Starfish

Pathetic acting and story line. No idea why this movie has a rating of 8.3. Based on thought of watching the movie, but please do not waste your time, even if you have ample to waste.

I was waiting throughout the movie, to have a twist and turn or something that's worth a good rating. But I was disappointed to the core.

I was fed up to see the actress giving up at every possible situation. Everytime the actress dives to save someone, ends up someone else saving her.

The lady simply gets married and has kid, even after being so messed up.

It is not a emotional or romantic movie. It is just a irritating movie.

Starfish review :

Based on Bina Nayak's book Starfish Pickle, this two hours long movie turns out to be a royal bore. Beware guys as it can genuinely lull even insomniacs in to a deep snore...sorry to say but Starfish goes astray despite quite a few positives up its sleeve.

Like the exotic locales of Malta and Sicily (Italy) which are beautifully captured here! The underwater sequences are also wonderfully shot which reminded me of one more Bollywood biggie called Blue (2009). Unfortunately just like Blue, Starfish rests on a wafer thin plot which just doesn't go anywhere. After all, how many times can you watch the voluptuous Khushalii Kumar drinking like a fish, doing drugs and partying hard like there's no tomorrow. Glug glug!!

Khushalii Kumar was impressive in last years Dhokha Round D Corner and in Starfish too, she displays adequate acting chops coupled with her abundant sex appeal quite effectively. Kudos to that!!

I was actually expecting some hot chemistry between the macho Milind Soman and Khushalii but just as they come close to kiss, the director shifts focus away from them. Oooff, that's sacrilege!! As for those two (supposed) hunky heroes who get lucky with the leading lady, the less said the better!!

To sum up, Khushalii soars but Starfish drowns...

Don't get carried away with high ratings. They come mostly from Indian users. We could call it something like the "Indian public lobby", again generating false expectations.

Almost all of them rate this movie with 10 points, do they really think it is on a par with Titanic, The Revenant or Forrest Gump?

That aside, Starfish has a noble intention in the message of its story. The protagonist is a beautiful diving professional who seems to have the world at her feet because of her beauty, but deep down she carries a huge emotional and psychological backpack. As a result, Starfish does a good job of showing this protagonist's weaknesses and more emotional downfalls, as she goes on an increasingly desperate quest to heal herself and her past.

Now for the bad. Overall, all the performances. Always over the top, exaggerated, not in keeping with the deep existential drama that the script wants to tell. Sometimes, the mix with comedy and music only serves to numb the senses and increase the disinterest in the main story.

And the link with the depth of the ocean and the underwater world only serves as a barely cosmetic context.

The quick happy ending ends up being, in reality, a sad and abrupt consolation for the viewer who resisted the almost 2 and a half hours of an afternoon soap opera turned into a movie.

Starfish is an absolute cinematic gem that deserves every bit of praise it receives. This visually stunning masterpiece takes storytelling to new heights, blending breathtaking visuals with a gripping narrative that keeps you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. The film's special effects are nothing short of mesmerizing, transporting the audience to otherworldly realms with seamless precision. The attention to detail in the CGI work is unparalleled, creating a vivid and immersive experience that stays with you long after the credits roll. What truly sets "Starfish" apart, however, is its brilliant cast. The performances are nothing short of stellar, with each actor bringing depth and authenticity to their characters. The chemistry on screen is palpable, enhancing the emotional resonance of the story. The character development is expertly crafted, allowing the audience to connect on a profound level.

Waste of resources and waste of time. If you have so much money, kindly give it to me. I'll make a better film than this. It's a migraine. No story, no talent with 10% potential. The director has made a mess. It looks like they've gone on a holiday and made this film. Watch if you want to waste your time. T-Series has produced this film, and there's not even one good song in the entire movie. At least for your family members (Khushhali Kumar), kindly make a good film and get a good composer next time. Khushhali Kumar's acting is very bad. Limited star cast, and they all are bad. It looks like black money; they wanted to turn it white, so they made this garbage called "Starfish."
