I found Iru Mugan really funny for its lazy scripting style. Tamil Cinema always had this obsession towards sci-fi subjects and yet again the lack of a pan global outlook and the really naïve way of depicting events makes this movie largely a laughable one for its on screen seriousness. Except for that dark knight… Continue reading Iru Mugan
Oozham
Prior to the release of the film Oozham, director Jeethu Joseph was constantly trying to reduce the hype by saying it is not a suspense thriller, but a revenge drama. It was a good strategy considering the fact that the movie had moments of excitement soaked in surprising twists. Made on a tried and tested… Continue reading Oozham
Oppam
Crime thrillers are supposed to be nail-biting with clinical perfection in detailing along with something that makes the movie qualify for being called as a unique one. The plot of Oppam which has a blind man in search of a murderer indeed is an exciting one. But with plot elements and the whole screenplay having… Continue reading Oppam
Akira
Remember Prithviraj’s Puthiyamugham? Akira’s format and packaging somewhere reminded me of that movie. It is the remake of the 2011 Tamil movie Mouna Guru, with a difference of making the central protagonist a female. The boldness Murugadoss has shown in coming up with such a positive decision has to be appreciated, but he hasn’t completely… Continue reading Akira
Popcorn
Popcorn directed by Aneesh Upasana has a really directionless script. I remember seeing a promotional post in the official page of the movie saying, after NPCB here comes one more road movie. A total of 10 minutes shots showing the characters travelling in various vehicles don’t really make a movie worthy of being called a… Continue reading Popcorn
Mechanic Resurrection
The latest Jason Statham movie Mechanic Resurrection is like an amateur compilation of most of Statham’s hero centric films. Coming as a sequel to the 2011 movie The Mechanic, this one has no real juice in the story and ultimately it’s the old school formula of kidnap, blackmail and revenge. The developments in Mechanic Resurrection… Continue reading Mechanic Resurrection
A Flying Jatt
A Flying Jatt directed by choreographer turned director Remo D’Souza is a funny film in my opinion. Not just because it has certain moments of actual comedy, but even when it tries to be serious you somewhere giggle a bit at the lameness of the narrative. With all the clichés in the world about a… Continue reading A Flying Jatt
Pinneyum
Well he is a legendary director and this was my first experience of watching an Adoor Gopalakrishnan movie from a theater. Pinneyum directed by Adoor Gopalakrishna with Dileep and Kavya Madhavan in the lead role is a very poorly executed movie. The movie perhaps has the most awkward dialogue delivery in the recent past and… Continue reading Pinneyum
