Begum Jaan (2017) - 6.5/10
I had low hopes with this movie, as it starts slow and is dull in first half. But second half is amazing. The Dialogues are brilliant and the ending. Many scenes are emotional and has good thought process.
The Songs are good too especially "Woh Subah Hami se Aayegi...." , with good lyrics.

Hellraiser (2022) - 6.5/10
Despite being a reboot, it still feels a bit too tame compared to the original. I have watched most of the Hellraiser movies and this one feels more like a sequel than a reboot. The concept is good and I liked the new art design of the Cenobites but almost everything about the movie is unmemorable. Almost all the characters, feel one dimensional and the lack of gore (there is some but not a lot) really turned me off. In other words, this one does not feel as scary as the first one.
The new female Pinhead design was good but doesn't have as much a central to the movie as I would have thought. She probably had about 4-5 mins of screentime in the entire movie which is too low for what is supposed to be an iconic character in the series. And in what little screentime she has in most of it she's standing still doing nothing, except for two scenes that I remember.
I also didn't like that the cenobites are shown to be more like zombies who just chase people about senselessly when they are actually supposed to be much more intelligent.
I'd say it's a good one time watch, but I don't think this is a return to form for the Hellraiser series.

Laal Singh Chaddha - 8/10
Beautiful movie, not copied anything from Forest Gump so no comparison, inspired from it. Boycotting this movie was useless.
Don't listen to what others say...just watch it. It's available on Netflix. Most of the reviewers have given it a pretty low rating after watching in Theatres which it definitely doesn't deserve.

All Quiet On The Western Front - 8/10
Good film if you like war movies. A bit slow and dramatic since it mostly tells a personal story of Paul, one of the volunteers in the German army during WW1. Shows a more mundane aspect of war with soldiers foraging for food and then there are scenes of brutal trench fighting and soldiers rushing across no man's land.
All roles were played pretty well IMO. Kinda reminds me of 1917 though on a somewhat bigger scale.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever - 6.5/10
Good spectacle but somewhat poor writing. Forgettable at best I think.
This is one of those "leave your brain at home" kind of movies. There's a lot of things that don't make sense and apart from a few characters, everyone else has little to no personality. There are some scenes that just make no sense, as in you could remove them and it wouldn't affect the story much at all. Main characters are Mary Sues who are just good at everything.
Story is okay as far as Marvel movies go but nothing too spectacular about it. I think the visuals and fights scenes make this movie, everything else is just mediocre at best.
Good homage to Chadwick.

Are you talking about him or the DC universe movies?
My (and other Warhammer fans') major concern was that Amazon might bungle this like they did with Rings of power or how Netflix bungled The Witcher. But knowing Henry I think he can pull this off. Though realistically, portraying the Warhammer (especially 40000) universe's true scale will be very expensive and corners will have to be cut, so I hope they can do the best that they can.
Also I hope they bring in Black Library writers instead of regular screenwriters like they did for ROP.
The warhammer 40000 setting is also pretty controversial given the present political climate, so I am expecting a lot of ruffled feathers.
I have very high hopes for Cavill, but as a common Warhammer 40000 quote goes: "Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment."
