Where other war games such as the Total War Franchise take their gameplay more seriously, Totally Accurate Battle Simulator allows players to have a wonderful mix of war-strategy and creative freedom within its battles. Instead of rowing your boat up the stream why not use it as a weapon to crush your enemies on the battlefield with? This unique, ingenious gameplay has players marveling at their screens. As the battle rages on certain tactics and strategies are brought forth to the players in which could have only been created within their imaginations. The game doesn’t take itself too seriously, and this is clear throughout the fighting in which your armies must reign victorious to progress through the game. Within the mechanics of this game, that doesn’t bother to adhere to regular laws of physics, players find themselves enjoying the action and animations of the two dueling armies perhaps more than the combat itself. Players are given control of some of histories fiercest armies, then are sent off to war. What this game is though, is a highly amusing third person command-warfare game that relies on a more humorous approach to the genre. This game’s title plays more on the irony tone of voice, where the game does entail a highly enjoyable battle simulation style, but in terms of being ‘Totally Accurate’ well that’s up for your own interpretation. Totally Accurate Battle Simulator by its name will have you believing that you are about to play the most accurate war/command simulator game ever created, right? Well yes and no.

Overall, this '2' is a good 'Kaahani' and a great film that falls somewhat short of its predecessor, despite a brilliant first half, because it decides to both show as well as tell, leading to a somewhat underwhelming climax. The child actresses playing 'Minu' are both equally effective, with the younger Naisha Khanna having a slight edge over Tunisha Sharma. Arjun Rampal manages to be easy on the eye and under control as far as his acting is concerned, thanks to a screenplay that ensures he is one of the most balanced characters. Jugal Hansraj (uncle), Tota Roy Chaudhury (lover), Amba Sanyal (grandmother) and Kharaj Mukherjee (inspector) shine in not so large but highly effective / important roles. The directorial prowess of Sujoy Ghosh is displayed effectively yet again, while an effortless Vidya Balan proves why she will continue to remain an actor to watch out for, always. In the process we see actors once again become characters, who are restrained as well as resplendent. Ignoring the convenient consequences of characters interrelated in this slice of 'scary' life tale, it is safe to say that the motives of each and every character, including the minor ones, are superbly drawn out. Because, even though we know that not everything is what it seems, we are also inwardly hoping for things to go the way we expect them to. Yet, it is the relentless journey that glues the various elements of the story by Sujoy Ghosh and Suresh Nair together. Hence, even though it is predictable to an extent, it is also real and grounded at all times, largely due to some excellent production design by Subrata Barik and Kaushik Das. This thus stops one from experiencing the thrill of guessing and / or deducing, and instead makes us take sides and hope for an ending that justifies that action. This isn't a story where one gets to predict or ponder, because for a large part of the film we know who the antagonists are, and what drives them. Clinton Cerejo's background score is dauntless in its effectiveness and acts as a catalyst to the duo's efforts. Like its predecessor, here too the places - Chandannagar, Kalimpong, and Kolkata, end up having identities of their own and almost seem like protagonists in their own right, thanks to sound designer Anirban Sengupta and cinematographer Tapan Basu, who are superb when in comes to turning places cold, menacing, maddening, and authentic, all at the same time, and in succession. Starring Vidya Balan as Vidya Sinha / Durga Rani Singh - a mother in search of her kidnapped daughter Mini / a wanted fugitive, this 'who'dunnit decides to go the 'why' way by focusing on motives and identities (most of them at least), early on, and in detail. Kaahani 2 is a thriller-drama with a strong message, and a story that is in no way connected to Kahaani. 34 inches might sound imposing, but it's not quite as hefty as a 32-inch TV – it's more like a 27-inch screen that's been stretched sideways. It's almost like a two-monitor setup in a single screen, but with just the one stand taking up space on your desktop. That means it offers better-than-4K resolution, and for productivity, this can't be beaten. Oh, and it's ultrawide – can't forget that. On top of that, it supports 98% of the P3 colour gamut, so is an ideal match for the MacBook Pro in that regard too. Its average brightness is close to the MacBook Pro's (450 nits to the MacBook's 500), and it can actually handle HDR video from compatible sources, peaking at 600 nits, which is better than most pro monitors. |
