Reviews of Recently Released Movies (Part 5)

Jigarthanda DoubleX

I mainly wanted to watch this movie because S J Suryah is in it and I really liked his recent performances in Mark Antony and also Manadu. But the story of the movie was very sad. I did like the movie though and I  would rate it a 4/5 stars. The premise is somewhat similar to the Hindi movie Bachan Pandey but the message of the movie is entirely different. The story is about a goon (played by Raghava Lawrence) who wants to be a hero in the first Indian movie which has a dusky lead as he himself is dusky and is made fun of on one ocassion because of it. The person whom he chooses to direct the movie is a person who wants to kill him because this person was wrongfully sent to jail for a crime that Raghava Lawrence did. This wrongfully accused character is played by S J Suryah. From here, the movies gets interesting and we see some funny parts and some sad parts. We see how Raghava Lawrence's character goes from goon to hero overnight. Overall, an awesome movie and a must-watch! Read my tweet about this movie here.

Tiger 3

This movie had many similarities with the movie Pathaan. I wrote a whole article on this which you can read here. Other than that, I liked the movie. It had awesome action scenes. And the number of songs in the movie were also considerably less when compared to other Bollywood films, so no time was wasted. I would rate this movie a 4/5 stars. You can check out some of my tweets about this movie over here, here, here, here and here. I think this is a must-watch movie if you liked other movies in the YRF spy universe. Except for the plot similarities with Pathaan, this was a great movie! To give a brief synopsis, the movie is about Tiger finding out that Zoya is working as a double agent. The backstory of Zoya is also shown. Then we find out why Zoya is working as a double agent and then Tiger and Zoya are forced to steal something for Aatish Rehman. The entire movie is about the heist and its aftermath. 

Ganapath: A Hero is Born 

I did not like this movie much. The premise was great but the execution was not so great. The movie is set in 2070 where the world is divided into two parts - one part of the world is filled with elite and rich people whereas the other part is filled with poor people. Ganapath is born in the poor part but is given off to the rich part and he grows up to be rich but somehow he finds his way back to his roots and helps his people while also falling in love and finding his biological father. The plot is also kinda good but the movie was a little bit boring and dull. But Tiger Shroff's dances were amazing in the movie and I really liked them. I would rate this movie a 3/5 stars.

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
