Watch List 2025

Karthik Calling Karthik 2010

Rating: ★★★★☆ 8
Genre: Thriller
Date : 26 July 2025
Brief Review: A strong 8, especially for the crowd I got to see this with. Had seen this in pieces and bits long ago, but could not build a coherent story. Seeing this from Mahajan’s theatre was something of it’s own, I’ll highly recommend doing this if you’re in / around BLR atleast once. Coming to the plot, pretty early on it gets a bit predictable but still keeps you hooked, also you get amazing dance breaks : )

Se7en 1995

Rating: ★★★★☆ 8
Genre: Thriller
Date : 12 June 2025
Brief Review: Thriller, very captivating. Saw this with Divyansh, pretty shitty ending but yes none of us were expecting a good enough ending. Could predict some of it, but the way it unfolds is bizzare and disturbing. Good movie, but neither would watch this again nor recommend this to anyone.

Magic Mike

Rating: ★☆☆☆☆ 2
Genre: nonsensical
Date : 17 April 2025
Brief Review: Has no plot except for Channing Tatum dancing

The Lego Batman

Rating: ★★★★☆ 9
Genre: Action
Date : 8 April 2025
Brief Review: Great fun movie for kids, lots of teeny tiny jokes. Stupidly funny, loved it

Palm Springs 2020

Rating: ★★★★☆ 9
Genre: Drama
Date : 1 March 2025
Brief Review: Love the teeny tiny details like Sarah stealing the wedding cake with the miniature toy on it The know you past conversation strikes a train of thought Not them seeing dinosaurs haahah, but the movie follows a template of having a weird middle part where the protagnists argue They have a shamless edx promotion too, but they do hide the apple logo Sounds like bullshit, did Sarah go through an equivalent of a physics undergrad Adam Sandler made a sci-fi movie, low how predictable and childish the movie is. You get one sentence, Adam using all connectors known. Great that they also informed the ‘hunter’ guy. I feel a strong majority of my discomfort arises from this notion of my to not be sad, an image that is hard to maintain. It’s not that the image is not shattered, it has happened quite a few times. It should not feel liberating to break the image, not having the image is a stronger liberation.

Demolition 2015

Rating: ★★★★☆ 8
Genre: Drama
Date : 11 February 2025
Brief Review: fun, captivating totally nonsensical but in a fun way Weird movie to watch into 1month of meeting someone Well we had an weird conversation a day before, for me not being sensitive enough and not being responsive. Felt Jake Gyllenhaal was that person for the first 40ish minutues, felt very weird and wrong to relate with the character for so long, for ignoring the little things that have been happening around. Maybe being nonchalant is a really bad adjective to be labelled, something which I got back in 2018. I should pay a bit more attention, lend more of an ear than a brain. Well I took a small break in between, talked to Shrivastava to ease myself, made Tea as it was a Tuesday. Heck yeah, even Mojo got his offer letter around 6PM. The second half made me realize that maybe I’m not that flawed of a person, the story wasn’t that relatable.

Dance Flick 2009

Rating: ★★★☆☆ 7
Genre: nonsensical
Date : 17 January 2025
Brief Review: fun, captivating totally nonsensical but in a fun way Has references to Superbad, Twilight (insane i know) and the oh shit its white guys amazing callback

Rating: ★★★☆☆ 7
Genre: Coming of Age
Date : 29 December 2024

Superhero Movie 2008

Rating: ★★★★☆ 9
Genre: nonsensical
Date : 28 December 2024
