Friday Night Movie Review - Shimla Mirchi
Hello everyone,
I am back again with a review of another movie. I am done with spreading awareness about Covid-19. I mean what is the point when the people even after knowing the risks are still hanging out in groups and goes for an evening walk. Its pathetic situation every other day an ambulance pulls up in front of our society and then 4 people get down in biohazard suits and take away a person. You know what... Never mind.
Unlike the movie that I’ve seen the real-life is frustrating. And that doesn’t make the movie any better. Case in point Shimla Mirchi.
SPOILER: EVEN I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO MAKE OF THIS MOVIE. IT IS JUST ANOTHER BOLLYWOOD ROMANCE-DRAMA MOVIE.
This movie stars Rajkummar Rao (one of the few from the Bollywood whom I like), alongside Rakul Preet Singh & Hema Malini.
Before I jump in a little background on the audience. I didn’t know this movie existed. And when my wife was browsing through the Netflix she found out this one and saved it for a later day. And finally, the day came. We watched it together. While she was all excited about the movie, I was busy pointing out why the Lead’s love interest’s plan of opening a restaurant is brilliant but the execution is a failure. And I kept pestering her till I met with glaring eye contact and me losing my bowl of Murukku sticks and a ‘Please shut up and watch’.
This is the love story of Avinash (Rajkummar Rao) who has trouble expressing feelings to the lady. And he fell for Naina (Rakul Preet Singh) as beautiful as always and her acting is.. well... she is beautiful. Naina wants to open a cafe. And she is constantly in trouble with the contractor. (Well, of course, you will have trouble if you are so obsessed about the decoration rather than the operational challenge. Who am I to suggest? My restaurant is yet to take shape. It is still a silly dream of mine. BTW this is where I lost the snacks). Moving on, Avinash joined a waiter (I really don’t know if the waiter is the correct word) in the Naina’s cafe, to get close to her. He writes a lovely letter as anonymous to her. Naina gives the letter to her mother (Hema Malini) with the intention of this might cheer her up. As her mother is already dealing with the depressing life with a broken marriage. Confusion ensued and the mother develops feeling towards Avinash assuming that he secretly admires her. And all this leads up for a final Bollywood style confrontation between Naina and Avinash. When I say Bollywood I mean cheesy, forced, and awkward.
This is not a bad movie. This isn’t a good movie either. Rajkummar manages his side of acting I will the others were real too. And it is not their fault. Probably the direction. Wait let’s look him up and found the problem. He is the legendary director who directed one of the Bollywood Top 10 films of all time “Sholay (1975)”, Which has a legacy of its own. You can smell the scent of yesteryears from this movie. Even though it was released just Feb this year. It gives the feels of 90’s. With the forced drama and situation.
Like I said this is not a bad movie, Unlike the few others that left my soul in pain. It is just a harmless boring movie. I don’t have any more words to say about this movie. And honestly, I lost a lot of interest as I lost those murukkus.
I think I should watch some other movies to cancel the cumulative effect that these Bollywood movies may have.
I am Inuke,
And I don't know why I watched it.
I don't know much about filmmaking. I learned most of the stuff about filmmaking from the internet. I am no expert. And all the remarks made are my personal opinion. Also, @vincentnijman is the person who dragged me to this side of the film so if there is anything blame him ;-)

You can't just blame Cinvent, you're the silly bugger who puts yourself through these things ;D
Are you actually supposed to be in lockdown over there or are you just "self isolating"? When we were self isolating the guidelines were we could still go out for "solitary exercise" (but people living in the same house could go as a group) and to maintain 1.5-3m (the numbers kept varying like noo one could make up their minds at that point) from other people/groups that you might encounter also doing solitary exercise.
Actually, @vincentnijman's the one who pushed me into movies. You know whats the first-ever suggestion by him? Troll2. I had to search for that movie everywhere even the torrents were not available. So to compensate I watched Trolls. And I kinda liked it.
Hahaha.
We are in lockdown. In my locality, there is a restriction on the travel beyond 2km. You need to have a permit stating the business.
I feel bad about Priya. She hasn't left the apartment since March01. I imposed the lockdown even before the govt on her. Things are getting even worse. It has been raining continuously, everything is cold. (Sigh)
Now imagine being locked in a room with me for months. Yikes. Even I wouldn't want to be locked in with me. XD
Haha okay we'll blame Cinvent then ;D
My friend, I know your kidding but I'm gonna say it anyway:
I never told you to keep watching crappy movies and write about them.
It sure seems like you love to torture yourself.
Not just with movies but also with isolation.
Seriously buddy, it's about time you join the Natural Medicine Community and Discord. Perhaps the alternative views out there will make you change your mind and make you stop believing in all the fear that the media and governments around the world are feeding us.
Sorry but I have to say this. I can't stand it when healthy young people make themselves unhealthy by buying all this cr*p. Just like my brother but at least he still goes out daily I believe.
Do you seriously think that locking yourself ( and your wife ) up in your house is a healthy thing? What a first year of marriage...
Please get some fresh air soon, rain or not, even if it's just for short walks.
Health is everything and living like a rat in a cage makes nobody healthier.
P.S. sorry for speaking the honest truth on your timeline, that is what friends are for ( sometimes ).
That is well-wishing and that is what friends are for. (Always)
Don't worry my friend. We are safe. The thing is we are currently in a very populace area. And I think the best way is to stay indoors and ride this one out. Because face mask and PPE can do that much.
As for staying healthy, we are trying new things. All thanks to @priyanukesh I am getting good food and a nice time. As for physical exercise, I still have to plan something. ;-)
Take care man.
And don't this lazy-ass is keeping his mind sharp thanks to a certain chess person from Portugal. ;-)
I get your point. I sometimes forget that we're living in a different world. The contrast between where you're at and where I am is as big as it can be.
I tend to think that face masks make us less healthy, as we recycle our waste products. How can that be healthy?
Good to hear you're trying new things and at least you're getting some brain exercise ( thanks to our chess games ), even if your body is turning into a plant / tree.
Give my regards and a hug to your wife from me! ✨
