If you look at the script of the new Rambo movie Rambo: Last Blood, the feel is somewhat generic. But why I found this movie interesting was with the way it sort of gave focus to the vulnerable side of the man who has lived the life of a killing machine. Rambo: Last Blood may […]
The Zoya Factor
There were some Sonam Kapoor movies in the past like Aysha, Bewakoofiyan etc which were all like passable watchable romantic comedies that can’t be called as great films. The new Sonam Kapoor film featuring Dulquer Salmaan as the male lead, The Zoya Factor is a movie that is very much in that zone. I have […]
Kaappaan
In Kaappaan there are moments where you will appreciate the kind of detailing KV Anand gives in the screenplay. But the problematic part of the movie is also the detailing.

If you have a star actor playing a double role of twin brothers, there is a big possibility that filmmakers would go for the most […]
Finals

Brother’s Day
The debut directorial of Kalabhavan Shajon, Brother’s Day is a movie that just goes on and on in an attempt to be a so-called family entertainer. The beginning portions of the movie promised to be an entertainer similar to something like an Amar Akbar Anthony. But when it came to the second half of the movie […]
