Aruvi directed by Arun Prabu Purushothaman is simultaneously socio-political, satiric and deeply emotional. Beginning the proceedings in the attire of a thriller, this movie changes its tone consistently and makes sure it has its viewer with it in that smooth transition. With no shades of typical eccentric comedy one sees in Tamil films, Aruvi is… Continue reading Aruvi
Velaikkaran
One thing I can say with confidence is that after stopping the remaking business, Mohan Raja has managed to acquire this ability to create exciting antagonists. Velaikkaran from Mr. Raja is far from being perfect and at the same time has moments that could have been converted in to a more captivating experience. With this… Continue reading Velaikkaran
Tiger Zinda Hai
I was someone who really enjoyed Ek Tha Tiger mainly because of the fact that it stayed close to being a pure action film rather than the conventional Indian way of making it a masala with every emotion. It had all the elements but that film directed by Kabir Khan was more like a Jason… Continue reading Tiger Zinda Hai

The only thing I found as an appreciable… Continue reading Vimaanam

But with the new one titled Aadu 2, Midhun Manuel Thomas manages to control his jokes to an extent, making it a… Continue reading Aadu 2
Mayaanadhi
The nuances of true sensible love we see in real life very rarely get depicted on screen with that sensible amount of sincerity. Movies very seldom try to break those moulds the other films created. Mayaanadhi in my opinion is an exception from all that. This film from Aashiq Abu written by Syam Pushkaran and… Continue reading Mayaanadhi
Masterpiece
The mass masala movies have always evolved over the time. Irupathaam Noottandu, Narasimham, Big B etc. are some of the examples one can show to illustrate the evolution of that genre. What is sad about Mammootty’s new movie Masterpiece is that it is still stuck in a formula that no longer appeals to the audience.… Continue reading Masterpiece
