Dhadak

When Sairat directed by Nagraj Manjlule ends, the pain it creates in your heart is humongous. And the reason why that movie was able to make us feel that pain was its deep-rooted characters and the way it utilized its elaborate length of nearly three hours to show us the struggle of the couple. What… Continue reading Dhadak

Tamizh Padam 2

When a movie gets a sequel, the most important thing the makers have to make sure is that it should be bigger at least in the creative sense. What CS Amudhan has managed to do with Tamizh Padam 2 is somewhat that. Continuing from where he left off in the last film, the director spoofs everything… Continue reading Tamizh Padam 2

Savaari

In a recent conversation, Nawazuddin Siddiqui has said one thing that nowadays people tend to call some movies as good, simply because those movies had good performances.

Kadaikutty Singam starring Karthi is one such film where director Pandiraj applies that formula and somehow ends up with a product that is less chaotic when compared to a Hari movie. With all the farmer pleasing… Continue reading Kadaikutty Singam

Koode

Koode from Anjali Menon is a heartwarming tale about the relationship between a brother and sister.  It is based on the story of Marathi filmmaker Sachin Kundalkar’s movie happy journey. I haven’t tried to watch that movie to stay away from any possible spoilers, so this review won’t be a comparison note. Just like any… Continue reading Koode

Ant-Man and the Wasp

Ant-Man sort of falls in the category of a funny superhero (based on the movie and his role in MCU, please don’t overwhelm me with your comic book encyclopedia). Marvel has shaped that character in a way where you won’t expect any big political statement sort of thing from an Ant-Man film. The new one… Continue reading Ant-Man and the Wasp
