Blood sweat tears rain mud suits sunglasses silhouettes and golden hour. What’s not to like. Perfect film for a rainy afternoon like this.

Had two hours to kill while my wife gave her exam. It started raining, so I ducked into an old art deco theatre near her exam centre to watch whatever was playing. Ended up seeing a Hindi dub of this in a packed hall. Completely unserious movie, but it killed time. Just surprised by how much gore Indian censors allow now but they’ll mute a random “bitch”.

The two major set pieces are as great as expected. But everything else just falls flat and is almost hard to sit through. Easily the weakest film in the franchise.

The best one imo. Tom Cruise risking his life and Anil Kapoor risking his reputation.

Just the perfect balance of pulpy, cheesy, thrilling and sunspenseful. DePalma makes every shot so interesting.

Still incredible in the 3rd viewing, even though the awe has faded a bit and even I could see the rough editing in a few places. I think I should have stopped at two as this time it felt like that extra slice of a (delicious) pizza you pick up even though you're full. Still an all timer.

Couldn’t find any good mealtime videos, so ended up watching this over multiple meals with my wife. This film is tied to one of my comfiest childhood memories when I watched it on the big screen after one of the best meals on a hot afternoon with my parents. I still how hot it was and how good it felt stepping into the air conditioned theatre. Just hit the spot after that meal. The film is still very enjoyable mostly because of Akshay Kumar and Badass Ravikumar.

Loved most of it. Just the climax/ending didn’t land for me.

Did not work for me. Felt like a very artificial and sanitized version of Malegaon. The sets make it look like an ad. The carpet background score sounds like it's lifted from one of those Hollywood productions set in India. Also, tired of everyone calling it “well intentioned”. I want to watch a good film not an irable film. I just found the whole thing to be very half hearted.

That said, the performances were a saving grace, especially Vineet Kumar Singh. I wasn’t familiar with Manjiri Pupala’s work before this, but she was fantastic in the few scenes she had.

Fuck it. 5 stars.

Some powerful moments and performances. Reminded me at times of I May Destroy You. But overall it feels like wasted potential. Probably would’ve worked better with fewer episodes. In its current form, it feels overstretched. The creature design didn't work for me, and Rajat Kapoor’s character felt a bit too on the nose. The finale, especially the fight scenes feels clumsy and underwhelming.

That said, one visual that’ll stay with me is them dumping the body in the Yamuna overflowing with chemical foam.

Celebrated our engagement anniversary by ordering junk food and watching this shit on tv.

Fucking beautiful.

Currently on a mission to watch all the garbage films Bollywood churns out during it’s lowest phase ever in order to turn into Rajpal Yadav from Hungama by the end of the year

Beautiful film. Just a neat story, told without any frills with utmost sincerity and precision. I wonder what happened to the JK Simmons character though.

Some solid filmmaking. I feel like Atul Sabharwal has a great film in him he just hasn’t made it yet.

My wife put it on the tv just to the time. I wasn’t planning on watching it but sat down just to see her reaction and make sure that she watched it properly. I still love it. She thought it was okay.

Haven’t seen this again since I watched it the first time when it released. I had loved it then but  my view of it had diminished over the years due to second hand opinions.
Watched on IMAX today. Been having a rough couple of days and needed this. I found the experience to be incredibly powerful and it moved me to tears.
