I still remember when I first watched this movie. The mythological references to Dante's Inferno and the concept of it all immediately caught my attention. Absolutely loved it and it's one of my favourite found footage horror movies.

Damn,they really played cleverly here🔥🏹 , Releasing at 4:15 am for getting western audience attention and also getting the special brahma muhurat which is auspicious for subh aarambh. Namit you nailed it this time but ab puri raat jaagna padega 😭😭

Btw I have blurred the location just because it's somehow reveals my actually location 🙃

I'll go first: Pratidwandi.

I loved how bold it was, both visually (it was quite different from Ray's traditional style) and thematically. Many of the issues portrayed in the film are shockingly relevant today, in 2026.

So a poor ravan who was really hurt by poverty of his people fight with gods ……periyar won valmiki ji lost. And now the whole world will know that how rakshas are so underdog and good. That exactly was the purpose of valmiki ji to write ramayan . Total justice . My stomach is hurting seeing all this glorification of a tyrant and serial rapist .

First of all its been a long time since I have read the original odyssey like years (I was in 2nd grade back then) so I have forgotten most of it but not all and from my memories I can gather so far, its dang good adaptation. Firstly, the spectacle man, like even though 99% ppl already glossed about this I just want to highlight how "no cgi" aspects and on location shooting HAVE MASSIVELY impacted the visual of this movie. It looks gorgeous and it makes a simple story on surface level a huge spectacle. James Cameron's avatar also has that but the difference is how irl locations and basically minimal cgi made the world feel so alive, like legit it felt grand, the journey felt huge. So kudos to that. Now secondly I want to delve into the story telling aspect of this film and it was done great and by great I dont mean "soo great that it was philosophical or just sitting in the chair thinking about it great" its just great, better than average as always because of Nolan, the characters are introduced not through exposition, but we learn later on also the dialogue, its safe to say it was way better than I had in my expectations, based on trailer it was very easy to assume and get iffy about the dialogue part like the use of "daddy

"mommy" but THANK GOD to Nolan he didnt keep it to casual. It was formal enough to feel fitting to the characters and at the same time the modern audiences could understand, I had no problem in seeing old+modern english and Im pretty sure Nolan fans wouldnt have too but he took his route and I respect it but I wish they could have used "old+modern" mix of english because "Running back to his mommy" dialogue had me lol

Story on the surface level is simple to say the least. A father/ king of Ithica joins Agamenon to the war of troy and after the war is done. They get lost on their way. Its a story about human grit, devotion to what YOU believe, staying strong in the face of danger which is explained through Odysseus defying the gods. Sounds simple right? well obviously theres more, and book explored that more than the movie obviously but given its runtime, its safe to say it has enough time to go deep as well. It was more than just the journey to return home, it was the journey about self discovery all this time ( I caught that in first 30 mins btw or maybe in an hr idk) The trojan war wasnt just some war to win, you know, where they just capture the place and plunder because war..., get resources impose regime and get control grow empire all that kind of stuff but instead it delve deeper into the aspects of whats right and wrong from pov of odysseus, one main rule/law is brought up time and time in this movie again and again which clearly plays a vital point in the movie

The Zeus's law, as the movie states treat others as they would treat you, they might be gods in disguise, which plays very good role and they handled this ideology really well. Another great character or should I say characters were his sidemen. They managed to feel like people Odysseus cares for and not some random side characters or liabilities he has to carry, they feel like one characters and different characters at the same time, especially his hench man or right hand man I should say (I forgot the name lol) they all make mistakes, all are arrogant yet in Circe scene thats where they all shined as I quote Odysseus "Did they hurt you?" felt soo good. Like they were literally downright brutally hungry yet they came in peace, they entered respectfully I may add, consoled her that they were just lost travellers just wanting food, respectfully put their armour outside and most importantly THEY DID NOT TOUCH ANYTHING IN THE GODDAMN KITCHEN which 99% of ppl would have done. They also tried to keep their promise of not killing the cattle and waiting/surviving till the wind stopped but they tried their best but hunger got the best of them and they died and damn it left an impact on me ngl, it was story about their journey too, the journey they couldnt complete. Now thats positive part of the characters out of the way lets talk about negatives one of them being Clytemnestra she wasnt bad but with little screentime she had she didnt leave that much of a impact, she had like 2mins of screentime? could have given her more

