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...

Darlings Film Review By Manya Malhotra

Darlings Film Review By Manya Malhotra Cast : Alia Bhatt, Vijay Verma, Shefali Shah, Roshan Mathew, Rajesh Sharma, Vijay Maurya Director: Jasmeet K. Reen Review : Darlings is co-written by writer-director Jasmeet K Reen and Parveez Sheikh, who has films like Queen to his writing credits. It stars powerhouse performers like Alia Bhatt, Shefali Shah, and Vijay Verma — and is also Bhatt’s maiden film as a producer. Clearly, the expectations with this one are very high— and yet it still manages to make an impact. Darling s tells the story of Badrunissa who suffers physical and psychological abuse at the hands of her husband before one day finally deciding to retaliate. Make no mistake, Darlings is not an easy film to watch. It is infuriating but also determinedly terrifying. It lets you breathe but is also dangerously unsettling. The first half of the film is the hardest to watch....

Ek Villain Returns Film Review By Manya Malhotra

Ek Villain Returns Review ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ Cast : Arjun Kapoor, Disha Patani, John Abraham, Tara Sutaria Directo r: Mohit Suri Review: Ek Villain Returns is the smiley face-filled sequel to the Blockbuster film Ek Villain . If you did not get the smiley reference, you should probably check out the first film in the franchise—or not if you value your sanity even a little. I went into the hall for Ek Villain Returns highly sceptical, and willing to wholly suspend disbelief. My decision to do so paid off greatly as I denied myself my usual urge to protest exasperatedly when the hero, or villain, or whatever humiliated and terrified a famous singer to clear the stage (literally) for an up-and-coming artist who he happened to fancy. I also bought it when, impressed by this charming gesture the girl ended up falling head over heels in love with the man. This is Director Mohit Suri’s world, here love always coexists with pain...
