Srikanth, the latest Rajkummar Rao starrer directed by Tushar Hiranandani, is a biopic that just skims through the bullet points in the life of industrialist Srikanth Bolla. With familiar dramatization elements getting used along with a lot of punch line dialogues, the film is extremely flat in terms of understanding the psyche of the central character. What really works is the performance of Rajkummar… Continue reading Srikanth Review | A Shallow Showreel Biopic With an Excellent Rajkummar Rao

Ponmagal Vandhal
There is an appreciable intent behind the Jyothika starrer Ponmagal Vandhal directed by J J Fredrick. This social preach disguised as a thriller is actually weak when you try to look at it as a thriller. As a one-liner, there are enough elements here to excite anyone as almost everything we see in that trailer… Continue reading Ponmagal Vandhal
