Chunkzz is Omar Lulu’s second film after last year’s sleeper hit Happy Wedding. I personally wasn’t a big fan of that misogynistic film and if you had the same opinion, Chunkzz isn’t the one for you. In fact the jokes and the entire tone of the movie has more anti female propaganda when compared to… Continue reading Chunkzz
Indu Sarkar
It was marketed as a movie based on the emergency that happened in India during 1975. A political stir was there from Congress as they thought it defamed Indira Gandhi and Sanjay Gandhi. The anti Congress politics is there definitely in the narrative. But once you finish the film you would realize it is just… Continue reading Indu Sarkar
Nibunan
Nibunan from director Arun Vaidyanathan is a crime thriller that has its own scattered moments. It is the 150th film of Arjun and to be honest the desperation to make this a tribute to him ends up in awkward outdated moments of heroism. With the standard pattern of serial killer movies getting repeated here Nibunan… Continue reading Nibunan
Mubarakan
Anees Bazmee’s idea of film making seems to be just creating confusions and misunderstandings. The director who has made blockbusters with no brainers yet again tests the patience of his viewers. Unlike his other films, in Mubarakan there is only one guy to lessen the burden for the viewers and that is Mr. Anil Kapoor.… Continue reading Mubarakan

Kadam Kadha directed by Senthil Rajan is another take on that same plot line. Because of the familiarity of the theme and the lack of intrigue in treatment, Kadam Kadha has occasional… Continue reading Kadam Kadha
Lipstick Under My Burkha
In the climax of Alankrita Shrivatava’s Lipstick Under My Burkha, the four leading ladies are talking about how the ability to dream made them suffer badly. It’s a scene crafted through humor and I found it very hard hitting. A film that has boldly spoken against the patriarchal society in a brilliant way facing objection… Continue reading Lipstick Under My Burkha
Munna Michael
There is a small phase in the film Munna Michael where our protagonist and antagonist are sort of bonding. This phase happens in the earlier part of the movie and I kind of hoped things would go interesting. But Sabbir Khan had no different plans this time too. He deviates an interesting plot in to… Continue reading Munna Michael
Team 5
Remember Siva’s story in Bangalore Days? Imagine the worst possible interpretation of that story in to a full length feature film with all the clichés one can imagine and Team 5 will be that movie. Don’t think that it’s a good movie because of the Bangalore Days reference I made, Team 5 belongs to the… Continue reading Team 5
