I'm not a critic

Talaash

Talaash – Reema Kagti has done a very nice job … Kudos to her and Zoya to not to have carried away with Aamir’s star value but stay on track with the story… The script is very engaging.. With movies having an anticlimax you might either love it or hate it… Depends on how convinced

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

OMG

OMG – A well made satire script after a long time… It is very compelling and leaves one with a question to answer on blind faith… Taken directly out of the Marathi play this definitely makes an interesting watch… Paresh Rawal has done a great job… Must Watch

Skyfall

Skyfall – Bond is back… This time defeating death… The movie is very engaging throughout… Though there are sequences which you might have seen in many movies performed by other heroes… Watching Bond do it is refreshing… It definitely out scores the previous two movies… Must Watch – For Bond Fans

Ayalum Njanum Thammil

Ayalum Njanum Thammil – keeps the audience engaged and maintains the curiosity till the end… The non linear narration has been effectively used to maintain the interest levels of the audience till the end for a plot otherwise would have been biographical… Watchable

Maatraan

Maattraan – If you go with a checklist that you would want to see in a KV Anand flick, stunning visuals, different plot, pacy script, bar song, twist in the plot… you would come with everything checked… a decent entertainer… but still stereotypical for KV Anand and Surya..  If you compare it with Ko you

English Vinglish

English Vinglish – a breezy feel good entertainer… Goes through the identity crisis of a home maker… Sridevi has acted very well … She portrays the middle class home maker who has to establish her identity in the family by learning to speak in English… The movie has its moments of laughter, moments of emotion,

Barfi!

Barfi! – is served with the right mix of ingredients and it melts right in the heart… A very pleasant movie with a simple plot lightened up by the characters and some brilliant narration… Must Watch

The Dark Knight Rises

The Dark Knight Rises: A very impressive conclusion to the trilogy… By far the best trilogy I have seen… It’s hard to deliver when the expectations are high, Nolan has surpassed it… The screenplay, music, visuals, acting the movie scores well all round… Must Watch

The Amazing Spiderman

The Amazing Spiderman – Spiderman story retold… This time they have tried to stay more closer to the comic… If you are expecting something amazing then you would be disappointed… Otherwise it’s a nice watch… The movie is bit dark throughout and slow as well… They could have increased the pace bit which might have

Ferrari Ki Sawaari

Ferrari Ki Sawaari – A breezy entertainer, has the stamp of a movie from Vidhu Vinod chopra’s production… All positive innocent characters… Faced with a situation that could be life changing and they give their heart and soul to it… I felt for the concept the movie could have been a bit short… But still
