The introduction scene of the hero in the movie Agilan has him smuggling three containers with fake currency into a cargo ship. And you know what was painted on those containers? “FA-KE” along with serial numbers. I do appreciate fewer complexities in over-the-top action films, for sure. But this almost felt like an insult. N… Continue reading Agilan Review | An Incoherent Mess With a Bizarre Story

Vaathi Review | Dhanush Starrer Is a Bland Blend Of Message and Masala
It is no secret that the essential ingredient of a typical star film in Tamil Nadu is the hero’s preaching and lecturing about social issues. Vaathi, the new Dhanush starrer directed by Venky Atluri, follows the same template and tries to expose the already exposed yet unshackled business of education. With the screenplay stuck on… Continue reading Vaathi Review | Dhanush Starrer Is a Bland Blend Of Message and Masala
Michael Review | A Flawed Gangster Film With Flat Writing and Great Visuals
At the end of the film Michael, they have shown the filmography that has inspired director Ranjith Jeyakodi to make this Sudeep Kishan film. And the list includes Nayakan, John Wick, Leon: The Professional, and Amitabh Bachchan’s Deewar. While the style factor makes it look like a technically solid film that almost looks like a… Continue reading Michael Review | A Flawed Gangster Film With Flat Writing and Great Visuals
Thunivu Review | Ajith Kumar Swagger Saves This Convoluted Action Thriller
During the promotional interviews of Thunivu, director H Vinoth openly talked about his shortcomings as a writer. He said that his movies are shaped around specific facts he read or heard somewhere. So creating something emotional has been challenging for him. He has also admitted that he enjoys the meticulous designing of fight sequences. Thunivu… Continue reading Thunivu Review | Ajith Kumar Swagger Saves This Convoluted Action Thriller
Varisu Review | A Big-Budget Daily Soap That Overdid Fan Service
There was a time when the fan service in Vijay films was minimal and subtle which looked pretty convincing considering the syntax of a festival entertainer. Varisu from Vamshi Paidipally is a movie that has too much burden on its shoulders to create an image for its lead actor. I must say that the decision… Continue reading Varisu Review | A Big-Budget Daily Soap That Overdid Fan Service
Raangi Review | A Thriller That Mistakes Stupidity for Journalistic Curiosity
Story credit for the movie Raangi is given to director AR Murugadoss. And it takes little time for us to realize why Murugadoss opted not to move forward with this story. The supposed-to-be anti-war movie written and directed by M Saravanan is a colossal mess that misunderstands its central character’s stupidity as a journalistic curiosity.… Continue reading Raangi Review | A Thriller That Mistakes Stupidity for Journalistic Curiosity
Gatta Kusthi Review | Chella Ayyavu’s Movie Offers a Welcome Change to the Rural Drama Template
I watched Gatta Kusthi almost 3 hours after I saw Vijay Sethupathi-starrer DSP. The reason why I am comparing the two films is that they both cater to the same category of audience. While DSP ridicules the intelligence and exposure of the B and C center audience, Gatta Kusthi from Chella Ayyavu is a movie… Continue reading Gatta Kusthi Review | Chella Ayyavu’s Movie Offers a Welcome Change to the Rural Drama Template
DSP Review | A Trashy Mass Masala Film That Takes the Audience for Granted
The first and second half of Ponram’s Vijay Sethupathi starrer DSP is so disjoint that you can look at them as two different films – correction – two different crap films with zero elements of excitement. The writing of this movie goes after anything and everything to stretch the movie’s duration, resulting in a pathetic… Continue reading DSP Review | A Trashy Mass Masala Film That Takes the Audience for Granted
