Well he is a legendary director and this was my first experience of watching an Adoor Gopalakrishnan movie from a theater. Pinneyum directed by Adoor Gopalakrishna with Dileep and Kavya Madhavan in the lead role is a very poorly executed movie. The movie perhaps has the most awkward dialogue delivery in the recent past and… Continue reading Pinneyum

Perariyathavar
The movie Perariyathavar has received the best film award in the Environment Conservation/ Preservation category. And it deserves to be appreciated for that aspect of the movie. The movie is looking in to the lives of those under privileged people who don’t have a home or a proper job. And in that journey, Dr. Biju… Continue reading Perariyathavar
Mohenjo Daro
When you look at the extensive production design and the kind of blending of the one liner history of Mohenjo Daro, there is something in this film that asks for a little bit of an appreciation. But still the latest Ashutosh Gowariker film’s main drawback is its lack of a surprising story. From Gladiator to… Continue reading Mohenjo Daro
Rustom
Rustom is based on the famous Nanavati case which had a certain sensation at that time due to its media coverage. But this movie directed by Tinu Suresh Desai has no flare to its credit. For a large chunk of its unnecessarily elaborate runtime, the movie looks like those films made at the time the… Continue reading Rustom
IDI
If it was an out and out spoof film, IDI from Sajid Yahiya would have worked wonderfully as an entertainer filled with laughable moments. But the problem with IDI in my opinion was that it tried to become another Singham with quirks in the narrative. When a movie takes its plot seriously, it is difficult… Continue reading IDI
Pretham
When you look at the extent to which mentalism gets used in the movie Pretham, there will be this obvious questions of practicality as the movie utilizes it in very crucial areas. Apart from that factor, the latest Ranjith Sankar movie Pretham is an interesting watch. With humour enriched in almost every scene, Ranjith Sankar… Continue reading Pretham
Marubhoomiyile Aana
Remember those movies of Jayaram? Where he would be in total debt and the whole responsibility of the family would be in his shoulders. Marubhoomiyile Aana is somewhat a reincarnation of that kind of stories. The treatment by the way looks very amateurish and formulaic. With only the second half having some juice to please… Continue reading Marubhoomiyile Aana
Thirunaal
Thirunaal starring Jiiva and Nayanthara is a pointless movie that wanders around aimlessly with random scenes on a very clichéd formula. I am still trying to figure out what precisely this movie is about. It is not a gangster movie and it is not a love story. But all these elements are there in this… Continue reading Thirunaal
