I happened to see this beautifully pitched emotional movie on father-son relationship “Ottayaal Paatha” as part of KIFF (Kozhikode International Film Festival). With almost zero gimmicks of an offbeat film, directors Santosh Babusenan and Satish Babusenan gives life to a heartening story of a lively bond between a father and son. Akhil is this engineering… Continue reading Ottayaal Paatha – The Narrow Path
Ezra
I have to say that the first half of the movie Ezra is crafted very smartly packaging it with typical horror movie ingredients plus a conflict that is genuinely fresh. The impression the movie manages to create through it is a positive one. But the film fumbles considerably in the second half, especially towards the… Continue reading Ezra
Singam 3
It seems like Hari took Sampoornesh Babu’s Singam 123 as a very serious entertainer. Singam 3 aka Si 3 from Hari, his third outing in the franchise with Suriya is funny to be honest. There is a scene where our hero gets blocked by the Australian police at the airport and to convince them to… Continue reading Singam 3
Fukri
The story of the film Fukri has nothing really fresh to offer to its audience. But the two and a half hour long movie has enough humor in almost all the scenes and you won’t feel bored. Some of you may feel that the jokes are slightly excessive, but still I would say that it… Continue reading Fukri
Bogan
When compared to the last fantasy genre Jayam Ravi tried (Miruthan) and the lackluster debut movie of director Lakshman (Romeo Juliet), Bogan is definitely a better movie. Every entertainer Tamil movie has this constrains of depicting certain portions in certain way and those clichés clearly drag Bogan backwards. With a terrific Arvind Swamy and an… Continue reading Bogan
Kaabil
We all knew what the entire story was from the two trailers of Kaabil. May be even Sanjay Gupta knew the fact that nobody is going to praise the story of Kaabil when it gets released. To be fair, on paper Kaabil is very much an average material as it is that same old common… Continue reading Kaabil
Raees
The creative edge and the commercial disadvantage of Raees is that it is a gangster film with a relatively sensible amount of realism to its credit. The mould of the story is pretty much in the same space of the 80’s Salim-Javed films. But the timely change in the presentation of drama and the way… Continue reading Raees
Munthirivallikal Thalirkkumbol
The relationship of parents can have an influence on the life of kids as they are seeing almost every aspect of that bond. Jibu Jacob’s new directorial venture Munthirivallikal Thalirkkumbol is an elaborate lecture on that aspect of life. While the main agenda is to establish this message, the movie lingers way too much on… Continue reading Munthirivallikal Thalirkkumbol
