Kayal (Tamil, 2014)
In Kayal, the vacillating screenplay adds to the pointless story in testing your patience. From Mynaa to Khumki to Kayal, it has been one mighty fall for Prabhu Solomon & one hopes that he can think of other genres to make films on, as he seems to have lost steam with his beloved theme of ‘Unconditional Love’.
Meaghamann Movie Review (Tamil, 2014)
Meaghamann is a watchable action-thriller featuring some captivating stunts & decent plot twists but it could have been much better had more concentration been given to making the film a tad more taut & engaging.
The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies (English, 2014)
The third and supposedly final edition of The Hobbit, with a crisp storyline stunning cinematography and an ensemble cast, is let down by a screenplay that does not know what to concentrate on – whether to live up to the name of the hobbit Bilbo or with the five armies that fight to get Erebor.
Gour Hari Dastaan – The Freedom File (Hindi, 2014)
Gour Hari Dastaan is a film that deserves a wide release for staying so close to the truth yet never being flat or disengaging. The fact that the film was able to arouse the National Spirit of the audience without being ever manipulative or preachy makes it not just award-worthy but National-Award worthy.
Paradesi (Tamil, 2013)
“Grass is always greener on the other side” would befit this grim tale like a sock to foot; iced with right amount of happiness and balanced by a sumptuous share of debauchery & slavery.
