F1, 8.5/10, movie made for the big screen. I used to follow the sport a lot in the 2000s and in some places we have to suspend belief, but for casuals it is just fine. Nuances explained well. Race scenes were electric, Brad Pitt aced his role. If you liked Maverick, you'll like this also.....thrill for speed, old man's redemption story, crowd pleasing, feel good. 

 

Many F1 drivers make cameo appearances, Hamilton (one of the producers), Alonso, Verstappen. 

 

Planning to watch once again, maybe after 2-3 weeks. 

 

ICFers anyway are mostly sports fans, y'all will enjoy this movie. Made for theatre experience. 

 

Solid 9/10. That opening scene with Joshua Pearce and Hans Zimmer background score was insane. In fact its because of Zimmer I may want to watch the movie once again in theatres.

Watched a 2020 Horror Thriller - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/His_House

 

Good concept, and a lot of jump scares. Not gory but  pretty real story. Watch it only if you like such movies

I tried watching TVF stuff but I find it hard to get into Indian OTT product  tbh.  Panchayat Family Man & Scam 99 were the good ones.

I am planning on watching Netflix's Railway men based on Bhopal tragedy & has gained some global traction too. 

 

Panchyat season 4. Feels like more of the same, lost its freshness after 2 seasons. Watched about 4 episodes so far, Maybe it will get better.

Exactly, all I see is that cars going around in circles. Bas gol gol ghoomte rehte hain. I saw Ford vs Ferrari and still understood it mostly about loops, laps. pit-stops and the timing of it. It’s basic science and not rocket science I like NASCAR better, don't like this modified batmobile looking cars in F1.

Indian web shows max have a shell life of 2 seasons if we are stretching.  It gets repetitive.

Season 4 is drastic fall from quality of early Panchayat.

 

Sacred Games Season 1 was peak though..  Season 2 absolute dogsh*t.

Pathal Lok and Family Man are exceptions. Enjoyed the 2nd season as much as first

2 seasons are enough usually.  Family man S1 was brutal  especially the Kashmir leg, it was so damn accurate the setting they showed and everything about it elevated the standards.

 

Haven't checked Pataal lok S2 yet despite hearing good things.  Time nahi mila

NE setting pretty rreal and accurate. Just replace Nagaland with Manipur and it's close to reality.

It's relatively more realistic than Top Gun: Maverick, but still very entertaining. 

 

I mean, even the best of IAF pilots will tell you that it's downright crazy to even contemplate attempting what the Top Gun did, where they bombed that nuclear facility.

Sinners and F1, the best big screen experiences for me this year. 

 

Didn't enjoy MI that much, boring and overstretched.

As I said earlier, you don't have to be an F1 fan/follower to enjoy this movie. It is a crowd pleaser, just entertainment.

The teaser looks VERY promising. I hope they mix good amount of drama to make it more appealing.

 

 

Ranveer Singh is a GREAT actor. But has ruined all his aura by cringe offline and online antics. I hope he comes back.

 

And it looks as if this is set in pakistan. That clothes, the urdu on shop's etc.,  Some espionage story? @Lone Wolf ?

Sinners turned out to be a waste of time.

Based on unknown men apparently..  espionage thriller for sure... Probably based on some extremist factions within Pakistan.
