Pelli Choopulu (Telugu, 2016)
Pelli Chooplu is one of the refreshing romantic comedies to come out in recent times and it shines due to the way template scenes have been staged wonderfully and handles complex emotions without too much melodrama.
Sthreepart (Tamil, 2016) | Short Film Review
Sthreepart is an ambitious short film that talks primarily about the various types of women documented in literature and the way women are forced to react to dominating men. At 40 minutes long, the short film is quite engaging in spite of cutting across various time frames cleverly moving the story forward constantly.
Joker (Tamil, 2016)
A vital point to be noted with 'Joker' is the resoluteness of the maker & the producer in not bending to the rules and naming the film in Tamizh for claiming tax exemption in Tamil Nadu. That courage shines throughout the film in the plot, dialogues and the performances giving a wonderful output on screen!
Jason Bourne (English, 2016)
Jason Bourne doesn’t come with a compelling narrative which lessens the overall impact considerably but the no-nonsense main track of the film with its pulsating action blocks (except the climax) save the film and let it tick the 'Action Entertainer' box.
Wagah (Tamil, 2016)
The setup is new for a Tamil film but much more could have been done with it than using it to take us through a pretty lame love-at-first-sight story & attempting us to rile over and loath the Pakistan Army – which in itself is depicted as a bunch of inept, unprofessional local thugs.
