Goosebumps

Its not entirely a horror film, its not entirely a comedy film and thus the latest Jack Black starrer Goosebumps is not entirely a fun film. It has discrete moments of humor through its dialogues to keep us interested, but on the whole the movie is pretty much for the kids. Compared to director’s last… Continue reading Goosebumps

Naanum Rowdy Dhaan

In a way Naanum Rowdy Dhaan is a smartly tailored desi gangster comedy. It isn’t essentially that “different” to be called as a perfect gangster spoof, but director Vignesh Shivan includes these layers of gangster spoofing which makes the movie work nicely as a comedy entertainer. Thanks to Parthiban and Vijay Sethupathi, the climax of… Continue reading Naanum Rowdy Dhaan

Rani Padmini

Rooted characters, blended humor and also the visual portrayal of the enlightenment one gets after taking a risky, lively journey. All these makes the latest Aashiq Abu film Rani Padmini an absorbing cinema that ultimately tells you to be yourself and take that leap of faith. It is not Thelma & Louise and looking at… Continue reading Rani Padmini

Unfortunately, Vikas Bahl who gave us that gem named Queen, decides to follow an Aneez Bazmi style in… Continue reading Shaandaar

But unfortunately the film fails to deliver some variety in that aspect and ends up as… Continue reading Kanal

10 Endrathukulla

It looks like there is no end to the recent bad run of Tamil biggies. Vijay Milton’s new movie 10 Endrathukulla after the much acclaimed Goli Soda is a very amateurishly treated entertainer. The choice of such a script will make you feel like both Vikram and Milton are desperate to create a masala entertainer.… Continue reading 10 Endrathukulla

Bridge of Spies

Steven Spielberg’s latest film Bridge of Spies is nothing short of a brilliant piece of cinema. A real life tale told in the most absorbing way, this wonderfully layered story that focuses on humanity beyond borders will give you a delightful time of experiencing an emotionally rich and real cinema.  With his efforts to visualize… Continue reading Bridge of Spies

Crimson Peak

The love story, the conspiracy and the relatively fresh mix of horror has definitely made director Guillermo del Toro’s Crimson Peak an engaging Gothic romantic thriller. Del Toro has visualized things in a really spooky atmosphere, but the narration somewhere down the line forgets to keep the secret safely and that predictability takes away the… Continue reading Crimson Peak
