Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom Film Review By Manya Malhotra

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom  
4 
Thriller
Cast: Bryce Dallas Howard, chris Pratt, Daniella Pineda, Justice Smith, Jeff Goldblum 
Director: J.A.Bayona
Story: Claire and Owen must rescue the dinosaurs from the fictional Island of Isla Nublar before a volcano erupts causing the extinction of all the species. 
Review:We are back to the world of terrifying, screeching dinosaurs and greedy, malicious humans. Unlike its prequel and more like the first ever film in the Jurassic park franchise , Jurassic world: Fallen Kingdom focuses quite a lot on fear; fear of the audience. Dinosaurs unexpectedly shoot up from the depths of the sea, open doors with their blood thirsty claws and bite off human heads like they are their midday snacks. Spanish Director J.A.Bayona makes sure that we are sitting on the edge of our seats throughout the run time of this gripping motion picture. Even the weather; stormy , rainy and unpredictable is used to bring out the situation the characters of the movie are stuck in. That being said, this is not a horror film and never do its proceedings leave you pale and in a cold sweat. It is more of a thriller/ adventure film. Even the CGI and animatronics over here are quite impressive. However the one place where Jurassic Park: Fallen Kingdom falters  is the ending. While the ending of this film will serve as the beginning of the next film in the franchise it just seems improbable. I mean obviously this whole film is improbable but the whole motive here was to rescue the dinosaurs without harming anyone and the ending compromised that idea to a great extent. Bryce Dallas Howard’s introduction scene has the camera focusing on her high heels( A clear dig on the controversy that ensued after the actress was widely criticised for sporting high heels and running around an island full of dinosaurs in the previous Jurassic world film.)  she does a good job and plays her part with conviction. Chris Pratt who most of us remember as Star Lord aka Quill from The Guardians Of The Galaxy franchise is here as well and is in top form. All in all it is safe to say that unlike the dinosaurs in the story, you will not need rescuing as the film keeps you thoroughly engrossed.  Clip your nails before entering the theatre, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is quite a nail biting experience! 
Ps: Do not wait for the post credit scene it’s 5 seconds long and you would rather be anywhere else!

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...

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...
