How Vignesh Shivn pulled off a con .. Kaathuvaakl

With Vignesh Shivn as a director, I took notice of Poda Podi, thoroughly enjoyed Naanum Rowdy Thaan, was indifferent to TSK and intrigued by his offering in the anthology Paava Kathaigal. But after watching KRK, I had to revisit the elusive question: what could draw an audience into the theat...Read more

Let's play spot the difference !

I am not a fan of the Imtiaz Ali universe. Like any other filmmaker has had highs and lows, he has had his pattern, favorite motifs and mandatories in his films. So, when this movie dropped on Netflix, I sat with a notepad to play ‘spot the difference’.So here goes: • While its namesake(2008...Read more

Bahubali 2: There was a trilogy in here

The first thing that came to mind was when Rajamouli did create such characters with the scale to back a simple straight forward story, did he ever think of a trilogy.

Noor - Not enlightening enough

While the trailer showed a glimmer of promise, I wasn't entirely convinced. However, wife trumps personal choice(Fast 8). Hence this review.

I must say, I wasn't really looking forward to the music of this movie. Not because I don't like the DON franchise(Huge fan) but simply because the visuals were so arresting, who cares for the music!
