Captain Miller Review | This Arun Matheswaran Film Is High on Set Pieces, Not So on Drama

Captain Miller from Arun Matheswaran has the difficulty of having to establish its world using an extensive duration. Because of that, as a viewer, I was finding it difficult to connect with the subject and characters on an emotional level, even though Arun scored really well with the action set-pieces. Luckily, the movie’s final act… Continue reading Captain Miller Review | This Arun Matheswaran Film Is High on Set Pieces, Not So on Drama

Vaathi Review | Dhanush Starrer Is a Bland Blend Of Message and Masala

They get the texture of these characters very easily, and even the not-so-great Zero had characters that were fun to watch.
