In the initial portions of the second half of Jailer, you feel a bit skeptical about whether Nelson ruined a fab-looking swag fest with uninventive writing. But in the last half an hour of the movie, he bounces back strongly with a clever blend of over the top of heroics and a surprising drama bit.… Continue reading Jailer Review | Nelson Bounces Back With a Terrific Fan Service Package

Let’s get Married LGM Review | MS Dhoni’s Maiden Film Production Is One Unbearable Trash
On paper, Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s maiden production venture, LGM (Let’s Get Married), looks like that perfect light-hearted rom-com dealing with a very relatable relationship issue. But instead of constructing an organic story around it, director Ramesh Thamilmani adds ridiculous amounts of irrelevant humor tracks to test your patience.

I wasn’t a big fan of the 2016 film Pichaikkaran starring Vijay Antony in the title role. But the decision to make such a film for the Tamil audience at that point was somewhat understandable. But when it comes to its sequel Pichaikkaran 2, which has Vijay Antony in a double role, producer-writer- director-editor-music director… Continue reading Pichaikkaran 2 Review | Vijay Antony’s Political Resume Is, at Best, an Unintentional Comedy
Varisu Review | A Big-Budget Daily Soap That Overdid Fan Service
There was a time when the fan service in Vijay films was minimal and subtle which looked pretty convincing considering the syntax of a festival entertainer.
