Giant Wheel (Tamil, 2015) | Short Film Review
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.
Over a Chai (Tamil, 2015) | Short Film Review
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 (Tamil, 2015)
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!
Spectre (English, 2015)
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!
X: Past Is Present (Hindi, 2015)
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.
