Nice movie. But.. uh... I know it was a biopic of a great mathematician but but I feel the Oscars the movie got... uh.. they don't deserved those Oscars, esp. Jennifer Connelly's one. She was average. Ron Howard's one was also 🤔

I'm writing this just to say BW awards and The Oscars both act same while judging biopics of great guys or disabled guy movies.

Watched In the Mood for Love last night. So good and that ending 😭

Mission impossible 2

I was going thru my movie folder and just wanted to watch something entertaining .

Mission impossible 2 is one of those films which I had loved and obsessed over it in my childhood, the injection sequence and those long hair of Tom cruise, the exchanging of facial masks to ditch the enemy and those typical John woo type of doves flying and watching Cruise beat those men .

But when I watch the fi now, I keep laughing continuously , such a cliche and kickass at the same time, law of physics and law of virology explained in the same film itself .

The best is the injection sequence, Tom cruise in that sequence still makes me watch this whereas than die Newton was so so bad .

Best prop of the film - Tom cruise's long hair

Can't believe they got an actress as bad as Thandie newton to be my Ethan's lady love :(

Shaandaar 🤣

Tamasha- A superb concept f**ked up completely by Imtiaz.Still don't understand the reason behind complicating the narrative unnecessarily. So poorly written and edited.The first half is so boring,everything keeps happening in real time, I really wanted a remote with fast forward option. The whole Corsica part was such a waste of time- they kept doing the same Dev Anand - Mona shit again and again.The second part was slightly better. It is only because of Ranbir and Deepika that I sat till the end. Their screen presence and acting forced me not to fall asleep; they were brilliant! Esp the part in Social before the Agar Tum Saath Ho starts- WOW! Ranbir proved again why he is easily the best actor of the younger lot.The variations in his character and his dialogue delivery were just brilliant. Same goes with Deepika. She is just growing with one film after another. A treat to watch her after an equally powerful performance in Piku.

I liked the locations and cinematography the most. There were also some Imtiaz Ali moments in the film that I really liked like Ram and Lakshman wearing sweater in Shimla while performing in Ved's dream, showing Ranbir's character development after the talk with the autowallah through the autowallah's song and showing those punjabi guys as Ved and Tara's mood- the way Heer toh badi sad changes with the mood of both of them. These small bits were so much better than the bigger picture. Ranbir and Deepika deserves all the praise they are getting for the film. The two saviours of a complete snoozefest.

1.5/5

P.S- And what was the whole Calcutta angle in Tara's part in the film? Imtiaz doesn't establish anything about her family, her life except for the tea tasting bit which I think many who don't know about TRA would even get it. I think he just randomly brought in the Calcutta angle to show the Howrah Bridge shot and the Tokyo angle to show that crowded street timelapse.

Ignore the typos. Won't even bother reading this review for such a terrible film again.

I think the Calcutta thing was to signify the fact that Tara is not from Delhi? So as soon as she gets posted there, she jumps at the idea of trying to see Ved which she'd probably been contemplating for ages, and took her positioning in Delhi as a cue
