The success of URI, the 2019 Adithya Dhar movie starring Vicky Kaushal, had made way for many hyper-nationalistic movies that initially tasted success. But eventually, they all faced rejection from the audience as they realized that the makers were just milking the sentiments.

Am Ah Review | A Dull Character Study Disguised as a Thriller
Am Ah from director Thomas Sebastian, who previously made movies like Maya Bazar, Jamna Pyari, etc., has this core idea of following motherly emotions.

When the true intentions of the story are revealed to us, it becomes this… Continue reading Am Ah Review | A Dull Character Study Disguised as a Thriller
Anpodu Kanmani Review | A Simplistic Film That Feels Like a Spiritual Spin-off of “Vishesham”

Emergency Review | Creating the Illusion of a Glorifying Biopic by Focusing Solely on the Flaws
Emergency was indeed a dark chapter in the history of democratic India, which even the Congress Party members have admitted as a mistake later. The new movie starring Kangana Ranaut, produced and directed by Ranaut herself, Emergency, on paper looks like a great opportunity to present a grey-shaded iconic political leader.

Pravinkoodu Shappu Review | An Appealing Cat-And-Mouse Thriller That Misses Out on the Climactic High
