It was pretty clear from the trailer that Shah Rukh Khan was playing a double role in Jawan and that too of Father and Son. The idea is basically Lion King and Atlee uses all his and his fellow directors’ themes in this package. Atlee is not a director who is known for presenting novel… Continue reading Jawan Review | Atlee’s Bloated Lion King Struggles to Hold Together

Viduthalai Part 1 Review | Vetri Maaran Invests an Entire Film Just for World-Building
At the end of Viduthalai Part 1, Vetri Maaran teases the audience with the footage from the upcoming second part, which almost looks like a lazily edited trailer. Looking at the dramatic moments in those visuals, I am more excited about that Part 2, which will be more political and to the point. Viduthalai Part… Continue reading Viduthalai Part 1 Review | Vetri Maaran Invests an Entire Film Just for World-Building
Farzi Review | A Smart and Entertaining Addition to Raj & DK’s Spy Universe
Raj and DK’s new Amazon Prime original series Farzi is a great example of developing a movie theme into an exhilarating thriller series. Set in the universe of The Family Man series, the director duo uses the humor-driven treatment to narrate a thriller that has the advantage of having a premise that is less explored.… Continue reading Farzi Review | A Smart and Entertaining Addition to Raj & DK’s Spy Universe

DSP Review | A Trashy Mass Masala Film That Takes the Audience for Granted
The first and second half of Ponram’s Vijay Sethupathi starrer DSP is so disjoint that you can look at them as two different films – correction – two different crap films with zero elements of excitement. The writing of this movie goes after anything and everything to stretch the movie’s duration, resulting in a pathetic… Continue reading DSP Review | A Trashy Mass Masala Film That Takes the Audience for Granted
19(1)(a)
19(1)(a), the new Malayalam film from debutant Indhu VS is a genuine attempt to tell society about the relevance of being political. Even though it is questioning the autocratic right-wing rule, there is an effort to showcase how a political mind differs from others. The only major issue with the movie is the intensity of… Continue reading 19(1)(a)
Maamanithan
Directed by Seenu Ramasamy, Maamanithan, the new Vijay Sethupathi film is a movie that struggles to portray the struggles of a commoner. The movie wants to explore only the emotional side of the story, and hence the viewer is forced to watch a drama full of cliches.

And there is a sense of mystery about that character. It’s no longer a secret that Lokesh’s new movie Vikram, starring… Continue reading Vikram
