The short film brings out a different angle about the socio economic issues surrounding the plight of farmers in our country and does it quite well. It also subtly highlights the politics, hypocrisy, the subconscious actions of the society that worsens their condition and the failure to get to the roots of the issue before embarking on protests.
The overall idea behind the short is something very contemporary & there are loads of folks who would be able to relate to it. It is generally a challenge to make a conversation based single-location short, with just 2 characters, engaging.
Uppu Karuvadu works primarily as it has the audacity to cast actors in unconventional roles putting them in unusual situations & letting them mouth dialogues that seem natural. All this set in the midst of a premise-conflict-resolution template means fun film overall!
A typically charismatic Bond, frenetic action, stylized villains – now that’s what we get to see in any other action movie nowadays. The surprises, the intensity and the unforgettable endings that separated the Bond legacy from the others to carve a niche are sorely missed as ‘Spectre’ looks more of an ordinary, uninspiring and jaded action flick!
That X: Past is Present is one a kind of film is undeniable, but for all its endeavour in arriving at a core idea that reveals itself through multiple segments, artistes & crews, it is an experiment that has failed in the prime purpose of every film which is a engaging the audience throughout the narrative.
In today’s world, movies usually can satisfy either the critics or commerce. But when there is a movie, that can adroitly balance both these immoderations and doesn’t test the intelligence of the audience, it can be marked as one-of-a-kind - Thoongavanam falls into that category. Flicks like these are the ones that no true cinema watcher can ever miss or contemplate to overlook. The Director needs to be applauded for not giving into the modern-day temptation of slicing in some redundant commercial elements. Thoongavanam, blends a massive star-cast with some fast-paced screenplay and elegant storytelling to produce a superlative flick that can unquestionably not be missed.
Vedhalam starts out with harmless sparks with feel good performances from the lead cast, but a flurry of supercharged acting from Ajith sets the tone for a good entertaining experience that overshadows the superfluous content to lay out a sparkling feast this festive season!
Titli is not your average Bollywood drama, but something more mature for it features raw emotions and bold situations that are usually swept under the carpet. Armed with an impressive story, marshalled by skilled direction and driven by powerful acting - Titli is made tough enough.
In Talvar, Meghna Gulzar & Vishal Bharadwaj have taken up the true story of a horrific double-murder case and cinematically presented a compelling bold thriller. It is vital to take note that the film has gone beyond just entertaining and succeeded in bringing national focus to a murky incident.
Sicario is a great example of how even a film with a straight-forward plot can be made suspenseful with detailing & an apt use of Camera, Music, Editing, debate-evoking dialogues involving contrasting characters that have a sense of intrigue about them
