Darling (Tamil, 2015)
‘Darling’ begins on a funny and mysterious note, but soon embraces the predictable path and loses a lot of venom to wander off to mediocrity. Nevertheless, the humour sprayed all over the movie never lets up and manages to pull itself up to present a decent entertainer!!
Ugly (Hindi, 2014)
Why did Anurag Kashyap christen this lovely film Ugly? Probably to stress that solutions to problems lie not so far from us. Is it valid only for the story or also for the darker side of the human emotion? Even though the former is inspired by real events, keen eyes on this movie will make the latter weigh more!
Nizhal Nijamagirathu (Tamil, 1978)
Nizhal Nijamagirathu is a film that stuns you with its making, casting, characterization, dialogues, & performances. It is all the more impressive that it is still talked given the fact that the film does not have a principal Hero or Heroine character.
The Imitation Game (English, 2015)
The story of Alan Turing deserved to be told! No better way than to take us through the struggles a seemingly abnormal person had to go through to show to the world a seemingly abnormal invention made at the most difficult of times & how the world conveniently and ironically threw him out an ‘outcast’.
December-1 (Kannada, 2014)
Scores of events happen every day in our country - A lot of them concerning politics and politicians. While the media coverage is restricted to the event itself, December-1 is an outstanding effort to capture the ground work leading up to one such event and the impact it could have on the unassuming common men! Throw in a sensitive socio-political backdrop to the mix and you get to watch a truly captivating movie!
