Fabulous movie
19 May 2024
Not a movie to be missed! I wasn't sure about this movie before I picked it but this one is beyond my expectations and made my weekend! All credits to the director! I just happened to realize this director has consistently given some of the best movies in recent times! Extremely unique concepts! The segments were like a breathe of fresh air to Tamil cinema! Perfect casting! Personally I liked Janani's story the most! I'm wondering how this gem haven't reached much audience! I'm looking forward to more good movies from Vighnesh Karthik! It felt good to see the Gowri Kishan and Adithya couple back on screen! They always have a beautiful chemistry! Anthology segment of them is also worth mentioning!

What an intense film
6 May 2024
Haven't seen something like this in a long time! Madhavan in such a menacing role! Never before! After twenty years, Maddy and Jyotika together but not as romantic partners! The girl and her performance was out of the world! Climax sequence was good! Surprised to see it's a remake of the gujarati film! A decent comeback from Jyotika to Hindi movies! The lead casts nailed it! Bgm was good. Beautiful cinematography and bgm score! Twenty minutes into the movie, you know what's coming! No matter how good a stranger looks to you, you are not supposed to eat what they offer you! It was worth watching!

Finest movie ever made
4 April 2024
Every woman out there would love this movie. Nothing makes you realize love than jealousy does. That's the message from the movie. The chivalry of a man who refuses to accept a woman other than his wife was portrayed so well. Adithis dresses were just too good in every scene. An yet another great director who is a woman in Tamil film industry. She should do more movies! She proved herself as a dance master and also as a director! Some of the songs were incredible! Everything was so well crafted in this movie! Dulquer, Adithi and Kajal, the three main characters of the movie gave their best !!!

Terrific!!!
16 February 2024
Best in ages! Climax episode was so well written! The last episode is so moving! Terrific performance by the leads, Prasanna, Dhivya Bharaty, Kalaiarasan, Aari and Nithesh. Prasannas episode is my personal favorite. A love story of two people from two different continents so beautifully written! As per my opinion, Ameer was the most deserving of all. Pranav's characterization was so well made. He is also the first one to sacrifice. Sarath kumar was the show stealer in the end! Hope this series creates a wave! Dialogue delivery, screenplay, cinematography and locations everything were thoughtful. It takes a while to get over this from the head! Kudos to Cheran for bringing it all together! It's also a well deserved success for Aari!. Prasanna is a good actor and can be used better. Must watch series!

The real pongal winner
4 February 2024
Extremely good acting by Arun Vijay. He carries the movie throughout. Sure this movie would bring him so much fame. Incredible story and direction. Amy's Tamil sounds too good to listen to. Her action sequences could have been better. It was obvious she was pretending to beat. Baby has also acted so well and is damn cute. They hooked us into the story effortlessly. It's a great theatrical watch, an action packed thriller I wish I watched this sooner. Beautiful location choices at London. The jail sequences, hospital sequences and the bus fight scenes were good. No wonder Lyca has backed this project. This movie deserves an even better success!

When adults fight
3 December 2023
Unique writing and screenplay. Great acting by Harish and MS Bhasker. An ego fight between two adults. Two men taking out their frustrations on each other. I couldn't think of any Tamil movie of this sort in the past decade. Things start small and become so huge. Indhuja has also done a good job. The struggle is real with rented places! An apt title for this movie. It's easy to gel into this story. Supporting actors have also done a fab job. No songs, no comedy, cliche scenes or dialogues. The movie is to the point and would not let you think of anything beyond. Unlike his other movies, Harish has chosen a different genre this time.

Romantic and fast-paced
1 December 2023
This was so romantic to the core. The series was romantic, fast paced and pricey as well. There is no other way you could watch it. I ended up paying some money to watch this. First few episodes will hook you up into this. I just can't afford to watch another series in this way. Sebastian was amazing. The love and respect he had for his wife was pretty amazing and quite rare to find in real life! I couldn't take my eyes off in his sleeping shot. Natalie was so graceful, classy and her characterization was quite strong. My favorite scene was when the lady puts the shoes on Natalie's foot. The series was so quick to watch, some cliche portions could have been avoided. A beautiful and perfect ending. This was so addictive that I had to pay a huge chunk of money to watch this one!

