Deul Band 2 review

By Avdhut
Blockbuster marathi Deul band's sequel has released in theatres on 21 may. Heres my opinion for the movie First part was released in 2015 after 2 weeks of Bahubali release. But it was not affected by the clash, because of its content. After I watched the part 2 trailer, thought this wont be good like the first one. But I was wrong. This movie is not any less than the first part. Deul band 2 is based on farmer's suicide in Maharashtra and their problems. It does not deal with it politically but practically. In a spiritual way.  Faith as a Strength, Not an Escape The story follows a struggling farmer who is pushed to his absolute limit, and his family, whose deep devotion brings Swami Samarth back into the picture. What I really loved about the writing is how Swami Samarth’s character is handled. He doesn’t just wave a magic wand to clear bank debts or make it rain instantly. The movie shows that spirituality isn't a shortcut to skip hard work; it’s the inner strength you nee...

Rajamouli's 'Varanasi to the world' Breakdown

By Avdhut
The wait is over. Director S.S. Rajamouli, the man behind global hits like RRR, has dropped the first look, officially titled Varanasi to the World , for his highly ambitious new project. What was known as Globe Trotter is now confirmed to be a massive, time-traveling adventure starring Mahesh Babu, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, and Prithviraj Sukumaran.  Here is a simple breakdown of the massive spectacle Rajamouli just revealed. 1. The Core Idea: Global Quest Across Time The film is not just an Indian story; it’s a globe-trotting expedition that is deeply anchored in India’s spiritual past. The trailer starts with a cosmic event: an asteroid named 'Shambhavi' falling to Earth, scattering powerful fragments across the world. These fragments are the sources of ancient energy that kick off a global quest. The movie is set across vast stretches of time, reaching back to 7200 BCE, which is ancient Ramayana times, and moving into the present.  Special mention: Maa Chinnamasta is shown i...

Dhurandhar: The Revenge- Spoiler free review

By Avdhut
Dhurandhar: The Revenge is not just a film, it’s an emotion that stays with you long after the screen fades to black. You won’t leave the theatre even after movie ends. It strikes a powerful balance between intense storytelling and deep-rooted patriotism, making you feel every moment in your heart. Whatever you would have expected from this film, it fulfils more than that. From the very beginning, the movie builds a strong connection with the audience. It doesn’t rush. It lets you absorb the pain, the sacrifice, and the silent strength of its characters. The lead performance carries a certain raw honesty that makes you believe in the journey, not just watch it. What truly stands out is the emotional depth. The film reminds you what it means to stand for your country. Not just in grand heroic acts, but in small, personal sacrifices that often go unnoticed. There are moments where your chest fills with pride, and others where your eyes might quietly well up. There are also som...
