A Walk Among the Tombstones

It’s one more psycho killer thriller movie and this time we have the quintessential solo kidnapper snatcher Liam Neeson doing the leading character. A walk among the tombstones is that slow thriller with fair amount of freshness and a treatment that has shown violence in an atrocious way. The story is about Matthew Scudder, who… Continue reading A Walk Among the Tombstones

Khoobsurat

There is nothing really unpredictable about the storyline of Khoobsurat starring Sonam Kapoor and Fawad Khan. But still as an entertaining humorous rom-com the film works for you beyond your expectation. With a deliberate attempt to keep the atmosphere positive, romantic and cheerful Khoobsurat has done justice to its name. Khoobsurat shows us the events… Continue reading Khoobsurat

Daawat-e-Ishq

There is always a common man factor in every Habib Faisal script which helps the movie to sync in with the middle class audience as it doesn’t have the usual million dollar sets and all. After discussing so many socially significant things successfully and unsuccessfully, Habib Faisal has now taken the issue of dowry and… Continue reading Daawat-e-Ishq

Njaan

If Munnariyippu was an intriguingly intellectual film, Njaan from director Ranjith is a less charismatic intellectual debate that got overloaded by an individual’s non social emotions. Well I haven’t read the written version of this movie by Mr. T P Rajeevan. Ranjith has tried to create a character named Ravi to narrate the relevance of… Continue reading Njaan

Sigaram Thodu

Sigaram Thodu from director Gaurav is decent entertainer that has almost all the flavors of an engaging Tamil entertainer with ups and downs. While the thriller part of the movie will please you with its making, some of the sloppy appa-pullai melodrama will not impress you that much. The story is about Muralipandiyan, a young… Continue reading Sigaram Thodu

Finding Fanny

Towards the end of the movie, the things happening to the character played by Pankaj Kapur is brutal. But the funny part is that you will find it absolutely hilarious. Finding Fanny from director Homi Adajania is that satirical take on a subject films have discussed a lot, that is to speak out your feelings… Continue reading Finding Fanny

Mary Kom

In our country where women gets lesser share of lime light, the story of a boxer like Mary Kom who had to fight with life to achieve her goal deserves to be made on the celluloid. They haven’t really claimed it as a biopic of the legendry boxer, it is a dramatized story of the… Continue reading Mary Kom

Villali Veeran

I don’t really understand the agenda of the film makers to keep repeating the same formula on actor Dileep. In the climax of the film Villali Veeran you have a hero fighting against his villains and in the same building where commandos are fighting against the terrorists. Nonsense mixed with sentiments and some dialogue humor… Continue reading Villali Veeran
