Minia's Mundane Musings

Thank God for Indian Cinema! I was extremely disappointed with the 2 movies I had been eagerly awaiting, Toofan and Malik.  But having watched Sarpatta Parambarai, I am so happy. It was a wonderful experience and one I wished I could have enjoyed in a movie theater with the beats of the action and the excellent movie score reverberating through my veins. It was the kind of movie that made me cheer aloud and pump a fist in the air.  In my opinion whosoever came up with the idea of subtitles, surely deserves a Nobel Prize. It is only due to the efforts of these great people that we get to enjoy cine-magic in languages we don't know. 😂😂😂😂😂 I know diddly-squat about boxing as a sport and even less about the protagonist in this film, Arya, but that didn't prevent me from having a rollicking time watching this. It was an immersive experience and I know I will go back for another helping. The story is of a person whose antecedents are from a boxing family and yet he has been kept

I had such a good time watching this one. The negative reviews be damned, this was a total fun ride. I came for Tapsee and stayed for Vikrant Massey. He is smashing. I loved him in this one, and I am sure you will too. Tapsee and Harshvardhan Rane and the others are good too, but Vikrant take a bow! The script is a bit hazy and the background score could have been toned down a bit, but it is a masala movie which I am sure would have had a good run at the matinee. The writing is very tight at times and then at other times, seems to be that Kanika Dhillon has no idea what she wants should happen. The non -linear mode has been employed to catalogue the events that transpire in a young married couple’s life. These are not merely teething troubles, but a genuine existentialist crisis. The husband and wife have very rigid, yet very naive views about a married relationship and struggle through it, thereby setting up an opening for the rascal cousin (twice removed) to muddy the already turbule
