The biggest challenge for director Boban Samuel’s new film Happy Journey is the fact that 1983 is still running in the theaters. Its not that both the films are exactly the same, but the sports and inspiration factor that exists in both the films bring on the comparison meter. The idea of Happy Journey is… Continue reading Happy Journey

Idhu Kathirvelan kadhal
Plastic romance and unreal emotions embedded in lame story – that’s Idhu Kathirvelan kadhal for you. The director’s ultimate aim is to advise the younger generation to be more concerned about their parents rather than their romance; but with an expressionless hero and amateur story, the movie is just a dull product. Kathirvelan is the… Continue reading Idhu Kathirvelan kadhal
RoboCop
The movie RoboCop focuses largely on the personal side of the character rather than the heroic image. If they were able to connect that episode effectively with the machine life of our central protagonist, movie would have definitely scored. But RoboCop ended up as an average product which just want to set the stage for… Continue reading RoboCop
Gunday
The performance of the leading actors is the main thing that saves the movie Gunday from being a yawning experience. Idea of the movie doesn’t have much novelty to claim as it simply repeats the used out divide and rule thriller pattern involving police and baddies in a slightly funky way. The story revolves around… Continue reading Gunday

If having some social commitment in the script is enough to please you, this film may well be… Continue reading Pakida
Salaam Kashmir
Salaam Kashmir was there in the news for the continuous postponement of its release and you can’t really blame the audience if they became skeptical about the movie. After watching Salaam Kashmir you are not going to believe all those technical reasons they said. A mediocre script filled with awkward explanations and reasoning that will at times make… Continue reading Salaam Kashmir
Balyakalasakhi
Balyakalasakhi as a book is indeed a classic but in the form of a cinema it hasn’t reached that stature. The scope of making this story to an eternal love story on silver screen is a difficult task (my personal opinion after reading the book) and the new comer Pramod Payyannur has managed to do… Continue reading Balyakalasakhi
Hasee Toh Phasee
The USP of the new Bollywood rom-com Hasee Toh Phasee is without any doubt the captivating performance of the leading lady Parineeti Chopra. Her portrayal of the slightly geeky and weirdly eccentric character is so good that the performance itself adds an additional dosage of freshness to the film. Fizzling considerably towards its end, Hasee… Continue reading Hasee Toh Phasee
