The story revolves around a man who get mistakenly trolled for as a drunk passenger when he spends two sleepless nights straight looking after his baby girl in hospital.

Soubin keeps it simple and scores with all emotions of guilt and fear.

Strings of emotions plays all along the family especially with the father son relationship. Thought there was a moment when we doubt if people actually remembers to the extent shown in the movie, but the fact that the movie is based on real incident is a striking fact!

Such an amazing movie, irrespective of the running time of the movie it holds the tension level throughout the movie just with depths of characterization driving the screenplay. The BGM is totally unorthodox and totally works in every mood of the scenes.

Just loved the way the story progressed till the interval, didn't rush through any of the buildup that was necessary to accept each character's behaviour !

Except for a few frames where DoP has done a good job and few momentary thrills the movie is just a bunch of trash! Just to make Keerthy's role as lead there is group of characters that doing cameos with no justification. Second half is the worst of all, the climax is just some vomit after watching Vikram Veda may be !

Very average story for a thriller or a drama. Casting was like a list of invitees for a wedding. Trying to follow the formula of Manithan, the courthouse scenes were atrocious! Very artificial and seeing Jyothika and Parthiepan conversing in the courthouse - honest feeling was tamil tv serials felt better sometimes. Only positive is the message about kid safety awareness.

Story is about a extraction of a son of Indian drug lord from the drug lord of Bangladesh. Quite amused with the over exaggeration of the powers of the Bangladesh drug lord contolling the National Army.

Except for the action sequences, there isn't much to look forward. There is a past for both Chris and the kid to establish some character but none of them sticks.

Movie revolves around a family where the exipired grand mother was a satanist and how the entire family get affected by this. The movie might get us on the edges with the awesome work of camera movement with the background music. With some real good performances from the artists, it is an average horror with rookie continuity errors and unortodox script with an inconclusive end.

The movie is executed well except the opening 30 minutes which is very vague trying to expose the characters, especially the protagonist. The cast in itself look so immature and artifical in those performances. The overall story line itself is not so well thought. It looks like the production of the movie was too rushed before script could be refined, it was worth a short film not a feature film. Towards the climax there was a compulsion to pick up the loose ends left before to conclude, too much coincidence theory!

The movie about the Nipah virus outbreak in Kerala and how it was contained effectively with stupendous work of the officials. Majority of the movie revolves around the process of contact tracing to the first infected person. There is a lot of work done to pace-up the screenplay in this portion but it fails to translate on-screen because there are too many characters involved around it that we lose track of what is happening.Except for Soubin Shahir who scored in the limited frames provided, either those other characters involved should have established well to the audience to follow or the number of characters should have been limited.

Saying about the movie, when you look technically into it - There is no concrete story line help up, though the story revolves around the protagonist Mike Weiss, it doesn't stick upto the thing. It swings to many corners like

Mike Weiss personal life - drug addictions

PaulDanziger family and problems

Jeffrey Dancort

Nathaniel Price's character exposition

The nurse's story

May those are the things that was the take away from the true incidents but which in-turn didn't make us to hold firm to the one-liner of the movie or build up the intensity in any point of time.So, technically I would rate 6.5/10.

Still I prefer to rate high for the intentions of the movie to bring the facts to light.(I didn't know about the safety needles until I watched it!)

The movie revolves around four youths who went out of their homes to a foreign place for working, but what it takes in it's course of orbit is pretty heavy. It takes the entire system that's been there for decades in a country and more to it is there is no hiding from showing how flawed it is. Having such high intensity in subject, there is nothing less that you can expect visually! The core cast has defined nothing but the definition for reality on screen. Their hard work is visible in every frame. Introducing a pair and a love bud to the lead wasn't really needed, if it was for making the climax more powerful then I feel the effect was meager. The BGM by GV is very subtle to grasp during the watch(First time at least). But it helped in a great way to reduce the intensity, without which it could be intense a few folds more.

This movie will stay with you! This movie will affect you! This movie will make you think about the entire system! This movie can make you get obsessed !

So I would say to be prepared for all of it before you decide to watch it.

