Raja Harishchandra

Raja Harishchandra – Got to watch the first ever movie of Indian Cinema (May 13, 1913). Was inspired by it. Although 20 min footage in between was missing but I could see what a visionary and an artist Dadasaheb Phalke was. The movie was shot mainly in outdoor. Every scene was sculptured in a way

Alex Pandian

Alex Pandian – An out and out movie made with commercial intent. It does not go on any logic but tried to ride on the star values of the lead actors. Unfortunately it doesn’t work well and you might come out disappointed Can Skip it

Ameerin Aadhi Baghavan

Ameerin Aadhi Baghavan – very average outing for Ameer… He seems to have been distracted too much in the filming of the movie… It starts with the promise of a action packed gangster flick and in the build up phase goes all over the place…. The movie’s production quality is very good… Very promising for
