When compared to the recently released set of Macha-Macha comedy movies in Tamil, Rajini Murugan directed by Ponram is a much better entertainer. If you go and check the sensibility of situations and the logic in them, the film won’t please you. But for an audience who are just looking for wit elements along with… Continue reading Rajini Murugan
Tharai Thappattai
The real stars of director Bala’s Tharai Thappattai are Varalaxmi Sarathkumar and R K Suresh. Bala’s signature style character molding was there in Tharai Thappattai, but unfortunately the story that narrates the miserable life of the backward classes isn’t that emotionally captivating. Sannasi has this group of dancers and musicians who performs at festivals to… Continue reading Tharai Thappattai
Kathakali
Kathakali is an attempt to cater the typical Tamil mass masala formula of the common man becoming a revenge thirsty superman by having a slightly different treatment. Pandiraj’s effort to make this sort of action genre that adapts style from movies like Madras and Vishal’s own Pandiya Naadu to keep the tension in the real… Continue reading Kathakali
Maalgudy Days
I have no clue why director Siddique compared this film with Bharathan’s Malootty. Maalgudy Days is a movie that has a very petty script that fails to engage you. The based on a true story part has little to do with the movie’s content (As they clearly stated it at the end). With child actors… Continue reading Maalgudy Days
Wazir
By the time the movie reached its second half, I sort of felt a disappointment as things looked too easy and guessable. But to my surprise, in the last five minutes Wazir creates a climax that justifies the chess factor and the sort of intentional predictability in the writing. Narrated with his signature roughness, Wazir… Continue reading Wazir
Style
Ever wished to see a Malayalam film that looks like a typical Telugu masala heroism movie? (I never wished for that). Then Style directed by Binu S is that attempt. The ad caption of the film was that it is the first cliché film of 2016, well I would say it is the first Malayalam… Continue reading Style
Point Break
An FBI agent investigating about the motive of some criminals who improvises really crazy for their mysterious mission and the officer finally becoming a part of it looks absolutely cool as a one liner and I firmly believe that it was what made the 1991 version of Point Break a likeable entertainer. When it happens… Continue reading Point Break
Bhooloham
Bhooloham, the much delayed release of Jayam Ravi has a very delicate base. The idea of the film is to let the people know how commercialization and corporate companies have managed to rule our minds and tastes, but with a preachy fragile plot, the movie only works occasionally that too mainly because of certain entertainment… Continue reading Bhooloham
