The premise of the film Rakshadhikari Baiju Oppu has a playground and people surrounding it. The elaborate length of the film may make you think that it is too much, but it is actually a clever move to make us feel closer to that playground and the characters in it. With realistic and humorous conversations… Continue reading Rakshadhikari Baiju Oppu
Sathya
I really don’t know what made AK Saajan and Diphan go ahead with the movie Sathya which looks like an absolute cliché on paper. With a making style that only increases the tacky nature of the movie, Sathya starring Jayaram is beyond boring and at times is a test of patience. Sathya is this man… Continue reading Sathya
Sakhavu
Sakhavu directed by Sidhartha Siva is indeed a commercial film. But the ultimate intention of the film is definitely beyond the mere sensationalism of the inclination of the majority towards the left ideologies. Within a predictable storyline, Sidhartha Siva manages to convey the thought of being a selfless social worker with elements that are necessary… Continue reading Sakhavu
Fast and Furious 8
The second trailer of Fast and Furious 8 (The Fate of the Furious) made me a little uncomfortable when they showed that car set piece in it.

I was curious to know how writer director Ranjith managed to create an interesting story in such a short… Continue reading Puthan Panam
Kaatru Veliyidai
The filmography of Mani Ratnam is such that you as a viewer automatically tend to dwell in to the inner statements of an expression on a character’s face or the composition or framing of a scene. When it comes to his latest movie Kaatru Veliyidai, we do get to experience these elements in Mani Ratnam’s… Continue reading Kaatru Veliyidai
1971 Beyond Borders
After being highly repetitive with his themes, Major Ravi tried something different in Picket 43 by looking at soldiers of both India and Pakistan as human beings who doesn’t really wish to be part of a war. In a way 1971 Beyond Borders is an extension of that thought. But unfortunately this thought is muddled… Continue reading 1971 Beyond Borders
Dora
Dora, starring Nayanthara isn’t devoid of the Tamil movie clichés we see. The main positive factor in this ghost movie is the freshness you see in the back story of the ghost here. That along with Nayanthara getting a lead role with slow motion walks and hero like charm makes this film a watchable one… Continue reading Dora
