Kapoor & Sons Since 1921

For me, Kapoor & Sons was quite a surprise. Shakun Batra who earlier made a not so appealing Ek Mein Aur Ek Tu joining hands again with Dharma productions never really made me that much excited about the film and from the look of the trailer I sort of sensed the scope of new gen… Continue reading Kapoor & Sons Since 1921

Ithu Thaanda Police

Ithu Thaanda Police (earlier titled as Driver on Duty) is like a film someone wrote after watching all those outdated police stories which created a false filmy police image. The movie doesn’t even have a conflict to work on and with ridiculous amount of clichés in narration and dialogues, this movie from Manoj Palodan will… Continue reading Ithu Thaanda Police

Darvinte Parinamam

If they had avoided the lengthy melodramas in the first half and those commercial masala elements in the second half, Darvinte Parinamam would have worked wonderfully as a refreshing revenge cinema with commendable amount of variety to its credit. But unfortunately there are these imperfections which sort of drags the movie backwards and making it… Continue reading Darvinte Parinamam

Pichaikkaran

The variety the theme offers is perhaps the only and major plus point of the latest Vijay Antony Starrer Pichaikkaran directed by Sasi. Soaked in all the typical flavours like mass masala action, preachy melodrama, superstitious beliefs and cheesy romance, Pichaikaran has certain uniqueness here and there which keeps you engaged. Arul has completed MBA… Continue reading Pichaikkaran

Jai Gangaajal

Jai Gangaajal has everything that you find in a Prakash Jha movie, except the director doing a prominent role in the film. Having said that, it isn’t as intense like most of Mr. Jha’s films. The agenda this time again is the purification of system and the characters are cops and politicians. But there isn’t… Continue reading Jai Gangaajal

London Has Fallen

Among the white house attack movies that got released in 2013, Olympus Has Fallen had the edge as it had a better content which kept things a bit sensible and intriguing. With London Has Fallen, the franchise tries to be too ambitious with the development. With proceedings lacking conviction, the movie is pretty dull and… Continue reading London Has Fallen

Sowcarpettai

Seeing Srikanth and Raai Laxmi in that ghost avatar in the posters, I was expecting at least the quality of Aranmanai franchise. But with cluttered imagination and ridiculous story line Sowcarpettai is an absolute crap. It is just as if they wanted to create a horror movie but has no idea on what to create.… Continue reading Sowcarpettai

Spotlight

Finally got the chance to see the Academy Award winner for Best Picture; Spotlight. It’s a terrific screenplay that interestingly looks at the perspective of a team of journalists. Yet it is thrilling, compelling and quite riveting with characters having that relentless energy to cover a story with some journalistic passion to create an impact… Continue reading Spotlight
