Through The Mist

YouTubing करताना ।। कसे करावं YouTubing  तर मित्रांनो मी मागील सहा महिन्यांपासून एक विरंगुळा म्हणून माझं YouTube चॅनेल चालवतोय ज्यावर मी books, comic books आणी video games review करतो. ह्याच बरोबर पाच महिन्यांपासून मी माझा वडिलांचा news oriented चॅनेल सुद्धा चालवत असतो.  सध्या मी बघतोय की घरी बसल्या बसल्या माझ्या बऱ्याच मित्रांनी स्वतःचे चॅनेल्स चालू केले आहेत (तब्बल 10जणांनी). त्यात काहींचे चॅनेल inactive आहेत आणि काहींचे नवीनच आहेत.  YouTube हा खूप कॉम्प्लिकेटेड प्लॅटफॉर्म आहे आणि तो समजायला खूप वेळ लागतो व त्या मुळेच बरेच जण हताश होऊन हा प्लॅटफॉर्म सोडून जातात. मी माझा सर्व मित्रांचे व्हिडिओस regularly बघतो आणि मला जाणवत की ते बऱयाच गोष्टी कडे दुर्लक्ष करतात ज्यामुळे त्यांचे views जितके नॉर्मली यायला हवेत त्या पेक्षा कमी येतात. ह्या पोस्ट मध्ये त्यांचा ह्या दुर्लक्षित बाबींबद्दल मी बोलेन व ह्यातून काहीतरी उपयोगी माहिती मिळेल अशी आशा करेन. एक गोष्ट मी clear करेन ती म्हणजे माझं चॅनेल हे खूप niche विषयावर आहे सो माझी growth खूप slow आहे. पण माझा वडिलांच चॅनेल हे एका ...

Betaal Series Review Okay so I'm never really interested in Netflix India or Amazon Prime India content because its always filled with all the same Government bad, Hindus bad, 4th or 5th wave feminism, LGBTQ ftw garbage, and other 'Woke' ideas. Take any show and tell me it's not there. So I just stay away from such content. For Betaal, I was actually excited as Asur was a quite good show and Tumbbad blew us away with the use of Indian mythology blended with horror. I thought Betaal will do the same because the premise is actually good. It was finally made available for streaming on Netflix yesterday and I was finally able to watch it. So yeah, here are my thoughts on the show. What I Liked? The Plot Premise A team of paramilitary troops, Baaz Squad is tasked with relocation and elimination of supposed Naxalites from the Betaal Mountain area so that the Government can successfully create highways through these lands. While the tribals are not really Naxals as you would h...

Extraction Movie Review Extraction is an action film directed by Sam Hargrave and stars Chris Hemsworth and Randeep Hooda in the lead. Ovi Mahajan, son of the biggest drug lord of India is kidnapped by the biggest drug lord of Bangladesh. Rake (Chris Hemsworth) and his team of mercenaries is paid to extract the kid safely out of Bangladesh and return him to India. But something goes wrong and now  Rake is stuck in Bangladesh with this kid and the film is how they try to get out of the country while everyone is on their hunt. I would have never watched this film because I knew what it's going to be but I did for the review and so let's get into what works and what doesn't with this film. What I liked Camerawork & Stunts The camerawork and stunts in this film are worth praising. Sam Hargrave is a stuntman and you can actually see that the movie is directed by a stuntman in action sequences. The one on one combat and close combat with ...

Train To Busan Movie Review While everyone is watching outbreak movies I think I have pretty much watched every good zombie movie out there. Train To Busan, upon its release in 2016 was praised worldwide and hailed as a zombie masterpiece at the time. I never got the chance to watch it but this lockdown is giving so much time to us that I'm finally catching up.  Train To Busan is a Korean film, directed by Yeon Sang-Ho and stars Gong Yoo, Kim Soo-Ahn, Ma Dong- Seok Sang-Hwa and others. I am not familiar with this director nor the actors even their names are not pronounceable to me. I rarely watch Korean movies, like one or two per year but they are always on par with or even better than what Hollywood produces.  Train to Busan is basically a horror sci-fi movie set in South Korea where the nation falls as the viral outbreak and the zombies take over. In this review, I'll try to sum up why it is hailed as the best zombie film and why it needs to be watched amids...

Midsommar Movie Review You can tell how visually stunning this movie it's by its poster! Midsommar is a horror movie written and directed by Hereditary fame Ari Aster starring Florence Pugh, Will Poulter, and Jack Reynor.  'A couple travel to Sweden to visit their friend's rural hometown for its fabled midsummer festival, but what begins as an idyllic retreat quickly devolves into an increasingly violent and bizarre competition at the hands of a pagan cult.' - Official Movie Premise Now this movie came out in 2019 and went unnoticed by me, somehow but in the ongoing lockdown I got to finally see this movie. I loved hereditary on all the fronts as an entertaining as well as a serious movie. going into Midsommar I had expected at least to be scared but Nah, I was totally disappointed.  I have a mixed feeling whether I liked this movie or not but let's just get on with the review and try to find out whether you should watch it or not because it...

Sexism and Misogyny is pretty much the answer It's hard to get a banner for these movies. South India cinema always remained somewhat a niched genre in itself in Indian cinema. It was confined to the Southern states and hardly ever reached the general audience through television. Around 2005 to 2006 the South Indian cinema finally started to gain a wider audience through dubbing and became popular among kids and younger audiences. Bollywood took its notice and started remaking these movies and literally printing money out of it. While the trend remains the same and people's love for these movies keeps growing I for one absolutely hate these movies. Now, don't jump to any conclusion. There are various reasons why these movies don't work for me. If they work for you it's absolutely fine. They work for my family too and I cannot change that. They are entertaining because the filmmakers take the absurdity to the next level. The ratings these films get...

I AM MOTHER || Movie Review Pathfinder anyone? Consuming Sci-fis is a great way to be sad, get depressed and drown yourself in nihilism yet somehow they manage to induce hope, motivation, and love in our minds.  I watched the Netflix Exclusive I AM MOTHER last night and it is a great Sci-Fi revolving around the same interesting or boring, overused debate of Artificial Intelligence or Humans. Can AI really take place of humans? What it means to be sentient? Are emotions exclusive to us only or they can be simplified down to binaries? Also. why humans need to go extinct for a better world. This has been an interesting debate for me since I was a kid and I always find these boring movies a great way to forget about the current issues and focus more on the issues that we may have to face in our species future.  Let's get into the review. What I Liked? The Plot & The Direction A teenage girl is raised by a robot designed to repopulate Earth. Thei...

The Hunt || Movie Review Only the 'woke' liberals will understand the literature, amma right bois? The Hunt directed by Craig Zobel and stars people whom I won't name because it will be a spoiler.  This movie inspired a lot of controversy in America and I still don't understand why. It all that Hillary, Trump, 'Racist' Hollywood, blah blah bullshit. As an Indian, or even as a left or right winged guy, I don't find anything that is even remotely offensive in this movie. Rather I think this movie perfectly reflects the current creation of online echo chambers and nicely tries to criticize it.  ' Twelve strangers wake up in a clearing. They don't know where they are -- or how they got there. In the shadow of a dark internet conspiracy theory, ruthless elitists gather at a remote location to hunt humans for sport. ' This is part of the official premise of the movie which I have partly pasted because the movie was and other movies a...
