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

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. Anudeep’s new movie Prince, starring Sivakarthikeyan, starts off with that typical style you associate with the star. 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
Sardar Review | An Underwhelming Spy-Thriller That Tries Hard to Be a Star Vehicle
In the introduction sequence of Karthi in the movie Sardar, there is a line the character says about his social media persona. He says something like he wants to set a template rather than being in an already set template. But frankly, when you finish watching Sardar, you might want to tell both PS Mithran… Continue reading Sardar Review | An Underwhelming Spy-Thriller That Tries Hard to Be a Star Vehicle
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
Naane Varuvean
In Naane Varuvean, Dhanush, as a writer, tries to cover up the flatness in the story by uniquely placing the conflict. And with Selvaraghavan’s eccentric style of filmmaking, the storytelling becomes much more visual than verbal. Yes, there are areas where the movie takes too much cinematic liberty to make things convenient for the story.… Continue reading Naane Varuvean
Vendhu Thanindhathu Kaadu
In Vendhu Thanindhathu Kaadu, Gautham Vasudev Menon is clearly trying his luck at the gangster film genre by creating his version of Velu Naicker. In creating a world that looks original, Menon succeeds to an extent. But the narrative duration is such that you kind of sense a lack of clarity in depicting the eventfulness… Continue reading Vendhu Thanindhathu Kaadu
Captain
Shakti Soundar Rajan’s filmography is mostly a list of films that wants to look like an aspiring Hollywood thriller, but most of them have ended up looking like tacky parodies of those Hollywood biggies. In my opinion, Miruthan and Tik Tik Tik were nothing short of unintentional spoofs, and his new venture, Captain, a project… Continue reading Captain
Natchathiram Nagargiradhu
Inclusivity and caste politics have always been integral to Pa Ranjith’s films. After trying similar themes in various mainstream films, Ranjith goes for an experiment that talks about love and the politics within that in his new movie Natchathiram Nagargiradhu. Even though the conversational drama set in the backdrop of theater feels a bit uneven… Continue reading Natchathiram Nagargiradhu
