Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes Of Grindelwald Film Review By Manya Malhotra

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes Of Grindelwald

Fantasy

Cast: Eddie Redmayne, Johnny Depp, Jude Law, Zoe Kravitz, Ezra Miller, Alison Sudol, Dan Fogler Director: David Yates

Story: Dark Wizard Grindelwald is hell bent on killing all non- magic people (muggles) and it is up to Newt Scamander and a handful of wizards to stop him and restore peace in the world.

Review: The Harry Potter Series has been an absolute rage with people from all age groups knowing the charms and spells taught at their favourite Hogwarts on the tip of their tongues! Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes Of Grindelwald takes us back to the Wizarding World that we can never seem to get enough of! With swishes of wands, flying chariots and escaped prisoners the film starts off with a bang! Some well known characters from the Harry Potter World resurface here, Albus Dumbledore being the most prominent and judging by the applause, the most loved as well! Amidst the humorous one- liners, the fantastic beasts and the tactics of the ‘Oh So Evil Grindelwald’ we can also see a love story developing between two central characters. A lot is happening here. Some character back stories leave you perplexed and a particular revelation at the end just doesn’t seem to add up! But, what can we do? The film had me spellbound, irrespective of it’s setbacks. Eddie Redmayne as Newt is terrific, he becomes the character. Johnny Depp as the cold, calculative yet persuasive Grindelwald had me at the edge of my seat throughout. The charismatic Jude Law (Dumbledore), The dauntless Zoe Kravitz ( Leta Lestrange), The affable Dan Fogler (Jacob), The intriguing Ezra Miller (Credence) all make this film a worthwhile watch.

WARNING: DO NOT MISS THIS FILM, PREPARE TO BE CAPTIVATED, MYSTIFIED, STUPEFIED AND ALL THINGS NICE AFTER WATCHING THIS ‘FANTASTIC’ MOVIE.

I love Jk Rowling but I think that by making up so many theories after the HP series released she has ruined the timeline of the series. McGonagall was born in 1930 and this film is set in

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...

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...
