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
Apothecary
Madhav Ramadasan’s previous flick Melvilasam was an extremely good cinema that used the drama and emotions to a great level which took the viewer to that atmosphere and think from the characters perspective. In comparison to that cinema, the director hasn’t reached that level of intensification. But with very socially relevant subject dipped in a… Continue reading Apothecary
Jigarthanda
Jigarthanda directed by Karthik Subbaraj is a mix of good inspirations. The young director has adapted the style of Quentin Tarantino to depict the humor within the violence and the story reminded me of Malayalam hits Best Actor and Udayananu Thaaram (bowfinger) at many occasions. But with a treatment that we are not used to… Continue reading Jigarthanda
Hercules
When compared to the other Hercules flicks which released in the recent past, the Dwayne Johnson version of the movie is much more entertaining. Even though it slips in to that dark shades which doesn’t work much on the half God half Human side of the mighty man, the kind of fun it gives the… Continue reading Hercules
Avatharam
Avatharam directed by veteran film maker Joshiy is a time travelling experience. A story that can be considered as a castle of cliche is made in a ridiculously funny way and the kind of fun it offers is from the audience comments rather than the film’s irritating content. Except for the good cinematography and fairly… Continue reading Avatharam
Manglish
It’s a very typical Mammootty film that I believe matches with the expectations of fans of the star rather than the admirers of the actor. Manglish directed by Salam Bappu won’t bore you and it won’t make you excited. With some slick dialog humor in the narrative, Manglish is a onetime watch. Malik Bhai is… Continue reading Manglish
Hi I’m Tony
When the script becomes weak, there will be a tendency from people to slam the entire film. Jean Paul Lal / Lal Jr’s second film Hi I’m Tony falls into this category. I do agree that the content didn’t worked for me as a nail biting thriller, but the uncompromised making that had some incredibly… Continue reading Hi I’m Tony
Kick
Well after watching the latest Salman Khan film kick, directed by producer turned director Sajid Nadiadwala I really felt that he should have directed most of the sloppy comedies he produced. The version of Kick I have seen prior to this Bollywood one was the Tamil version starring Jayam Ravi directed by M Raja. Without… Continue reading Kick
