The Miranda Brothers #PicksAndPiques #JohnsonThomas

#PicksAndPiques #JohnsonThomas #internationalfilmfestivalcircuit #FilmMovieDocumentaryOTTReviews
Film: #TheMirandaBrothers Rating: * *



This drama about two brothers (one of whom is adopted), aspiring club-level-football players , feels familiar & goes the typical ‘Maa’ way. There’s no real tension here but the performances are decent. The narrative feels placid, thrills are minimal & helming, rather unremarkable.

Film: #BandaaSinghChaudhary Rating: *



A shoddily reprised his-story.Poorly scripted with zero character development this waywardly plotted attempt at historical, fails to garner interest. Replete with ill-fitting romance&hackneyed sentiment neither the casting,performances nor direction sits well here. You don’t get the import of history or any vivid depiction of strife here.

Dragon Ball Daima/ Doragon Bôru Daima #PicksAndPiques #JohnsonThomas

#PicksAndPiques #internationalfilmfestivalcircuit #FilmMovieDocumentaryOTTReviews #JohnsonThomas
Title: #DragonBallDaima/ #DoragonBôruDaima ( on #Crunchyroll) Rating: * * 1/2

This original #scifi #fantasy #anime #adventure comes as a celebration of the #40thanniversary of #AkiraToriyama’s original #manga #DragonBallanimefranchise. The manga artstyle is reflected in the anime, sound & music is typical and voicing keeps you in the loop of what you are used to. Series composition by #YukoKakihara &character design by #KatsuyoshiNakatsuru stay true to the original form. Its not thrilling but colorful &keeps the fans engaged.

Title: #ParisHasFallen Rating: * * *



#GerardButler's '...Fallen' movies gets a new lease of life on OTT. A tense, edge-of-the-seat action thriller this series starts off with a bang. #DieHard style hostage situation with revenge as motive. Slick action, less word play & frequent twists keep you engaged and interested. Actors perform competently, edgy pacing, risky maneuvers suit the spy vs mole dramatics.

Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video #PicksAndPiques #JohnsonThomas

#PicksAndPiques #JohnsonThomas #internationalfilmfestivalcircuit #FilmMovieDocumentaryOTTReviews
Film: #VickyVidyaKaWohWalaVideo Rating: * 1/2

Imagine getting hysterical over a lost CD containing first night porn. Tiresome, inane, ludicrous, outdated comic drama. Difficult to have a laugh over ancient shenanigans. The only reason this film saw the light of the theatres might be because #TriptiiDimri & #RajkummarRao have become hot property after #Animal & #Stree franchise

Film: #Jigra Rating : * *
If not for spunky, resilient, go-getter essayed by #AliaBhatt in full throttle, this film would have been worthless. A ridiculous prison-break-in-a-foreign-country story (#Gumraah #Savi), wayward plotting & unlikely #ManojPahwa giving assist & #VivekGomber playing a cop in Hanshi Dao, this film fails to strike the right notes.

The Tribe #PicksAndPiques #JohnsonThomas

#PicksAndPiques #JohnsonThomas #internationalfilmfestivalcircuit #FilmMovieDocumentaryOTTReviews
Title: #TheTribe Rating: * 1/2

This reality show with a group of 5 influencers going by the name #Collabtribe, transported to LosAngeles as part of an entrepreneurial experiment by #HardikZaveri is #BigBoss in another garb. There’s neither vision nor smarts, its all vaccuous, unpalatable noise, aimless hysterics with unlikely cohabitants, celeb kids mostly, claiming to have influence,trying to ace the game that they are ill-equipped to do. At the end you’ll be glad they decided to call it quits!Phew!
