Even though the final act of the new Tamil movie Good Night is a bit flimsy in comparison to the rest of its content, this movie from Vinayak Chandrasekaran is perhaps one of the few films that made me laugh out loud with subtle humor in the recent past. The core conflict is about how… Continue reading Good Night Review | A Lively and Relatable Comedy That Puts a Smile on Your Face

Pichaikkaran 2 Review | Vijay Antony’s Political Resume Is, at Best, an Unintentional Comedy
I wasn’t a big fan of the 2016 film Pichaikkaran starring Vijay Antony in the title role. But the decision to make such a film for the Tamil audience at that point was somewhat understandable. But when it comes to its sequel Pichaikkaran 2, which has Vijay Antony in a double role, producer-writer- director-editor-music director… Continue reading Pichaikkaran 2 Review | Vijay Antony’s Political Resume Is, at Best, an Unintentional Comedy
Ponniyin Selvan: II Review | The Concluding Chapter Is Rich in Craft and Optimal in Grandeur
What was great about Ponniyin Selvan: I was the way how Mani Ratnam preferred story and drama over creating a mere visual spectacle. If you look at that film, it had that tone of a tale that got narrated to us, and the characters and their baggage added to the film’s drama. Shot in one… Continue reading Ponniyin Selvan: II Review | The Concluding Chapter Is Rich in Craft and Optimal in Grandeur
Rudhran Review | Raghava Lawrence Tries to Be Rajinikanth, but He Just Can’t
I wouldn’t say I was unemotional while watching the new Raghava Lawrence film Rudhran. I laughed seeing the action sequences, cried seeing the comedy, and got angry seeing the sentiments. Rudhran is Raghava Lawrence trying to be a mixture of Nandamuri Balakrishna and Rajinikanth, but what he succeeds is only giving the viewer a headache.… Continue reading Rudhran Review | Raghava Lawrence Tries to Be Rajinikanth, but He Just Can’t
Thiruvin Kural Review | A Sloppy Thriller That Takes Little Effort to Be Compelling
The moment you see that introduction fight for our hero as he protects his niece from a molester, the shoddiness of the writing of the new Arulnithi starrer Thiruvin Kural becomes very clear. Harish Prabhu’s psycho-killer story wants to present itself as a nail-biting thriller. But the imagination is so vapid that you just sit… Continue reading Thiruvin Kural Review | A Sloppy Thriller That Takes Little Effort to Be Compelling
Viduthalai Part 1 Review | Vetri Maaran Invests an Entire Film Just for World-Building
At the end of Viduthalai Part 1, Vetri Maaran teases the audience with the footage from the upcoming second part, which almost looks like a lazily edited trailer. Looking at the dramatic moments in those visuals, I am more excited about that Part 2, which will be more political and to the point. Viduthalai Part… Continue reading Viduthalai Part 1 Review | Vetri Maaran Invests an Entire Film Just for World-Building
Pathu Thala Review| A Subpar Gangster Drama With a Stretched-Out Screenplay
The first half of the movie Pathu Thala is roughly one hour and ten minutes long, and Silambarasan makes his grand entry in the last five minutes of the first half. Even though it isn’t achieving anything unique or gripping, the first half at least felt like a standard gangster film setup. What derails Pathu… Continue reading Pathu Thala Review| A Subpar Gangster Drama With a Stretched-Out Screenplay
Dada Review | An Enjoyable Relationship Drama That Feels Surprisingly Subtle
What was surprisingly good about the latest Tamil film Dada starring Kavin and Aparna Das, is the lack of melodrama in a movie with some really dramatic turns. Starting from that top-angle shot and ending in a similar top-angle shot, Ganesh K. Babu’s Dada is that small and sweet movie that surprises you with its… Continue reading Dada Review | An Enjoyable Relationship Drama That Feels Surprisingly Subtle
