New theme tried out in Srilankan Cinema history
24 June 2023
It is a successful effort by director mr. Jayantha chandrasiri to address his audience with a theme connected to hypnotic trance and discuss about beauty of the human mind. Though we have seeen similar themes in hollywood and south indian cinema, this is the first time srilankan cinema fans get such an experience. In case we can even called it as a psychological Thriller.

All actors and actressess on main characters live in the theme and perform well. Few Overacting scenes but overall movie is close to reality.

Music is exceptional to match the two era.

I was expecting a wow effect at end, but for a certain extend it was missing. Definitely recommend to watch the movie at cinema hall.

Forensic (2022)
5/10
Cant beat Malayalam original
25 September 2022
Simply it is not up to the standards when you compare with Malayalam original film..

What i personally feel is in original film, vast area covering by Tovino thomas acting is missing in here. Radhika giving an full effort to the film but i think it is a down for her carreer compare to other films. And alsi she is not good looking to the police officer uniform.

Director somehow managed to twist thr characters in the film which is a positive to the story. Introduction of new equipment in forensic is somewhat interesting. Music is not that much atractive.

But still there is thrill and good for who did not watch the original.

Shiddat (2021)
7/10
Silly but hit hard on your heart
29 October 2021
Warning: Spoilers
A story about crazy one side love do whatever it takes to reach and win the heart of his girl.

At many points you will feel the boy is very silly but shiddat(Passion) keeps him ticking till the last effort.

It is full of romance till the last 5minutes and at last fall apart. Great acting by all four main characters. More credits to them.

Music and songs are ideal for the theme. Overall ut is a good effort.

Successful Sci-fi horror
27 October 2021
The concept is new and believable. Extreme horror generating through out the movie. Curiosity at its best. Music is suspense and cinematography is ideal. All together it gives a successful sci-fi horror fill with thriller.

Indrans at his best
27 October 2021
Good combination of writing, directing,music, make up and acting. All in exact composition.

Indrans did his best. You will get tears in the eye at some place due to very sensitive acting by indrans.

Only weakness i got here is that timeframe is too long. If it could have shartned to two hours it could be a solid pack. Anyhow if you wish to enjoy a movie with your family this is it. Go for it.

Hard thinking science fiction
27 October 2021
It is not a pop corn or something sweet. Just over and over same scenes happening so if you not ready for it you will not enjoy the movie.

The movie is about different versions of same person in ralated to parellel universes. Each one of us get connected and all our decision making get linked to our infinite versions of others.

If love to explore science theories and think hard while watching and think again after watching then go for it.

Too many things
27 October 2021
Director tries out too many things and all happening so fast which is difficult to catch by audience. Not so fascinating. Anyhow it is a new idea on adventure and hope on next part it will get better.

Lift (III) (2021)
4/10
Foolish effort
15 October 2021
Rather than focusing on Lift, it has so many unnecessary stories fills with overacting. The name itself not matching to the film.

The curiosity kills which audience expect in this kind of a movie with a plain explaination at last. And horror is ending with a funny dance.

Movie could have been shorten with cutting out unnecessary scenes.

Finally it is not delivering what you expect.

Script keep you tight even though film fill with sign language
12 October 2021
When it comes to hearing impaired theme it is always connected with sign language. In here also most of the film runs on sign language. But unlike other films, this particular film keep you tight to your seat and no boring at all. So the full credits must go to script, direction and all the crew.

It is a really nice story with a message of social awareness.

Simple but thrilling
11 October 2021
It is a very simple science fiction which is not so diificult to understand. But it keep your thrill. Predictable but no boring at all. I found the movie is interesting and director tries to build the story out of box.

I think the effort should deserve more ratings than which i see here.

Village sport nicely brought to a script
11 October 2021
It is positive and different in the section of the Drama, Sport. It is not easy to build such a script to catch the audience. But director of this gilm did it nicely.

Art directon and make up of artists bring back us to era of 70's and it feels tome that i sit on the front row seat in village boxing circle.

Good effort overall.

Shiva Baby (2020)
5/10
Sudden ending is disappointing
11 October 2021
Warning: Spoilers
A student and a sugar daddy lies to each other about their real life. Suddnly they meets in a Shiva and their secrets start to reveal. The film is about How both of them face each other trough this embarrassing moment and what goes through their minds.

It is not a usual comedy. There is a kind of humour in it. Pretty cool flow. But suddenly it encounter disappointed ending.

Dear Comrade (2019)
6/10
Easy flow
11 October 2021
At the beginning of the movie it is struggled to take in to right direction. But after 30mins movie settled down and follow easy flow.

It is a beutiful love story where majority of success covered by beautiful Rashmika Mandana. Music and songs not that much romantic. That is a minus to this kind of movie.

Ending is very good. Very sensitive dialogs shakesyour heart.

