When a movie gets a sequel, the most important thing the makers have to make sure is that it should be bigger at least in the creative sense. What CS Amudhan has managed to do with Tamizh Padam 2 is somewhat that. Continuing from where he left off in the last film, the director spoofs everything… Continue reading Tamizh Padam 2

There is a tried and tested joint family drama formula in Tamil that mainly pops up as festival entertainers. Kadaikutty Singam starring Karthi is one such film where director Pandiraj applies that formula and somehow ends up with a product that is less chaotic when compared to a Hari movie. With all the farmer pleasing… Continue reading Kadaikutty Singam

Shakti Soundar Rajan seems to be influenced by Hollywood movies a lot and after a hugely disappointing Miruthan, a zombie thriller, he has come up with another genre familiar to Holly wood, space thriller titled Tik Tik Tik. We were all blown away by the visual quality of the movie’s trailer which made most of… Continue reading Tik Tik Tik

It is actually in the last half an hour of the movie where a large chunk of revealing happens and the director succeeds in making a statement out of the predictable equation. The tension is high and… Continue reading Mercury

Sketch is like a great example on how to make a film without any idea on how to conclude it. This movie by Vijay Chandar has all the clichés in the world and out of the blue comes a climax message on why we should educate children who are forced to do labor. Even though… Continue reading Sketch

Exaggeration and spoon feeding has always been a part of mainstream commercial Tamil films. Ironically the other characters in the movie Thaanaa Serndha Koottaam mock the hero by saying “you will have a back-story for all this right?” The downside of this adaptation of Special 26 by Neeraj Pandey is this back-story thing. And towards… Continue reading Thaanaa Serndha Koottaam