Not for everyone
5 November 2023
This movie portrays the other side of the world because there are still villages in India especially in Tamilnadu that doesn't have access to good transportation. The school portrayed in this movie is a typical example of thousands of schools still existing in Tamil Nadu. The alcoholic and abusive fathers and helpless wives and families, a lot of them still exist. While some people experiencing all luxuries in the world, there are still people who don't know the meaning of the word 'luxury'. There are people in the world who catch, fry and eat rats because they can't afford anything beyond. This is a hard hitting movie, a reality check. Just not for everyone. Silence and the little boy's eyes speak volumes in this movie.

Best in recent times
27 October 2023
It's not a movie, it's a lesson on relationships. Three parallel stories of three different couple. Kudos to the director, kudos to the team for choosing this script. After watching maya maya song, I ended up watching this movie. This movie reminded me of the importance of love language and the importance of holding a relation together. It's a must watch for couples. This type of movies should be cherished and celebrated. The movie revolves mainly around the female lead Shraddha. She is a marriage counselor who deals with different couples while her own life is falling apart. This movie is one of a kind and deserves a better success! Not a single frame is worth missing. And I cried buckets at the end. It's such a heart warming movie!

Too much hype
13 August 2023
If not for Anirudh, this movie wouldn't do this well. The movie has too much violence and definitely not for family audience. Bringing big stars inside it just for the sake of it. It's obvious they have done these roles only for Rajini. An yet another average movie from Nelson. Maybe his style of movie making is not for everyone atleast not for me. The big positives are Anirudh and thalaivar. First comedy scene by Yogi Babu was cringe but eventually he picked up. I enjoyed the movie in the last half an hour. Good efforts were put in the climax sequence. It's funny that Rajini denied stories from directors like Desingh to do this one. This movie is going good since audience love Rajinikanth! Another irking factor about the movie is starting the movie by introducing how vile the villain is! It would have been better if the good characters were introduced first at least in my opinion! Nelson and vikkis movies are always saved by Anirudh in the end!!

Epic movie
19 June 2023
'Every calamity is news until it hits us'. This movie is about the 2018 flood and based on true incidents. Amazing performance by Tovino Thomas and rest of the stellar cast. Malayalam movies surprise me every time with something new. This movie would seamlessly take you inside it and make you experience the flood. Thanks to the team for making this as a movie. It left me in tears at the end because it hits differently! My heart goes out to everyone who died in the flood and to everyone who survived it. This film is of international standards and reminds me of 2012! This team made the impossible happen. Don't miss this experience! It's not an yet another movie but a epic one!

Breezy movie
18 June 2023
Hands down this movie made my weekend. A couple of things I liked the most about the movie, the locations in this movie were too good, the way they showed a female lead as a responsible person who saved her family was kind of new. Music was vera level. Great performance by the cast, most of them were veteran actors. Glad to watch Ashwin among them. I have been following the work of the female lead ever since Kuckoo came. She was amazing in this too. This is a breezy love story. The childhood love portions were cute. I had no clue that the female lead also was in love! This part was too subtle. Good one overall.

Pleasant movie
3 June 2023
What a movie and what a concept! If Tamil Nadu has Vijay, Kerala has Fahadh! He is a monster in acting. He gave life to this movie. Kudos to the director, writer and producer for taking this up. I wonder how the writer could think of this. Honestly the title was not appealing at all. I had no intention to pick this movie, then I found this trending in the top list and picked it up. It was not disappointing at all. If this movie had to be made in Tamil Nadu, the director has to add item song, centiment scenes, comedian and so on. No offenses. Love the peculiar way of story telling in Kerala! It's a must watch. I was so hooked into the story. Though there are many branch stories in the movie, they all blended so well. The female lead and other characters have done a good job! This movie made my weekend and brought me out of boredom.

