Toxic movie review by Jyothi Venkatesh in Filmytown.com
Yash's much-hyped Toxic arrives with enormous expectations, lavish production values, multiple leading ladies, relentless action, and the promise of a bold psychological gangster drama. What it delivers instead is a visually noisy spectacle that often mistakes excess for substance. The film's biggest problem is its storytelling, or rather the lack of it. For a film reportedly mounted on a massive budget, Toxic struggles to establish a coherent narrative. The screenplay feels fragmented, with scenes stitched together in the hope that style alone can carry the experience. The father-son angle, dual-role twist, and hints of psychological themes never come together in a satisfying manner.

Core of Toxic

The film follows Raya (Yash), a ruthless gangster in Portuguese-ruled Goa. His rise to power is shaped by revenge, love, and betrayal. After falling for Nadia (Kiara Advani) whil ....

War 2 movie review
Hrithik Roshan returns as Kabir, a secret agent like no other, who infiltrates a powerful global syndicate that wants to rule the world. The film War 2 sets out to feebly suggest that democracy is far too an outdated idea for the corporate villain. For a change, it promises to put Hrithik in a morally ambiguous space, but as the mood is jingoistic and the star wants to play safe, the not-so-secret sauce of the script is ‘nation first’. The secret agent Kabir is accused of betraying the nation when he infiltrates a cartel, and his erstwhile mate Vikram alias Raghu (NTR Jr) is assigned the task of catching him red handed. Alas, the makers prove more successful in highlighting Kiara Advani’s curves than in conveying the contours of the storyline. It features a variety of stunts with a script that appears to be powered by artificial intelligence. This unintelligent sequel to War, ....

Shershaah movie review
This is a season of biopics or stories with their roots in reality for Bollywood after some Hollywood movies of the same genre. There is going to be a spate of such films which will either be released on OTT or in cinema houses as they start opening up as this wave of Covid subsides. Starting with Shershaah streaming on Amazon Prime. The movie is based on the life and times of Captain Vikram Batra of the 13th JAK RIF and his role in the Kargil war. Movies based on the lives of real heros are always an inspiration for generations, this movie being no exception, this movie is solely dedicated to Captain Batra and his growing years, his love life and his dream of being a soldier. During and after the Kargil war one did hear a lot about Captain Batra and his motto 'Yeh dil maange more' but as those still were early days of mass communication and smart phones had not proliferated thus w ....

Laxmii (2020) movie review
This movie was awaited for sometime because people wanted to see Akshay Kumar's daring transgender look in a saree. Laxmii released on OTT platform of Disney Hotstar on the 9th of November 2020. There were some fantastic promos, great posters, super trailers. All of which pointed to an entertaining masala horror movie with good dose of comedy put in to make it a universally watchable. There was also the controversy about its name which was then changed just before release from Laxxmi Bomb to Laxmii. All this was a sure shot formula for success at the hustings. No such luck though as the film Laxmii turned out to be a damp squib. A bomb that never went off. One sat through the whole movie for that moment to come, where the pent up expectation were answered but it never arrived. The start was punchy and it did give a scare down the spine. Then the scene with Akshay busting the myth o ....

MS Dhoni, movie review
This film inspires the youth of today and further shows the importance of taking the right decisions at the right time. The film is about the man you know, but not his journey. That's what this biopic is about. M S Dhoni - The Untold story follows the journey of this outstanding wicket keeper and acclaimed cricket captain in India - Mahendra Singh Dhoni, right from his origins as a budding cricketer from Ranchi and then becoming the most successful captain of Indian Cricket Team. Some of the several prominent aspects of Dhoni's life that we weren't aware about was that he initially disdained cricket and his penchant for football instead and then his signature "helicopter shot" which was taught to him by his friend Santosh Lal. The film begins with the ICC Cricket World Cup Final played in 2011 between India and Sri Lanka at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai where Mahendra Singh Dhoni (Su ....

Fugly Movie Review
A story based on the life of Delhiites about their attitude. As usual they aren't scared of anyone, even to the extent of not paying any heed to the regulations of the police force. Habituated, they often tend to break rules off and on, which lands them in a bigger problem, leading to any consequences - for which they have themselves to blame. (Fugly - Hindi Movie review) "Fugly" is a story of four close friends Dev (Mohit Marwah), Devi (Kiara Advani), Gaurav (Vijendra Singh) and Arfi Lamba (Tatti). Here Gaurav is a son of politician (Hari Singh Ahalawat) who is instrumental in often bailing out his friends whenever they are in a ditch. Or in simple words 'saved' whenever they break any rules. Hence these four move around as 'tension free guys'. Complication arises when a Shopkeeper happens to touch Devi and she immediately conveys this to her friends. The usual guy theory, they ga ....
