83 2021
Can easily be called the (Indian) Cricket version of Spiderman:NoWayHome - people cheering, clapping, staying till the literal end of credits.
I had absolutely zero expectations after the trailer and (lack of) marketing, but am so glad that I decided to watch this!
I cried towards the end I thinkEach and every member of the cast was phenomenal in their roles and as a cricket fan, it was an absolutely amazing experience watching this on the big screen.
I still don't agree with the way few of the things were represented (read: PMO and army for one) but okay.

Atrangi Re 2021
I liked the movie. Dhanush is phenomenal, as always, and his monologue in Tamil in a Bollywood movie really feels a welcome change. ARR's music elevates the experience to a whole new level - literally zero skips in the album. Sara (minus her accent) also gave a good performance, something I didn't expect after LAK2.
However, I'm not really sure for how long we can excuse Bollywood's half-ass attempts in including mental health and LGBTQ representation by saying "well atleast…

Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui 2021
Really liked how they dealt with the LGBTQ aspect, and Vaani shines through and through in her performance.
But while I can appreciate the efforts to bring awareness, the movie as a whole falls flat. Unnecessary songs, Unnecessary Punjabi accents and stereotypes. Cant believe how bad Ayushmann was in this
Even with a runtime of barely 2hrs, this movie feels too stretched. -
Spider-Man: No Way Home 2021
Expect disappointment and you'll never be disappointed
Is usually my mantra for Spiderman movies, but HOLY SHIT this one!!
The way the whole theatre at a 7am show erupted in screams when Andrew Garfield came on screen, a truly unmatched theatre experience 👌
All the performances were just so great! I laughed, I cried, I hooted - this movie is honestly a definition for fan service.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 2014
The story and the performances are inversely proportional to each other
-
The Amazing Spider-Man 2012
Can't believe it took me this long for a first watch and can I just say Andrew Garfield🥵

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings 2021
Made for a fun back-to-theatres experience!
Loved, loved, loved the BGM and cinematography so much
Had some really hot characters 🥵
But the plot faltered a bit and seemed to draw inspiration from various sources (just a small letdown). Overall a good movie, especially that end-credit scene👌To end I'd just like to say,
WELCOME TO HOTEL CALIFORNIAAA