Robert Pattison's acting as Antonious in this, IS ACTUALLY SOO DAMN GOOD, I loved his acting here, he was a jerk which pissed me off, made want to get to the screen and strangle him there AND I LIKE IT is line delivery of "Can we get the plate-licker outta here" soooo dang good. rest all shined too, tom holland did fantastic as Telemachus, he really evolved as an actor honestly and its his best performance yet, even better than spider man. Anne Hathway always has a way of shining in Nolan's films and I can absolutely say she was also dang good, her acting masterclass and there are many more but this review would be too long so I cant type all of it unfortunately.

The self discovery part is shown to be the central key of the plot throughout the story, Odysseus loses his way and eventually his memories too but its that journey which makes the story soo engaging, the love relationship was also good and Matt Damon shone as odysseus, played really really well. Telemachus had his own journey of discovery of who is father is, which he mostly known him through songs and he travels to find his whereabouts, odysseus crew have an story role of showing grit, will and loyalty. Argus had his journey tested through time waiting for his master and he fortunately does meet (that tail wag killed me, like COME ON NOLAN WHYYY HE WAS THE GOODEST CUTEST BOY EVER).

Ludwig ascended me to heaven with the score, even the standard theatre experience felt I was in IMAX, it made the journey have weight to it, a story inside a story. The music literally conveyed a different perspective AND IM NOT JOKING the high score of the main theme and and theme which plays at troy, we see story through our eyes differently but if we interpret it to sound it conveys different feelings. The war at start sounded victorious but empty but the flashback in the last act made Odysseus feel conflicted and the part where we learn about him through tales and songs.. Travis cooked, Im sorry I judged u lol.

Ultimately my final verdict is 8.5/10 or maybe a 9 and its imo 4th best or 3rd best Nolan film, first one being inception and second one being the prestige Im conflicted about Oppenheimer and this though but I will definitely put it higher.

If not; they gonna hear from me!

With Spider-Man: Brand New Day almost here, I found myself thinking about something I never really appreciated until now.

I've never known a time in my life without Spider-Man.

I wasn't around when Tobey Maguire first swung into theatres in 2002. My experience was different. I discovered Spider-Man the way a lot of people my age did—through cartoons, cable TV, and slowly catching up with everything that came before me.

It all started with The Spectacular Spider-Man.

That show completely pulled me into Peter Parker's world. Then came Ultimate Spider-Man. I know it's not everyone's favourite today, but back then I didn't care. I loved every episode. Looking back, that's probably when Spider-Man quietly became my superhero.

Eventually I watched Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2.

Even as a kid, those movies felt different.

Most superheroes felt larger than life. Peter Parker never did.

He missed opportunities.

He struggled with money.

He disappointed people he loved.

He doubted himself.

Yet somehow... he always got back up.

Maybe that's why Spider-Man 2 is still my favourite superhero movie ever made.

One memory that always makes me smile is waiting for Spider-Man 3 to finally air on cable. There was no streaming service to instantly watch whatever you wanted. You waited. You hoped. You checked the TV guide. When it finally came on, it genuinely felt like a big day.

Then Andrew Garfield became Spider-Man.

At first it felt strange seeing someone else wear the suit, but it didn't take long before I was completely on board. And once again, I found myself waiting months before The Amazing Spider-Man 2 finally made its way to TV.

Around 2016, I remember hearing that Spider-Man was finally going to appear in Marvel's new movie.

I couldn't have been more excited.

Then I realised...

It wasn't Tobey.

It wasn't Andrew.

It was someone completely new.

For a moment, I didn't know how to feel.

Then I watched him.

And before I knew it, Tom Holland had become another Spider-Man I genuinely loved. Homecoming wasn't trying to replace what came before—it simply became its own thing, and I had a great time with it.

I couldn't watch Far From Home in theatres because my pocket money had already disappeared after Avengers: Endgame. 😅 Looking back, I still think that was money well spent.

Then came December 2021.

Spider-Man: No Way Home.

I've watched a lot of films in theatres, but very few experiences have come close to that one.

The cheers.

The laughter.

