O Pushpa I Hate Tears Movie Review : Lengthy and predictable storyline

Critic's Rating: 1.5/5

STORY: Sparks fly when a young, not-so-rich boy, Aditya (Jayaram Karthik), meets a wealthy girl Pushpa,(Arjumman Mughal), and they fall in love almost instantaneously. The duo gets married soon after, but is this true love or is the chap in it for her money?

REVIEW: Theirs was a whirlwind romance and the much-in-love couple takes the relationship ahead and gets married in no time. All Pushpa wanted was unconditional love and to spend some quality time with her husband, but Aditya is busy managing his business and the extra marital affair with his secretary Tina (Anusmriti Sarkar). To have both money and love in his life, Aditya plans Pushpa’s murder with the help of Shyam (Krishna Abhishek), but soon he realises that Shyam has duped him and is now persuading his wife Pushpa. Amidst all that chaos and commotion, will Aditya finally succeed in executing his plans or will this result in him losing everything in life.

Director Dinkar Kapoor has put in a lot of efforts to make this film a feel-good romcom, but the story's predictability makes it yet another run-of-the-mill take on romance, revenge, betrayal and sex. Also, the lengthy plotline leaves the director with no choice but to repeat some of the scenes and sequences, making it a tedious watch.

Debutant Jayaram Karthik has to brush up on his acting skills as his expressions remain somewhat constant throughout the movie. On the other hand, Arjumman Mughal and Anusmriti Sarkar render the right amount of cinematic support to the actor with some decent performances. Krishna Abhishek has acted well, too, but his punch lines seem to be the recurring theme in this film; no reason to laugh beyond a point. Also, the humour aspect of it looks forced upon, because at times there's no room for fun and goof but the writer incorporates it anyway. As for the music, it is easily forgettable except for the title track -- ‘Pushpa, I hate tears’ -- which is decently peppy.

Needless to say, O Pushpa I Hate Tears will remind one of yesteryear actor Rajesh Khanna’s famous dialogue which the movie's title is inspired from. But, sans that, there isn't much for the viewers... This Pushpa is passable!

Avengers: Endgame Review

Avengers: Endgame is one of the most ambitious, entertaining, emotional, and stunning blockbusters we’ve ever seen, and the best film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe canon thus far.

Over the last 11 years, Marvel Studios has built a franchise unlike anything the movie world has ever seen before. More than just launching an incredible run of multiple series that each center on unique characters and establish their own specific aesthetics, they’ve also maintained an immensely complex continuity that expands with each new story. Every filmmaker who contributes to the universe adds a new piece to the puzzle, carving out something different and diverse that is also crafted to add to the bigger picture.

Within this avengers endgame 123movies there are gradients, and it results in two basic kinds of Marvel Studios films. On one side you have titles like Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Guardians Of The Galaxy, which find their own corner of the expansive world and use that specific real estate for relatively contained storytelling. On the other side there are titles like The Avengers and Captain America: Civil War, which are designed with the entire scope of the franchise in mind, and utilize specific details and elements of the larger continuity to create something both reflective and new.

As tremendous and exceptional as the movies in the former category can be (and that’s pretty extreme), it’s those in the latter that make the Marvel Cinematic Universe truly special. Simply making a cogent and entertaining blockbuster is a ridiculous challenge all by itself, so you’d think that simultaneously incorporating the massive details of multiple other massive films would be practically impossible. And yet, the studio has been successful time and time again.

This brings us to Joe and Anthony Russo’s Avengers: Endgame – a film that has been specifically described over the last four-and-a-half years as the movie that would be the ultimate capstone for the franchise, and exist as the story to which all of the previous 21 chapters have been leading. Obviously that’s an incredible amount of hype, and the end result is that it’s now considered one of the most anticipated releases in history… but what’s even more utterly spectacular is the fact that every ounce of that hype is totally justified.
