Kadaisi Vivasayi: There are movies to be experienced and hard to describe it in words. Like Rashomon, 2001: Space Odyssey, Mad Max: Fury Road, The Killer (by David Fincher). Kadaisi Vivasayi is one of those. Kadaisi Vivasayi is not an action movie like Mad Max: Fury Road. It falls in different side of the spectrum but as a cinema the experience is similar. If you love cinemas that are about
Love Today: Girl, Nikitha, breaks the news to dad. Dad wants to meet the boy, Uthaman. Dad agrees to the marriage on one condition: Uthaman and Nikitha need to exchange their phones for a day. Do they really know each other? They have nothing to hide, right? This is an interesting premise. Full of potential and great material for the writer and director to explore. Unfortunately, idea that looks good
Two movies. One packages a good cinema while giving space to the heroisms. Second one fails to impress as a cinema but scores in tugging our hearts with its core message of humanity. Ayothi: Ignore the flaws this is a movie highly needed for the current India we live in 👏 Looking at the name I feared the movie is a Saami Padam, a movie about God. What a pleasant
Official Trailer: Movies about assassins are always intriguing and captivating if they are well made…Day of the Jackal, Collateral, The Killer (John Woo), No Country for Old Men, Nikita, Munich to call out a few. Well written villains and bad guys are more exciting to watch than the heroes 😀 Director David Fincher is not new to this domain. He has given us Zodiac, Seven, and Mindhunter which are about
Yeraatha Malai song: Listening to Malaysia Vasudevan’s songs collection the other day brought back old memories. My wife and I started discussing his memorable numbers, range, and emotion. Discussion led to topic of movies where his voice elevated the movie and the first movie that came to our mind was Muthal Mariyathai. So, we decided to watch the movie over the weekend. I had watched the movie first time during
Finally caught up with these two Korean movies from my watch list. Both are on the recommended list of many of the movie critics. Do they fall under mainstream or cult, I am not sure. I am not a big fan of slotting a movie into arty, cult, or mainstream. I go by, did the movie work for me or not. Did the director succeed on what he or she
[SPOILERS AHEAD…] Official Trailer: How does it feel to watch continuously 15 10-minutes porn movies stitched together with the intent of getting a release every 10mts? Jailer feels like one, going from one mass scene to another every 15mts with no plot. No effort to make a connection between the scenes. There is no build-up to the action. The only connection is Rajni. I guess the assumption makers have made
One of my favorite thought experiments is to replay a famous movie with genders flipped and wonder how the movie would have been received. For example, take a movie like Chinna Veedu. Flip the gender of the lead characters. Or movies like Sindhu Bairavi or Mudhal Mariadhai? All these 3 famous Tamil movies are about a guy falling in love with other women while being married. Now that you get
Official Trailer: In the hands of a good director, even a generic serial killer story can become an engaging thriller drama. Por Thozhil is one of those movies. With a clear vision, directors, Vignesh Raja and T.Senthil Paramasivam, narrate the story crisply, don’t digress with unnecessary scenes, and maintain a good momentum building to the tense climax. Movie opens with two cops on night patrol. The topic of conversation between
Official Trailer: In Pariyerum Perumal, Maari Selvaraj explored the struggles of an individual, a college going student, who faced discrimination from the oppressor castes. The writing was organic with interesting characters. The antagonist, the girl’s father, was one of the well-developed characters in Kollywood movies. We got a peek into his state of mind, the peer pressure he faces, the need to conform to the community, oscillating between the caste