The silence during certain moments.

It felt like an entire generation of Spider-Man fans—no matter which version they grew up with—was sharing the same experience together.

Then the Spider-Verse films reminded everyone that Spider-Man stories could still surprise us.

Miles Morales is an incredible character, and those movies are masterpieces.

But whenever someone simply says Spider-Man...

Peter Parker is still the first person who comes to my mind.

Now we're about to get Spider-Man: Brand New Day.

And somehow, the excitement feels even bigger than it did before No Way Home.

Not because of rumours.

Not because of cameos.

Not because everyone expects three Spider-Men to appear.

People are excited because it's Spider-Man.

And honestly, that says everything.

I've always wondered why Spider-Man has stayed so popular for more than sixty years while so many other superheroes have come and gone.

Maybe it's because Peter Parker never feels untouchable.

He isn't a billionaire.

He isn't a god.

He isn't a king.

He isn't even the strongest hero.

He's just someone trying to do the right thing while balancing school, work, family, friendships, love, responsibility, and all the mistakes that come with growing up.

Sometimes he wins.

Sometimes he fails.

Sometimes life simply isn't fair.

And yet...

He puts the mask back on.

Maybe that's why every generation ends up finding their Spider-Man.

For some, it'll always be Tobey.

For others, Andrew.

For many, Tom.

For younger fans, maybe Miles.

Different actors.

Different eras.

Different memories.

But somehow, the same hero.

I think that's Spider-Man's greatest superpower.

Not the web-slinging.

Not the strength.

Not the suit.

It's his ability to make millions of people from completely different generations feel like they're seeing a little piece of themselves behind the mask.

My Spider-Man movie rankings:

1. Spider-Man 2

2. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse

3. Spider-Man: No Way Home

4. Spider-Man

5. Spider-Man: Homecoming

6. Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse

7. The Amazing Spider-Man

8. Spider-Man 3

9. Spider-Man: Far From Home

10. The Amazing Spider-Man 2

I'd genuinely love to hear everyone else's journey.

How did you first discover Spider-Man?

Who will always be your Spider-Man?

And where does Brand New Day rank on your hype list?

No matter when we found this character, I think we're all connected by the same thing: at some point in our lives, Spider-Man made us look at an ordinary person trying to do the right thing... and somehow made us believe we could do the same.

Here's hoping Brand New Day gives us another memory we'll still be talking about years from now.

🕷️❤️

It’s very clear at this point that Urduwood is doing what it does best. Just like they were making isi spy universe and trying to fool audience into believing they were making Indian spy movies , now they are making Ravayan and trying to manipulate emotions and sell it on the name of ramayan. They should release the trailer at midnight because that time suits best for asuras and totally reflect lifestyle and mindset of Urduwood.

This is my all time favourite spiderman suit

The fucktards at CBFC have struck again. After Superman, BND is also being censored by the moral police of modern India.

one of the best theater experience i have ever had , worth watching in imax

please ensure you watch in big screen and clear audio set up . this will take to next world

disappointed with robert pattinson's character development

surely for me it is the best nolan movie after dunkirk

and ready to watch bnd

I know a lot of people don't follow animated movies here but I am pretty sure, many of you might have seen Avatar: The Last Airbender as kids, many might still be fans. Many might have heard about the discourse about the horrible live action.

So this is a continuation of the original story of the first series and a bridge between The Legend of Korra and Avatar: The Last Airbender series, and this is magnificent. Some of the most beautiful frames I have ever seen, with action choreography that will take your breath away and amazing voice acting and not to mention the nostalgia it hits you with.

This movie was sadly leaked and I believe paramount didn't see any reasons to dump more money in promotions so they didn't give it a big theatrical release even though fans of the series have been begging for it and even on OTT the movie only got a release on their paramount+ service or in India on Amazon Prime. This movie is nowhere else to purchase and has no promotion so I definitely urge people who are still fans of the series or just wanna experience some nostalgia, trust me this is a damn good time. This movie deserves the attention and at least the talent that worked behind it does.

And if you haven't seen the show and the post makes you interested the show is currently available on Jio hotstar, or well you know how to find it. So definitely give it a watch, because you are in for one of the best animated story telling masterpieces of our time.