Bellbottom (2021)
5/10
Kill the thriller after 20 minutes
26 September 2021
First 20 minutes runs absolutely fine. It gives us a hope of great hijack/ hostage movie. But after sometimes movie take turn over to describe the protaganist history of incidents which kill the thriller. Rather than it gives some action on air, it start to be a boring biography film which includes forcefully insered two songs.

It is a failure as an action/ thriller movie. But earn some credits as a drama. Lara dutta as Indira ghandhi is an awsome work of make up artisit. Except that the movie is just neutral.

Old (2021)
7/10
Fresh Theme
21 September 2021
It is close to the plot in Fantacy island last year 2020. As same result in fantacy island, i can see here in 'Old' also low rating by fans.

The film deserve more. First for the fresh concept, then the nice location set, and last the message it gives about the life.

The film metaphor the message that enjoy the every moment of life rather than finding ways to runaway from it.

The scientific experiment part somewhat silly. I think it might better if director leaves the reason as a mistery.

If you looking for fresh theme to refresh yourself go for it.

Quota (2020)
5/10
Not up to the standard
13 September 2021
It suppose to be inspirational but all along the movie lost it path and suddenly in last 30 minutes tries to wrap everything.

A movie like this suppose to heart touching by dialogs and also screenplay. But the output in this film here is poor and not up to the standard.

The film wasted so much time on the shoe scene and lost some good time.

Paari's acting is good but not the best. His sister is doing better than him. The parents part is reasonable. Except that all other characters in the film is a waste.

Slow thriller slow killer
5 September 2021
The film is a successful attemt in thriller category. Cinematography and music at exceptional level. Payal Rajput as the leading role giving lots of energy to the movie.

The movie revolves around a remote family digging their own graves due to uncontrolable desires and greedy mind set.

Mallika, the leading role wanted to fullfill her desires one way or another. So eventually she falls for her last option, dragging her mom and dad side by side. But what leaves them at end is a real surprise tragedy.

No unnecessary dragging of the story. So each scene is relavant to the movie and flawing it so dramatic. It is a slow thriller which convert the innocent protogonist in to slow killer.

Luca touched the heart
2 September 2021
A artist with two phobias due to pass incidents in his life suddenly found dead bysuicide. A film was a journey through his last few days by a diary found in his artistic room.

The story tells a sweet love story finally end up with a tragedy. There is a always suspect towards few characters regarding the luca's suicide. The ending gives you real twist which end up in a different direction than any other film.

Once again Tovino did his job to bring success to the film. Female protagonist Ahaana krishna also did a fairplay which made the couple is a sweet combination.

Art direction at high level. Music is ok but It could be better if one slow romantic song included into the film.

One of the best romantic tragedy in south indian film industry.

Vinci Da (2019)
8/10
Nice de-coding of davinci's passion of art
31 August 2021
At the beginning of the story it was little bit messy with different character introductions. But after 20mins it is settle down.

The main 2 characters, vinci da and bose ( Ritwik and Rudranil bosh ) gives their best to build up the story through theor performance.

But Anirab battacharya ( polce officer) and Sohini sarkar (Jaya) taking their supporting chracters to the exemplary level which made the film is a master class.

Music is somewhat different from normal bengali film which gives a plus point. Of course no need to mention that is obvious, the make up artist is doing a hell of job to bring success to the movie.

The diractor tries to give a fair discussion to de-coding the passion behind the leanardo da-vinci's art. The chatogory of film here in Imdb should be add 'Drama' also.

Great storyline spoiled by songs and fights
30 August 2021
The storyline is great same as his masterpiece drushyam. But songs, fights and traditional way of presenting the story destroyed the greatness of movie.

It seems jeethu joseph back to era of 2010. It could have earn more stars if he did little bit modernization.

Music should be more suspense type.

Anyhow jeethu joseph did his magic at the end with great twist, so you will not disappoint of watching it.

Dial 100 (2021)
6/10
Predictable plot
22 August 2021
First of all this is not an action film. This is just a slow thriller. Very predictable plot. But simply watchable.

First Phone conversation between police officer and the woman drags too much which makes you bit boring and too much reveal. If the script did little trick to keep something hide it could have been gain more plus points.

Manoj bajpayee tried his best to bring some color to movie. But the screenplay is not up to his standard.

Story has somethingto tell to society.

Different ending to the thriller movie with a message to think.

Good one from Germany
7 August 2021
Exhibit some german talent in Film industrty.

At the beginning it was absolute thriller but towards the end it became quite predictable.

Seeing Mom and dad history through boys story is goofy because the boy was a baby at that time.

Apart from that the movie is a good hit in 2021 which will be add to the vampire theme.

Protogonist did a great job with her supporting actors.

Watch this if you live Vampire + thriller on air.