It's been sometime where there was a movie u go, watch and enjoy and not to think about too much. This is one such movie where the mood that is required for the movie (Relax and enjoy buddy mood) is set by the end of title cards!

"directed by -an overpaid tool" :D

As much as hilarious with the black comedies for a parody, it also contains elements for making a story line unlike many other movies failed to do. Most of the voice over's interacting with the audience did work but few of them where very anticipatable(But who cares :P ) . But overall whether or not you are a comic lover, this is a movie that you can laugh out, enjoy and relax watching this movie.

Not the one you would want to miss !

There is always a first thing that comes to your while the movie ends, the very first thing that came to my mind was one of the sound track. The movie is revolves around a "orphaned bastard child" by one of the late most famous boxer.

However not portraying the transitions of the angry young child to a self made aspiring boxer is a major betrayal to script and the reason I believe for not creating a major impact on the audience.

The female lead character Bianca, seriously? Slam the door on hero-----Go out for a dinner----Sleep with him---One encouraging dialogue--fight-One loud cry in climax. Olive in Popeye does more than this!

The two main characters Adonis and Rocky had a huge scope of acting with the action and both actors have grabbed the most of it.

Having the support of a sport in the play, the movie doesn't disappoint at the end.

This is an average movie considering the plot and narration. But it scores with the lines which are so honest, sharp and brutal. The movie is different from the conventional movies in having the Socrates character along with his own conscience character that haunts him.

The ideas by the Socrates are never spoon fed or rushed through. It is a modern art exhibited to Millman (so as to us) is much like a modern art where someone can take what ever you want and some of it can be similar to the creator's.

Even though the lines are excellent, it doesn't take us into the world of Socrates or Millman which why we the film doesn't attach to someone watching. But it's worth watch for inspirations like living the moment and rising from the fallen!

It's a good break to the chain of horror comedies. There isn't much elements that will make u jump or scream from your seats but it will hold u in the edge of your seat in the second half.

The first is very average becoz of the over exposition of the characters which wasn't needed for the rest of the movie. It could have been used for adding more elements of horror instead of starting the story in the second half. With the good camera work the BGM is good to create anxiety but it's very normal, (And it's really not needed to tear the audience's ear drum even when its on the script).

With many of the horror sequences present in the narration are highly inspired from Hollywood and visual effects just supporting it and not lifting it up Demonte Colony is one time watch for sure!

The movie doesn't stand strong with the communism principles or in the entertainment angle. The first half is terribly boring with some good dialogues reflecting communism. Only the director knows why in the name of god the songs where even there in this movie, if it was under the producers pressure I feel bad for the creator!

The good thing about the movie is that it shows both the sides of the revolutions. There has been a great effort put in to make the jail realistic and it has been effective. The Tamil conversations between the peers from Delhi could have been in English/Hindi and subtitled in Tamil to make it more authentic.

Coming to cast they have tried their best to fit Arya in the character with the looks, but it didn't just workout. For such a important character in the movie the casting could have even been a well suited new face. The character of Karthika appears just not to make the movie so dry. The costumes and dialogues for the pair during the expedition just don't gel up. Vijay Sethupathi and Shaam has done justice to their characters.

I can promise this movie is going to stay young for a decade from now - MINIMUM!

Starting frame one with the animated game in title cards, there is freshness till the end card, a whole hearted thanks to the cinematographer. Mani Ratnam proves again a master of the screen play. Beautiful flawless performances captured in best possible way with the extra- ordinary BGM with songs, Needless to say AR Rahman has given feet taping tunes and life giving BGM to the movie- this movie is completely lively and all the qualities to make your day.

Should watch feel good movie for sure PERIOD!

The story line is simple and clear but not completely convincing in all aspects. But the screenplay is the one that makes to hold on to the movie till the end without letting you think about the logics. The music and some of the performances like Sam Shepard's have been partners to the screenplay.

But towards the end of the movie, You think about Richard's involvement to the plan is so lightly touched making the characterization contradictory to itself. A citizen with clear records, a responsible family man who tries to safe guard the family under any circumstances turns out to be warrior keeping aside the family for a while. That itches a bit ! Doesn't it.

Other than that, it is a movie that you can watch for once without much regrets.

