Well I belong to that generation of the audience who had a childhood watching The Jungle Book on Doordarshan. So the memories are a little vague, but the nostalgia is quite heavy. It is always a bit difficult to create a movie from a story that we have seen as TV episodes. Jon Favreau who… Continue reading The Jungle Book
Jacobinte Swargarajyam
It is a story based on the life of director Vineeth Sreenivasan’s close friend, so I can’t really say that the story is too much of a fiction. Jacobinte Swargarajyam, the fourth movie from Vineeth Sreenivasan works nicely as a feel good entertainer. It isn’t over the top at any point, but at the same… Continue reading Jacobinte Swargarajyam
King Liar
King Liar celebrates the reunion of the epic combo Siddique- Lal. But the movie doesn’t really generate the feel we expect when both of them combines for a project. The movie does offer you a good amount of humor, but that’s strictly because of the dialogues which were written by Bipin Chandran. With the plot… Continue reading King Liar
Kung Fu Panda 3
I had a really good laugh watching the latest Kung Fu Panda 3. Yes, the story more or less follows the same pattern it followed in the second part, but with humor abundant in its every frame it was absolutely hilarious with all those spoofing of typical on screen proceedings. There isn’t a dull moment… Continue reading Kung Fu Panda 3
Ki And Ka

But Ki And Ka drops suddenly after a point and becomes underwhelming on the whole. The movie begins nicely (excluding the opening… Continue reading Ki And Ka
Thozha
Based on the 2011 French film The Intouchables, Thozha from director Vamsi Paidipally is a mixed bag that on the whole is a pleasing one as it doesn’t try to make situations that much complicated emotionally. The filmy selfless heroism is definitely cheesy and at times looks too much, but the less exaggerated characterization and… Continue reading Thozha
Kali
Barring the awkwardness of Sai Pallavi’s Malayalam, Kali is a fair enough movie that had the scope to be a really daring attempt, but may be because of the burden of expectations they decided not to go for the risky part and make it a more commercially appealing, yet realistic cinema with elements of fun… Continue reading Kali
Rocky Handsome
As I have not seen the movie based on which Rocky Handsome was made, there won’t be any comparisons in this review. Nishikant Kamath after the much acclaimed Drishyam remake joins hands with his other remake “Force” star John Abraham for this new movie called Rocky Handsome and to be very honest it looks like… Continue reading Rocky Handsome
