Pirates of the Caribbean : Dead men tell no tales film review by Manya Malhotra

Pirates of the Caribbean : Dead men tell no tales   

Action
3
Cast:Johnny Depp, Kaya Scodelario  , Brenton Thwaites
Director:Joachim Ronning and Espen Sandberg
Story:Carina Smyth , Henry Turner and Jack Sparrow are all searching for the trident of Poseidon for different reasons . During their quest ,they encounter the wrath of a half - dead man and an old nemesis .Will they succeed ?
Review : Pirates of the Caribbean : Dead men tell  no tales is like being on a ship where you experience sea sickness at times but then when a thrill wave comes your way you are soaked in  exuberance. Some scenes in the film are quite amusing (we have Johnny Depp to thank for that ),and they bring in laughs .(watch out for Jack Sparrow 's entry scene ) . But in the attempt to be funny,  the makers overdo it and  some supposedly funny scenes miss the mark. Once the crew finds the ship ,they seem to reach their destination(which  I won't reveal ,  to avoid plot spoilers) pretty easily . The electrifying music helps in lifting the spirit of the film. The fight sequences do lose your attention sometimes but the climax scene is good.  The two new actors in this film Kaya Scodelario  and Brenton Thwaites fail to make an impact . Keira knightly in her two minute cameo perhaps was more effective than Kaya was in the whole film. Johnny Depp excels and lifts the film on his two shoulders ,kudos to him.  The fans of the franchise will be ecstatic at the chance to see the film in all it's glory and magnificence . They will all get to see their very own captain Jack Sparrow back on screen! 
As for those of you who are not well acquainted with the franchise , if you are ready for a bizarre voyage at sea with a queer captain  ,uncertain waters but an overall comfortable journey , go for it !

Saiyaara: A Film Review and My Thoughts on Its Reception- By Manya Malhotra

  Saiyaara: A Film Review and My Thoughts on Its Reception   Saiyaara Reception and Backlash Saiyaara opened to an 84 crores net domestic box office figure on its opening weekend, a feat unheard of for a film with newcomers, in an industry still recognised as primarily star-led. (For context, the two major films starring newcomers in the past 13 years- Dhadak and Student of the Year, earned 33.65 and 30 crores respectively). I have been a Bollywood (or Hindi film industry) fan for as long as I can remember. Seeing one of its films get such a massive reception has been heartwarming, and I cannot remember the last time a film got so much love. It has now been two weeks since the film’s release. I have read both positive and negative reactions to the film’s unprecedented success, and after digesting it all, I thought it was finally time to revisit my blog and pen down my honest opinion on both the film and everything that has followed since its release. Skeptics will spin many t...

Badrinath Ki Dulhania Film Review by Manya Malhotra

Badrinath Ki Dulhania 4 . 5 Romantic comedy Cast : Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan, Sahil Vaid, Akanksha Singh, Shweta Basu Prasad, Sukhmani Lamba Director : Shashank Khaitan Story : A  Whimsical boy from Jhansi has his heart set on a  headstrong girl from Kota. But she wants different things in life . How does their love story play out in a patriarchal society? Review : The film is set in the heartland of  India .  You are straight away transported into the world of Badrinath Bansal aka Badri  (Varun Dhawan ) and Vaidehi Trivedi (Alia Bhatt), characters that will stick with you . He is adamant on getting married to her , she wants to get a job and prove her worth to her family.  Full  credit to the director  (Shashank Khaitan ) for making a film which could easily have become stretched, boring and foolish into a realistic and believable film.  The film is entertaining and full of light hearted moments along with some cute ones ...

Meri Pyaari Bindu Film Review By Manya Malhotra

Meri Pyaari Bindu Romance 2.5 Cast : Parineeti Chopra, Ayushmann Khurrana, Aparajita Auddy,Rajatabha Dutta  Director :   Akshay   Roy  Story : Childhood sweethearts Abhimanyu and Bindu get separated .  Destiny , however has other plans for them as they   keep meeting each other repeatedly as they experience love, desperation ,heartbreak ,success and failure together. Review : Meri pyaari Bindu takes you back to the 1990s . The basic concept of the film is not something that is very new but the writers try hard to stand out . The film starts off well ,it is cute and  has some chuckle worthy moments ,but you keep waiting for SOMETHING to happen in the film! You wait for that defining moment in the film without which the film just seems incomplete. It looks like the scenes of the film were all shot and then joined together like in a jigsaw puzzle.  The film is therefore not able to make much of a connect with the audience.Even if...
