Reviews of Recently Released Movies (Part 2)

DD Returns


I had high expectations for this movie since I liked the first two movies in this series. But I was hugely disappointed. Since Santhanam was starring in the movie, I thought it would be really funny but it wasn't all that funny at all. The story is about a French family living in Pondicherry. These people play a game with the villagers and losers are shot by the family in the game. But the game has been rigged by one of the family members unbeknownst to the rest of them because this family member is greedy and doesn't want to give away money to the villagers and the winners of the game win money as a prize, so she cheats. All the villagers get angered by the deaths of their fellow villagers and decide to kill the French family. The French family members all die and remain as ghosts in their own house. In the current time, Santhanam and the rest of the crew enter the house to search for the stolen money they hid in the house and are forced by the ghosts to play the game. I felt like the plot was not very thick and could have been better. Overall, not a movie I would watch again.

Meg 2: The Trench

I think I liked the first Meg movie more than this one. I don't really remember the first Meg movie that much since I watched it a while ago but I remember enjoying it more than this one. But somethings I liked about this movie were the weird crocodile like things and the giant octopus, I think those were really unique. The plot was not as deep as the first Meg movie I think. I would have liked more of a backstory on the crocodile and octopus creatures and also on the illegal mining operation to feel more of a connect with the movie. I feel that the movies being released nowadays are missing something which makes us feel more connected to the characters and the storyline. The movies are just more forgettable. Like, for example, the Barbie movie, it had all this buzz and hype around it but it did not live up to that in my opinion. 

OMG 2

This was a truly amazing movie. The film revolves around a boy who starts masturbating, taking pills, applying oils, etcetera to grow his private parts as he is fooled into believing that they are small by some bullies at school. A video of him masturbating in the school bathroom is circulated and he is expelled from school. His father tries to leave town with his family but is advised to do otherwise by Lord Shiva's angel - Akshay Kumar. Akshay Kumar guides the boys father to put a case against the school, the medical shop people, etcetera who failed his son which led to the video. The movie shows the court hearings which were rather amusing and quite illuminating too. The movie seemed to promote sex education and emphasized that masturbation is normal and healthy. I think this movie is a must-watch. I really enjoyed the movie. It had everything - comedy, a moral, great plot, nice dialogues. I'm a true fan.

Restaurants That I Ate At Recently (Part 5)

That Waffle Place I have ordered from here before through online delivery platforms but recently I went and ate at their shop for the first time. They have quite a few branches I think. We went to the one in Alwarpet. We ordered their Frozen Hot Chocolate and Belgian Biscoff Waffle. I did not taste the frozen hot chocolate but the biscoff waffle was good although it would have been better if they added biscoff biscuit crumbles along with the biscoff spread. The place also had some games like jenga which kept us entertained. Overall, I would rate the place a 4/5 stars. Maison Indulgence We went to this place recently due to the Instagram hype that it has. But unfortunately, for us, it did not live up to the hype. We felt that all the items were overpriced. We ordered the Basque cheesecake and did not like it all. Ambience was okay-ish, too noisy. I would rate this place 1/5 stars. This place is also situated in Alwarpet. Mexe Another place which is in Alwarpet - Mexe. We ordered their c

Books I Have Been Reading Recently (Part 10)

That Night by Nidhi Upadhyay I'm reading this book in a paperback format and have completed around 50 pages. The book is about four friends who played a game of Ouija while at college and a girl of their hostel died. Twenty years later someone is trying to mess with them even though they live in different parts of the world. Intriguing premise. And interesting writing style so far. I think I might like this book, let's see. The book is around 300 pages long. The Spanish Love Deception by Elena Armas This book is about Lina and Aaron Blackford - two colleagues who initially seemingly hate each other but somehow end up becoming each other's fake dates to some major events. I've read like 150 pages of this book so far and am finding it repetitive and boring as of now. Let's see how it goes. I might rate the book a 2/5 stars if the writing does not improve as the book progresses. Or if it improves, I might rate it 3/5 stars or 4/5 stars, let's see. Until now, the pa

Five Most Patriotic Movies on Amazon Prime Video India Right Now

Raazi This movie was a solid 4.5/5 stars in my opinion. What I liked the most about this movie is that it portrays a young girl who spies for her country against all odds. The movie is based on a true story and it shed light on the unsung heroes of Indian history. The main character Sehmat left college, married and lived in Pakistan, so that she could gain intel about the upcoming war. The intel gathered by her and other spies helped India to get prepared for the Indo-Pakistan war of 1971 and the Ghazi attack. The movie is based on a book called "Calling Sehmat." Alia Bhatt plays the role of the lead actress and she was able to represent what the real Sehmat would have felt like - scared, brave, patriotic, loving, dangerous, caring, human, selfless and a thousand more indescribable emotions. Other important characters in the movie were Sehmat's husband, her parents, her father-in-law. her brother-in-law, her brother-in-law's wife, a servant who worked in Sehmat's
