Brutal, Real, Intense and Agonizing. These are the words I would like to use to describe the awesome craft of Kathryn Bigelow, Zero Dark Thirty. It’s a movie that tries to convey the effort behind one of history’s most challenging man hunt. The entire process behind the United States operation that found and killed Osama… Continue reading Zero Dark Thirty

Special 26
After the socially committed thriller “A Wednesday” director Neeraj Pandey is back with a movie that has quality entertainment value. Special 26 is a crispy thriller that will keep you entertained for its engaging pace and perfect blend of humor. Even though the film isn’t completely against corruption and crimes, the perfectly structured script ensures… Continue reading Special 26
Dracula 2012
Mediocre film making at its peak. That’s what I can say about director Vinayan’s new experiment “Dracula 2012”. A movie that was supposed to scare the audience never even comes anywhere being scary. Cliché story telling with predictable sequences with dramatic and unreal dialogs along with bizarre performances of the debutants, the movie is a… Continue reading Dracula 2012
Natholi Oru Cheriya Meenalla
Anurag Kashyap has once said that it is impossible to make a film that convinces every one. You have to make the film that satisfy you and find the right audience. The problem with V K Prakash’s Natholi Oru Cheriya Meenalla is that the correct audience for the movie is quite limited. NOCM is a… Continue reading Natholi Oru Cheriya Meenalla
Race 2

These fundamental components of the RACE franchise are definitely there for you in the sequel of RACE – RACE 2. With abundant amount of colorful upper class life and fantasy money spitted mind games,… Continue reading Race 2

A plot that can add as many Davids as you want, Bejoy has taken 3 for Hindi and 2 for Tamil. The review here is of the Tamil version. Well the concept of following a… Continue reading David
Kadal
Ideological clash between good and evil; and the ultimate victory of goodness over the negative mindset through the help of love is ultimately what Manirathnam is trying to convey through his new venture “Kadal”. Unfortunately the uneven pitching of emotional drama and the lack of required intensity makes the movie an easily predictable movie with… Continue reading Kadal
Lokpal
Bigger names make bigger mistakes. After watching the Mohanlal starrer Lokpal you will surely be clueless about what convinced Mohanlal and Joshy to do an unbelievably flawed script. A poor blend of “4 the people” and “Kalikkalam” put in a backdrop of modern day anti-corruption movement, Lokpal is a movie that will leave you surprised… Continue reading Lokpal
