In bringing out the struggle that the people of Kashmir faced with the AFSPA and twining it with the plot of Hamlet, Vishal Bharadwaj has managed to take a path less known to not only bring out the realities, but also hold the viewers in its essence and undulations! Haider will remain long to be spoken about for its depiction!
With great hype comes greater burden of meeting expectations – ‘Yaan’ falls prey to this adage as it flounders at the start and fails to keep on its feet as it is dealt several body blows due to a weak script, poor execution and ill-advised knots in the storyline. A good one to give a miss!
For most of us it’s just a wall – For some it’s an identity. When the fight for identity breaks out from the confinements of individual desires, there can’t be neutrals. ‘Madras’ is a uniquely presented tale of a neutral person who is forced to take a side, presented in a natural yet impactful style!
Suseenthiran shows that even the so-called clichés can be crafted to one’s advantage & his non-manipulative handling of emotions makes Jeeva, a gripping MUST-WATCH drama.
Cuisses de Grenouille or Kabab??? Bouillabaisse or Tandoori Chicken??? This is what The hundred-foot Journey is all about – It is a splendid, mouth-watering recipe laced with emotions, (s)plattered with love, stuffed with fun and deep-fried in multi-cultural diversity that gets better with every passing frame and ends up providing you the pleasure of indulging in a really good movie.
The concept of dowry harassment has been dealt with in a unique fashion and the crew of Daawat-e-ishq can be patted on their shoulders for their effort. Despite an average story, Daawat-e-Ishq offers for a palatable watch for its screenplay centred around love through fine acting & of course, tasty food!
A super-cop, a dreaded don, a gorgeous heroine, a high-comic quotient and the hero avenging the death of this brother – sounds more like a movie from the 80s, huh??? Aagadu isn’t a movie that promises you a lot different from the other commercial products of this genre – yet this isn’t one that can be missed. Sit back and be prepared to be entertained.
This is one riotous comedy that is also brave enough to take on the most notorious scandals to rock the nation in the recent years. Though devoid of a great story line, the kind of treatment provided ensures that the audience get their money’s worth. Pure and uncompromising fun makes this a great watch without a doubt!
Decently made horror comedies always give good return on investment. In this case with Sundar.C at the helm, expectedly, the comedy portions score over the horror sequences. On the whole, Aranmanai is a watchable entertainer with a straightforward plot, oozing glamour & hilarious one-liners.
The film vividly captures the contrasting nature of forests - its superficial beauty & the dangerous powers seen as one goes deep inside and connects that beautifully with how humans based in contrasting setups can still share a deep-rooted bonding.
