Poriyaalan (Tamil, 2014)
Set amidst the shady world of real-estate brokers & money lenders, Poriyalan is a realistic film that is worthy of a watch thanks to the impressive acting from the veterans & the intricate plot.
Mardaani (Hindi, 2014)
Mardaani is definitely not for the ‘Chulbul Pandey’ and ‘Bajirao Singham’ junkies, but for those who want the pleasure of watching a nice and powerful cop flick without the superfluous elements. This is absolutely worth a trip to the theatres.
Megha (Tamil, 2014)
Megha remains true to its name, at being a murky attempt to mix a potentially successful love story with mystery thriller ingredients to deliver a poorly executed movie which simply does not do enough to interest this impatient age!
Irumbu Kuthirai (Tamil, 2014)
With a good one-liner & interesting setting, Irumbu Kuthirai could have become a trend-setting action flick but the lack of a cohesive & engaging script prevents it from becoming so and it ends sadly on a whimper.
Salim (Tamil, 2014)
Salim is one among us; a model citizen who wants to show the world that there is nothing one shouldn’t do to remain true to one’s nature. For that he undergoes a makeover which makes for a truly gripping and engaging experience bundled with loads of classy and sizzling moments!
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (English, 2014)
This is indeed a completely revamped version of the Ninjas that we were used to watching in the 90’s. Yet, it isn’t quite the best either as we can sit back and enjoy the lively moments while trying hard to pass muster over the not so interesting pieces of the presentation.
Revolver Rani (Hindi, 2014)
Kangana sizzles but the film on the whole is a total disappointment without enough firepower to carry on the good work at the start and inevitably peters out to be the bullet that you want to bite.
The Expendables 3 (English, 2014)
This definitely is not a movie made for making it to the Academy Awards. If you know what the franchise is all about, you aren’t in for a rude shock with this perfectly predictable sequel. It is one of those solid-fun-action movies with a lot of dissolute fragments but the worthy ones provide a sense of equilibrium and hold the plot together.
Kathai Thiraikathai Vasanam Iyakkam (Tamil, 2014)
In recent times, seldom has this often repeated line of ‘Taking Tamil Cinema to the next level’ been associated with a veteran like Parthiban. When such a personality daringly rolls up his sleeves & reinvents himself to present an engaging tale, what more can we ask for!
Anjaan (Tamil, 2014)
Given all the hype with the fresh hero-heroine pairing and a mouth-watering combination of a bankable commercial star & a proven commercial director, Anjaan disappoints on a Himalayan scale. It is mind-boggling to visualize how the experienced duo of Surya & Lingusamy believed in this script in the first place.
