Y'all really Gaslit me into watching this movie😭

https://preview.redd.it/8ee2os0d8a4e1.png?width=474&format=png&auto=webp&s=007fde231d923781936cdcf1bc0a9552d8a22bc4

I'll keep it as spoiler free as possible.

The movie does start well but abruptly changes gear & has a lot of plot-holes.
Like for example
>The movie never laid any foundation for his greed or anger but he randomly jumps from humble poor guy to arrogant rich guy.
>He's rich enough to >!gift properties!< but still lives in the same low income society till >!he moves to US!<.
>Father's plot felt like a last minute adjustment. All we got was he is a CA but then as story unravels >!father's connections!< come out of nowhere.

There was no real character arc. The plot just felt like "Oh you thought that's it... Guess what". The story did have a lot of potential but as it entered the second half everything was pulled out of thin air. Other than that sound design is good. Set design is bad(I guess budget constraints). Performance by the overall cast is good. For some odd reason the dialogue weren't matching with lip movement(I was watching it in Telugu).

It is a one time watch at best. I guess I kept my expectations too high going in.

Appreciation post for MAHARAJA!

I am regretting my decision to watch this movie now and rethinking why I didn't watch it when it was released. But never mind. First of all, I would like to mention that I am still crying while writing this, and I just want to share my emotions that this movie has evoked in me.

I am, in general, a very emotional person, and movies like this will always leave me feeling emotional. No complaints, though.

From start to climax, I loved the story, the introduction of side characters, and how the timeline was shown. The scene at the barber shop was truly the best moment of the movie, not because of the actor or characters, but purely because of the way the twist was revealed, layer by layer, making the confusing yet engaging storyline even more compelling. After that, when Maharaja was narrating the whole incident again at the police station...(No words 😭)

I wanted to express my feelings, but I couldn't; I hope you guys can understand. When we finally had the big picture of the story, it was heartbreaking!

What's special about this movie is that it's not a new story! We've seen various movies with similar plots (no complaints again), but the way it was presented, and the way it connected with us on a deeper level, is what makes this movie unique.

I wasn't a fan of Vijay Sethupati, but I admired him in "Merry Christmas," which was the only movie of his that I'd seen. I didn't know what kind of actor he was, but after watching this movie, I can relate to and understand his fans. The persona he carries and connection he makes with the audience from the screen are insane.

Anurag Kashyap really surprised me. I wish we could have gotten more depth into both characters, Anurag and Vijay, in the movie itself. They have such different personalities, and it's not just black and white; I wish we could have explored more gray areas on a deeper level. But (not complaining for the third time), the movie remains perfect for me.

I think South Indian cinema excels at making ground-level, deeply rooted movies. Nothing in this movie feels exaggerated; it was so natural.

One moment of appreciation for Laxmi: the way Laxmi was narrated by Vijay and his daughter, and being part of the past and present of Anurag and Vijay's life, makes it special. (I am not joking.) The background score and sounds during the fight scenes were amazing.

That's it; the more I want to say, the less I am able to put into words. After a long time, I watched a movie that made me appreciate cinema again. We need movies like this once in a while, with actors who can do justice to their roles.

Peace out! I am going to go cry some more.

What are movies with parallel plots that merge called?

Movies like Super Deluxe (2019) and Maanagaram (2017). I'd love to watch such movies but I'm not sure what keywords to search. There must be a name for such movies. Fir example, movies that happen in a same space (like a room, train, home etc.) are called bottle movies; inspired from ship in the bottle.

Muizzle - Guess which movie is this shot from

Hi r/IndianCinema,

As lifelong Tamil movie fans, my friend and I wanted to create something fun to celebrate our favorite films. That's how we came up with Muizzle inspired by Framed.wtf but focused entirely on Tamil cinema. We plan to open for more languages depending on the support we get.

You'll see a frame from a Tamil movie and try to guess which movie it's from. If you're stuck, don't worry--you'll get another frame from the same movie to help. A new movie drops every day at 10 AM IST.

Here's today's first shot. Play Muizzle to see if you're right.

Good luck, and let us know what you think :)

Om Namah Shivayah 🙏

Aavesham is not just the regular massy movie but it's more than that...

I don't know the perception of the people how did they take the movie but I can give my opinion it was joyous emotional amd crazy ride even the songs matched the craziness frequency...but I would not count this in massy movie, more of a drama a crazy drama. And also I have seen malayalam movies does not have more of an action stunt in their movies but when they add, it perfectly matches I mean we see it quite realistic like jaya jaya jaya jaya hey movie.

What went wrong with this?

Why was this series relatively unheard of? I gave it a watch recently and realized how quietly Main Monica came and went from the Amazon recommendations

Any ideas why?

Kiran Rao has directed just two films in her career, Both of these movies have received International Acclamation !! What's the best thing about these movies or uniqueness about Kiran Rao's Direction ??

With just two films to her name, Kiran Rao has shown that quality speaks louder than quantity. Her movies have gained international recognition for their unique storytelling and depth. What do you think makes her direction stand out?
