Its a political thriller that lacks thrill and fire. Directed by Kareem, Parayan Bakki Vechathu is just a repeat telecast of many films we have seen in the past that includes the corruption and hidden agendas of bureaucrats and political parties.

Ettekaal Second
For those of you who have abused me for many reviews which were pathetic in your view, I have a happy news for you.

Shaadi Ke Side Effects scores with its casting, entertains with its humor and fizzles with its reasoning.

The Monuments Men
The Monuments Men which has George Clooney wearing the director’s cap can be called as a defective sleeping pill. Because this pill/ cinema cant make you sleep but will definitely make you yawn quite a lot. More than Clooney’s direction, it is the sloppy script that makes this “based on a true story” enterprise a… Continue reading The Monuments Men
Highway
Recently in a chat show Anurag Kashyap said what he envy the most in Imtiaz Ali’s films is the romance that he creates on celluloid. Along with a delightful romance, Imtiaz has smartly included his way of reacting to certain ideologies and issues to make his new film Highway an enjoyable and memorable movie. The… Continue reading Highway
