I remember watching the movie Deep Impact on television long back and it was my first experience of watching that kind of science fiction disaster film. The film blew my mind at that time and later I realized that there were a lot of other films including the very popular Armageddon from destruction man Michael… Continue reading Geostorm

Viswa Vikhyatharaya Payyanmar
Viswa Vikhyatharaya Payyanmar is the name of the movie and I am still trying to figure out the reason why the writer director of the film named it like that. It’s about a bunch of boys who aren’t doing much with their lives. What is annoying about this movie is the script which looks like… Continue reading Viswa Vikhyatharaya Payyanmar
Villain
Villain from B Unnikrishnan is a movie that tries to be intellectual and sophisticated in its presentation. But the film isn’t really trying anything beyond the existing template. More than the content, it is the quality technical backup this film has makes it look like an okay film. With Mohanlal delivering a good performance as… Continue reading Villain
Aakashamittayee
The intention and the message the film Aakashamittayee is trying to convey is obviously genuine. But it is the extremely unreal making that makes this movie an underwhelming experience. The theme here is very much similar to the Hindi film Taare Zameen Par which urges parents to look for the talent in kids rather than… Continue reading Aakashamittayee

Golmaal franchise which now seems like the NREGS equivalent for actors like Arshad Warsi, Kunal Khemu, Shreyas Talpade and Tushar Kapoor,… Continue reading Golmaal Again
Secret Superstar
When I saw the trailer of the film Secret Superstar, my first impression was that this could be the music version of Nagesh Kukunoor’s cricket oriented inspiring tale Iqbal. Even though the premise seemed slightly similar, the film here is aiming something beyond the usual chase your dreams thought. Addressing the issue of male dominancy… Continue reading Secret Superstar
Mersal
Tamil Cinema and Tamilnadu politics are pretty interconnected. The heroes there pitch their political stand through the character they play and that’s why we have seen many heroes playing the same old savior of the public kind of roles in all the main stream masala films. Mersal directed by Atlee also falls in the same… Continue reading Mersal
The Foreigner
The new Jackie Chan movie The Foreigner is a movie that is built on a platform that is quite familiar. At one point the movie even reminded me of Neeraj Pandey’s A Wednesday. Drifting away from the core and lingering on the uninteresting part of the proceedings, this Martin Campbell movie was a dull experience… Continue reading The Foreigner
