There is an ongoing debate about whether there is a notion among people that only realistic cinema is considered as good cinema as almost all the well-accepted movies followed that treatment in the recent past. Even though you can’t call Porinju Mariam Jose as a novel idea, one of the main takeaways for me after… Continue reading Porinju Mariam Jose
Comali
The one-liner concept of the idea of a guy waking up from coma after 16 years and not being able to cope with the technological advancement is indeed a fascinating thought.

Even though things are somewhat predictable,… Continue reading Ambili
Nerkonda Paarvai
In Pink when Deepak Sehgal shows Rajveer Singh a photo of Rajveer’s sister Rajveer threatens Sehgal in a lower voice saying you don’t know who you are messing with.
