Ante Sundaraniki - Telugu movie

 Had watched this movie , Ante Sundaraniki, two weeks back and fell in love with it ! I am a fan of good humor . If it is a Telugu movie and it is a comedy , it is usually worth a watch . The comic timing is excellent. The humor is usually predominant in the first half , the action and all the hue and cry happens in the second half . In the past , there are many times when me and my room mate Rashmi, would rent the movie , watch only the first half and return it back .

This particular movie, follows a young couple , who belong to two extremely conservative families from two different religions. They fall in love and decide to marry . The humongous task of convincing their parents now falls upon them . They weave a web of lies to make things work but unfortunately everything back fires on them .
The movie is taken in a very light vein and all characters are given equal importance. The youth’s determination to change perspectives and the agony of the parents when their belief systems are challenged is showcased really well . The solution and climax is highly dramatized , but the key take away from this movie is the humor . It is neither loud nor cheap , but subtle and intelligent. I don’t remember when we last laughed so much watching a movie . I like Nani, he is a very seasoned actor . His Shyam Singha Roy was amazing . The entire cast , the heroine , his parents , the girl’s parents and the office crew have done a phenomenal job . I got a little nostalgic watching this movie . Wish they make sensible movies like these more often .

Persuasion - 2022 (NetFlix)

 I did watch it yesterday night . Well , it was bad . The script writer ought to be penalized , very poor screenplay . There is no chemistry between the lead pair . Wentworth looks sorrowful throughout the movie . To be fair , the heroine , Dakota Johnson acted well , but her character resembles more of Elizabeth Bennett than Anne Elliott . I wished if they had cast Henry Golding ( Mr.William Elliot ) as WentWorth, there would have been better chemistry between the two . The movie is shot well, the settings are beautiful. That made it a little bearable . The trailer set the tone of the movie already , so no surprises yesterday. We can write it off as another Bridgerton attached to the NetFlix wagon .

Obiwan Kenobi - Disney +

 This Disney+ series follows Jedi Master Obi-Wan who is chased by the grand inquisitors and is entrusted to find little Princess Leia and come face to face with his once dearest friend and apprentice Anakin , and now his greatest enemy Darth Vader . Excellent visuals , gripping screenplay . You cannot miss the duels between ObiWan And Darth Vader . There are lot of loopholes in the plot , but well with the two most popular characters of STAR WARS on the screen , all eyes are just on them ! A fine series , well made !
