Maharaj (2024)
Worth watching., do not miss it!
Very well made movie that shines light on the sacrifices made by our Ancestors to stand up againt the social evil in desguise of religion.
This is by far the best movie made on the subject, very similar to dev dasiyaan. Based on true events, the movie portrays the self declared God like cult leader using religious brainwashing to exploit young women for his own desires. I am surprised by the controversy around the film because it simply shows that Sanatam Dharma is beautiful and rich and such tainted leaders twist the teachings to benefit their own good and not the masses.
The cast remains true to their character. Strong performance by Jaideep Ahlawat and debutant Junaid Khan. The direction could have been bit tighter and I believe the addition of Sarvari Wagh was unnecessary and just done to add another female lead for the audience.
Overall, a great watch and highly recommended!!
Love in the Villa (2022)
A long bore fest
As a person who loves romantic comedies set in beautiful locations with happy endings, this was so disappointing!!
The humor and romance was so forced. There's no chemistry between the lead couple and overreacting is abundant in almost every scene. And they are both behaving like immature teenagers in the highly cringy tit for tat fights!!
The story is inspired (stolen) from dozen other movies with similar themes. Every second scene is overridden by clichés and I had to skip majority of the second half to just get to a very predictable and boring ending.
Don't waste your time. You will never get your two hours back.
Evening Shadows (2018)
Beautiful depiction of two relationships.
The movie shows the love and depth in 2 relations, one of Mother and son and other of two people(in this story) men in Love. The relationship between the men is shown beautifully which breaks usual myths in Indian mentality that it looks wrong, vulgar or two men(or woman) are in this just for sex. It correctly shows that the relationship is a normal one involving care and support for each other and cherishing beautiful moments together.
It also shows the mother at first being in denial and completely shocked when the son out out but then gradually accepts her son as is once she understands that there is nothing wrong about it. She goes on to defend her son in front of his Dad and supports him like a rock. That shows the power of mother's love. She not only faces her fears of the relationship but also discovers her long lost passion for painting, thanks to her son.
Overall a must watch movie for everyone and superb performance by lead actors. Mom played by Mona shines the best.
Proud to Be a Sikh (2014)
An Eye Opener!
This movie is a great effort to illustrate what Sikhi really means - Earning ones livelihood from righteous means, sharing with the less fortunate, Remembering God through meditation, Never doing injustice on others and not tolerating injustice being done on yourself or others and also to accept oneself how GOD has created you and ultimately the importance of Amrit Shakna(Being Baptised) I really liked the clarification on 12pm jokes too.
I would highly recommend this movie for every Sikh family. I have been thinking about Amrit from quite a while now and this movie has helped me make up my mind. Very soon, I would proudly say that I am the daughter of Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji.
