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
The Road Review | A Bloated, Predictable Thriller That Offers Nothing Exciting to the Viewer
The new Trisha starrer, The Road, is an exhausting thriller that struggles to keep things engaging for the viewer. Writer-director Arun Vaseegaran has this plan to narrate the story of the protagonist and antagonist parallelly to create a grey area. But the development of each track is so basic and shallow that you just won’t… Continue reading The Road Review | A Bloated, Predictable Thriller That Offers Nothing Exciting to the Viewer
Chithha Review | A Brilliantly Written Movie That Maturely Handles a Sensitive Theme
The movie Chithha, directed by SU Arun Kumar, is an emotional drama about the bonding between an uncle and his niece. But what is fascinating is how it consistently deviates from the predicted trajectory to provide a compelling theatrical experience. When I say trajectory deviation, I am not talking about jarring plot twists. SU Arun… Continue reading Chithha Review | A Brilliantly Written Movie That Maturely Handles a Sensitive Theme
Chandramukhi 2 Review | Something That Will Make You Reach for the Remote in a Theater
I was a bit worried when I saw the censor certificate of Chandramukhi 2, as the certificate showed the running time as 171 minutes. But after seeing the introduction scene of the hero, I was no longer worried; I was petrified. The sequel to Chandramukhi, directed by P Vasu, is one shabby work that just… Continue reading Chandramukhi 2 Review | Something That Will Make You Reach for the Remote in a Theater
Iraivan Review | A Pretentious Whodunit That Mistakes Gore for Craft
Coherence is essential when it comes to thrillers, even if the supporting facts are over the top or nearly impossible. Iraivan, the new Jayam Ravi film directed by I Ahmed, feels like a psycho thriller that thinks the peripheral gore and pointless convolutions will make any basic concept an exceptional thriller. The obsession with blood… Continue reading Iraivan Review | A Pretentious Whodunit That Mistakes Gore for Craft
