Kaabil 2017

Disclaimer: I don't write reviews mostly. I'll usually just give my ratings and keep my mouth shut but this movie. Damn. I'm not going to be a critic and use unnecessary big words to keep it simple. I'm going to start with the mindset an average person has while going to watch any Bollywood movie. It's not like you're expecting much. It seemed a little different if you ignore the "daredevil" aspect of it. Hritik and yami play blind couple. Now the film focuses on that aspect a lot. Nothing against it but we get it, blind peeps are capable of doing stuff. Now it's just pushing it when you make them dance like pros 30 mins in, everyone knows Hritik is a good dancer but seriously? Now two songs in, they both are madly in love but then the world takes a giant crap on them cause Bollywood, rape, corruption. They all go perfectly together since the 90s. she gets raped. No one takes her seriously cause shes blind and people bad cliché. 2 days in, after the rape she commits suicide. Plot twist is she got raped again. Same guys. The director runs out of ideas pretty soon I see. Long story short, Hritik seeks Revenge, no one would help him cause corruption and politics, obviously. That's the topic Bollywood jerk offs too. Now the part which probably tricked all the audience to watch this pile of cringe. How does a blind man take Revenge? What tricks are going to be involved? What great plans this mind would pull off to keep the audience on the edge? You would think this movie is going to pull off some "fifth element" plot twists. WRONG. he calls them to different places cause he's an amazing voice actor and kills them. Cause Bollywood. At least daredevil gave us a story about some chemical crap which made the protagonist strong. I can go on about goofs, clichés and basically the idea of how moronic the writing is but if I waste more time thinking about this movie, they've won

My Name Is Khan 2010

IF you believe that you have seen the best of srk think again. This movie will rock your world upside down and it will make you wonder how come an actor can make you fall in love with him every time he perform in a movie. the story, full staff of the movie every thing to the smallest details has been crafted as an unforgettable master piece that will live in the hearts and thoughts of audience for years and years to come. srk has raised the bar again giving all other actors and film makers a level that is hard to reach. As for the movie and the story i believe the best thing to do is for you to just watch it. personally when i got out of the movie theater i felt like to buy another ticket and get back to see it again that's how attached and obsessed i came with this movie. if you want your life to be rocked go see it.
