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
Prince Review | Post-interval, This Sivakarthikeyan Starrer Is a Clueless Drag
There is a particular style of counter-dialogue comedy that you expect in every Sivakarthikeyan movie, which is somewhere between the cringe and funny zone. Anudeep’s new movie Prince, starring Sivakarthikeyan, starts off with that typical style you associate with the star. But this romantic comedy runs out of ideas in the second half and what… Continue reading Prince Review | Post-interval, This Sivakarthikeyan Starrer Is a Clueless Drag
Sardar Review | An Underwhelming Spy-Thriller That Tries Hard to Be a Star Vehicle
In the introduction sequence of Karthi in the movie Sardar, there is a line the character says about his social media persona. He says something like he wants to set a template rather than being in an already set template. But frankly, when you finish watching Sardar, you might want to tell both PS Mithran… Continue reading Sardar Review | An Underwhelming Spy-Thriller That Tries Hard to Be a Star Vehicle
Ponniyin Selvan: I
For those of you who are absolutely alien to Ponniyin Selvan, let me tell you two things. The language of the movie is pretty hard, and the character pool is huge. I am saying this because I was unfortunate to see this movie with an audience who came for the film as if to watch… Continue reading Ponniyin Selvan: I
Naane Varuvean
In Naane Varuvean, Dhanush, as a writer, tries to cover up the flatness in the story by uniquely placing the conflict. And with Selvaraghavan’s eccentric style of filmmaking, the storytelling becomes much more visual than verbal. Yes, there are areas where the movie takes too much cinematic liberty to make things convenient for the story.… Continue reading Naane Varuvean
