Reviews of Recently Released Movies (Part 3)

A Haunting in Venice

This movie is based on a book by Agatha Christie called 'Halloween Party'. I have not read the book yet and maybe I won't ever read it because I did not like the movie that much. I was very excited about the movie since I am a huge Agatha Christie fan. But I was disappointed that the movie did not match my expectations. I felt like it lacked method. Usually, in Christie novels, the main thing is how Poirot finds out who the killer is. The final reveal is what we all wait for, the climax to the whodunnit. But, here, the climax seemed too short, too brief, too shallow. I liked the setting, the plot, but was disappointed by the ending. I was hoping for it to be something more grander. Anyway, I would still give it a 3/5 stars. Also, the movie is about how Poirot is retired and yet he is invited by a murder mystery writer to a seance. He does not believe in ghosts and busts the tricks of the people who are conducting the seance. One by one, in the same night, people end up dead at the house where the seance was done. Poirot investigates and finds the killer at end. 

Miss Shetty Mr. Polishetty

This is a film about two people - a girl and a guy. The girl is a chef in London who lives with her single mother. The guy works in an IT company and also does freelance standup comedy while living in India with his family. The girl's mother wants her to get married but the girl saw her mother suffer as a single mom and does not believe in marriage. Her mother is diagnosed with a terminal illness and so they move back to their motherland - India. When her mother passes away, the girl feels lonely and decides to become a mother by using a sperm donor. That's why she meets the guy described earlier. The story unfolds from there. Personally, I did not like this movie. I found it boring, draggy, redundant and just not interesting. I would give it a 2/5 stars. I watched the movie in Tamil but it is also available in other languages like Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada. 

Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahani

This movie is about a girl - Rani Chatterjee who works in a news channel and Rocky Randhawa - to-be-CEO of Dhanalaxmi sweets, a sweets business which his grandma started. The two of them meet because Rocky's grandpa and Rani's grandma were romantically involved years ago and now Rocky's grandpa is getting back memories of her after having lost his memory years ago by falling down a staircase in his house while reading poetry. Rocky and Rani try to reunite the lovers and they themselves also fall in love along the process. The movie has a lot of family drama, romance drama, etc. It was quite entertaining. I would recommend watching it! I would give it a 4/5 stars.

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...

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...

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 ...
