When you have an actress who can go to that extent where you will have to cover things with blurred rectangles, this was supposed to happen. The Sunny Leone starrer Ragini MMS 2 is very much close to a porn film that has horror as theme. The first part of the franchise wasn’t a phenomenal… Continue reading Ragini MMS 2

Lakshmi
Director Nagesh Kukunoor heads back to his successful territory of going after the victory of the helpless people and with Lakshmi he somewhat manages to grab his lost glory. Unlike the director’s other films, Lakshmi treats its content by showing us the rough side of the plot without any cover ups. The story revolves around… Continue reading Lakshmi
Praise The Lord
The film opens to a chaos of technical mistakes starting from the painfully mixed song and a Goa sequence where you can clearly see two Suresh Krishnas. The intention of the makers of Praise the lord is to create some humor on the silver screen with the unique characters they have in the story. But… Continue reading Praise The Lord
Nimirnthu Nil
Nimirnthu Nil directed by Samuthirakani gets derailed because of the confusion in treatment, whether to go commercial or stick to its heart.

But in the second half of the movie the writers take the movie to a different level that is less superficial. With horror being… Continue reading Konthayum Poonoolum
Queen
Sree Devi’s comeback film English Vinglish was a movie that showed the character uplift of a female on a very emotional backdrop. Queen directed by Vikas Bahl is one really hilarious ride that keeps you entertained throughout, and at the same time manages to throw sarcasm on the pseudo modern attitude of many people. With… Continue reading Queen
Gulaab Gang
There is something slightly touching about the climax of the film Gulaab Gang which kind of made me think that how great it would have been if they have empowered the women in the story in a much sensible way than this Dabangg style. Polishing an usual male centred film with some rough attitude dialogues… Continue reading Gulaab Gang
