What is so fabulous about Todd Phillips’ Joker is how immersive it is as a cinematic experience. A character like Joker is always a fascinating character that will make you wonder how someone becomes as intimidating like that. Joker is doing exactly and precisely that. It focuses sharply on Arthur’s headspace. Our right and wrong,… Continue reading Joker
War
There is an over the top way of storytelling that has always been there in YRF’s biggies. Dhoom 3, Thugs of Hindostan, Tashan etc were phenomenal examples for how badly they executed interesting (borrowed) ideas. Siddharth Anand is the man who famously Indianized Knight and Day with tacky execution of imaginations. So War, which marks… Continue reading War
Namma Veettu Pillai
Kadaikutty Singam that came last year from Pandiraj was a massive commercial success despite being an extremely old school family drama. I personally haven’t enjoyed that film at all and for me, Namma Veettu Pillai from Pandiraj was just one more Xerox copy of Kadaikutty Singam. With so many characters and cheesy melodrama happening frequently… Continue reading Namma Veettu Pillai
Manoharam
Manoharam directed by Anvar Sadik is a template feel-good movie that has an extremely predictable script with only one major difference; the backdrop. The movie’s running time is around 122 minutes and thus this movie never becomes a burden for the viewer. With too much of guessable turn of events in the screenplay, Manoharam is… Continue reading Manoharam
Ganagandharvan
The first half of the movie Ganagandharvan is a very usual tale of miseries of a middle-class guy. If you are someone who feels that Ramesh Pisharody’s last film Panchavarnathatha was an enjoyable film, the chances of you enjoying the first half is pretty high. But in the second half, the movie enters a very… Continue reading Ganagandharvan
Rambo: Last Blood
If you look at the script of the new Rambo movie Rambo: Last Blood, the feel is somewhat generic. But why I found this movie interesting was with the way it sort of gave focus to the vulnerable side of the man who has lived the life of a killing machine. Rambo: Last Blood may… Continue reading Rambo: Last Blood
The Zoya Factor
There were some Sonam Kapoor movies in the past like Aysha, Bewakoofiyan etc which were all like passable watchable romantic comedies that can’t be called as great films. The new Sonam Kapoor film featuring Dulquer Salmaan as the male lead, The Zoya Factor is a movie that is very much in that zone. I have… Continue reading The Zoya Factor
Kaappaan
In Kaappaan there are moments where you will appreciate the kind of detailing KV Anand gives in the screenplay. But the problematic part of the movie is also the detailing. It goes to such levels at times making me wonder whether that was detailing or simply spoon-feeding. Kaappaan is a typical KV Anand movie that… Continue reading Kaappaan
