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
Agilan Review | An Incoherent Mess With a Bizarre Story
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

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.
