The one thing that makes the audience root for the characters in the latest Sivakarthikeyan starrer Amaran is the love story of Major Mukund Varadarajan and his wife, Rebecca Varghese. The army part of the story, which may have consumed the bulkier chunk of the budget, is largely a documentation of the soldier’s life. Even… Continue reading Amaran Review | A Biopic That Documents the Journey in a Fairly Engaging Way

Ayalaan Review | A Broad-Stroke Sci-Fi Fantasy That Is Strictly for Kids
I am a bit confused about giving a verdict for the new Sivakarthikeyan movie Ayalaan. On one hand, it is a movie with a very simple and predictable story with every twist and turn feeling very familiar. And on the other hand, if you take your kids who aren’t much exposed to the sci-fi genre… Continue reading Ayalaan Review | A Broad-Stroke Sci-Fi Fantasy That Is Strictly for Kids
Maaveeran Review | Madonne Ashwin’s Fantasy Drama Impresses You With Its Clever and Witty Writing
Maaveeran from Madonne Ashwin is a fabulous example of reinventing the fantasy genre in a way that shreds off the generic tone of storytelling.

Prince Review | Post-interval, This Sivakarthikeyan Starrer Is a Clueless Drag
There is a particular style of counter-dialogue comedy that you expect in every Sivakarthikeyan movie, which is somewhere between the cringe and funny zone.

But this romantic comedy runs out of ideas in the second half and what… Continue reading Prince Review | Post-interval, This Sivakarthikeyan Starrer Is a Clueless Drag
Don
Don, the new Sivakarthikeyan starrer directed by Cibi Chakaravarthi, is an entertainer that tries to include almost everything you have seen in a commercial entertainer. It hasn’t managed to pull off every one of that, but whichever track it was able to pull off, thanks to its leading man, was smooth. Aided by some earnest… Continue reading Don
Doctor
The blockbuster material movies need a timely reinvention to keep the audience excited about that over-the-top stylized way of movie-making. With his debut movie Kolamavu Kokila, director Nelson Dilipkumar had made it clear that he has a solid grip over humor and the uniqueness of that humor made it a hilarious film. Coming to his… Continue reading Doctor
Hero
PS Mithran was one director who showed immense promise when he came with his debut venture Irumbu Thirai that showed the seriousness of the way we carelessly handled our data privacy. His new venture Hero starring Sivakarthikeyan is a highly diluted spoon-fed social preach that has only the shadow of the man who created Irumbu… Continue reading Hero
Namma Veettu Pillai
Kadaikutty Singam that came last year from Pandiraj was a massive commercial success despite being an extremely old school family drama. I personally haven’t enjoyed that film at all and for me, Namma Veettu Pillai from Pandiraj was just one more Xerox copy of Kadaikutty Singam. With so many characters and cheesy melodrama happening frequently… Continue reading Namma Veettu Pillai
