maniac Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 12 hours ago, Ankit_sharma03 said: it has a similar plot but thats about it . It aint a remake, the script was written years before knives out came out. Remake is casually used words these days , u can do it without taking rights now specially with hollywood films or it can hae huge legal consequence In Hollywood too scripts get stuck in development for many years. I don’t think Bollywood is that far sighted. Anyway you can ripoff, officially remake or even get “inspired” which is usually Bollywood’s excuse. Also even if the script was written many years before it suddenly gets approval after a movie with similar theme within a year after Knives out success?

I would definitely recommend for a one time watch its not bad but i felt direction wasnt that great and as a thriller it lacked tension ...the investigation starts slow and it keeps derailing time n again Actors clearly saved this film 7 hours ago, maniac said: In Hollywood too scripts get stuck in development for many years. I don’t think Bollywood is that far sighted. rip off as i said isnt possible anymore ...u have to take official rights like they took with dil bechara . U can rip off films of smaller industry short films which dont have the resources to get strong legal action like shirish kunder did with nepali short film Quote Also even if the script was written many years before it suddenly gets approval after a movie with similar theme within a year after Knives out success? well there are many good scripts lying for a good producer to buy....this script was swinging between director ....hansal mehta wanted to direct it but honey trehan bagged it. U need good producers at end, had amir khan not produced lagaan no other producer wud have had the guts to produce it till date. Also nawaz now has the market to get film on floor as lead which he didnt in 2015 now with so many OTT there is a lot of demand for content so making new stuff is far easier then in 2015 when this script was written Edited August 3, 2020 by Ankit_sharma03 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has to be some over the top treatment so that the average Joe can relate to it. I surely wouldn't want to watch a movie that spends 20mins showing me how Shakuntala Devi used Pythagorus theorem to minimize travel time to work. If they wanted a treatise on her work, they would have made a documentary and that would have been a niche subject. They want to make it commercially viable. Can't blame them, There should be something about maths. The whole movie I s written by libs for libs, included checks - Brahmin patriarchy - feminism - colonial supremacy/racism - general patriarchy of UCs - references to Atma nirbhar sarcastically - commentary on post- modernism. no roots, no national boundary - inane stupid lines like J silent javier There is no proof or data or citation to attribute the lines Vidya Balan speaks for Shakuntala Devi. Is it a biography or some fictional imagination of the maker Might as well Call it Savitri Bai or some fictional char. Horrible movie Jimmy Cliff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horrible movie @Jimmy Cliff coffee bhai has officially defeated Pratik Borade as the benchmark for sanskari criticism. Even Pratik has given a positive review of the movie I do agree that there is some amount of politics bias that creeps in from the maker/script writer and that is unavoidable but over all I didn’t see anything wrong with the movie Yes of course it is a hagiography but it is about a positive influencer and it was told in a non-boring format. So I don’t see any complaints. I stopped over dissecting films unless they are totally blatant like some of the Netflix/Anurag Kashyao type movies/shows.

Sorry, I can’t see movies like this I do agree it wasn’t a masterpiece but if you see it as a timepass movie and not like a legit biopic/documentary it’s fine for what it is. Yes someone needs to tell Vidya Balan to tone it down. I am not sure who told her she is a powerful performer. She is a competent actress who is good when she underplays her role, rest of the time she can get very loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well they wrecked Mission Mangal with feminist/secular crap so this is not unexpected. Btw did you guys see Harinder Sikka's comments on Raazi?

Agree, the second half focuses only on her personality and mother daughter problems is much better than first half, so my critique was unwarranted as most movies are having such controversial references to make movies look intelligent or some such nonsense Vidya Balan Is much tolerable in the second half, compared to OTT acting in first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s what it looked like from the trailer Not really, premise is similar. But a decent flick. Convoluted 2nd half, but handled well. Could have cut half an hour, the script is dark and good watch , good cinematography Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
