For all the "action hard work " and production value put into the movie it feels bad to critique it.
There are numerous shots of Marco and goons smoking cigar . I actually thought the blind guy would be the Marco. But alas !!! Rest you get is high tempo music ...men killing...Marco keeps smoking more ..and finally he becomes the killing machine. Point is as audience we don't feel any fear inducement ...emotions are zero even when a human body decomposes in acid . . I didn't even care to see the major action scene. Omg it's only intermission when I thought the movie would end. All that blood and killing and you don't hate the villain or cry for the hero.

I started the movie and loved the logo derived from the husband-wife producer duo's names in the begining where "Aafreen-kartik" turns into "free art" productions . Also was touched with thanks to everyone , tribute to Kartiks (director's) cousin who had passed away at a young age .
For the first 20 minutes the movie is sweet and funny .
In the serious scene thereafter I loved how her dad reacts shocked into silence and doesn't act all panicky which would be typical.
The lead actress shows a special awareness of her surroundings whenever she gets emotional and curbs her emotion in public and displays embarrassment with stolen glances to make sure people aren't paying attention to her just like a real person would .
The musical genius is that it feels like it was written in the screenplay and doesn't halt the story . It becomes the emotion in the scene and also takes the story forward .
The story telling ..the narrative ..is not a straight line but interwoven with past and present !!!
Where all actors some of them first timers give nuanced performance, where two perspectives get delivered in same screen time, Simply genius !!!
One character is asking the questions as himself yet it seems like audiences question to another character .
Every line is simple yet cinematic ..carries weight carries meaning ..takes the narrative forward..every action has an underlying meaning !!!
Well done!! Hope you make many more !!!!

Scenes from a marriage (hbo max)
Brutal. Wow !! The last time I thought that I saw two people being brutal to each other was Scarlett Johansson in marriage story where in a fit of rage she tell her husband ki tujhey keedey padein aur Tu mar jaye.
Now this series is different. It gets released 1 episode at a time every Sunday 9 pm. I saw the first episode and thought the wife was a bit off and the husband just pretending that "everything was fine " but they talk things out and this "throws" the audience a bit about their relationship status.
The 2nd episode hits you like a speeding truck while you are standing on a highway. When Jessica stops crying we start crying. She starts as a monster and we hate her from the gut of our being but then obviously the writers are top notch here playing with our emotions. It continues to be gut wrenching . Oh boy it's just a story of marriage !!! So powerful.
