The beginning and the ending of the movie The Greatest Showman has some fabulously well choreographed musical set pieces with lyrics that have energy and inspiration to its credit. But this story about PT Barnum that happens in between these isn’t really that inspiring. The hurried narrative takes away the charm considerably from this film.… Continue reading The Greatest Showman
Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle
When you have Jack Black and Kevin Hart portraying 2 important characters in a story about a four member gang, the fun factor will be definitely there. Jumanji: Welcome to the jungle is that package. It has hilarious moments powered by the performance of its actors and you don’t tend to be that bothered about… Continue reading Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle
Aruvi
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

Most of them were flops on an acceptance level… Continue reading Aana Alaralodalaral
Vimaanam
Vimaanam is what you get when you try to dilute a nice and simple real life story into an extremely melodramatic unreal love story. With dialogues that have sickening amount of melodrama taking away the charm, this predictable story is neither inspiring nor moving on any level. The only thing I found as an appreciable… Continue reading Vimaanam
Aadu 2
When compared to the first part, this second outing of Shaji Pappan and gang is much better. The main error with Aadu Oru Bheekara Jeeviyanu was that it was an overdone nonsense comedy. 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
