‘Naan Sigappu Manidhan’ review

[su_highlight background="#ff999e"]Family friendly – No[/su_highlight]

Almost a Pandiya Naadu sequel, both in terms of how these movies have re-invented David going after Goliath and Vishal hitting these roles out of the park. Great to see a thirsty underdog getting his due.

Even with marketing this film, NSM is smart in targeting a certain demographic and unapologetically satiating them. Be it…

‘Vaayai Moodi Pesavum’ review

  Balaji Mohan has this amazing talent to spot a simple yet relevant social malice, then dive into the depths with his skillful screenwriting, and captivate us for hours with stories that is never far from our daily lives. He’s proved again that he’s one of us, who can step up to the screen and narrate our story. Vaayai Moodi Pesavum may not work the way Kadhalil Sodhapuvadhu Yeppadi did, but in…

‘Thenaliraman’ review

Terrible exercise of slapping the wrong actor on a good script kills a great political satire/historical film and Vadivelu’s much-awaited return from his hiatus. The tragedy of the movie Thenaliraman is how, with a different actor, it could have been an more enjoyable entertainer. To top it off, Vadivelu ventures into unchartered territory, abandoning his kind of comedy established routines for a…

‘Maan Karate’ review

Tamil films today can lean on producers who are willing and daring to make movies that would have been un-produceable, just a decade ago. Trouble though, is they seem to rely completely on elevator pitches and nothing beyond; at least that’s the feeling you get when you see half-baked scripts being turned over to us.

At its core ‘Maan Karate’ is an apt and sound slap on the face for a generation…

‘Inam’ review

A moving yet challenging movie to watch. ‘Inam’ is deeply philosophical and demands a lot from its audience; quiet deservedly so. What else would you expect from a story inspired by the children who endured the Sri Lankan war. Sivan is not a director who hurries his film. He adopts the same slow-burn meditative pace he did very well with ‘The Terrorist‘. The first half teases you with abstract…
