A novel idea has been crafted decently into a full length movie. When almost everything now is taking to the internet, why can’t ghosts? Though the story does half the job, the screenplay conveys the story in such a way that the suspense is maintained till the end and adds value
A Kamal Haasan movie is always a curiosity-kindler, and Uthama Villan is again the perfect fodder for the hunger and passion of any cinema fanatic! Touching areas of immortality, this meta-movie featuring late legend K .Balachander is simply the best tribute Kamal could have paid to his mentor and creator for its perfection in making and class in execution – Now that’s more than enough reason not to miss this one of a kind clinical performance!
Premonitions and Gambling – Vai Raja Vai makes an attempt to blend these two interesting facets which usually capture our imagination, which is made into a wholesome entertaining package with good music, adept acting and loads of humour! Though it might have ended a bit abruptly, the decent pace throughout the movie is something which will keep you engaged – go for it!
Labelling Court as a ‘Realistic courtroom drama’ that raises pertinent questions on the Judiciary would be unfair to the film, for it touches upon diverse topics that extend beyond the courtroom or the streets or our homes. Once you let the film sink in, you realize it touches our minds and the societal apathy that has crept into it.
Deool is a compounded end product of simple elements like innocence, ignorance, sarcasm, selfishness, politics and superstition that is put through a good process. With the execution taking the story home, it’s a hard to miss and intriguing tale of how we are losing out on our cultural values in the greed of modernization.
This movie is just another ghost story built on its tested formulaic story with ample humour. While trying to simply reap the success of its predecessor without making an effort to better itself, it ends up serving the same old cold soup which the audience would rather gulp down and get over with it instead of relishing it – Kanchana 2 is not someone who you would want to meet again!
These days it is pretty easy for any movie with a usual plot to be branded as ‘New wine in an old bottle’. But OK Kanmani for many reasons doesn’t fall into that category. When the lead pair takes the screen by storm and you have some real heavyweights wielding the camera and the microphone, you can bet your money on the entertainment that you are bound to receive. Add the heart-warming BGMs and renditions to the mix, romance just went up a notch!!
1983 is a realistic take on the innocent cricket madness entwined with a pinch of romance and a dash of satire. It is the ultimate coming-of-age story of every Indian cricket fanatic whose dreams of being a cricketer have been bulldozed by one of society, family or tight circumstances.
Detective Byomkesh Bakshi has to cater to two different kinds of audiences -- those who are familiar with Byomkesh and those who aren’t. Dibakar Banerjee has managed to tread that fine line with immense finesse. Detective Byomkesh Bakshy is a must-watch, especially for those who are not smitten by Sherlock Holmes. With a stunning build-up, it keeps you guessing till the very end. It is laced with elements that will make you rack your brains. Watch it for an amazing story and an even better execution.
Stalking can be scary and to get to know that having sex makes evokes an evil stalker destined to kill you – 'It Follows' has just the right kind of base to make one hellish horror movie, but it fails to capitalize on the good work by the technical crew and is driven around borderline normalcy by its confusing execution. What you get is 100 minutes of suspense sans much of fear and turns out to be just another ordinary thriller movie.