Yennai Arindhaal - Perfect start in 2015 with the action and emotions..

With a hero like Ajith, GVM has given a clean cop story without any ingredient for the image of hero. A part of the credit goes to Ajith himself for giving the freedom do that.

It was a good decision to have the flash back in one complete stretch. The power packed flash back helps actually to keep up the pace of movie without any lag. Harris has given a very powerful BGM and apt songs though one or two remembers some old tunes.

There are three relationship tracks in the movie. The light touched Anushka's track, a matured Trisha's part and very lively emotion sequence with the daughter. All three handled so well.

The performance of Ajith is remarkable in the character. The very care taken for every frame is visible on the screen. Both the cop sequence as well as the romantic part is very well portrayed.

Arun Vijay's character is a great scope for exploiting his acting skills that was under-seen for a long time in limelight. This might be a turning point for him.

One thing which can be improvised is the character of Arun Vijay's wife. It's given more importance in the script but not enough exposition.

Yennai Arindhaal - watch worthy emotional cop entertainer !

I - more than 2+ years of making has given a great result on screens.

The story revolves around the body builder who aspires to become MR.India. When his long time fancy girl gets into his life, the drastic changes to his life is rest of the story.

Vikram, undoubtedly there ain't any Indian actor with this much of dedication for a movie in present. He is a Christian Bale to Indian cinema. Notably in the role of the model one can't take eyes of him even in the presence of Amy and the make up along with his efforts to change the body shape for the hunchback is mind blowing.

P.C.Sreeram, haven't seen anyone in recent past who can play with colors as him. His camera has helped to elevate the characterization of the movie a level up.

Rahman with yet an other exhibition of feet taping tunes and BGM has given a lively experience through out the movie.

The flaws that I felt in the movie are : There is no real suspense in the Suresh Gopi's character. Its very evident from the very beginning.

The sync in the beast song, the voice didn't suit for the beast in any point. May be a performance without singing might have been better or the song even can be trimmed off when it comes to extended length of the movie. But it's a tough decision that has to be taken with the actor's body transformation specific for the song.

There is no solid villain in the plot. Its diluted to too many characters which is one of the reason for the movie's length too.

With all the above "I" is a great experience and a must watch !

Pisasu - saying it as a horror comedy, there is slight dominance of comedy in the movie, but its completely planned in the script. Because the ghost is not intended to scare you but it might end up you might start loving the character as the film progresses. Inspite of the fusing genres, it is strongly driven by emotional concept of "Forgiveness".

The music and camera work is notable, in way I see a part of story telling is being done through camera. Radha Ravi scores with his performance even if it was for a lesser time scope. Why the ghost decides to stay with the protagonist is a little unclear, Because of love? or to protect him from her father?

It's not a completely screaming horror, laugh out comedy or tear wiping emotional. Its a blend of all that makes it entertaining .

With all the big names in mind (SuperStar,Director-Ravi Kumar, Music- A.R.Rahman,Camera- Rathinavelu) If the movie has to satisfy, It has to make the audience digest all these names while watching the movie, which is not a easy task to do. That is exactly been experimented by this movie. This script might have been Rajinikanth script if it was revised more and worked out well.

The sense of urge is seen in every scene. Dialogues aren't interesting and predictable in most places. There is no special attention given for the styles and punch dialogues for SuperStar which is most expected from him.

The comedy track didn't work out, Santhanam has tried his best but there are barely any place to laugh out. Brahmanandam is added for multi lingual promotion. There isn't any foot tapping tunes as well. You can't get more from the man who takes months for scoring BGM to a movie that was completed around couple of months.

This flick should have scored much better if it was in mid 90's or early 2000's (before Sivaji or Endhiran).

The movie stays strong visually in almost every scene, Not with the 3D Effect and CG but also without them, The camera angle and movement that has been chosen is the mostly lively way. Needless to say about the performance of Christian Bale, Joel Edgerton also had given a good performance.

Even with all these, the movie lags in stressing emotions between the characters which sometimes gives disinterested feeling. There are many scenes around 30 minutes that might have been included in the extended version and slacked off.

Exodus, is a visual treat in more than few places, though invariably it isn't interesting.
