Sundarapandian

Sundarapandian – A run of the mill commercial entertainer. There is nothing special or unique about the movie. The narration style is very simple, funny in parts and stays on track of the plot without wavering too much. Local bus travel is plays a prominent part in the movie. For those of you who had

Soodhu Kavvum

Soodhu Kavvum – Its encouraging to see new directors handling good slap stick comedy script.

Bombay Talkies

Bombay Talkies – A perfect bouquet of four stories from four great film makers of the present… It’s a tribute to 100 years of Indian Cinema. It is anecdotes of lives of people, their challenge and how they deal with it… All the directors have dealt with subject which they wouldnt have dealt with in

Hitchcock

Hitchcock – an engaging drama on the life of Hitchcock and his relationship with his wife during the making of one of his greatest epic Psycho. Well written screenplay and you feel yourself being part of the sets, the public and Hitchcock’s household during the making of the movie… Antony Hopkins has done a wonderful

Kadal

Kadal – Very philosophical, the movie’s promotion has spoilt its box office run. Audience had come to the theaters expecting a breezy romantic drama like Alaipayuthe but ended watching a soul searching story and a fight between the Evil and the Good in one’s self and how love helps in overcoming the evil in thyself.

Cloud Atlas

Cloud Atlas – Brilliant story about how the liberation of individuals from their current crisis are inspired by the actions of individuals in the past present and future. The directors have stuck to non linear narration to narrate stories in six different eras. It is complicated and tests the ability of the audience to keep

Jack Reacher

Jack Reacher – Movie based on the book One Shot by Lee Child. Five shots on one target and a undoubted suspect arrested… When the police think there is nothing much left in the case Jack Reacher sees what others haven’t… The rest of the movie is about how he unravels the mystery… It’s a

Dabangg 2

Dabangg 2 – A predictable sequel to Dabangg recreates magic in parts…. It’s very difficult to make sequel of a blockbuster as there is always a confusion on what to retain and what to leave from the previous version… What worked for Arbaaz is retaining the masala cop image of Robin Hood Pandey and his

Life of Pi

Life of Pi – its difficult to convert a literature with a philosophical theme into a successful screenplay… Ang Lee and team has done the best in bringing Pi ‘s magical journey to life… From the French influenced Pondicherry, the perilous storm in the ocean, the serene ocean life all captured and represented very beautifully…

Thuppaki

Thuppakki – overloaded with entertainment… Murugadoss doesn’t fail to entertain the audience with a different plot and storyline… He could have avoided the unnecessary scenes added to please vijay fans… The bold move he had done with Vijayakanth in Ramana worked wonders… He should believe in this more… Having said that… but for the dragging
