**DIRECTED BY :** Rahi Anil Barve

**STARRING** : Sohum Shah

**Tumbbad** is a 2018 Indian Hindi-language period horror film it follows the story of **VINAYAK** RAO search for a hidden treasure in the 20th century British India village of Tumbbad, Maharashtra. As a period piece, this film is chapterised into three time-lines, from early 1900s, down to mid-century — basically capturing the transition from British imperialism, rural-urban feudalism, to Indian independence — while the central character, a Brahmin boy, all the way to adulthood, remains attracted to Hastar’s gold. Which is as good a McGuffin as Mackenna’s Gold, to script an allegory around cardinal, Biblical sins — greed, to start with, then lust, gluttony, sloth. This is one of the best Hindi horror / thriller movie. Sohum Shah does a spectacular job ,unlike a horror film this movie explores the idea of a different thriller / horror. Its definitely worth watching.

SINISTER

December 15, 2019January 2, 2020krishihi10 Leave a comment

DIRECTOR : Scott Derrickson

CAST : Ethan Hawke

Juliet Rylance

Fred Thompson

James Ransone

A cynical hack writer moves his family to a house with a dark history, and is forced to face up to the supernatural.

Crime writer Ellison (Ethan Hawke) moves into a house to research a book about a mass hanging, without telling his wife (Juliet Rylance) or children that they’re living in a crime scene. Home movies found in the attic suggest a serial killer — or supernatural force — is responsible for the atrocities. Sinister see-saws between crime mystery and spooky stuff, as the slightly unhinged hero gets deeper into a puzzle that poses a threat to him and his family. Well-acted, reasonably paced and intriguing, this mid-list shocker from writer-director Scott Derrickson is nothing new, but delivers enough subtle creeps to get by.

DIRECTOR : Martin McDonagh

STARRING :

Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri is a 2017 drama film which revolves around a woman who rents three billboards to call attention to her daughter’s unsolved rape and murder. The film received widespread acclaim, particularly for McDormand and Rockwell’s performances. This is a tale of loss, grief and vengeance . The movie dwells and squats in the ugly pain, the very fire of the grief . The film continues to shock, stun and surprise until its very final moments. Funny, brutal and breathtakingly beautiful. Two exceptionally raw lead performances, supercharged by a bold script from Martin McDonagh. A must watch.

ISHAQZAADE – Review

December 10, 2019January 2, 2020krishihi10 1 Comment

At first glance, Habib Faisal’s “Ishaqzaade” has a lot going for it — there’s some great casting, good direction and performances. The milieu is different — arid, rugged, rural India and this is about feisty, gutsy lovers . Faisal sets up the film so tantalisingly, you can only wonder what surprises he plans on throwing at you. But the second half is somewhat of a let-down. The story goes haywire, characters act out of character, and the whole film sort of ends in a whimper, when it should have ended with a bang — which is how it starts. Both Zoya and Parma have every reason to hate each other, but when they end up falling in love, there are many repercussions — both political and personal. Amit Trivedi’s music is lilting and pleasant on the ears, especially ‘Pareshaan’ and the title track.

“Ishaqzaade” isn’t as good a film as it could have been, but there are still enough reasons to watch it.
