The character of Gerda Wegner really moved me a lot because of the love she had for her life partner. Based on the life story of Danish painter Einar Wegener, The Danish Girl has that material in it to make you think about the definition of true love that lies beyond mere possessiveness. With Eddie… Continue reading The Danish Girl

The Hateful Eight
The hateful eight from Quentin Tarantino has the signature elements of the director for sure, but the amount of freshness was an issue. It has ample violence, long and interesting dialogues delivered by fabulous actors and of course QT’s usual way of building the tension by giving us a detailed background story of each person.… Continue reading The Hateful Eight
Monsoon Mangoes
Monsoon Mangoes from Abi Varghese created bit of a confusion in my mind on giving a verdict. Well the film has spoof, it has sarcasm and at the end of it all there is this live your life/ take risk sort of motivational idea. To be honest, I feel this mixture of entirely different treatments… Continue reading Monsoon Mangoes
Paavada
If you look at the cast and crew of the movie Paavada, it is really a mixed bag. It has Marthandan in the director’s chair after a disastrous Acha Din, but it also has the screen writer of 1983 and Best actor, Bipin Chandran sharing the writer credits. I also had a slight fear that… Continue reading Paavada
Rajini Murugan
When compared to the recently released set of Macha-Macha comedy movies in Tamil, Rajini Murugan directed by Ponram is a much better entertainer. If you go and check the sensibility of situations and the logic in them, the film won’t please you. But for an audience who are just looking for wit elements along with… Continue reading Rajini Murugan
Tharai Thappattai
The real stars of director Bala’s Tharai Thappattai are Varalaxmi Sarathkumar and R K Suresh. Bala’s signature style character molding was there in Tharai Thappattai, but unfortunately the story that narrates the miserable life of the backward classes isn’t that emotionally captivating. Sannasi has this group of dancers and musicians who performs at festivals to… Continue reading Tharai Thappattai
Kathakali
Kathakali is an attempt to cater the typical Tamil mass masala formula of the common man becoming a revenge thirsty superman by having a slightly different treatment. Pandiraj’s effort to make this sort of action genre that adapts style from movies like Madras and Vishal’s own Pandiya Naadu to keep the tension in the real… Continue reading Kathakali
Maalgudy Days
I have no clue why director Siddique compared this film with Bharathan’s Malootty. Maalgudy Days is a movie that has a very petty script that fails to engage you. The based on a true story part has little to do with the movie’s content (As they clearly stated it at the end). With child actors… Continue reading Maalgudy Days
