Trisha Illana Nayanthara and Anbanavan Asaradhavan Adangadhavan are the two movies by Adhik Ravichandran I have seen. That filmography is something that never really gives you a sense of optimism. In his new film Mark Antony, starring Vishal and SJ Suryah, craft-wise, Adhik is very much in the same tacky space. But the smartness with… Continue reading Mark Antony Review | A Spectacular SJ Suryah Single-Handedly Takes This Flimsy Time Travel Comedy Ashore

Jailer Review | Nelson Bounces Back With a Terrific Fan Service Package
In the initial portions of the second half of Jailer, you feel a bit skeptical about whether Nelson ruined a fab-looking swag fest with uninventive writing. But in the last half an hour of the movie, he bounces back strongly with a clever blend of over the top of heroics and a surprising drama bit.… Continue reading Jailer Review | Nelson Bounces Back With a Terrific Fan Service Package
Appatha Review | Urvashi Is Brilliant in This Generic and Preachy Drama
Appatha, the 700th film of Urvashi, directed by ace filmmaker Priyadarshan is not a film that is going to have a memorable slot in the director’s filmography. But for Urvashi, the movie will be a testament to the fact that she can add life to even the most predictable and weak scripts with her scintillating… Continue reading Appatha Review | Urvashi Is Brilliant in This Generic and Preachy Drama
Let’s get Married LGM Review | MS Dhoni’s Maiden Film Production Is One Unbearable Trash
On paper, Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s maiden production venture, LGM (Let’s Get Married), looks like that perfect light-hearted rom-com dealing with a very relatable relationship issue. But instead of constructing an organic story around it, director Ramesh Thamilmani adds ridiculous amounts of irrelevant humor tracks to test your patience. Almost 50% of the movie’s runtime can… Continue reading Let’s get Married LGM Review | MS Dhoni’s Maiden Film Production Is One Unbearable Trash
Aneethi Review | An Earnest Arjun Das Couldn’t Salvage This Dragged and Melodramatic Wannabe “Shining”
Aneethi, the new Vasanthabalan film starring Arjun Das, is actually an attempt to understand how a psychopath is molded. When I look back at the movie, the germ of the idea is pretty fascinating. Because in all the films, we see flashbacks after someone has become this psycho-killer kind of person. Vasanthabalan opts for a… Continue reading Aneethi Review | An Earnest Arjun Das Couldn’t Salvage This Dragged and Melodramatic Wannabe “Shining”
Kolai Review | A Terribly Written Thriller With an Overdose of Green-Screen CGI
Every time Vinayak, the character played by Vijay Antony in Balaji K Kumar’s crime thriller Kolai, starts to explain the psychology behind the killer or the reason for a particular move he made, I couldn’t resist the giggle as both his performance and the writing reminded me of the Tamizh Padam spoof movies featuring Shiva.… Continue reading Kolai Review | A Terribly Written Thriller With an Overdose of Green-Screen CGI
Maaveeran Review | Madonne Ashwin’s Fantasy Drama Impresses You With Its Clever and Witty Writing
Maaveeran from Madonne Ashwin is a fabulous example of reinventing the fantasy genre in a way that shreds off the generic tone of storytelling. Madonne Ashwin invests less in being flashy, and what excites you is the smartness in the writing to place the unique element in the story to take things forward. Even though… Continue reading Maaveeran Review | Madonne Ashwin’s Fantasy Drama Impresses You With Its Clever and Witty Writing
Farhana Review | A Loud and Generic Thriller That Failed to Utilize Its Potential
The title character of the movie Farhana is this extremely naive woman who lives with her husband and family, who are extremely conservative Muslims. The issue I had with the film was that this naivety is visible in the way the film presents the character and her conflicts. With the screenplay jumping from one tone… Continue reading Farhana Review | A Loud and Generic Thriller That Failed to Utilize Its Potential
