There is a stark difference between the first and second half of the movie Oru Pakka Kathai starring Kalidas Jayaram and Megha Akash. Director Balaji Tharaneetharan is trying to tell a story that has a broader canvas. Yes, the shift from being a fun film to a dark satire is causing some trouble to the… Continue reading Oru Pakka Kathai

Paava Kadhaigal
When you hear that four directors, who have made movies in their distinctive zones, are making stories in an anthology movie that deals with honor killing, there will be an evident curiosity to know how they will achieve that in their way of storytelling. From someone like Vignesh Sivan, who is known to make fun… Continue reading Paava Kadhaigal
Andhaghaaram
At one point in Andhaghaaram, when the character Vinod played by Arjun Das, explains the crazy things happening around him to his girlfriend, she jokingly says visualizing all those things using graphics would cost a fortune. That statement somehow encapsulates why a lot of us would be impressed by V Vignarajan’s supernatural thriller. The story… Continue reading Andhaghaaram
Mookuthi Amman
RJ Balaji’s first directorial LKG was a fun satire that was a bit loud but never felt unclear about its intentions.

The idea never feels fresh in terms of the… Continue reading Mookuthi Amman

Putham Pudhu Kaalai

These are pretty much a scaled-up version of short films that the makers had to shoot in a very constrained environment. The philosophy ultimately is to offer the viewer something… Continue reading Putham Pudhu Kaalai
Ka Pae Ranasingam
When you look at the heavily clichéd and goodness overloaded structure of a movie like Kadaikkutty Singham and also find out that it was a humongous success in the Tamil Nadu box office, one thing becomes very clear; there is that B and C center audience who just love watching that village drama with a… Continue reading Ka Pae Ranasingam
LockUp
LockUp directed by SG Charles is a thriller that lacks coherence at some of its major moments. It is trying to set up an interesting plot in a constrained amount of time. But when they tried to give the screenplay the necessarily complicated layers, it felt so unreal. The film was constantly fluctuating between the… Continue reading LockUp
