Welcome to my space. These aren’t reviews but reflections, glimpses of how films make me feel. I write to remember, process, and share with those who hold a quiet spark for cinema. If a film unsettles, questions, or moves, it belongs here. Glad to share this journey with anyone willing to feel. **Rating system:** > **0.5 ⭐**: *Insult to cinema & death of creativity (I wish for your death)* > **1 ⭐:** *Extreme poor writing and lack of basic filmmaking knowledge* > **1.5 ** ⭐: *Congratulations for learning to hold a camera and making the most boring/patronizing plotline* > **2** ⭐: *Basics of filmmaking done right but pretty surface level shit* > **2.5** ⭐: *Average shit, doomscroll level impact OR a failed could've been good project* > **3** ⭐: *A one-time watch worthy, things could've been a whole lot better* > **3.5** ⭐: *Decent cinema, challenges/reveals constructs. * > **4** ⭐: *Enter the territory of brilliance, you have done something out of the ordinary and left a huge long-term impact. Most likely rewatch worthy.* > **4.5 **⭐: *Thank you for the dedication for making something really really great and etching something extraordinary into my core memory. There must have been some little scope of improvement or it could have been more perfect (if that makes senese).* > **5** ⭐: *I owe you a lot for making something so perfect and impactful, it literally couldn't have been more perfect. This film passes the test of time.*

Okay, it got a bit monotonous… but still a decent watch

It's such a low cortisol and warm film which showcases life that we long for : quiet, peaceful life, one where we do things with our own hands: growing and gathering our own food, cooking our meals, eating slowly, and watching the seasons change. There's something deeply grounding about it. The film doesn't have a clear plot just like our life and yet I loved every second of it. Thank goodness I went through the reviews to find out that this film has a sequel, which I missed somehow, maybe because my friend *@shivamaggarwal* suggested to watch and I dived straight to it. Now, I have 2hrs more of low cortisol waiting for me, yay...


Absolute cinema. I don’t think I have seen modern cinema with this scale of cinematography and this immaculate storytelling. It’s amazing when you are already aware of Sir Nolan’s capabilities but are still somehow astonished. This is what an epic mythology like Ramayana and Mahabharat deserves. Watch it in the best possible format available and accessible to you.
