Saurav posted a review for Bharat in Movies
Well let me start by saying that I really don't watch Hindi movies. Now let me also state that movies like this is the reason why I don't watch Hindi movies. The plot was sentimental, emotional one. Created on the most important political stage of this nation- India's independence and the separation of India from Pakistan. In this incredibly stressed time, a boy, named Bharat, living in Pakistan, would try to come to India with his family on a train, but would eventually lose his little sister and his father on the crowded train headed for India. This is all fine. One can make an excellent movie based on this plot. As usual though, this was meant to be a commercial film and boy it was a commercial garbage in every sense of it. I'm not gonna go into much details, simply it's not even worth it to spend my time and write a lengthy review, but let mention the following: Those masala, cheap songs came from nowhere. Be it Disha Patani moving her body in the name of dancing in circus stage to lure the cheap Indian viewers, or later Katrina and Salman's senseless monkey jumping. These songs do not fit, obviously, they don't fit anywhere, but they will keep doing this I suppose, and people like me would keep avoiding these cheap masala movies for these reasons. On acting part- well Salman Khan. Enough said right? This was probably one of his best performance; well everyone has their limit you know? Lol. Katrina was fine (compared to Salman). The boy who did the young Bharat's part, now that was really good acting, even though his on-screen time was not that much. This is another huge problem with Indian movies like this. All these highly paid, top-shot actors not even putting a half-heated effort behind their acting bits. It's like the attitude meh, who cares, people will still watch it and we will still get money, so why bother! This is what differentiates western flims from ours. Even with weak storyline their actors, even the lower paid ones put so much effort behind actual, real acting, that the movies come alive and people like to watch it! In any case, to sum it up, just please don't bother to watch this movie, it's really that bad. It fails on pretty much everything. Keeping aside some humorous dialogues, very few good acting pieces, some really chilling moments (like the train of the dead people), this was a really poor presentation of the plot it was meant to colour, the execution was downright terrible. In one word- Meh! Cheers, Saurav

Saurav posted a review for FIFA 18 in Games
I've been a FIFA player from their FIFA World Cup 1998 PC release. Still recall quite well how you can score a goal from the dead centre of the pitch by pressing and holding D for a certain amount of time, that will never get old; ROFL. Then came FIFA 2002, FIFA 2004 etc. They started to gradually improve on the graphics section, which was much needed as the earlier versions had relatively cartoonish graphics, and also they improved the gameplay as well. The players movements were more real-life like. Which was a really welcoming move. Then came FIFA 2006 and lets forward it till FIFA 2010. All these were pretty solid. In their time, they were on top of their line. I think FIFA 2010 was the most played game for me. Now everything changed since FIFA 2011. This was the first game where they changed the keyboard controls. For all FIFA games till 2010, you could actually play it with keyboard. But with the release of FIFA 2011 they merged the super-sprint on the numpad section of the keyboard, which was impossible to access for us WASD layout players. So the opponent would outrun you quite easily and that would ultimately lead to losing of the games at highest difficulty levels. Nothing you could do to change the keyboard controls, no matter what. Shortly after I stopped playing it, uninstalled the game. EA sports forum said it was time to play the game with a gamepad, as this game is meant to be played with a gamepad. Well, for old PC gamers and purist like us, a gamepad is cancer, we don't touch that childish piece of equipment. Lets fast forward to FIFA 2019 now. Well the keyboard controls have remained the same as it was introduced with FIFA 2011. The players' movement also is completely abnormal. Defence is messed up, you can't even tackle properly any more. In fact, to compare it with 20 year old FIFA 1998, I would rather choose the older game, which had like 10 times poor graphics, but still it was a playable game and had less abnormal player movements. I don't know what has got into EA sports and why they even bother to release the PC versions anymore. If this game is meant for gamepads only, then release the console versions only. Yes, 360 degree movement is not possible on keyboard, but when did the PC gamers complain about that? This game is dead. I have no hope for it. From a very fun game in 1998 to a really competitive and realistic-like game with very good graphics in 2006-2008 and then topping out with the release in 2010, it just started its downward journey from 2011 and with every release since it has been registering a new low; FIFA 19 is the prime example of that new low. Other than excellent graphics, it's one extremely disappointing game for PC purists. They have lost it. Thanks for reading, Cheers, Saurav
