You should regret not watching it in a theater. Movies like these are meant to be watched in a cinema. Then again, Synder always has extra goodies saved for the Blu-Ray releases.

Sucker Punch (2011) - IMDb 8/10
Watch this movie for its awesome style while dealing with action scenes. The special effects were too good that i regretted on not getting an HDrip of the movie.
For me, the action and special effects were the least interesting bits. The movie has much more to it.
By the way, watched Dirtector's extended cut. There's one additional song (Love is the drug), which too is good and there a decent twist focussing on high roller, which was lacking in the original version. Few more details here and there. The movie still is a brainfck.
Watched it long back. This is what I recall - The guy went into the (persistent vegetative state) coma after the complication in the colonoscopy procedure. Whatever he is experiencing in the hospital after that is what he dreams. He dies in the end (i think the life support is removed). While dying, he experiences he is jumping. All the characters he experiences are what he saw before he went into PVS.

Can you please tell me the extra duration of the DC from the original one? The one I watched had that Love is drug song at the finishing, so I wonder but I didn't get the High roller part, can you please explain it a bit?

This is what ran across my mind, while watching the trailer of Singham:
Another Gangajaal!
...
Gangajal was really good. If this movie is even half as good as Gangajal it would be good enough.
South Indian film copy
Yes it is a remake of tamil movie Singham starring Suriya.
...
Definitely from a South Indian Film director
Rohit Shetty has directed only hindi movies so far and he is from Mumbai, so definitely not a South Indian film director.
...
RAJNIKANT!
WTF! How vehicle jump from a bullet!!
Now you can't start bringing Rajnikanth in this context. He is in his own league.

Extra duration is around 18 mins, I think. Love is the drug song takes place on the stage when the customers visit that place. The sets in the songs reminded me of Moulin Rouge(havent watched that movie though.
There are some more details of the mental asylum, when Rocket meets Babydoll for the first time.
Babydoll fires 2 bullets at her step dad (shown just one in theatrical version).
High roller is actually the lobotomist doctor. He appears to give philosophical gyan before he performs the procedure.
I think you watched theatrical version.

I think he sees this part in his dream (persistant vegetative state - Coma). They didnt operate wrong patient. Its just a khichadi of things he experiences in his dreams which is made from what he saw before the endoscopy and what he listens when in PVS.
An endoscope is put in his as*. Which punctures the intestine and the gas leaks into the blood vessel and travels to his brain and he goes into coma (if i recall things correctly).
then there is scene of his wife cheating on him...then the afro guy killed the hot nurse
Its his dream
but when his family is gathered in the end the nurse was there.....
She is there as she never died.

Yeah...it would have been a better experience if i watched that flick in a Cinema.
But this is a brainfu(k movie and in Movie theatres you don't get the chance to rewind the flick and see whats actually happening when you loose track with the storyline
....I had to rewind and re-watch a couple of scenes to actually understand what was going on

It's definitely not brain f*ck. Thought provoking to some extent, but certainly not mind-f*ck. For anyone who hasn't seen this movie, watch the Director's Cut.

I have Yolks not Brains!
Delhi Belly - Strong 8.5/10 :
Unfortunately(or fortunately ?) my hall played the hindi dubbed version , and my review is based on that.
The movie is about 3 flatmates and the crazy events they become a part of. The story that unfolds over 1 and half hour is not groundbreaking as such, but it is good enough to keep you interested.
What works for the movie is the tight editing and the seamless story telling. No shot was wasted on romance or drama or songs(except the hilarious 'Ja Churail' number and the end item dance) or anything that is not related to the plot.
The movie never drags and once it gets rolling, it has one good scene after the another.
The movie is filled with abusive language (but not forced) and there are few in-you-face sexual references in the movie. Not recommended to go on a first data (saw a couple leaving within 5 mins ) .
But even if you take that shock value out, the movie has enough content to leave a mark on you. The movie is full of hilarious scenes and some bizarre moments that will bring the house down. (except few toilet/fart sound jokes which I did not like, but the audience liked it ).
The assembled cast was pretty good and every one played their part perfectly. Much of the humor comes from the right comic timing and dialogue delivery, which was well done.
Imran Khan acted well and the sidekicks play their parts perfectly. The heroins (dunno their name, too lazy to google) acted decently too. The villain was a bit stereotypical but it was always fun when he was on screen.Well played part.
The movie never takes itself seriously and nor should the viewer . Although a lot of crazy things happen in the movie, there is a realism vibe to it, much like the vibe 'Ye Saali Zindagi' (another excellent movie) had in it .
Credit goes to the writers too, for not treating the audience like idiots and for providing them with some interesting moments and a lot of laughter.
The movie is not flawless or nor does it achieve all the things it wanted to. But it's a step in the right direction and has a lot of content to give you a good time.
Highly recommended.

Transformers: Dark of the Moon - 7/10
Although I was disappointed with the second part (loved the first one) I had good expectations with this one. And it didn't disappoint much.
Whatever was the plot , it really doesn't matter cause no one goes to Transformers for it's story(and those who do comes out disappointed) And that was the biggest problem with the film. It takes itself way too seriously and wastes a lot of time setting up the plot in first half. The human scenes are the low-point of the movie and a lot of such flab should've been cut out. Cmon, I did not pay to watch Shia LaBeouf act. At 2h30 the film does feel long and a bit tiring in the first half.
But like the previous Transformer movies, the payback comes in the 2nd half where the larger-than-life action unfolds. And in that regards, I was well satisfied.
There is a lot of action in the movie and personally I feel it was the best of the lot. One of my biggest problem with the previous films were the ShackyCam effect and ultra close ups during the fight scenes where it was hard to follow what's goin on.
Thankfully its so much better in this movie. The action scenes are super duper fun to watch and it goes for a long enough time to fulfill your appetite.
The 3D effects were the best I've seen . The transformers look fantastic and the 3D adds weight to them. Some of the shots (especially one with skydiving) is stunning to watch.
If you have watched Michael Bay movies previously, then you know what to expect. He will try to create a meaningful story and fail. He will try to give the films an epic feel and fail. He will try to put witty one-liners and emotional scenes in between and fail. But his success comes in creating some of the most fantastic action sequence ever caught(or rendered) on camera. And in this regard, he has outdone himself this time.
