Kumbalangi Nights (2019)
A decent slow boring feel good movie!
Quite an average decent feel good movie. Story revolves around 4 disagreeing brothers of very disintegrated family background making efforts to come united to help each other. Not sure why it was listed as a must watch Malayalam movies of all times everywhere but I found it just a decent timepass movie with good visuals. Though storytelling is good, yet I found entire first hour boring n mostly every scene narration is very slow. Watched in Amazon Prime with the help of sub titles. My ratings 6/10!

Ullozhukku (2024)
A very practical n realistic storyline!
A movie that I waited for long to get dubbed in other languages n finally ended up watching in Malayalam itself with help of subtitles. I personally loved the movie though it may test one's patience greatly. The entire story revolves around in depth relationship between a woman n her mother in law. A relationship which is covered by hidden lies, deceit to each other. Storyline is quite practical n realistic. By accepting each other's blunders n forgiving, both appeal as strong women. This movie demands main leads to portray lots of emotions in their acting n both Urvashi n Parvathy have done justice to their roles. Available in Amazon Prime. A reminder again about it being very slow but I liked the content, acting n message n here I rate 7/10!
#Home (2021)
If you have forgotten to love your home n family, watch this!
This movie tops out of all the light hearted feel good movies. This even won national award n totally deserves it. The story revolves around a family n the family head, Oliver Twist trying to establish n strengthen his bond with his children through a smartphone. The first 30 mins of the movie takes time to establish pitch for the storyline n the last one hour particularly is fantastic. It triggers the chords of emotions with a right intensity at right places. None of the scenes looks absurd or senseless n one liner humorous dialogues are indeed appealing. Strongly highlights the importance of HOME n family where one tends to be always imperfect n doesn't get judged. A big kudos to the entire team for creating this! Originally a Malayalam movie dubbed in all South Indian languages along with Hindi available in Amazon Prime. My ratings 10/10!
Sector 36 (2024)
A creepy disturbing movie based on real events!
A very creepy n disturbing movie based on real incidents. Story revolves around true incidents of Nithari killings that took place between 2005 n 2006 wherein a servant along with his master kidnapped 25+ children, raped, cut in into pieces n organs sold. This movie had immense opportunity to make the execution very thrilling n frightening. However yet, it will keep one engaged throughout. Disturbing to know so many spooky people around n feels ashamed to know the real picture of our law n governance. Vikrant messy has done a decent job. Available in Netflix in all languages. My ratings 7/10!!
Music Shop Murthy (2024)
An average movie that is not very appealing
The story revolves around a 52 yr old man who holds a music shop being extremely fond of music n is compelled to learn DJ to make good income for family at that age. Slightly inspiring average film. Doesn't bore n tries very hard to be a feel good movie but not that appealing. Available in all South Indian languages along with Hindi in Amazon Prime. My ratings 5/10!

Bheema (2024)
Pathetic direction!!
Had to stop it after watching for an hour. Not sure how did this film even become a hit. A very disengaging direction. Story revolves around drug trafficking n its widespread impact amongst youngsters. Execution is so bad I couldn't bear it post an hour. It's more like a tapori movie with very bad dialogues and pathetic songs. Available in Amazon Prime. My ratings 2/10!

Kill (2023)
A fantastic action crime thriller ever made!
Intensity, tension, thrill that this movie offers throughout is unbeatable. A brilliant action crime thriller! Story revolves around how the train to New Delhi turns as a battleground when a bandit, group of very violent thieves attack travelers in train n then sets up an intense fight between 2 commandos traveling in that train vs these 40 bandit thieves. The title of the movie is so so apt that when commandos will be hitting theses dacoits, it will constantly be running in mind as kill kill.. Action scenes have been shot so well that one gets completely absorbed in them. Entire movie is shot in the train n right from beginning to end, it's like one unending action fights saga. Few action scenes are so appealing that I was constantly getting butterflies in my stomach. Lakshya as a commando n Raghav Juyal as one of the prime dacoit are fantastic in their roles. Definitely must watch. Action lovers would definitely feel like watching this movie again n again. Available on Disney HotStar. My ratings is 10/10 for the wholesome entertainment this movie offers.
Kavaludaari (2019)
A decent crime thriller!
A suspense crime thriller 2019 Kannada movie that definitely stands true to its genre. Script is definitely good n execution is fairly okay. Story revolves around a traffic police who is interested working in crime branch n meanwhile, under a flyover construction, few skeletons of 40 years get revealed which this man secretly starts investigating. This is the first movie of Rishi that I'm watching n he is too good in his character. The second half is really good while I was struggling to hold my interest in first half. The climax is fairly decent n the suspence revealed post climax is also good. However, it's a little slow burner n lengthy. Available in Amazon Prime. This is remade in Telugu n Tamil as well. My ratings 7/10!
Raayan (2024)
Raayan character is a cult
What an outstanding movie! Doesn't let you bore even for a minute. Scores full for entertainment quotient. Story revolves around the eldest brother who throughout tries to safeguard his siblings. Unfortunately, climax is sad, disturbing n disappointing. This story makes you realize how fragile every human relation is n at the end, how all exhibit self-centric selfish behaviour. Raayan's character is like a cult played by Dhanush. What an extraordinary acting by Dhanush! I was even more suprised to know this movie is written n directed by Dhanush himself. Fantastic direction! Strongly recommend one to watch this. Available in all South Indian languages including Hindi in Amazon Prime. My ratings 9/10!
Moorane Krishnappa (2024)
An outdated way of storytelling!
Good movie with a positive message. Storyline is about the last minute struggles to get the chief guest to a temple inauguration by a village panchayat political leader to get himself highlighted for upcoming election. But execution is boring with an outdated way of storytelling. A low budget movie with a predictable story. Available in Amazon Prime. My ratings 5/10!

