Brother Review | Dated Packaging Combined With Serial-Level Messaging
In his prime, director M Rajesh used to get it right in cracking that irreverent kind of humor through his movies. It was the signature humor that made him unique.

Bloody Beggar Review | An Overdone, Wacky Comedy That Fails to Utilize Its Premise
The latest Kavin starrer Bloody Beggar, directed by Sivabalan Muthukumar and produced by director Nelson, is a wacky black comedy that fails to utilize its unique premise due to all these contrasting themes and treatments one gets to see in it.

Meiyazhagan Review | The Cinematic Equivalent of a Long, Warm Hug
Meiyazhagan, C Prem Kumar’s second movie after the magnificent “96”, has the same texture in terms of treatment.

Lubber Pandhu Review | A Smartly Tweaked Sports Drama With a Variety of Layers
The reason why Lubber Pandhu, the latest Tamil sports drama directed by Tamizharasan Pachamuthu, feels so exciting is because it has a packed feeling in terms of layers of drama.
