It’s interesting how Toofaan, Malik, and Sarpatta Parambarai got released on the same platform over a week’s time. I am saying this because while I was watching Pa Ranjith’s new movie Sarpatta Parambarai on Amazon Prime video, I was reminded of the other two movies. Toofaan for the obvious reason of being another movie based… Continue reading Sarpatta Parambarai

Toofaan
Toofaan, the new sports drama starring Farhan Akhtar as the central character, is a movie that relies heavily on the efforts of the actors to make the journey believable rather than the script to create something refreshing. Thus this movie feels like a constant fight between writers and performers. The underdog sports drama always had… Continue reading Toofaan
The Tomorrow War
The Tomorrow War starring Chris Pratt has this fundamental issue of being a hybrid of several other blockbusters. From time traveling to alien invasion, the script written by Zach Dean is not trying to achieve anything unique. We are not given a lot of details about how and why many things are happening.

The premise of the new Amazon Prime original, The Last Hour, is definitely compelling. The mysticism of the northeast and the supernatural elements make the show look exciting in the beginning. But then it starts to linger onto areas that don’t appeal to or indulge us emotionally. With this dragged nature of the content, I… Continue reading The Last Hour
Without Remorse
When the character Thomas Clay played by Guy Pearce, talks to Michael B Jordan’s John Kelly explaining how a country like the USA needs something like a war to keep its people unified against a common enemy, you sort of realize the dark spaces behind the wars we witness in this world. But sadly, in… Continue reading Without Remorse
Joji
In the interviews before the release of Joji, Dileesh Pothan had said that the movie Joji is a tragedy. But looking at how he and Syam Pushkaran have constructed this character of Joji, their version of Macbeth looks more like a dark comedy. You have to be empathetic towards Joji to feel the movie as… Continue reading Joji
