Missing Girl Review | A Lot More Than a Girl Is Missing From This Movie

My expectations were spectacularly low for the movie Missing Girl, as the film’s trailer clearly showed the amateurishness in the making. Compared to what they made me anticipate from the film, I would say the actual film looked better. Having said that, the film is still one lazy and sloppy work with nothing new to… Continue reading Missing Girl Review | A Lot More Than a Girl Is Missing From This Movie

Live Review | A Bland Rhetoric About Bad Journalism

TRP-seeking journalism and its demonic side is like an everyday phenomenon these days, and there is no question about whether a movie like Live is really needed. The film Live, directed by VK Prakash and written by Suresh Babu, is a very filmy and slightly exaggerated criticism of the unethical journalism prevalent in our country.… Continue reading Live Review | A Bland Rhetoric About Bad Journalism

Thrishanku Review | A Wannabe Priyadarshan Comedy That Never Really Took Off

One of the major problems I immediately sensed about the movie Thrishanku was how its trailer was cut. They revealed the plot in the trailer itself, and hence sitting through the initial 30 minutes of this 110 minutes long film felt a bit awkward as I found myself trying to act like I was surprised.… Continue reading Thrishanku Review | A Wannabe Priyadarshan Comedy That Never Really Took Off

Jackson Bazaar Youth Review | An Over-The-Top Visaranai With Some Commendable Performances

The shortest possible review for the new film Jackson Bazaar Youth directed by Shamal Sulaiman, would be, what if Shankar directed Visaranai. The graph of this film is a constantly fluctuating one that starts off as a very political film and ends up looking like a customized justice thriller. While the police brutality aspect in… Continue reading Jackson Bazaar Youth Review | An Over-The-Top Visaranai With Some Commendable Performances

Charles Enterprises Review | A Wannabe Divine Comedy With a Stretched-Out Script

When the whole story is built on a frail platform, making the audience excited about it becomes challenging. The issue with Charles Enterprises, directed by Subhash Lalitha Subrahmanian, is pretty much the same. He wants to tell a story about a young man who is struggling financially to set up his own endeavor. But the… Continue reading Charles Enterprises Review | A Wannabe Divine Comedy With a Stretched-Out Script

Janaki Jaane Review | Weak Conflict With Outdated Writing Tropes Derails an Interesting Idea

The germ of the idea behind the film Janaki Jaane is pretty interesting. It talks about the hardships of a woman with this panicking disorder whenever she is alone or in the dark. But the issue with this film, directed by Aniesh Upaasana, is that it has very old tools to develop that idea into… Continue reading Janaki Jaane Review | Weak Conflict With Outdated Writing Tropes Derails an Interesting Idea

Neymar Review | Pet Sentiments and Climax Heroics Save This Unsurprising Comedy

When you look at the first half of the film Neymar directed by Sudhi Maddison, you tend to have the least expectations about watching a good movie. The first half gives the impression that they have introduced the dog into the film more like an excuse to make a movie out of a common thread.… Continue reading Neymar Review | Pet Sentiments and Climax Heroics Save This Unsurprising Comedy

Anuragam Review | This Romantic Comedy Is a Cringe-Heavy Collage of Cliches

There was an entire row of audience who got free tickets for the movie Anuragam (I knew it because they had to send a selfie to someone as proof they watched the film). In the middle of the second half, one of them said this movie might have worked if it had been released in… Continue reading Anuragam Review | This Romantic Comedy Is a Cringe-Heavy Collage of Cliches
