Rogue One
Let me begin with a long disclaimer on my views on the whole Star Wars franchise first, as “Scholars” of the franchise may thrash this review. I never had the opportunity to watch these films in my childhood as this movie was not there in my 16 channel cable TV connection. So I watched the… Continue reading Rogue One
Marupadi
Instead of addressing the issue of harassment against women, the movie Marupadi directed by V M Vinu is somewhat exploiting the contemporary relevance of the theme. Repeating the used out theme of fraud drug case and subsequent struggle with all the clichés and exaggerations of those 80’s films, Marupadi simply doesn’t have the juice in… Continue reading Marupadi

With every character speaking all those printed dialogues and the quintessential thrill not getting created at any point makes… Continue reading Ore Mukham

But looks like director Kalavoor Ravikumar still hasn’t got the fact that it… Continue reading Kuttikalundu Sookshikkuka
Saithan
Most of the films that featured Vijay Antony in the lead role had interesting premises that created curiosity. Even his last film Pichaikkaran created a good impression in the box office and we all saw one of the scenes becoming a hit in the recent past after the demonetization tactics. Coming to the film Saithan,… Continue reading Saithan
