    It Ends With Us is a book I read recently. It's by the author Colleen Hoare. It's mainly a story about two teenagers, Atlas and Lily, and how they just handle their life going through high school, adolescence, and just domestic violence at home. Both of them come from very, very different families. However, they have one common determining factor between them, which is domestic violence. The abuse that they've seen their moms go through is just insane, and they connect through that on a different level. They're actually in the same high school, but they never speak to each other until Atlas actually crashes into an empty house next to Lily's villa. When Atlas is homeless and he doesn't have anywhere to go, he just comes and breaks into the house next to Lily's, and Lily helps him with all the daily necessities like clothes and food, medicines and stuff. Furthermore, their friendship blossoms into love, but it doesn't really fructify as Atlas has to leave. This book really gave me a lot of knowledge about domestic abuse and how to deal with it.

    So, this movie is called Emma. It was directed by Oscar de Veldt and I watched it in around 2016 like alone on this bed through illegal streaming websites of course because I'm broke. So, what happened was like this is actually adapted from a novel written by Jane Austen herself and trust me it was hilarious and part where the woman says the house is just the same color as the staircase that just made me laugh and the colors, the colors are absolutely hilarious and of course Anya Taylor-Joye just makes everything come more into emotion and light and there's of course Mia Gough. She's also another beautiful actress and I just love her work and there's other people. The side cast was really, really talented I would say and I dare say that it was much better than Sense and Sensibility.

    I would think it is better to say a Tamil film that I have watched in my 6th standard. I would like to watch the film with my family and some relatives too. The genre of the movie was comedy and it has a lot of comedy actors. It includes so many comedy actors in Tamil. The movie name is Kala Halapattu and it is a well-known Tamil movie. In my hometown, it was very successful in theatres as well as on TV platforms. The movie has a simple story with beautiful sights and sounds. But the comedy of the movie has a tremendous role to increase the publicity. My family members and relatives including me laughed very much. I think most of the characters in this movie are made for comedy. This movie is mainly concerned about comedy rather than emotional or crime drama. I also prefer comedy movies so I like this movie very much. The old characters are still remaining in my mind. I remember I watched it 2-3 times more with my friends too. They also liked it. This movie is well made for laughing purpose. It has a strong story but it is going through comedy. As a person, I didn't get bored while watching this movie. It is smoothly engaging the topic as well as the comedy actors made the role perfect.

    So, I watched a movie called Dictator. It is a parody movie of a dictator who is ruling his country. And this movie is so, so good in comedy. Like, every moment of the movie there is an unexpected turn and the person who is watching me die out of laughter. And this movie I watched alone because my elder brother suggested me to watch it because in my college time I was really stressed about my grades and academic performance. So, I am not able to concentrate on my studies and stay stressed all the day. So, he suggested me to watch a comedy movie to lighten up my mood. So, he suggested me to watch Dictator. So, when I started to watch Dictator, it was not that interesting at first because it is a collector development and I was not giving a focus on the movie and I was thinking about the stuff that stressed me a lot. And eventually, I loved to see the movie and after some time I will focus on the movie and after the interval eventually I get hooked with the movie and the comedy is so perfect. Like, every time I see it, I wake up out of laughter, a loud smile. And after, at the end it was the funniest part of the movie where the main character of the movie displays his power in a comedy way. And it is the very best hilarious movie of my life and I want to suggest to everyone to see when you are struggling with your life and you have to find a way to get out of that situation. So, probably watch this movie, it will really help you.

    So the one film that made me laugh till I had tears in my eyes was actually Dhamal. Now this film stars Tushar Kapoor, Ritesh Deshmukh and two other actors I can't remember the names of. So this film starts with a plot wherein these four people are friends, these four protagonists of the movie are friends and they always get in trouble with a certain police officer because they don't earn money and then they try to make amends by doing borderline criminal things and that gets them in trouble with a police man. And later they find out that there are 10 crore rupees hidden somewhere and all five of them including the police officer, they go on a quest to find that money and it's a very funny movie. So I watched it on TV on Sony Max channel when I was in 6th grade and I watched it with my family and I remember all four of us were laughing out loud throughout the movie, alright. We were rolling on the floor and we were laughing hysterically throughout the movie and I feel it was one of the best family bonding experiences that we had together as all four of us.

    I like movies from a very young age. I grew up watching many movies and web series etc. But one specific movie which play a significant role in comedy industry and make me laugh as well is Hangover Part 1. It was a part of a trilogy movie series of Hangover which is released in around 2005. It has three main characters which are old friends. One of them was getting married at that time. So they all plan to go to a bachelor party in Las Vegas at that time. But the upcoming scenarios and situations make the movies very hilarious. Because one of them in the midnight went missing. And when two of them wake up on the next morning, they found that their friend was not at their house. Then they start a search mission for their friend. And furthermore, they find out that they had a tiger in their room. And all the stuff is messed up and there is a hooker in the room as well. Then they start memorizing their past that what had happened last night. But they couldn't help themselves because they had no memory of past night. Then they start fighting people, taking bullets and all the drama goes through. Yeah, this was it.

    One film that made me laugh endlessly is the Bollywood comedy movie Three Idiots. It's all about three friends, two of whom follow their passion. Not great. Hilarious scenes and witty dialogue throughout. I laughed because the humor was relatable and clean. No vulgarity. The actor's timing was perfect too. Overall, Three Idiots is a hilarious film. I recommend everyone. And I watched that movie with my husband when I was in the year 2013. I loved that movie.

    I watched a film named Three Idiots that made me a good laugh my heart out and giving a reality check of the society as well. I watched it with my parents and many years are back but still it is green in my mind. Moreover, rather than being on a comedic side, it is giving a reality check on what goes in the mind of a student, how pressurized their mind is, how stressed their mind is. So combining that intrude serious topic with comedy was a great fun to watch and definitely giving a sit back to the students who are under stressed or parents who stress their kids a lot, pressurize them for the higher studies, not following their aim, just doing the job and earning bread and butter rather than following their passion. It was a good check.

    And that's a funny topic to talk about, but the film that has recently made me laugh a lot is Housefull 5, and as the name suggests, it's the fifth sequel of the Housefull series. It's a bit embarrassing for me to admit this, and I probably won't be admitting this to anybody outside this room, but it is not rated very greatly, and it can also be called a little bit cringe at a few points, but I feel that the overall plot of the movie which revolves around the mystery of a murder has complemented perfectly with the comedic characters that are put into the movie. There are three different people who are imitating as the same person, and in the middle of this is trying to inherit the wealth of someone who has just died recently, and in the middle of this, there is a murder on a yacht, and all the three people who are imitating and acting as the person are the culprits for the murder. So the drama between the police and all the people that were present on the yacht and the three conmen has, I feel, supplemented towards the laughter and, in general, contributed towards a very nice plot, and it is a movie I think I can watch

    I would like to discuss about a movie called Spree. It is a Bollywood horror comedy movie and I watched this with my family in a nearby theatre around 2 years back alongside with my family. I visited a nearby theatre and the story is based on a village ghost which was very fantastic. I think the story was about how the village ghost used to take people without clothes and make them naked and take away from them. It was very funny, hilarious, amazing and it had a good laugh.
