First time exposing myself to noir and I found this movie to be pretty interesting blend of genres. I thought it was going the murder mystery route but it turned out to be a psychological romance. It is a good movie though.

First time watching this movie. I remember watching Blade 2 when it came out and I loved that one. I love this movie also. I really love the lore of the premise and the body horror and special effects. Really amazing and creative.

The movie is really important focusing on religion and critical thinking. It is supernatural, yes but the main points that it wanted to put across, it has successfully done that. Religion and faith.

Indian, Hindi

Decent movie with a bunch of good lines and acting. I really like Shahid’s serious acting. His comedy is good too but I like him plying a serious emotional character. And in this movie, he is that. Much much different than Saif’s character from the first movie. I thought this one was going to be the same but I was proven wrong. The characters are nuanced and subtle. For a moment, I felt like it is turning out to be a feminist movie where they downplay the male but nothing like that happens. Obviously whatever happens with Kunal is absolutely not called for. It is pure psychological harassment. But anyway, he sets everyone right.
Music is good. Movie was good. Above average I would say. Gonna rate it 7/10. Diya over Ally any day.

Continuing the Denzel binge, this movie is emotional. We stand with John Q. He’s sweet and gentle. Good movie.

Not better than the first one. But still good. First half felt more like a slice of life. Pacing could have been better. The climax was alright. The fight scenes were good in this one. But nothing beats the first Equalizer.
8/10

Shadi kya bachon ka khel hai? This phrase just about sums up the kinda absurb plot of this movie. But saying that, the rest of the movie is actually pretty decent. Meena Kumari shines in this.
The first half of the movie is a slow burn family drama. Beautifully written.
6/10
