Despite the visual appeal courtesy of stellar shows from the art, cinematography and costume departments, the lack of a purposeful narrative fails to back them up with the mediocre execution making Jackson Durai a grand mess!
'Enakku Innoru Per Iruku' belongs to the 'mindless comedy' genre which is saved by the plethora of strong supporting actors delivering gag after gag which work most of the times.
Udta Punjab is an extremely well made mainstream film that deals with the drug-addiction epidemic plaguing the state of Punjab. The way the drug-smuggling mafia is unraveled amidst the travel of a 4 varied characters across Punjab without any loss of the engagement factor, shows the strong writing behind the core theme.
Metro is a riveting crime thriller where good writing and technical wizardry overcome some amateur performances by the protagonist and the antagonist.
Godhi Banna Sadharana Mykattu is an emotional thriller that is saved by the veterans, Anant Nag & Achyutha Kumar with Sruthi Hariharan also chipping in ably. Had the acting & editing been tauter, it would have engaged a lot more.
Lens is well-intentioned independent film that is technically & thematically rich while it depicts voyeurism in digital space. It could have been much more hard-hitting had the language been chosen as Tamizh rather than English.
Films like Sairat that are thematically and cinematically rich are rare. The hype associated with the film fueled by both the critics & audience is certainly justified. It is extremely refreshing to see the Indian audience embrace such a film full of fresh-faces whole-heartedly. Do not miss this in THEATRES!
The hilarious comedy that is strewn all over the movie is powerful enough to make the audience to forget the average execution of a timeworn and incredibly thin story line, while they are busy laughing their lungs out – a proven modus operandi that is bound to succeed!
If Iraivi can be likened to an Onion, the core layers of it have enough juice in them to make your eyes (senses) cringe & root for the women in it but how much you root for them is impeded by its prominent and contrived outer layers, much like the outer layers of onion that are functionless.
‘Uriyadi’ is a one-of-a-kind hard hitting and gutsy movie aimed at creating a thriller that builds equal portions of intrigue and suspense with some clear thoughts going into the making - a veracious attempt that respects the intelligence of the audience!
