Free Guy Movie Review

Free Guy Movie Review

Free Guy Moview Review by Sangram Keshari Senapati

Free Guy is an American science fiction action comedy film released in 2021. Of course, I've watched it in Hindi, which is also going to release on DisneyPlus on the 15th of October in 2021. Here is my review of this film.

Ryan Reynolds has played the main character of this movie who also produced it. Ryan Reynolds is one of my favorite actors after Deadpool. When we're talking about action, he is good at it. Recently in Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard, we saw him in action and this film is more than that.

A few months back, I had watched the trailer of Free Guy, but couldn't get time to watch it. Somehow yesterday, I got the chance to watch it and saw it in Hindi. I don't have any idea about the voice artist of this character in Hindi, but it's similar to Hritik Roshan and he did it quite well.

The story of this film is based on a video game, where the main protagonist, our "Guy" who doesn't have a name was made to do a boring bank job. But one day he met his dream girl and decided to change his life and started upgrading himself.

At the same time, in the real world, one Game making company has stolen this game and remodified it with his idea. The creator of this game, Millie (played by Jodie Comer) was searching for proof and her partner compromised and was working in that company.

In the game world, our Free Guy started loving that girl who is an actual player. He started loving her, they both spent time in different places. The creator of the game Millie is that player whom the Guy use to love.

In the real world, the Guy got famous as "Blue Shirt Guy" and people started loving him. Before that gamers use to kill all non-playing characters without any reason, but after that, they started loving them.

Millie and her partner came to know that the Blue Shirt Guy is not a player, he is a non-playing character who upgraded himself by falling in love. Their original game was designed in that way, which means the company which released the game used their code.

The company that released this game, "Free City" was in the process to release the 2nd Part of the game, where they planned to replace all the characters from part1, which means the Blue Shirt Guy won't be a part of the new game. Millie told this to him and asked him to save his city.

People started to love this game because of this Blue Shirt Guy, so they don't book for the 2nd part, so the owner of the company decided to reset the game and Guy lost all his memories. But Millie kissed him, and his memory returned back, because this character was made in such a way that, he would upgrade himself in love.

The twist of this film is the last fight with DUDE (also played by Ryan Reynolds). They have used Captain America Shield and the hand of Hulk. Chris Evans, the actor playing the role of Captain America has done a cameo also.

Overall this film is a good movie and I would give a four-star to it. One star would deduct for the plot, but the screenplay and action scenes covered up everything.

Toofan Movie Review

Toofan Movie Review
Movie Review of Toofan  by Sangram Keshari Senapati

On the 16th of July, the new Hindi film Toofan starring Farhan Akhtar, Paresh Rawal, and Mrunal Thakur was released on Amazon Prime. Due to some work, I couldn't watch this film earlier, so I watched it on the 27th of July after watching Hungama-2 on the 23rd. Here is my movie review.

The film is based on Aziz Alli, a street fighter known as Ajju Bhai from Dongri aka Dubai of India. He wanted to live a respectful life, so choose to become a boxer. Nana Prabhu, a top boxing coach trained him and made him the state champion. The Nana came to know about Aziz's love affair with his daughter; so he insulted him and threw him out.

Then Aziz Alli aka Toofan choose to marry his girlfriend, but at the same time he had chosen to live a luxurious life with his wife, so fixed a match for money. The fixing story came out and got a ban for 5 years.

After 5 years, he struggled again to come back to the boxing ring and the whole story is based on this. It's quite similar to Sultan starring Salman Khan and Farhan's own film Milkha Singh. But the attractive and interesting part of the film is Farhan Akhtar's acting, body transformation, and Paresh Rawal sir's acting.

The film could be a shorter one, but overall it's a good movie and yes worthy watching. For this film, I would give it 4 stars. One star for Farhan's acting and the other three for the music, storytelling, and presentation.

Hungama 2 Movie Review

Hungama 2 Movie Review
Movie Review of Hungama 2  by Sangram Keshari Senapati

On the 23rd of July, the new movie Hungama 2 has released on Disney+ Hotstar. That day, I've watched this movie, but due to some work, couldn't write my review on it.

The main reason for me to watch this movie is Pranitha Subhash. So, that day only I watched the movie.

Pranitha debuted in Hindi Film Industry aka Bollywood through this movie and part from her, actors like Paresh Rawal, Shilpa Shetty, Meezaan Jafri, Rajpal Yadav, Tiku Talsania, Ashutosh Rana, and Manoj Joshi are there. Akshaye Khanna appeared twice and Johnny Lever in a small role.

The whole plot of the movie is based on the old love story of Akku played by Meezaan Jafri. Pranitha had a baby girl whose DNA also matches with Akku. Paresh sir again this time confused about his wife's affair.

The story is not that interesting as compared to the old one; it's a one-time watch film. I would give this film a 3 Star; one for Pranitha, and two for the comedy, confusing plot, music and cinematography of the movie.

A Short film on the Paika Rebellion in Odisha

A Short film on the Paika Rebellion in Odisha

Once Odia producer Akshaya Parija had announced an Odia film Bakshi Jagabandhu featuring Anubhav Mohanty based on the Paika Rebellion in Odisha.

