Meelpaarvai (Tamil, 2016) | Short Film Review
Melpaarvai is one insightful attempt that digs into a broken relationship that refuses to [...]
Theri (Tamil, 2016)
Theri attempts to make a point that a clichéd story that has been beaten to death in Tamil cinema, when infused with a big star cast and the right budget can still be made palatable. Despite being predictable from start to finish, the movie has its share of intense moments smartly laced to make it worthwhile!
Kapoor And Sons (Hindi, 2016)
While it is fairly common to have a pleasant or even a shocking family drama, it is extremely rare to see Kapoor & Sons, a thrilling family drama that too in the mainstream space with established actors. The film doesn’t have a protagonist or an antagonist but embraces the differences between characters whole-heartedly giving a fabulous experience as a whole.
Tamasha (Hindi, 2015)
Tamasha is another addition to one of those breezy and light Imtiaz Ali trademark movies; just that it does not create the impact that his old movies did. Slick, power-packed performances by Ranbir & Deepika and A R Rahman’s scores are not enough to hold a crumbling screenplay.
Zootopia (English, 2016)
Disney has played to its strength of showing anthropomorphic mammals having fun on the screen, buts adds a much needed dimension of relevance to the real world with this movie that strikes that quintessential balance while retaining oodles of fun and entertainment!
Hello Naan Pei Pesuren (Tamil, 2016)
'Hello Naan Pei Pesuren', is a dated, atrocious film running on wafer-thin plot with few routine horror set-pieces! The film is only bearable due to the heavy humour quotient helmed by the inimitable ‘VTV’ Ganesh.
Thozha (Tamil, 2016)
Thozha is a crowd-pleasing emotional drama that sticks to its core pretty well without deviating much into the so-called commercial elements. Watch it for Nagarjuna’s stellar performance, Karthi’s spontaneity & Prakashraj’s class!
Sawaari (Tamil, 2016)
Sawaari belong to the suspense-road-thriller genre; something that is not attempted often in Indian cinema and not a successful genre too. However, Sawaari’s sharp writing and rip-roaring background score keeps you hooked for the most part and masks the lack of budget convincingly.
Airlift (Hindi, 2016)
Airlift in all its essence is like a well-oiled machine. With a gripping real-life story and a narrative as nail biting as it can get, it is surely a winner, for it has all the essentials that a thriller needs.
Bus 657 (or) Heist (English, 2016)
‘Bus 657’ feels like one of those impromptu rides take with no clue about the destination to be reached, mostly due to an impoverished story line and partly due to misfit casting – one clueless journey into obscurity!
