Hold Up!

๐ŸŽฌ I'm NOT your casual movie reviewer!

I don't do plot overviews or safe, spoiler-free summaries. For that stuff, there's Wikipedia.

What I DO: I share my raw, unfiltered experience and thoughts on movies and TV shows. That means MAJOR SPOILERS could hit you in the very first line of any review.

I talk about films the way you'd chat with a friend who's already seen them. No dancing around plot points. No vague hints. Just honest, spoiler-filled conversation.

You've been warned. Now let's have a real talk about movies! ๐Ÿฟ

Freddy's Movie Review
***SPOILER ALERT***

Improvised Chaos at the Pool


FREDDY:
(DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED IT) When the camera follows Hrundi on the pool scene and shows you that there is a guy waiting for his turn to play, and the look Hrundi gives the guy, oh man, that was something! This is definitely my favorite scene.
hrundi learns how pool works

Slapstick for the 60s


FREDDY:
By now, I've seen too much slapstick comedy and guys doing Indian accents to laugh out loud at this one, but overall, I think this is a really great comedy for the 60's. It's not like I have seen many comedies from that period, so, do you know of a must-watch?
hrundi breaks his diet

When The Elephant Arrives


FREDDY:
When the elephant got to the party, I was tired and bored of the party, so I decided to leave. A movie by Peter Sellers that I am a big fan is Being There (click here) and check that one out, that one is truly unique.

Thank you Bahar for this suggestion.
do not paint the elephant please

Freddy's Score

50/100
