Action Hero Biju

A ride with a police officer, that’s the tag line of the film Action Hero Biju and it is exactly that. If you are looking for a revenge action “story” movie, this one from Abrid Shine might not work for you, but if you are open to explore a different aspect of policing which we… Continue reading Action Hero Biju

Aranmanai 2

Aranmanai 2 in a way is an insult to the cult Malayalam classic Manichitrathazhu. It is not a rip off of the Fazil movie, but it is like what if they take away the science from the classic and made it as a supernatural ghost movie. Twisting the plot to above mentioned nature, add some… Continue reading Aranmanai 2

Jalam

Well the intention of the movie Jalam may be very sincere, but to be honest this film from the team that created Kanal is pretty dull and can’t really establish any influence in the minds of the audience. It is conceived as an idea to use Cinema as a tool to create a social change… Continue reading Jalam

Saala Khadoos

I haven’t read the book based on which the movie The 5th Wave was made, but even without having any knowledge about the characters, I was able to guess the story line and that according to me is the biggest low point of The 5th Wave. Directed by J Blakeson, this alien invasion story is… Continue reading The 5th Wave

Joy

The ambience of David O Russell’s Joy is much similar to Silver Linings Playbook. But the joy of what happens towards the end is more of a thrilling one in the case of Joy (SLP was more on the feel good side). With Jennifer Lawrence delivering a superb performance as the title protagonist, Joy is… Continue reading Joy

Airlift

Set in the backdrop of the Kuwait war, the latest Akshay Kumar starrer Airlift is a wonderfully crafted movie that depicts the reality of the situation along with genuine patriotism. With the screenplay not wasting a single moment on desperate commercialization, the realistic treatment only got better with that pinch of bollywood formula. Ranjit Katyal,… Continue reading Airlift

The Danish Girl

The character of Gerda Wegner really moved me a lot because of the love she had for her life partner. Based on the life story of Danish painter Einar Wegener, The Danish Girl has that material in it to make you think about the definition of true love that lies beyond mere possessiveness. With Eddie… Continue reading The Danish Girl
