It is apparently a real life story that happened at the top of the world in 1996. There is little drama you can add to such an incident and even within that limitations Everest works for the audience quiet emotionally. With almost 90% of the movie entirely invested in visualizing the toughness of the mountain… Continue reading Everest
Hero
Well the only actor in the movie Hero who might have felt that I have made a mark for myself in the film would be Vivan Bhatena who portrayed the role of the negative guy with a good on screen charm. The Jackie Shroff version of Hero is one movie you will feel like a… Continue reading Hero
Yatchan
The slight amount of quirkiness in the treatment that doesn’t go for the usual heroism stuff, helps the new Vishnuvardhan movie Yatchan in being lively for its two and a half hour duration. But the kind of predictability and the not so convincing super natural elements makes the movie a watchable average entertainer. Chinna is… Continue reading Yatchan
Welcome Back
Nana Patekar, Naseeruddin Shah, Paresh Rawal, Anil Kapoor and Dimple Kapadia.

If we had a dangling house in the climax of welcome in 2007, 8 years later… Continue reading Welcome Back

The Transporter Refueled starring the relatively unknown Ed Skrein is a dull film that has a few ultra slow motion and CGI generated set pieces to keep you just away… Continue reading The Transporter Refueled
Paayum Puli
Suseenthiran is known for creating intriguing thrillers that somewhat utilizes the emotional outbreak of his characters (except for Rajapattai). Paayum Puli, his new film with Vishal after the impressive Pandiya naadu is an overall good film that borrows a bit from Suseenthiran’s other movies of similar genre. With the second half cocktail having a good mix… Continue reading Paayum Puli
Phantom
D Day from Nikhil Adwani and Baby from Neeraj Pandey are the two ambitious and successful movies that were made on the premises of various terror attacks India had to face. Kabir Khan’s new movie Phantom starring Saif Ali Khan and Katrina Kaif, tries to follow the same pattern but the kind unconvincing series of… Continue reading Phantom
Thani Oruvan
It has exaggerations, it has clichés, but the beauty of remake man M Raja’s Thani Oruvan lies in the fact that it has solid antagonist and the ultimate theme runs on an idea rather than a deterministic heroism. With plot never deviating to anything unnecessary, Thani Oruvan is an impressive thriller with solid performances. Mithiran… Continue reading Thani Oruvan
