Jawan (2023) - 7/10

Action is good and the background music. Plot is good. 1st half is interesting. 2nd half is weak. Climax could have been better.

But why was the original movie flop?

Very contrasting scenario.
Jawan and Gadar 2 success.
And the upcoming election.

Saw X (2023) - 8/10
After a long time in the series they made it excellent again. Saw 1 & Saw 2 were the best ones in the series and now Saw X.
John Kramer is back with a Bang!!!

Saw fans will enjoy this one.

Ah shit. I liked the Saw series but over the period of time I have the lost the stomach for gore movies. May be I should give another try. Hmmm...

Visited the last day of Japan film festival at South City INOX Kolkata & watched Anime Supremacy!

Movie was about the struggles faced by employees, in Japanese anime industry. It was based on some novel, like many other Japanese live-action movies, and was made pretty nicely. Definitely recommended.

However, there were still some sublime hints about following their toxic "overwork & relying on utopic activities during free time for stress release" culture, which I don;t really agree with. But, those are easy to ignore, and it was quite immersive experience with anime cut scenes and concepts in between.

They even gifted the audience a free Japanese highlighter as promotion. :clap2:

And well, during the movie all the audience appeared to be school & college kids, without much presence of middle age otakus like us, which kinda made us feel creepy. :|

And almost forgetting to tell, some of those kids came wearing their cosplay outfits, including the Japanese announcer person himself. May be I just experienced my first cosplay experience in India. May be, except, last time when I went to watch Assassin's Creed, some guys came wearing hoodies.

Trailer for whoever want to take a look.
