Argo is a historical drama thriller based on the book by The U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) centering operative agent Tony Mendez, a.k.a The Master of Disguise. The movie deals with the “Canadian Caper” during the 1980’s Iran Hostage Crisis, in which Tony Mendez rescues six diplomats of the United States, working at the Iran Embassy.
The Movie begins in 1979, when Iranians wreak havoc at The United States Embassy In Tehran, against the United States President order for giving an asylum for then Shah of Iran and take 60 US diplomats as hostages. Of these 6 diplomats manage an escape and take shelter in the home of the then Canadian ambassador to Iranian’s house. No one except the CIA and the Ambassador knows about the six diplomats’ secret stay.
So, back in the United States, Tony Mendez (US CIA specialist), gets to know about the situation. He blatantly rejects all the suggested rescue plans and decides on rescuing the diplomats by the reason for film production. Mendez then contacts John Chambers, the then popular Hollywood artist. They are aided by Lester Siegel where he served as a Producer. They then begin to advertise and publicize the film naming it Argo.

On the contrary in Tehran, the situation grows chaotic as Iranians decide to put down anyone who seemed suspicious making the diplomats more unsettled. That is when Mendez enters Iran, as the film producer with an alter ego. The real questions now here are; How does he face the Iranians? What strategies does he make to get them out of there? Watch it to unveil all the answers.
This movie didn’t deviate much from being historically relatable and it did receive a high critical appreciation for its historical accuracies apart from some parts like the Lester Siegel character, the movie’s name and the flight they escape in which were a part of the director’s creativity.
Ben Affleck who was the Actor, Director and Producer received praise for all his roles. The film indeed also was critically acclaimed for its decent editing and background score. This film received many awards including Seven Nominations at 85th Academy Awards winning Three Including Best Picture for Affleck.

IMDb: 7.4/10
YEAR: 2018
GENRE: Action/Comedy
DIRECTOR: Vasan Bala
CAST: Abhimanyu Dassani, Radhika Madan, Gulshan Devaiah, Mahesh Manjrekar, Jimit Trivedi
RUN TIME: 138 minutes
Available on Netflix
If you are looking for a casual chill watch on a fine Sunday morning (which nearly meets up your every day, now in quarantine) then Mard ko Dard Nahi Hota is just the movie for you. An action-comedy movie which can be called a genre-defining movie in the context of Indian cinema, the movie was rejected by the audience despite being logically correct and staying true to the physics that I and you have read. With all due respect to the masala lovers, if you have gone ahead and tasted a Chinese or an Italian cuisine (which is without masala) then please give this movie a watch.
Studded with great execution of some eccentric characters from not so star-studded an ensemble cast, the chime in the acts of Gulshan Devaiah and debutant Abhimanyu Dasani is worth an applause. A special mention also goes to the performance of Sartaaj Kakkar who plays the childhood of the protagonist. Radhika Madan and Mahesh Manjrekar provide the perfect blend.
The story centers Surya, who is born with a rare disease of Congenital insensitivity to pain i.e. he can’t feel any pain, who grows up fascinating to be like Mani, the karate man (a one-legged local karate champion). How he grows up training secretly with his father wanting him to be a normal guy and finally manages an adventure with karate man along with his childhood love and grandfather to beat his nemesis Jimmy(the twin brother of Mani) is the basis of the plot.
The movie can be compared to a more family going version of Deadpool with hilarious stoppages in the middle of exciting fight sequences and music( by Karan Kulkarni and Dipanjan Guha) which is crazy at least. The film does give hints of it being a derivative of a typical Jackie Chan movie but it does keep its originality intact. Though the editing was impressive the movie restrains from investing much attention to its cinematic brilliance and provides no joy to the eye. Vasan Bala does a pleasing job on the director’s chair and we are thankful to him for not making the screenplay mundane.
For what the movie wanted to represent, it was was a breath of fresh air especially talking of the action industry which has with time become repetitive and stale.
The movie is a must-watch that provides a push to the industry in the right direction demanding attention from the new Indian renaissance audience.
