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
Kunjiramayanam
The makers have clearly spoken out their inspirations for the film through some dialogues. Kunjiramayanam from debutante Basil Joseph is an enjoyable fun film that keeps things lively and humorous for its entire run time. The target was to create a simple fun film with many characters and I believe they have succeeded in achieving… Continue reading Kunjiramayanam
Double Barrel
Two helicopters, six cameras for one shot, five hotshot young heroes, enormous cast, wonderful technicians and all this for an insane creation that has nothing to captivate the audience. Technically the movie Double Barrel has pushed the envelope a lot, but the ultimate product is so shoddy that you tend to forget about the efforts… Continue reading Double Barrel
Jamna Pyari
The formula of making Jamna Pyari is to add some clichés like Kochi Rajavu style heroism along with a pinch of T P Balagopalan M A. For just around two hours of runtime, Jamna Pyari is an unappealing Onam entertainer that tries to follow the safe zone formula of some old masala movies. With the… Continue reading Jamna Pyari
Utopiayile Rajavu
Well the movie will make you realize how good was Mammootty’s Pranchiettan and the saint. Made using a reckless script that desperately tries to be funny, Utopiayile Rajavu from director Kamal is an extremely disappointing movie that fails to be a satire. Swathanthran is the son of a freedom fighter and there is this legal… Continue reading Utopiayile Rajavu
Manjhi The Mountain Man
The story of Dashrath Manjhi is something that should be told through a medium like cinema as the determination the man showed and the problems he had to face were enormous. Director Ketan Mehta has tried to do that in his new movie Manjhi, The mountain man. Even though the film narrates almost all famous… Continue reading Manjhi The Mountain Man
All Is Well
I heard producer Ashvini Yardi claiming in one interview that while making the movie Oh My God, she forced director Umesh Shukla to add an item song featuring Sonakshi Sinha. Looking at the merit of the movie, I did feel that she was saying the truth. But after watching the pathetically written and executed All… Continue reading All Is Well