At that time, I had planned to create a page about this film on Odia Wikipedia. Later, someone else created, but still, the film is pending. Later I heard some gossips about this film.

Just 2 to 3 days back I came to know about a film trailer named "Paika Bidroha" on the Twitter timeline of Odia actor Samaresh Routray.

It's a short Odia film on the Paika Rebellion in Odisha featuring two famous villains of Odia film Industry Samaresh Rourtray and Manoj Mishra, both were students of National School of Drama.

The film is available on YouTube, you should watch it and have to know that part of the history of Odisha.

I love the way they presented the film to us. As a short film, they had picturized the whole thing within around 25 minutes, which is easy for this generation, because now all want a big novel as a short story.

I should thank the cast and the whole production team for making this film and releasing it on YouTube.

Dil Bechara - End of that Beautiful Smile

Dil Bechara - End of that Beautiful Smile
Dil-Bichara-Review-by-Sangram-Keshari-Senapati

Dil Bechara, the last movie of Sushant Singh Rajput and the debut film of Sanjana Sanghi in a lead role. But it was really hard to watch him for the last time on a new story.

When he died, all demanded to release it on the big screen, but due to the COVID issue, they released on Disney+ Hotstar, which is available for all users.

Yesterday I couldn't watch the movie, so today watched it and trust me, this is the 1st movie where I didn't skip any songs while watching and watched from start to the end, each and everything.

The storyline of the film is on single line, "ek tha Raja, ek thi Rani... Dono margayi, khatam kahani..." But here one is suffering badly. And the end is really emotional, where nobody except the self-made best film critic of the country couldn't hold their tears.

And one thing is, now everybody loves the film because he is no more and if he would be here, lots of people would have been trolling him. But what he and others did in the movie is really appreciating.

I'm not in that position to judge the movie or songs, but the overall thing is amazing and I love each and every part. And there is a surprise for the audience when they visit Paris, must watch that.

Still, I couldn't believe he is no more. But it's the truth and we have to accept that. And I would say again, "I would miss that smile on his face."

Ichha- Odia Series on TarangPlus

Ichha- Odia Series on TarangPlus
Ichchha-odia-series-on-TarangPlus

When TarangPlus was launched, all were excited, and the previous two web series Chumbak and 72 Hours are good, though I love Chumbak more.

During this lockdown, people get frustrated just because of the amount they gave as the plan and just two web series, not many exciting movies, so finally, another new series, Ichha has been released on this platform. 

The series starred Gargi Mohanty in lead, an excellent dancer, an actress whom we still remember as Devi from the serial Devi and she had played some exciting character in different Television serials and also films. She is played the character of Nikita Choudhury or Nikki.

The two male leads are Dushmant and Rajesh. Dushmant was famous for the album songs and later for movies, this series may boost his career now. The young lead hero Rajesh is known for the various character from YouTube series to Television series on Tarang and Zee Sarthak. Some side roles are played by Priyanka and Snigdha Mohanty and some new actors.

The story is based on a true story which I think. On an episode of Satya Meva Jayate by Amir Khan, they had featured a girl who left her husband just because of her happiness, and this story is quite similar and the writer had stretched in a good way which is good.

I shouldn't narrate the plot now, but it's an exciting love story, where you would some interesting clips of Gargi Mohanty and obviously you have to forget that Devi character from your mind.

Since it's on an OTT platform more bold scene and censorable languages are there, which is common now and there are lots of meme material in episode 6. Though I'm not familiar with Cuttaki style, I may not relate more with those dialogues in episode 1. 

If we compare the characters and their role play with the other two series, then 72 Hours and this one is better, because all are experienced actors and they know how to play the character perfectly.

If we would talk about music and songs, I love the songs more and the lyrics is really nice. However Sashank Shekhar is a good singer, that's why he got the state film award, but still couldn't retrieve his article on Odia Wikipedia. 

And the overall concept and the roles are good, but the role of Nikki's Mother played by Priyanka Mam could be more interesting, which I feel, but the director knows more.

I would recommend you watch this if you support the extramarital affair and of course, you should watch if don't support it. And don't judge a book from its cover, just read it properly and under what the author is willing to say.

8Yrs Of Gabbar Singh Hysteria is Trending on No 3

8Yrs Of Gabbar Singh Hysteria is Trending on No 3

When Dabang of Salman Khan was released all were doing that Dabang dance and the glass style, putting it backside hanging from the shirt collar. Even, I did that in some photos which you may find on my Facebook page.

But the big breaking news came when Pawan Kalay had done the remake of Dabang as Gabbar Singh. The style and the punch dialogues made the fans mad. Though I couldn't understand the Telugu Language, I watch is with the sub-titles. As much as I love the role of Pawan Kalyan, I love the character of Brahmanandam Garu in the film.

I have watched it more than 20 times. Every time, the charm increases more. And we all were waiting for the next part, Sardar Gabbar Singh. It came with a totally different story and also with a new heroine Kajal Agrawal. But, I didn't like the 2nd part as much as I like the 1st part.

But, who cares about the story when the Power Star himself in the film. So, we watched the full movie, but not as many as times with the 1st one.