Heart warming series
29 May 2023
I cried buckets while watching this series. This series makes you cry and laugh. I laughed out loud at several occasions. After a decade, I have chosen to watch a k drama. This didn't disappoint me at all. Every episode ended with a twist. I loved the way they show two parallel worlds in the frames. It's a well executed series acted by two matured leads in their late 30s. This series emoted me to a different trance state. I anticipated a sad ending when two individuals from two different countries fell in love! What else can you expect! If not because of this series, I would never know how North Korea looks like. One of my favorite character is the guy who searches for his boss when she disappeared into air. 'A rich man has heirs and no sons'. How true is that! I love k dramas for the reason they bring the emotional and lighter side in you! They always leave you hanging by showing the kind of love that everyone wants in life! I liked everything about the series except the male leads North Korean hairstyles and the female leads slight wrinkles! Kudos to the team for making a successful k drama partially based on a true story!

Hats off to the team
16 May 2023
Hats off to the team for bringing this story into the limelight. Kudos to Sagarkia for winning this battle which is almost impossible for any normal person! How heartless people can go for the sake of money! This movie was brutally honest in showing how Scandinavians treat Indians. I can vouch for it as I have witnessed it too. Rani Mukherjee has done true Justice to the role. The director, writer and producer can't be thanked enough for believing in this story and picking up this project. No mother should ever have to go through this! This movie leave me wondering how many more mothers would have gone through the same struggles! I would now go and read the 'Journey of a mother' by Sagarika.

History made!
30 April 2023
The movie was amazing and was better than PS1 to me because too many of my questions were answered in this. I want to say about the three epic scenes and the wow moments in the movie, one the love portion between Adithya karikalan and Nandhini, second that one scene between kundhavi and Vandhiyathevan, third the death scene. Vandhiyathevan adds the fun element to the movie. He is the only one responsible for the laughters bursting out in the theater because others are super serious. A Chinese friend complained about too many characters in the movie. It would have been nice if the characters were introduced in the beginning of the movie. It's highly recommended to learn the characters before going to the movie if you don't know the story. It is also disappointing that the unexpected guy is crowned in the end. Trisha as Kundavi and Aishwarya as Nandhini were just smashing it. Vikram as Karikalan vera level performance. Also the young karikalan did well. Ravi as Ponniyin Selvan just so perfect for the role. There cannot be a better casting! Kudos to Mani Ratnam and the team for being thoughtful about everything! The only thing that I missed in the movie is the grandeur of Bahubali. Yet this is a unique masterpiece! The review and the movie would be incomplete without AR Rahman. He made some fabulous bgm in the movie! My most favorite character in the movie is the little Nandhini!

Sensitive film
25 April 2023
This is not for the weak hearted people. This line 'Based on a true story' haunts me. Brave attempt by the team. This should never happen to anyone even in the dreams. It's a worst nightmare for the kid! Every minute every second can put you in tears if you relate to the screenplay. The poor little kid goes through a lot through out the movie. It's an eye opener for negligent parents. I'm going through an emotional roller coaster while writing this. This movie has made me terribly sad today. Everytime the baby called 'mumma' in the movie. Maybe she did it more than 100 times. The baby will be at the verge of dying several times in the movie which will keep you at the edge of your seat!

Exceeded expectations
10 April 2023
I haven't watched this movie because of all the negative reviews and one star ratings pouring from all over. I don't understand why such good movie got bad reviews. I just started watching it out of boredom but this movie exceeded my expectations. This movie is about an international scam pulled off by a twin siblings, Arjun and Anu. The screenplay is gripping. Everyone acted really well. Special mention to Kajal Aggarwal, it's one of her best performances ever. Can't believe and imagine if this has happened for real. Navdeep and Vishnu Manchu has also done quite well. This movie will not disappoint you.

Worth watching
24 March 2023
Warning: Spoilers
My heart skipped a beat when Shah rukh stood behind Deepika in the hotel. It was the stellar moment of the movie. I could witness a graceful romance between them. I thought it's just another usual Bollywood flick but it wasn't. One of the best thing about the movie other than Shah rukh is the extraordinary cinematography. Shah rukh is just aging like the most finest wine. No wonder he is a superstar of Bollywood. The look at his face when he was falling off the rope, another wow moment. Just waiting for his next 'Jawaan'. The storyline was decent and John Abraham also fitted perfectly as the antagonist.

