On a very basic level, Anil Radhakrishnan Menon’s Lord Livingstone 7000 Kandi is a low budget wannabe “Avatar”. The idea was to inspire us to fight for the nature. The director may not have succeeded in creating that feel, but from the making perspective, Mr. Menon has really pushed the envelope to create something visually… Continue reading Lord Livingstone 7000 Kandi
Amar Akbar Anthony
Expectations weren’t that high about Nadirshah’s debut venture as a director, Amar Akbar Anthony as the trailers and teasers looked like something very typical and outdated.

Publicized as a musical film, Saigal Padukayanu has… Continue reading Saigal Padukayanu
