‘Mahabalipuram’ turns out to be an ordinary attempt at making a movie that aims to create awareness on anti-social elements lurking too close for recognition, but struggles to put the message out due to lousy execution and fails to create the desired impact and gets lost somewhere out there to end up being a no show!
With apt casting, perfect pacing & casual realistic dialogues, Rajathanthiram is a compactly made thriller with a heist at its fulcrum, that needs to be hailed for sticking only to the main plot & never compromising for the so called ‘commercial considerations’.
‘I am Kalam’ is not just about the outwardly feel-good factor generated out of an underdog braving the odds, but also a social commentary of the rich-poor divide existing in India, told in an entertaining fashion.
JK is not only a movie that showcases a life changing experience for a normal young man with enough emotions and loads of optimism, it is the dawn of a new medium of entertainment – C2H that seeks to break the traditions and monopoly in cine biz! It is the perfect choice to launch the platform as JK is that kind of a movie which no one from any age group can hate – a truly emotional family entertainer!
Coffee Bloom, is a tale of relationships (of mother-son, husband-wife, dejected loner-married ex-lover) with a parallel track on nature, that succeeds in evoking nostalgia while still being modern in its handling.
Enakkul Oruvan manages to bring to K-town, a well-written Lucia and its little gem of a message in an appreciative fashion thanks to a fine technical/casting team and a sparkling performance from its protagonist.
Call it overambitious or plain inability to make it large, Kaaki Sattai never reaches that point where it can command respect despite earnest efforts from the technical crew. It meanders along mediocrity for most of the time before fading away with not much to offer!
Baby has some gripping on-screen elements that prove Neeraj Pandey has continued with the rich vein of form he showed in his first two films. Baby is a mature, street-smart movie that should win all hearts alike.
Anegan initially takes us to dizzying heights with an interesting premise defined by fresh ideas loaded admirably on to the back of a female lead but when all of this takes backstage & the film takes a commercial route, disappointment hits & hits you hard because the fall is from quite a height.
‘Mr Turner’ is a masterfully made biopic on J. M. W. Turner bound to appeal to fans of the art works from the early 19th Century. Superior cast performance and sincere dedication from the technical team are responsible to transport us back in time to see Mr Turner come to life, literally – truly a deserving artistic depiction!
