Pari starring Anushka Sharma is a horror film that isn’t entirely typical. It’s not devoid of the horror genre clichés like the tricks one use to scare the audience. But the emotional conflict it has got makes it a more interesting movie and even though it has a revenge agenda, it feels like it has… Continue reading Pari
Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety
Whether it is positive or negative, any credible review you read about Luv Ranjan’s new movie Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety would have one word in common; misogyny. Some of the funny lines in the movie and Alok Nath playing a character that have no characteristics of the sort of characters he has played till… Continue reading Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety
Kala Viplavam Pranayam
Last year we witnessed mainly 3 movies that had the main character being a hardcore communist. Prominent writer NS Madhavan called one of it as communist porn. Well I prefer to use that term to describe the quality of the new movie Kala Viplavam Pranayam starring Anson Paul in the main role. The movie is… Continue reading Kala Viplavam Pranayam

The tagline of the movie Kalyanam which marks the debut of veteran actor Mukesh’s son Shravan Mukesh is “a cliche love story”.

The lead actor is struggling to… Continue reading Kalyanam

The way it demolishes the sexism and racism by taking culture along with it is quite a wonderful site. Marvel has managed to restructure the superhero franchise that has been facing the burn out issue… Continue reading Black Panther
Captain
There is no denying in the fact that the earnestness Jayasurya brings in, in his portrayal of a struggling football player is commendable. But debutante director Prajesh Sen’s scripting of Captain, a biopic on Indian football team captain VP Sathyan is focusing too much on the setbacks this man faced, rather than giving equal space… Continue reading Captain
Pad Man
If you look at the template of the last two Akshay Kumar films, both serve as an advertisement for government campaigns. First one Toilet Ek Prem Katha was for Swach Bharath Campaign and this one, Pad man is for the make in India initiative. In comparison with the former, Pad Man directed by Balki has… Continue reading Pad Man
