The film is a sincere homage to India's generosity and humanity, as it shows how the country supported the oppressed people of East Pakistan and stood up for justice. The film also explores the bond between the siblings, who have different personalities and opinions, but share a common love for their nation. The film does not shy away from depicting the horrors of war, but also balances it with moments of humor and emotion.
The film's strength lies in its performances, especially by Ishaan Khatter, who delivers a convincing and charismatic portrayal of Captain Mehta. He shows his range as an actor, as he switches from being a carefree and impulsive youth to a mature and responsible leader. Priyanshu Painyuli and Mrunal Thakur also shine in their roles, as they bring depth and nuance to their characters. The supporting cast, including Soni Razdan, Inaamulhaq, and Leysan Karimova, also do a commendable job.
The film's weakness, however, is its uneven pacing and lack of clarity in some scenes. The film sometimes feels rushed and disjointed, as it jumps from one event to another without much explanation or transition. The film also suffers from some poor visual effects and editing, which take away from the realism and impact of the war scenes. The film could have benefited from a tighter script and a more coherent direction.
Overall, Pippa is a film that deserves to be watched for its honest and heartfelt tribute to India's war heroes and its message of peace and harmony. The film has its flaws, but it also has its moments of brilliance and inspiration. The film is a fitting celebration of the 50th anniversary of the 1971 war and the birth of Bangladesh. I would rate it 6.3 out of 10 stars.

Beast is a movie that tries to be many things at once: a spy thriller, a comedy, a romance, and a social commentary. It has some entertaining moments, but also suffers from a weak plot, poor logic, and clichéd characters .
The movie has some positives: the action scenes are well-choreographed and thrilling, the music by Anirudh Ravichander is catchy and energetic, and the cinematography by Manoj Paramahamsa is sleek and stylish. Vijay delivers a charismatic performance as Veera, showing his versatility and charm. Pooja Hegde is also impressive as Preethi, bringing some freshness and humor to the movie. Selvaraghavan plays the main antagonist, Umar Saif, with menace and intensity.
However, the movie also has many negatives: the plot is predictable and full of loopholes, the logic is flawed and inconsistent, and the characters are stereotypical and underdeveloped. The movie tries to tackle serious issues like terrorism, corruption, and communalism, but does so in a superficial and insensitive manner. The movie also relies on outdated tropes like hero worship, misogyny, and nationalism. The comedy is often forced and cringeworthy, and the romance is cheesy and unrealistic. The movie also drags on for too long, with unnecessary songs and subplots.
Overall, Beast is a movie that fails to live up to its potential. It is a typical masala entertainer that appeals to the fans of Vijay, but does not offer much for the discerning audience. It is a movie that could have been better if it had focused on one genre and one theme, rather than trying to be everything for everyone. I would rate it 5 out of 10 stars.
