes again, and it was definitely worth the long wait. This is HANDS DOWN easily the peak EPITOME of this generation's CGI!! Truly nothing comes close to this. Absolutely nailed the visuals in every way possible!! All hail the lord Weta Digital for nailing every possible bit of the CGI. And that adaptive 48FPS of the movie really dances buttery smooth with the brain cells. It keeps on switching back and forth between 24FPS and 48FPS, and truly makes the whole theatre experience worthy. Even though the runtime was pretty big, all that story and action justifies it, and we all dig it. Cannot wait for the sequel now!!

Loved everything in the film from the cinematography to the music was PERFECT!! One should really appreciate how gracefully they presented a story of love.

Not a lot of people can make such a movie without any cringefest dialogues and trendsetter songs in this day and age. So huge props to the movie makers for presentinf just the pure essence of love.

Special mention of the colour palette of the movie as well - from the outfits to the props around, everything matched perfectly with each and every surrounding and looked soo good!! A huge fan of the music as well. I just wish I would have been able to check this movie out in the theatres.

PROS - The visuals are soo good in the film - the Cinematography was pleasing, and I bow down to the entire VFX team for such an OUTSTANDING JOB!! Truly, the best VFX work I've seen soo far in any Indian film.

CONS - But sad to how the dialogues let down the ENTIRE film. No matter how good & experienced actors you get, if the dialogues are bad, its ruining their performance and the whole movie. There were soo many unnecessary dialogues throughout the runtime, and the way they were written, felt like a 13-14 year old wrote them down. And also the love angle - IT WAS SOO ANNOYING... Felt like they were forcefully exaggerating it to an unbearable extent at some point. Had it not been for the 'EXTREME' love-angle and the cringeworthy dialogue writing, this movie would have made it up so high!

Please DO NOT MISS this movie out - its an absolute emotional roller coaster through its high funs and deep sadness. The story can be predictable, but what stands out is the direction and the outstanding performance by the dog as well. EACH AND EVERY scene portrayed doo beautifully!!!

This movie scores well from every point. The cinematography and background music was SPOT ON AMAZING!

If you're a dog lover, be ready with a big box of tissues, you'll need a lot of it...

I wish Netflix made more of such content than all of the nitty bitty unwatchable stuff. This show is AMAZING!!

I still remember watching the 1st season back in 2019, and having my mind blown by the different styles of animation and the strong impact the stories had even tho being so short.

If you're like me, who loved SECRETARY KIM for being a cute-laughable Corporate love drama, trust me YOU WILL LOVE THIS A LOT!!

The show had the right amount of humour, fun and clashing characters. The build up was amazing, but the final episodes finishing felt so rushed - INCOMPLETE.

Without giving out any spoilers, I can let you know they flew over few expected scenes at the end, reason why I felt it to be incomplete.

This was one of the, if not THE BEST Korean movie I've seen so far in my opinion. The story buildup was quite intense and strong. The cast was amazing, and have to say Don Lee did a fantastic job. And huge props to the sound design as well - what a beautiful job towards the end!

And when you know its based on real events, your interest and expectations peek even higher. And fortunately, this movie DOES NOT DISAPPOINT!

GOOSEBUMPS ALL AROUND!!

Undoubtedly got a lot of action and story packed compared to the first chapter. When you compare the 2 movies, you'll understand the amount of layers the new movie has wrapped in. Definitely worth the watch! The perfect entertainer.

Its hard to grasp all of this is a real life documentary and not a made up script, for how well its been documented and put together. Really got me hooked from the beginning till the end, and actually felt like an action-thriller film. Incredible work to the whole team!

Just finished with HOMETOWN CHA-CHA-CHA .

The last 2 episodes were really one heck of an emotional roller-coaster. Undoubtedly one of my most cherished Kdramas ever! Had the perfect balance of Romance, Comedy and Melodrama. Very heartwarming, the characters portrayed in such a way that you'd love to come to visit it every now and then. Indeed the best Rom-Com Kdrama of the year

And glad Kim Seon-ho finally had a happy ending!

My inner 'Start-Up' rage is now at rest.

I would love to recommend this to you all!

A BEAUTIFUL MIX of comedy, romance, action and also politics. Although the series felt a bit dragged around the middle, it was very well filled with good comedy scenes and characters that made it really interesting. The story build-up as well was good and turn out great towards the end.

Definitely worth naming as the finale. WHAT A MOVIE!

ABSOLUTELY A TREAT!!!

Watched it without looking at reviews/expectations and turned out PERFECT - great story, great action scenes, and wonderful cinematography!

Don't really understand the hate on this movie.

Definitely deserves a watch. The authenticity in the acting od the film is beyond appreciation. Sound score and cinematography also deserves a very high praise.

And the way they have subtly connected Mahabharata tales with the character's names is a bonus cookie.

Give this movie a go if you're willing to actually watch a good film giving you a small fact check (that you probably do know). Nothing more, nothing less.

The movie's story is a proper explanation of "Dont judge a book by its cover" or you can even say "Dont judge a person too quickly". Really liked the film!

Finally. A comedy animated movie for people of ALL AGE to enjoy. The right amount of good humour, logic, morals, and also execution! Can't express how much I loved watching this animated movie.

I legit sat down with my sister to watch this film, with no expectations (since we didn't see any reviews or even the trailer). Got up at the end cherishing every bit of it. DEFINITELY WORTH THE WATCH!

This movie was unexpectedly quite a lot better than I had anticipated. It has a feel good nostalgic feeling to it. I wanted to watch a korean film after getting addicted to K-Drama, but I guess the long long episodes of Drama series just made me get used to dislike short and quick movie scripts HAHA.

But those things aside, you'll enjoy it.

Hang in there and enjoy this. Its soo soo beautiful!

What had started off as being just another rom-drama series for me, turned out to be one of the best executed series I've ever watched!!

From the story to the production to the dialogues, everything was spot on!! If you're still confused about this one, PLEASE DONT BE, and go watch this immediately.

TOTALLY IN LOVE!! I was obsessed with "Its Okay not to be Okay", and that had set such high standards that it got hard for me to move on to something else. But this truly was a league apart... Can't really say if it was probably BETTER. But it DEFINITELY felt a tad bit more cuter than that <3 This story is the most beautiful blend of MUSHY LOVE, romantic drama, high school fun, friendship, and also a bit of mystery. Even when you feel like the story gets predictable, its not! ITS WAAAY MORE THAN THAT!

The First Half made me go UwU for all the sweet and cute moments. And the second half made me cry my eyeballs out... T_T If you're a sucker for series' that are heavily-cry-able, THEN DEFINITELY HAVE YOUR TISSUES READY! Overall a great watch!

The movie was great. All the actors did a fairly decent job. However Vidyut's performance stood out the most. And I'm glad it did. The music too was well sorted out. Although the story was quite well made in the beginning, the ending felt a lot more predictable. At certain places it felt missing. Somewhere the execution in the second half feels quite incomplete. But definitely a good watch if you're planning on a romantic drama with some light action (Although for a few people the scenes might be a little graphic).

Probably the sweetest and most mood lifting movie I've seen in a while. Honestly cant stress how important the simplicity of this movie was. Definitely worth the watch!

This movie doesnt show any impossible love theories. Shown accurately the life and its emotions, without any complications much. In all, a very sweet and simple movie!
