It’s the technical front that is noteworthy rather than the creativity. All of the battling scenes, lying in wait, gun-fire, fisticuffs, and sniper shots are real and does not need any VFX. If closing your eyes, you can possibly feel like you’re on the battlefield with the sounds of weapons, bullets and the whispering of comrades.

Kabir Singh movie review

What makes Kabir Singh a must watch is a rousing performance from Shahid Kapoor and also the fact that how it deals with modern relationships, heartbreak and melancholy that a broken heart sparks off. On the flipside of it is the exhausting length of the film along with an excess of cumbersome elements to the storyline which detract from the core love story.

Movie review:

Continuing the success of Baaghi, Baaghi 2 attracts all fans of action movies the day it was released.

The undeniable chemistry between Disha Patani and Tiger Shroff is also a bonus point contributing to the success of Baaghi 2.

Race 3 movie review:

Despite the appearance of big names in the Bollywood industry, Race 3 doesn’t show its supposed A-list excellence but a recycle bin of chasing scenes and explosions. Too many redundant slo-mo and wilted lines have ruined the performance of veteran actors. However, it’s still a worth watch if you are die-hard fans of Salman Khan or Anil Kapoor.

Starbiz rating: 2 stars

Race 3 movie download will be updated soon.

#3. Thugs Of Hindostan - ₹335 crore

Synopsis: Ameer Ali with his gang was notorious thugs posing challenges to British Empire in Indian subcontinent aka Hindostan from 1790 to 1805.

Main cast: Amitabh Bachchan, Aamir Khan, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Katrina Kaif

Thugs Of Hindostan movie review:

With the ambition making an Indian version of Pirates Of The Caribbean, Thugs of Hindostan gathers big names in the entertainment industry and somehow get the audience involved in thrilling adventurous experiences. However, narration and visual effects of the film has nothing special, if not tedious. This clearly make fans feel off mood while watching this movie.

Starbiz rating: 2.5 stars

Thugs of Hindostan movie download will be updated soon.

#2. Padmaavat - ₹585 crore

Main cast: Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone, Shahid Kapoor

Padmaavat movie review:

Compliments on Raveer, Deepika and Kapoor’s performance are redundant as they already prove their talents through years, but watching Padmaavat you will no longer remember their names as they are absolutely immersed in the movie characters. The film is an exhibition by director Bhansali, which you will savor every scene it portrays.

Starbiz rating: 4 stars

Padmaavat movie download available in the link.

#1. Sanju - ₹586.85 crore

Synopsis: Sanjay Dutt was born in an East Indian family of cinematic legends. Inherited those talents, he soon collects huge success, but this fact comes with numerous negative temptations as well. Addicted with drugs, arrested for bombing involvement, Sanjay Dutt life goes ups and downs with so many one-off events that a movie can’t even depict fully.

Main cast: Ranbir Kapoor, Vicky Kaushal, Paresh Rawal, Manisha Koirala, Sonam Kapoor, Dia Mirza, Jim Sarbh, Anushka Sharma

Sanju movie review:

Sanju is an excellent work from either director or actors. While the director sophisticatedly managed to change many people’s belief about Sanjay Dutt, Ranbir Kapoor totally engages the audience with his performance. From body movement, language to the eyes, Ranbir’s work deserves to be put in textbook in acting schools, as Paresh Rawal commented.

Starbiz rating: 4.5 stars

Sanju movie download available in the link.
