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
Pokkiri Raja
The movie has that element to create a low budget Superhero Movie but unfortunately in Pokkiri Raja the director fails to use the material correctly and ultimately the movie ends up as a ridiculous imagination that has very discrete moments of entertainment. If the writing had that charm to use the simple crazy thought in an engaging way, the… Continue reading Pokkiri Raja
The Revenant
I will have to say that the academy has given the deserving awards to the movie The Revenant. The occasionally dragging story of Hugh Glass’s life experience gets an unbelievable visual treatment through the lenses of Emmanuel Lubezki and Leonardo DiCaprio’s stunning portrayal along with the uncompromised making style of Alejandro Inarritu adds more quality… Continue reading The Revenant
