Yeidhavan (Tamil, 2017)
Yeidhavan is another one of the promising ventures that loses steam towards the end primarily due to too much of spoon feeding via dialogues. Still it is a watchable film from debutant Sakthi Rajasekaran, Kalaiarasan and Team.
Jai Mata Di (Hindi, 2017) | Short Film Review
A young couple is being shown a fully furnished house in Mumbai by a broker who waxes lyrical about the housing society and how neighbors are never a problem as everybody has their own business to mind. As decision time beckons we see the differing perspectives of the couple and the fact that they are in a live-in relationship. Out of nowhere, the broker says the society doesn’t allow live-in couples. Of course, we don’t see the lady breaking into a song to impress the association head à la Ok Kanmani. The broker instead proposes an idea to solve their problem. And what an idea it is!
Ondu Motteya Kathe (Kannada, 2017)
In an age where content-driven movies are hard to come by and humor usually means double entendre, Ondu Motteya Kathe is a welcome change and has not just a simple and strong story line but also some intense individual performances and shrewd direction. It does take guts to make a movie out of a situation that one come across in everyday life but it take some real astuteness to sell it as a product and convince the audience. Raj B Shetty checks these boxes!!
