The horror comedy Conjuring Kannappan, directed by Selvin Raj Xavier, has this concept where the central characters wake up in a different space in their dreams. That basic thought has a very interesting premise as we don’t feel a sense of cliche immediately. But like how one of the characters describes the dream location in… Continue reading Conjuring Kannappan Review | This Feather-Plucking Horror Comedy Is a Hair-Plucking Torture

Paradise Review | Prasanna Vithanage’s Contemporary Ramayana Interpretation Is Pertinent and Political
What is peculiar and impressive about Prasanna Vithanage’s Paradise is its gaze that tries to interpret Ramayana differently. And he sort of uses his leading lady to achieve this, who advocates for the woman’s agency in a blunt yet polite way. The female gaze is backed by the current political scenario of Sri Lanka as… Continue reading Paradise Review | Prasanna Vithanage’s Contemporary Ramayana Interpretation Is Pertinent and Political
Annapoorani Review | Nayanthara Starrer Is Intentionally Noble but Creatively Tasteless
On a skeleton level, the new Nayanthara movie Annapoorani’s script feels like a non-boring template story about a girl pursuing her dreams against all odds. But when it comes to fleshing out that idea into a proper script, director Nilesh Krishnaa struggles to create genuinely exciting drama that will make us root for the leading… Continue reading Annapoorani Review | Nayanthara Starrer Is Intentionally Noble but Creatively Tasteless
Japan Review | A Structurally Weak Satire With Interesting Meta-Humor
If you have the patience to analyze the characters in Raju Murugan’s Japan, you can see a very sarcastic commentary on how the system works. Japan has a lot of meta-humor that keeps the movie in a very engaging space. But the screenplay’s development is somewhat overconfident in this kind of humor that Raju Murugan… Continue reading Japan Review | A Structurally Weak Satire With Interesting Meta-Humor
Jigarthanda DoubleX Review | Cinema Takes the Backseat in This Political Prequel From Karthik Subbaraj
Jigarthanda DoubleX was the kind of film where I felt like asking Karthik Subbaraj to rewrite the whole first half because I enjoyed the film’s climax, and it felt like it deserved a brilliant movie. Unlike the first one, which had a very rooted feel with the ultimate love channeled towards cinema, here the tone… Continue reading Jigarthanda DoubleX Review | Cinema Takes the Backseat in This Political Prequel From Karthik Subbaraj
Koozhangal Review | PS Vinothraj Movie Is an Indie Masterclass on Visual Storytelling
The indie art films that actually worked have this nature of keeping us guessing till the very end, and once we join the dots of visual metaphors and dialogue cues as we finish the movie, it will give us that wow factor. One movie that gave me a similar experience was Sudevan’s Crime No. 89.… Continue reading Koozhangal Review | PS Vinothraj Movie Is an Indie Masterclass on Visual Storytelling
Leo Review | An Engaging Action Flick That Smartly Tweaks the Template
If you have been excited about Leo as a Lokesh Kanagaraj film, it wouldn’t be much of a spoiler to know that the movie is indeed set in his creative universe, the LCU. The good thing about this 100% Lokesh Kanagaraj movie is that Lokesh gets to break the template of a fan service superstar… Continue reading Leo Review | An Engaging Action Flick That Smartly Tweaks the Template
Raththam Review | Barring the Interval Twist, Everything Else in This CS Amudhan Thriller Feels Like a Spoof
Raththam is director CS Amudhan’s first “serious” film, and he had made two spoof movies prior to this, titled Thamizh Padam and Thamizh Padam 2, respectively. I must admit that after being boringly generic till the interval point, Amudhan teases the audience with a spectacular interval reveal. But the problem with this thriller is that,… Continue reading Raththam Review | Barring the Interval Twist, Everything Else in This CS Amudhan Thriller Feels Like a Spoof
