I don’t really know the exact definition of the so called mass films and I believe everyone have their own version of its definition. Directed by debutant Ajai Vasudev, RajadhiRaja starring megastar Mammootty is packaged very nicely as a festival entertainer. It’s true that it has all the clichés we have seen in some films… Continue reading RajadhiRaja
Peruchazhi
In the beginning of the film, they have asked the audience to switch off their mobile phone and logic. However, asking us to imagine USA as a glorified Kerala was something that was beyond the territory of “switching off logic “. With only dialogue humor working out in scattered portions, Peruchazhi from director Arun Vaidyanathan… Continue reading Peruchazhi
John Paul Vaathil Thurakkunnu
It is the state committee meeting of emotionless actors and certain makers who are stuck in the past. John Paul Vaathil Thurakkunnu from director Chandrahasan is a great example of shoddy film making. There isn’t a single scene that makes an impression on the viewer and by the time you finish it you will definitely… Continue reading John Paul Vaathil Thurakkunnu
Mardaani
Except for that poorly edited climax fight (which would have made the film a totally overwhelming one if executed perfectly), Mardaani from Pradeep Sarkar is a really good cinema that solely focuses on a contemporary issue without any sort of sloppy preaching. With realistic visualisations and sensible characterizations supported by well written dialogues, Mardaani definitely… Continue reading Mardaani
Munnariyippu
There is a scene in the film Munnariyippu where our central protagonist C K Raghavan explains his philosophy or I should rather say his perspective about independence. To enjoy this film to its best, I think everyone should focus on the depth of that definition. Munnariyippu is a brilliantly scripted film that discusses a story… Continue reading Munnariyippu
Anjaan
Anjaan from director Lingusamy is a film that becomes a dull entertainer because of it’s extremely clichéd making. Lingusamy who is well known for creating spark among the audience with his treatment on very simple stories, fails to create that magic here and Anjaan becomes a below average entertainer. Raju Bhai is a Don in… Continue reading Anjaan
Guardians of the Galaxy
Guardians of the Galaxy from Marvel is a damn good fun ride that makes you laugh out loud with that humorous treatment which we have seen in recent Marvel films like Avengers and Iron Man 3. They have lessened the typical things we are used to in a super hero film and thus this fresh… Continue reading Guardians of the Galaxy
Njan Steve Lopez
The last time I felt a similar disappointment was when I saw the Hindi movie Rock star. The kind of comments that came from the audience after watching Njan Steve Lopez made me realize how badly the “entertainers” have damaged the brains of the common man. For those who like to indulge in cinema, Njan… Continue reading Njan Steve Lopez
