I'm not a critic

Shangai

Shanghai – very gripping investigation drama with political back drop… Though not an out and out commercial entertainer it has the ability to glue the multiplex audience to their seats… The story is the hero where every character is etched well to make it flow… Watchable

Madagascar 3: Europe’s most wanted

Madagascar 3: Europe’s most wanted is yet another Madagascar series… Scores better than 2 in many parts but still fails to create the magic like the first one. The movie is brilliant in parts like the chasing sequence in Monte Carlo… And dragging in a few… Overall you could watch it once… Kids would love

Azhagar Saamiyin Kuthirai

Azhagar Saamiyin Kuthirai – got to watch it on TV. A very nice movie set in the rural India in the early 80’s.The movie revolves around a simple incident that means a lot to the village and finally solves all the knots sending out a powerful message against superstition, caste-ism and demonstrates human values as

Kahaani

Kahaani – complete satisfaction of seeing a Indian thriller after a long time. Kolkatta city during Durga pooja is captured so well and is a vital part in the movie… Vidya Balan continues her performance and has the ability to take the script just by herself… A must watch…

Kadhalil Sodhapuvadhu Eppadi

Kadhalil Sodhapuvadhu Eppadi – A decent attempt in making a short film into a full length movie. Certain movies need to be kept precise this is one of it. The first half is too lengthy and dragging… Although nth adoption of Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus it is still worth the

Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola

Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola – Vishal Bharadwaj has been very successful in tickling the funny bones …. Unlike Kaminey the movie revolves around a social issue… It is a well made satire with talented ensemble casts, brilliant music and engaging screenplay. If you can understand the Haryanvi hindi you would enjoy it even better…

Mayakkam Enna

Mayakkam Enna – Selvaraghavan is back on his home ground and hits a six… It has all the ingredients of Selva’s movie mixed well… The background score is the soul of the movie… First half belongs to Dhanush and second half to Richa… Her character makes a remarkable impact at the end… A job done

Ezham Arivu

Ezham Arivu – worth a watch entertainer with commendable performance by Suriya and able direction from Murugadoss. “India had a rich cultural heritage and people not only excelled in arts but also in science. However this has been lost over many invasions and forgotten” has been the message. However this gets diverted by too much

Muran

Muran – said to be inspired by Hitchcock, fails to engage completely due to the length of the movie.. A different approach than many other movies should be lauded but fails to create an impact…. Wait for DVD/TV

Mere Brother Ki Dulhan

Mere Brother Ki Dulhan – yet another romantic comedy flick … all ingredients for a romantic comedy are mixed in the right proportion… If you are a fan of romantic comedy  watch it … It would make a good watch on TV Wait for DVD/TV

Mankatha

Mankatha – good casting, decent plot but poor execution. The scenes are too long and slow for a movie of this genre and too many twists spoil the fun… But for Ajith doing a baddie there is nothing in the movie… “Don’t gimme any more!” Can Skip it
