Maa

F1: The Movie
Language: English (Dubbed in Hindi and other languages)

Jurassic World: Rebirth
Language: English (also in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu)
Genre: Sci-Fi, Action
Starring: Bryce Dallas Howard, Dev Patel
Jurassic World: Rebirth brings dinosaurs back in a fresh way. This time, the story focuses more on survival and suspense rather than just big action scenes. The visuals are top-notch, and fans of the series will enjoy the throwbacks to the original films.
If you have watched Jurassic World movies earlier then you might not find something new, but if you are fan of these franchise or even you haven’t watched any of its movies then you can consider watching this movie. It’s not perfect, but if you like dinosaurs, tension, and adventure, you’ll enjoy this one on the big screen.

Kannappa
