Sui Dhaaga, Sharat Khatariya’s third film after Dum Laga Ke Haisha, is based on a template generic script. You can sense a lot of patterns in the scripting that we have seen in films about entrepreneurs. But despite all those seemingly negative things I loved the film because of its earnestness. Sui Dhaaga isn’t novel… Continue reading Sui Dhaaga
Lilli
Lilli directed by Prasobh Vijayan isn’t a perfect movie as some aspects of its weakness are strikingly visible. But as an experimental movie that tries to traverse in a different track without being conventional by any means, Lilli is an extremely impressive creation. Building intrigue is the key to approaching the climax of this movie… Continue reading Lilli
Chalakkudikkan Changathi
Chalakkudikkan Changathi is the biographical movie directed by Vinayan based on the life of Kalabhavan Mani. So when anyone approaches a biopic as a viewer, there is a sense of curiosity to know more about the person about whom the movie is talking about. I personally don’t think that Kalabhavan Mani is a less familiar… Continue reading Chalakkudikkan Changathi
Chekka Chivantha Vaanam
Chekka Chivantha Vaanam is ace director Mani Ratnam’s interpretation of Francis Ford Coppola’s Godfather movies. If any of you have seen the Godfather series, especially part 1 and 2, you would know how integral were the back stories and deep subplots in establishing the mood of the movie. The obvious loss of depth is definitely… Continue reading Chekka Chivantha Vaanam
The Equalizer 2
The Equalizer starring Denzel Washington was a typical action flick that sort of worked as an entertainer because of its slickness. One major plus point of that movie was the fact that it had a compact script that lingered around one particular incident. When it comes to the sequel The Equalizer 2, there is this… Continue reading The Equalizer 2
Batti Gul Meter Chalu
Batti Gul Meter Chalu is the second film of director Shree Narayan Singh who once again unites with writer duo Sidhartha – Garima after Toilet Ek Prem Katha. Coming to the movie, this one is also built using the same mold of Toilet of being a deliberate message movie. Cinematically or creatively there is hardly… Continue reading Batti Gul Meter Chalu
Saamy 2
The creativity part in Saamy 2 (also known as Saamy Square) is so damn pathetic that you might end up appreciating its mediocre climax that is slightly better than the rest of the movie. Boleros are flying, logic was dying and you will wonder what the hell is happening and then the reality that this… Continue reading Saamy 2
Mangalyam Thanthunanena
There is a climax conversation between Roy and Clara in Mangalyam Thanthunanena which even though predictable had a fine grace to its credit. My problem with the movie was that it reaches this climax after going through a lot of unappealing incidents and subplots making the climax look too alienated from the narrative we see… Continue reading Mangalyam Thanthunanena
