Happy New Year!

I know I’m saying it a couple of days late, but it’s still the beginning of 2018.

I hope this new year brings luck and is a prosperous year for everyone.
I admit I had said I was going  to get back to posting regularly, but life always gets in the way. I don’t know how some of you keep it consistent, it’s hard!

This post is basically what I do at the beginning of the new year, listing all the movies I’ve watched over the past year, and yes still categorised into Hollywood and Bollywood movies.
I admit last year I hardly watched many movies, and I honestly don’t know why.
It was either a) because the trailers didn’t entice me enough or b) I wasn’t too interested in the actors/actresses in these movies, or c) both of the above.

As always the movies I have highlighted are the ones I would recommend a watch.

So here’s my list:

  • Qarib Qarib Singlle (2017)

I haven’t watched as many Bollywood movies as I would have liked or I had over the past couple of years. Personally I feel Bollywood went through a slump in 2017. The movies that did particularly well with the audience mostly fell in the comedy genre like Mubarakan, Judwaa 2 and Golmaal Again, and obviously I can’t forget the super-hit of the year Bahubaali 2, which technically is Telegu and been dubbed in Hindi to reach a more global audience, so it’s still Indian cinema just not Bollywood.
It was a great year for the “Indie” movies, which I would say have now become mainstream.
I’m glad to see, we as an audience are demanding more content in the movies we watch, and I hope it continues this coming year.

What movies from last year would you recommend I watch?

Films Watched in 2016

Posted in Film by

Firstly hello and welcome back! I have been on a year hiatus from blogging, purely because lack of motivations amongst medical reasons.

A little life update, I have graduated from my University with a 2:1, and with operations in between, I think i’ve done pretty well which means I’m just at a really good space, and hopefully can continue blogging.
This break hasn’t stopped me from watching loads of movies and TV shows though, and over the past couple of years I’ve also developed a new interest; listening to podcasts!
I’ll do a little post about the podcasts I’ve been listening to and would recommend if you guys are interested.

I thought as it’s my first post back after a year, let me start by doing a mega-post of all the movies I’ve watched in 2016.
These are a combination of Hollywood, Bollywood and new category South Indian. These are more regional movies as Bollywood only accounts for North Indian cinema.

The films I have highlighted in bold are the movies I would recommend you to watch.

I don’t think I watched s many movies as I did in the previous years but I have realised that  my taste in films is slowly changing, I’ve started to really focus on good dialogue, story and even appreciate cinematography.
Have you watched any of the movies in my list? What did you think of them?
