Another movie based on Grisham’s novel. This movie is about a man taking law in his own hands and murders the rapists of his daughter. The film explores a lot of the race problems in the south. Hell, the movie has the whole KKK Klan in there. A lot of n words being thrown around.

On the birthday of the Great Gandhi, I decided to watch Attenborough’s directed biographical film of Gandhi. I loved every moment of this. Such great acting and the cinematography was gorgeous. The depiction of rural India, the train, the sunsets. Pretty nostalgic for me as I have grown up in those parts of the world.
Glad to have watched this movie on 2nd of October.

Netflix movie about Bollywood dancing. It’s a musical. It had a couple of good moments and scenes. I really like Maitreyi’s acting. The two goras fighting in Hindi was the best scene.

Legal thriller based on John Grisham’s first novel I believe. Took me a while to finish the movie because it had a slow start but the ending paid off well. Love the plot and the acting. Love the choice of score. Good movie, albeit a slow burn.

What a film this was. The movie is about a working class inter faith family living in 70s Salford. A Pakistani man marries a British woman and has several children. The man has his own views according to his culture and religion and he tries to force them on his children.
The movie really showcases the consequences of inter race family.
Om Puri did an amazing work here and so did everyone including Linda. Loved this movie. 10 for me.

So I have seen the first two installments of this series and I know I haven’t logged it here but I liked them both, especially the first one. Basically, the movie is made up of four short little erotic films and each has a separate theme. The good thing about this installment is it has a variety of genre of themes in it. You have crime, comedy, grief, noir. It’s a mixture.
Obviously I loved the first one the most. It had more depth and layers in it.
Second one was OKish.
Third one was good too but a bit slow. Prefer the second one.
Fourth one was pretty well made. Loved the creative writer angle.
8/10.

This one was pretty good but not as good as the previous ones. Some good scenes in there. More sad and emotional.
