The transporter franchise is mainly a one man show entertainer that sort of worked only because of its mass appealing super star lead Jason Statham. The Transporter Refueled starring the relatively unknown Ed Skrein is a dull film that has a few ultra slow motion and CGI generated set pieces to keep you just away… Continue reading The Transporter Refueled

Paayum Puli
Suseenthiran is known for creating intriguing thrillers that somewhat utilizes the emotional outbreak of his characters (except for Rajapattai). Paayum Puli, his new film with Vishal after the impressive Pandiya naadu is an overall good film that borrows a bit from Suseenthiran’s other movies of similar genre. With the second half cocktail having a good mix… Continue reading Paayum Puli
Phantom
D Day from Nikhil Adwani and Baby from Neeraj Pandey are the two ambitious and successful movies that were made on the premises of various terror attacks India had to face. Kabir Khan’s new movie Phantom starring Saif Ali Khan and Katrina Kaif, tries to follow the same pattern but the kind unconvincing series of… Continue reading Phantom
Thani Oruvan
It has exaggerations, it has clichés, but the beauty of remake man M Raja’s Thani Oruvan lies in the fact that it has solid antagonist and the ultimate theme runs on an idea rather than a deterministic heroism. With plot never deviating to anything unnecessary, Thani Oruvan is an impressive thriller with solid performances. Mithiran… Continue reading Thani Oruvan
Kunjiramayanam
The makers have clearly spoken out their inspirations for the film through some dialogues.

The target was to create a simple fun film with many characters and I believe they have succeeded in achieving… Continue reading Kunjiramayanam
Double Barrel
Two helicopters, six cameras for one shot, five hotshot young heroes, enormous cast, wonderful technicians and all this for an insane creation that has nothing to captivate the audience. Technically the movie Double Barrel has pushed the envelope a lot, but the ultimate product is so shoddy that you tend to forget about the efforts… Continue reading Double Barrel
Jamna Pyari
The formula of making Jamna Pyari is to add some clichés like Kochi Rajavu style heroism along with a pinch of T P Balagopalan M A. For just around two hours of runtime, Jamna Pyari is an unappealing Onam entertainer that tries to follow the safe zone formula of some old masala movies. With the… Continue reading Jamna Pyari
Utopiayile Rajavu
Well the movie will make you realize how good was Mammootty’s Pranchiettan and the saint. Made using a reckless script that desperately tries to be funny, Utopiayile Rajavu from director Kamal is an extremely disappointing movie that fails to be a satire. Swathanthran is the son of a freedom fighter and there is this legal… Continue reading Utopiayile Rajavu
