Watched Laapata Women. The primary half was fairly pleasing with some candy (not caustic) jibes at our society, principally concerning gender discrimination. The story flows with good appearing, achieved uniformly by all of the unknown leads and supporting actors.
The second half is a bit lengthy(wanted to be reduce by 15-20 minutes) and will get tiring when the jibes are changed by gyaan.
Kiran and Aamir had good intent right here, however the execution is missing past some extent. The second half wanted to be much more partaking. The screenplay general wanted much more of labor.
The agricultural cinematography is ok and pleasing. Background music and songs are additionally good and efficient inside the narrative.
However Aamir wants a reinvention now. This can be a story set in 2001 (the hand-made posters of KNPH and Dhadkan make me chuckle). And it shud have been made not less than 10-12 years again. Then maybe public would have been extra to look at it in theaters.
I mentioned throughout LSC that Aamir is dealing with a disaster with critical model erosion. The trailer and the film was highlighted with Aamir’s worst appearing in a long time. And now mediocrity in Laapataa Women or Pritam Pyare is not going to be the best way again to resurgence. The warning bells are clear- SZP must be actually good to even evoke public curiosity.
Anyhow, Laapataa Women is an outright field workplace embarrassment and will have been launched instantly in Netflix. If Aamir needed this to work, then he needed to persuade Kiran to solid him within the supporting position of the policeman (Ravi Kishen can also be superb right here however lacks face worth). Casting Aamir might have made this an earner at field workplace.
However i believe it can get some traction when it comes out in Netflix (and that wont be too lengthy for certain!).

Watched Dune 2. It was as I anticipated – not dangerous, however nothing nice both. Denise is an over-rated director (primarily due to lack of fine directorial expertise in his technology) and the critics are hyperventilating on Dune 2.
I’ll any-day take the primary movie over this, though much more occurs on this one. Denise is a moody slow-burn director with a penchant for visuals relatively than on narrative. I actually don’t get the comparisons with Nolan. Nolan is superior to him in each division of film-making, besides maybe cinematography, the place they could be equal. Oppenheimer was a manner superior movie. And Hans Zimmer can be a phenomenon!

Additionally rewatched Dune 1 in IMAX format (had missed watching it in huge display screen when it launched throughout Covid). It was not as spectacular because it was on first viewing. Hoping that Dune 2 seems to be so much higher!
My scores on revisiting them:
Dune – 6.5/10

I caught up with Oppenheimer as soon as once more in theater final week after its re-release (after 7 months).
Liked it as a lot as earlier than. Should say that is Nolan enjoying to the gallery – not simply to his cult following. Within the type of a biopic shrouded with physics and the Manhattan Undertaking, he mainly explores common feelings like guilt, and different fundamental human nature (other than political treachery and drama) in a extensively palatable manner.
This might not be his greatest movie, however undoubtedly up there among the many prime 3 or 5. The encore within the ongoing award season could be very well-deserved. Anticipating fairly few wins at BAFTA and Oscars now – Finest Image, Finest Director, Finest Supporting Actor (RDJ), Finest Soundtrack, Finest Cinematography and Finest Modifying Awards surely.
General, its properly achieved & a well-made movie.
Oppenheimer – 8.5/10
