DDPD Review: Le Le Pyaar Le!

This week saw the release of Ajay Devgn and Tabu's 'De De Pyaar De' which was directed by debutante Akiv Ali. The premise revolves around a man who goes to India with his girlfriend to his family for their approval. An interesting premise, let's see how it is:

                                                       

What's Good: Acting: Tabu is an absolute delight. Devgn and Rakul Preet are good. The supporting cast and many surprise appearances are phenomenal and elevate the movie experience. Music: The music is nice and the revamp 'Hauli Hauli' will stick with you for long. Comic Timing: The comic timing is simply pitch-perfect. Message and Strong Emotion: The movie has a message which may not have been delivered is not interesting but is important and laced with strong emotions.

                                                 

What's Bad: Dialogues: The dialogues are poorly scripted. First Half: Takes a lot of time to build up. Poor Rakul-Ajay Chemistry: There is barely any spark in the chemistry between them. Penultimate 15 minutes: The penultimate simply spoils the ride the movie took us for and undid the magic it was creating.

                                                   

Overall, De De Pyaar De is an amazing joyride which leaves you happy and surely is a One Time Watch which could have been better. It was surprisingly a good movie with a good message given in a 'thanda' way. I am going with 3 stars for De De Pyaar De and an extra 0.5 for Tabu!

                                                   

P.S. We have all known Tabu the 'actor', DDPD introduces us to Tabu the 'Diva'!

John Wick 3 Review: Now that's how you make a sequel!

John Wick series is an action based thriller franchise whose last movie John Wick: Chapter 2 hit the screens in 2017. John Wick 3: Parabellum (meaning prepare for war in Russian) hit the screens this 15th May and can be said: "This is how one makes a sequel." 

                                               

What's Good: Acting: Keanu Reeves yet again tells us that no one apart from him can play 'Jonathan Wick' and Ian McShane tells us that no one can play the manager of the Continental better than him. Action Sequence: The action sequences are beyond outstanding and well choreographed. Story: Begins from where the prequel had left, the story is interesting and engaging. Background Score: The background score dwells very well with the narration. Pacing: The 129 minutes of the movie pass unnoticed. The brilliance of the director and the screenplay writer.

                                              

What's Bad: Poor Climax: The climax somehow reduces the impact of the movie big time. Intertwingling narratives: The multi-narrative pattern for this movie somehow just increases the level of confusion.

                                         

John Wick 3: Parabellum is a fine action thriller elevated because of the story, characters and John Wick himself. I am going with 3.75 stars for the movie. Also, eagerly waiting for John Wick 4! An absolute treat for lovers of the franchise and for those who haven't seen this franchise, there is still time that you watch this amazing action thriller!

                                       

P.S. It is perhaps the best in the franchise for me and if not the best then at par with Chapter 1 and way above Chapter 2
