Official Trailer: [SPOILERS AHEAD…] The story is a simple, a father takes revenge on the guys who assaulted his daughter. What sets this movie apart is how the movie is built. It comes across as a picture puzzle where you have to put together the pieces to view the full picture. In Maharaja we get precision engineered segments like Lego blocks. They are given to us in a non-linear fashion.
When I heard the news about Uma Ramanan, the first song that popped out of my memory is Aananda Raagam from the movie Panneer Pushpangal. Then the other songs flooded out. Songs make us remember events from our life. Songs from late 70s and 80s always take me to my hostel days at Guindy engineering college and bus rides between Madurai – Virudhunagar and Madurai – Chinnamanur. Our mess eating
Official Trailer: Similar to Kadaisi Vivasayi, Koozhangal is a movie hard to describe in words and has to be experienced. If you love cinemas that are about life and closer to reality don’t miss this. The storyline is a simple one, a young boy travels with his violent and alcoholic father to bring back his mother, who has run away from home due to father’s abuse. But there is so
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
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
[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
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
