Watched Singham Again recently. The film features a lineup of superstars, but the story feels disjointed, jumping from one cameo to another without a cohesive narrative. The incorporation of religious elements, drawing parallels with the Ramayana, didn't resonate well and felt forced. While the action sequences are there, they lack the thrill and innovation expected from a franchise known for its high-octane scenes. Overall, it's a watchable film, but it doesn't deliver the excitement or engagement one would expect from a Rohit Shetty production. I did like Arjun Kapoor, though. Mostly watched it for Ajay's intense look.

Watched Sikandar with decent expectations, but honestly, it didn't quite hit the mark. The story felt weak and predictable. There were moments where the film could've done something new or emotional, but it just stayed in the safe zone.

Salman Khan's screen presence is strong as always, but the character lacked depth. The supporting cast didn't get enough space, and the villain wasn't convincing. Action scenes were fine, but nothing we haven't seen before.

Music was average, and the overall pace of the movie felt off, some parts dragged too much while others felt rushed. It felt like a movie stuck in the past with a modern filter on it.

It's not terrible, but it's not great either. Just okay. Could've been a lot better with a tighter script and better emotional connection.

Alchemy of Souls is hands down one of the best dramas I've ever watched, and the biggest reason is the characters. Every single one of them felt real, layered, and beautifully flawed. I found myself emotionally attached to not just the leads but even the side characters, each had their own charm, backstory, and growth that made them memorable. It's rare to find a drama where even the "villains" pull you in, but this show nailed it.

Jang Uk instantly became one of my favorite male leads, strong yet vulnerable, reckless but loveable. And Mu-deok? Honestly, one of the most complex and badass female leads ever. The way they balance humor, pain, love, and loyalty is what makes their bond so special. Their chemistry felt natural, never forced, and it made every scene between them addictive.

The supporting cast deserves just as much love. From Park Jin's protective nature to the Crown Prince's sass and hidden softness, every character added something unique. Even the friendships and bromances were so well done that I couldn't help but root for everyone. And honestly, Park Jin and Maidservant Kim's slow-burn romance was such a wholesome, soft corner of the entire story.

Alchemy of Souls is a character-driven masterpiece that stays with you long after it ends. It's not just a drama; it's a world full of people you'll genuinely miss.
