Four film makers, four films and four having totally different backdrops and emotions. The bollywood tribute to the Indian Cinema’s 100 year celebrations, Bombay Talkies is indeed a beautiful collaboration of various tastes and is thoroughly enjoyable for its simplicity, boldness and humor. After English Vinglish, this was one movie where I could smile throughout.… Continue reading Bombay Talkies
Shootout At Wadala
Shootout At Wadala is an interesting content spoiled by cliché style of scripting and unnecessary addition of commercial masala. The movie based on real characters just doesn’t have much realism to make us feel for the characters or at least think from their perspective. With stylish cinematography and powerful supporting cast, it’s an average action… Continue reading Shootout At Wadala
Hotel California
If you are someone who just can’t tolerate a movie like Trivandrum Lodge, then Hotel California may not be the right choice for you. Well the smallest description for Hotel California is that it’s the nonsense fun version of Trivandrum Lodge. The content will remind you about those old Priyadarshan comedies and a few new… Continue reading Hotel California
Mumbai Police
Aamir Khan’s Talaash was one movie that disappoints you at some pivotal areas but when you rewind the entire content, everything in it makes sense. In the case of director Rosshan Andrrews’ latest movie Mumbai Police, it took almost a day (my bad) for me to sync in all those minute details Bobby and Sanjay… Continue reading Mumbai Police
Akam
The unconventional off beat style used for AKAM is not something new for us. But the question I found asking myself is how appropriate that style was to this kind of a theme. Based on Malayattoor Ramakrishnan’ famous work “Yakshi”, this film from Shalini Usha Nair is something that lacks clarity. The vague memories of… Continue reading Akam
August Club
Something difficult to convey is conveyed in a somewhat convincing way. That’s what I felt about director K B Venu’s August Club starring Rima Kallingal, Murali Gopi and Praveen Anidil. A theme that typically goes to steamy scenes and severe drama has been rendered in a better way. The plot here revolves around Savithri, who… Continue reading August Club
Iron Man 3
At an instant in the film, Tony Stark says it’s going to be plain old fashioned revenge and the movie Iron Man 3 is a kickass piece of work that is made on this simple idea. Honestly this is one of the coolest super hero movies I have seen in the recent past and by… Continue reading Iron Man 3
Aashiqui 2
The lesser amount of melodrama is something that will surely please you in director Mohit Suri’s latest venture Aashiqui 2. With a smart first half and a cliché second half that depends a lot on the predictable elements which we are used to, Aashiqui 2 is an average movie which will definitely please you if… Continue reading Aashiqui 2
