Chhapaak (2020) A movie Review…

Chhapaak is a movie about Acid Attacks in India, this is a drama film directed by Meghna Gulzar and produced by Deepika Padukone and Meghna Gulzar in collaboration with Fox Star Studios. This movie is well, horrifying, beautiful, tragic, and masterful. Deepika Padukone is simply amazing in this role.

At the time of my review, this was the current Rotten Tomatoes score!

To say that this movie is about Acid Attacks understates the whole premise of this movie, as this movie acts as a way to draw attention to the on-going issue that plagues India. Acid, despite being recently ruled a controlled chemical in India, is still actively sold and is largely unregulated.

The description from IMDB is as follows:

“The trials and triumphs of Malti, an acid attack survivor. From the investigation of the attack to the court proceedings, the medical treatment to the emotional healing. Chhapaak is the story of the unquashable human spirit.“

–IMDB

This movie touched me, and as you all know, if you have read my previous posts about Bollywood movies, I have a soft spot for them. This movie is superbly done, and I have to commend all those involved in making this movie. This is drawing attention towards something that should not happen in civilized society. And as this is based on a true story, it is even more important that they use this calibre of actors/actresses to bring forth this issue.

Deepika Padukone is amazing, and I cannot stress that enough. Having seen this movie a few times now, and each time it hits me in the feels, in all the right ways. I cannot express my love for this movie enough.

Sickening numbers of acid attacks

As you can see, acid attacks are something of a bad thing. And these are only the reported attacks, there is most likely, many that go unreported due to acid killing people. Not that I am trying to turn this review of this gorgeous movie into a political statement, but, it sorta is a political statement, that change is required.

More often than not, these attacks are by men, against women, and usually because those men cannot have that woman, so he will ‘ruin’ her for all other men. It is a sickening thing. But I digress, lets get back to the movie shall we?

In tradition of my previous posts with regards to movie reviews, I will not go into any more details, but I hope that I have provided enough for you, the reader, to want to see this movie. It is truly worth it. I give this a 9.5 out of 10. It is one of my favourites.

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle… A Movie Review…

Growing up I got to watch Robin Williams in a barrage of hilarious movies, including the one and only Jumanji. At least, it used to be one and only, the follow-up movie takes place some years after the end of Robin Williams‘s Jumanji.

The movie has a new spin on it, the board-game has been found again, but this time, the magic of the board has turned it into a video game, which when played, sucks the players into the game-console, where they must save the day to escape Jumanji.

This is a beautiful cast of characters and a well thought story. When I went into this movie I didn’t think it would be able to do justice to the original, nothing would be able to compare to Robin Williams. I was so, very, wrong.

This movie combines the acting of several actors skills together in the most amazing way, while The Rock isn’t the best actor in my opinion, he is however an amazing person for this role of the hero. Kevin Hart is also absolutely hilarious in this movie, which is pretty standard for Kevin Hart. Additionally we have Jack Black who just nails the role so perfectly. And finally, to finish off with the female role, we have Karen Gillan, who did amazingly well.

I don’t like doin’ spoilers, so I won’t post more about the story than I already have, but I will say this, the way these actors all worked together, truly showcased their talents; of which they all have different talents. This made me realize something about acting, that it may not always be the skill of the actor, but the role that truly defines them. A bad role on a good actor will make the actor look bad, in my humble opinion. This movie played to their strengths and did such an amazing job with the story of Jumanji that I have since watched this move about 10 times.

I give this movie a solid 9 out of 10. I don’t care what other people rated it, personally, this was a great movie. Don’t go into it to compare it to Robin Williams like I did, because I have to tell you, that made me go in with a bad feeling, and a bad mood. It did me wrong, and did the movie wrong by comparing.

It was simply amazing, give it a go if you have not seen it!

Little Stars: Amazing Ball of Light

What an amazing ball of light.

            Up in the sky so bright.

    Shimmering and shining throughout the day.

                And at night its friends come out to play.

They sparkle and shine all the time.

        Whether you see them or not is all about the time.

    Certain stars glow year round.

            While others appear when we have reached certain spins round.

The darkness that looms out in space, gets brightened up with each stars grace.

        Beautiful and bright, each star defines the amazingness of each night.

Dhoom 3, A movie review

Aamir Khan plays two exceptionally different, yet the same, characters in this movie, a worthwhile and telling story, very compelling and entertaining.

Aamir Khan plays as Sahir and Samar, the sons of a man who ran ‘The Great Indian Circus’ in Chicago. As young boys Sahir and Samar with their father created an amazing magic act, and after their fathers untimely death we fast-forward and see how they use that trick going forward.

Aamir Khan

This Hindi movie is the third in a series, and is my favourite one. Albeit, it has Aamir Khan, my favourite Indian actor, so that may be why it is my favourite of them all. I found the story easy to follow, intriguing, and following the humour that has been set out in the previous Dhoom movies (Which I have not reviewed as of yet).

Sahir / Samar from Dhoom 3

Throughout the movie, we see the typical Bollywood action sequences, fast car chases, impossible action, overthetop humour, singing, dancing, and great story.

The two chacters captured above are the two Mumbai cops who travelled to Chicago to help the police capture Sahir and prevent any further bank heists.

As I don’t like to go to deep into detail as I don’t want to spoil the movie for people, I’ll say no more about the story. But I will say this, this movie is a solid 9.5 out of 10. If you don’t speak Hindi, watch it with subtitles, I promise you, you’ll be entertained. I certainly was, enough to write this review.
