There was this lack of intrigue which severely affected the whole presentation of the Mockingjay Part 1. With the story this time having an ending that pretty much had some good amount of twists and background detailing to its credit, The Hunger Games : Mockingjay Part 2 is very much a convincing conclusion to the… Continue reading The Hunger Games : Mockingjay Part 2

Tamasha
If you look at films like Rockstar and Highway, there is this longing for freedom beyond the conventional right and wrong. Those movies had protagonists who wanted to feel the positive side of not being strangled by orthodox mindsets. The good side of Tamasha is that Imtiaz Ali takes away the tragic angle of those… Continue reading Tamasha
Spectre
Skyfall was actually a very different take on the typical Bond films and it did open up a debate. Some of my friends criticized it for not being that fancy – gadget spy thriller. Sam Mendes’s second outing with agent 007, Spectre is also in the similar zone of Skyfall when you look at the… Continue reading Spectre
Rajamma at Yahoo
Reghu Rama Varma’s debut movie Rajamma at Yahoo is supposed to be a comedy entertainer and serves the purpose in the first half of the movie.

If the script tried something different or something related… Continue reading Rajamma at Yahoo
Su Su Sudhi Vathmeekam

But if you approach it as a movie that depicts the struggle of a man whose life was severely restricted because of stammering issues, Sudhi Vathmeekam may not… Continue reading Su Su Sudhi Vathmeekam
Anarkali
Towards the climax, there is this impeccable performance of Biju Menon in the movie Anarkali that will surely make you laugh out loud because of the comedy timing the actor shows. Even after having the aid of some superb technical backup, Anarkali from Sachy can’t really establish itself as an eternal tale. With equal weightage… Continue reading Anarkali
Prem Ratan Dhan Payo
Prem Ratan Dhan Payo is one more reason for you to wonder whether we are back in the 90’s. The other two being the cricket all stars tournament and Lalu Prasad Yadav’s victory in elections. Outdated content is the one simple description that I can give to this Salman Khan starrer. Sooraj Barjatya and his… Continue reading Prem Ratan Dhan Payo
Thoongaavanam
The only disappointment for me in the case of Thoongaavanam was that they haven’t tried to reinterpret the whole backdrop of the film to make it look different from the original. Except for that key factor, Thoongaavanam is a well made situational thriller which has done complete justice to the original French version Sleepless Night.… Continue reading Thoongaavanam
