On a one liner level Praana is a movie that should be made by film makers to voice their opinion against the ongoing intolerance towards writers and artists. There is no question of whether a movie which addresses that particular aspect of this social evil should be made or not. But the problem with this …
Neeyum Njanum from A K Sajan suffers from having a scattered agenda and tiring length. A very basic love story sort of gets dragged into a moral policing vs. trust kind of scenario and even though some of the comedy bits might make you giggle a bit, there isn’t much of a feel factor here …

Karthik Subbaraj is one guy who openly admitted that he liked Lingaa, one of the worst Rajinikanth films in the recent past. That sort of shows how big a fan he is of the stylish super star and a talent like him collaborating with Rajinikanth obviously gave me hope as it may give an end …
