Let me begin this review by saying if you are that diehard fan who would scream “Kadavuley Ajithey” despite your star requesting not to do that, you do not need any review to watch this movie, and this review is not at all for such an individual. A movie having fan service moments is a… Continue reading Good Bad Ugly Review | A First-Of-Its-Kind, 141-Minute-Long, CBFC-Certified Mashup Video

Vidaamuyarchi Review | A Dull and Bloated Retelling of Breakdown, With a Grounded Ajith
Even if you ignore the fact that Paramount Pictures had to sue Lyca Productions for remaking Breakdown without buying the rights, Magizh Thirumeni’s Vidaamuyarchi just doesn’t have that compelling energy in it to make us say that he created his version of the 1997 film. When you watch a remake, you would expect the filmmaker… Continue reading Vidaamuyarchi Review | A Dull and Bloated Retelling of Breakdown, With a Grounded Ajith
Identity Review | Expensive, Expansive and Excessively Complicated
One thing I have noticed about the scripts of Akhil Paul, one of the makers of the new Tovino Thomas starrer Identity, is how he notices certain peculiar things in stuff we see almost regularly. In movies like 7th Day and Forensic, he has used those details to deceive the audience or to deceive certain… Continue reading Identity Review | Expensive, Expansive and Excessively Complicated
Leo Review | An Engaging Action Flick That Smartly Tweaks the Template
If you have been excited about Leo as a Lokesh Kanagaraj film, it wouldn’t be much of a spoiler to know that the movie is indeed set in his creative universe, the LCU. The good thing about this 100% Lokesh Kanagaraj movie is that Lokesh gets to break the template of a fan service superstar… Continue reading Leo Review | An Engaging Action Flick That Smartly Tweaks the Template
The Road Review | A Bloated, Predictable Thriller That Offers Nothing Exciting to the Viewer
The new Trisha starrer, The Road, is an exhausting thriller that struggles to keep things engaging for the viewer. Writer-director Arun Vaseegaran has this plan to narrate the story of the protagonist and antagonist parallelly to create a grey area. But the development of each track is so basic and shallow that you just won’t… Continue reading The Road Review | A Bloated, Predictable Thriller That Offers Nothing Exciting to the Viewer
Ponniyin Selvan: II Review | The Concluding Chapter Is Rich in Craft and Optimal in Grandeur
What was great about Ponniyin Selvan: I was the way how Mani Ratnam preferred story and drama over creating a mere visual spectacle. If you look at that film, it had that tone of a tale that got narrated to us, and the characters and their baggage added to the film’s drama. Shot in one… Continue reading Ponniyin Selvan: II Review | The Concluding Chapter Is Rich in Craft and Optimal in Grandeur
Raangi Review | A Thriller That Mistakes Stupidity for Journalistic Curiosity
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
Ponniyin Selvan: I
For those of you who are absolutely alien to Ponniyin Selvan, let me tell you two things. The language of the movie is pretty hard, and the character pool is huge. I am saying this because I was unfortunate to see this movie with an audience who came for the film as if to watch… Continue reading Ponniyin Selvan: I