Rare gem
24 March 2023
One movie that made me feel extremely nostalgic after 96. I have watched the short film version of the movie a decade back and loved it. I never knew a feature film was made of it with some extra portions added. The romance between the leads looked so cute. This movie deserves to be seen by the teens and is not promoted well. Special mention to Charlie's acting as the father. The male lead is attractive and performed well. He has the potential to reach heights. I'm going to watch parole, the next venture just for the director. This movie also has some veteran actors who has given their stellar performances. It was totally worth watching. Guys just re-release the movie!

A fresh plot
12 March 2023
This movie was just amazing and unpredictable. A very strong characterization of Santhosh. He is the show stealer. He is too good in the movie to get over with. Absolutely stunning performance by Charlie, Varu, the mother as well as the supporting characters including Sentrayan. All credits to the director and the writers of the movie. The story and screenplay is unique and has never been seen before. The anti role by Varu was fabulous that I almost developed a wrath towards her by the end of the movie. Take home message is 'what desires can do to your life'. Besides one dialogue by sentrayan, a blind man in the movie was outstanding which meant people with eyes and yet go in the wrong way are truly blind. Special mention to the bgm for pulling us into the story more.

Mesmerizing
20 February 2023
The series is breathtaking, mesmerizing and the best ever. Thanks to everyone who endured all the hardship and made this. Especially the Arctic part. I'm not sure whether the mind blowing visuals, the voice over or the music that made me fall in love with this. It's difficult to pick a favorite from this series. Forest, grasslands, islands and deserts all were equally good. Highly recommended and a must watch documentary series even if you are not an animal lover especially the kids. It was more of a learning process where I got a glimpse of many rare species living in the most remote pieces of land. Kudos to the team who had put this up together. I wonder how did they follow a tiger all the way to make a story out of it. One of my most favorite pieces is the chasing of a new born baby creature by small snakes. A mere thought of the animals existing in the remote places feels like a parallel universe. I haven't taken my eyes off the screen for six hours. My rating for this is 10/10.

Beautiful love story
28 January 2023
A beautiful love story that will leave you in happy tears. It feels good and heartwarming. The movie's background music is breezy and transports us to another world. The female and male lead characterization is so strong-yet another feather to Anupama's cap. Anupama, aka Nandhini, acted as a simple girl to whom we can easily relate to. Siddhu has also given his fabulous acting. Screenplay is beautiful and the concept of this movie is very new. The plot revolves around Sidhu who happens to read the diary of Nandhini and fails in love with her. He later comes to know the tragic things happened in her life and make all her wishes come true.

Money heist with a message
19 January 2023
Konjam Beast Konjam Mangatha Konjam Vivegam

Intermission

Then the actual story begins. The movie is about how some banks are exploiting people in the name of credit cards and mutual funds. AK has nailed it. He has done a good one after a while. Manju Warrior was given a pivotal role. Good to see the Vijay stars crowd in the movie. Fast moving screenplay. The movie starts holding you only when the flashback begins. It's totally worth watching. No guts, no glory. The movie has just two songs. Pinning big hopes on H vinoth for his story telling. Looking forward to his movies. Boney kapoor probably got glued to AK. When red giant releases a movie, we can blindly walk into the theater and it will be worth it!

Raw and real
18 January 2023
Kudos to the team.

This movie is different from what we see usually. Dialogue delivery is astonishing. Special mention to Radhikas and the antagonist's great performance in the movie. The story and screenplay are gripping and fast moving. The movie touches upon several issues. This movie would be loved by the people from villages as they can relate more. The 'seimurai' practices which puts a social pressure on individuals forms the crux of the story. Songs were good. A big applause to the director for making this unique script. Became a fan of lovelyn for her performance. It's worth watching on the whole.
