Kari

Kari is solid black humor that teases the current society in every bit of its running time. The naturally rendered sequences are soaked with elements of certain laughable and dangerous mindsets of the human beings. The focus of the film is primarily on the caste system that prevails even in the current so called progressive… Continue reading Kari

My God

If they had taken a basic workshop on films for the children from Mr. Amole Gupte (creative director of TZP and director of movies like Stanley Ka Dabba and Hawa Hawai), either they would have improved this movie or they would have dropped the idea. My God from M Mohanan is one movie that has… Continue reading My God

Rockstar

The idea in the beginning seemed like an outspoken presentation of the freedom youth are looking forward to see in these days. But unfortunately because of overall mediocrity, Rockstar from director V K Prakash is pretty shallow and borrows too much from the urban rom coms that we see in Bollywood these days. With a… Continue reading Rockstar

Even after having the aid of some superb technical backup, Anarkali from Sachy can’t really establish itself as an eternal tale. With equal weightage… Continue reading Anarkali

Ottaal

Ottaal is very much that considerably compromised art house film which emphasize on a particular idea without the verbal explanation. The success of the movie is actually in creating that emotional suffocation in our mind seeing that lonely hopeful child. With a casting that couldn’t create a charm on screen, Ottaal is a haunting tale… Continue reading Ottaal

Ben

Coming from Vipin Atley, the man who wrote the torrent blockbuster Homely Meals, Ben in terms of story idea is very much similar to its competitor Salt Mango Tree. The difference is in the treatment. While Salt Mango Tree went for the humorous parent perspective, Ben focuses more on the melodramatic child perspective. With scattered… Continue reading Ben
