Story credit for the movie Raangi is given to director AR Murugadoss. And it takes little time for us to realize why Murugadoss opted not to move forward with this story. The supposed-to-be anti-war movie written and directed by M Saravanan is a colossal mess that misunderstands its central character’s stupidity as a journalistic curiosity.… Continue reading Raangi Review | A Thriller That Mistakes Stupidity for Journalistic Curiosity

Adhyarathri is a very simplistic entertainer format comedy that deals with the importance of woman’s consent in an important event like marriage. While the film isn’t achieving anything in particular in terms of craft or scripting, this 129 minutes long movie is never really an annoyance. Biju Menon is in that Vellimoonga zone of comedy… Continue reading Adhyarathri