Munjya (2024)
A kid's horror movie
Second horror comedy genre of the year post Kakuda movie. Story revolves around a young man Bittu n a young boi turned Munjya brahmarakshas after his untimely death. It starts with a good intensity n maintains similar momentum for the first half n turns complete mess in the second half. A completely missed opportunity. It's more like a horror comedy for kids but definitely not for adults. Kakuda was way better a movie than this. Available on Disney HotStar. My ratings 6/10!

Kalki 2898-AD (2024)
Completely avoid it!
I pity all those who watched this in theatres. What an utter waste of time! A complete dull affair that lacks excitement n fails to hold one's attention. Though they have picked up a thread of storyline from Mahabharat, execution nowhere resembles to Indian traditions n culture. Miserably failed by trying the execution in Hollywood style. What left me stunning was how did Karna became alive n became part of this storyline though Ashwathama's immortal presence makes sense. Hindu scriptures are concocted to next level in this. Not even a single scene keeps you excited. I don't recommend this to any. Available in Amazon Prime n Netflix in all languages together. My ratings 1/10!
Karthik Calling Karthik (2010)
Average movie on Schizophrenia!
Overrated n unnecessarily overhyped! No doubt, plot is good on a sensitive topic but not worth the execution n hype. Story revolves around a person suffering from Schizophrenia n hallucinations resulting from it. The last 45 mins of the movie is good but rest all is very poor. Available on Netflix. My ratings 5/10!

Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba (2024)
Storytelling is very bad
Only for those who have watched first part of the movie. It's continuation from where it ended in first part. I was indeed excited to watch this but it is disappointing. Storyline is good but storytelling has been bad. It's very convulted n messy. Unnecessary poetry dialogues which make one very boring. In terms of entertainment not worth it. Story revolves around how Rani n Rishabh tries to cover up Rishabh being alive n in the process, Rani gets married to another person n all 3 escape plan from police. Available on Netflix. My ratings 6/10!

Gyaarah Gyaarah (2024)
Pathetic senseless storyline
A total senseless series. Totally devoid of all logics. Showcases a time travel concept to solve murder mysteries. A cop handling cases back in 2001 keeps connecting with a cop dealing same cases in 2016 at 11:11 PM at night through walkie talkie. It's like 2001 n 2016 are running parallelly at the same time. Pathetic execution n I had to stop watching it post 3 episodes looking at impractical miserable storyline. Available in Zee5. My ratings 2/10!

12th Man (2022)
Very boring movie
This movie seems to have been made into 24 languages. The upcoming 'Khel khel mein' movie of Akshay Kumar is also remake of this same movie. Originally a French movie which is remade in all languages. Story revolves around finding who the murder is when group of friends along with their families goes to a resort n one of them gets murdered. The entire movie is about conversation that happens in a room by DSP with all the characters to identify the killer. A very average movie, doesn't bore as such but neither thrilling as such. Particularly climax was very disappointing n also title doesn't make any sense. Malayalam version available in Disney Plus n Hindi dubbed in YouTube. My ratings 5/10!
Ninnu Kori (2017)
A movie with good message
Ninnu Kori - A Telugu romantic comedy drama that stands true to its genre. Story portrays when protagonist goes out of the city for a year to focus on career, his lover's family gets her married to another man n then he attempts to get her back. The first half completely looks like any masala movies but what makes it worth is its second half. Quite an appealing movie that comes out with strong messages for the plenty out there who take their lives being broken up in love. Movie ends on a note that love doesn't need marriage while marriage needs love. Whatsoever, breakups are indeed not easier to go through n the last scene when he cries with the realisation makes one senti. Hindi dubbed available in YouTube. My ratings 6.5/10!
Chithha (2023)
If you are a parent, must watch!
This drama takes one though emotional rollercoaster. If you are a father, a must watch definitely. Story revolves around sexual assault on kids by a pedophile n parallelly showcases the intense bond between protagonist n his niece. The entire presentation looks very natural n realistic. It enlightens how in current era, why it's utmost necessary to educate children of all age about sexual harassment, abuse, and assault. We should overcome that era of 'My parents never gave me the 'sex talk' n take a step to initiate your children safety. Sidharth's acting is brilliant. Basically a Tamil movie dubbed in all languages in HotStar. My ratings 8/10!
Shakhahaari (2024)
A gem of a movie!
A gem of a Kannada movie after a long long time! Only few movies content leave an impactful experience and this slow paced crime thriller offers that experience. There are precisely 2 twists to the storyline, one precisely post first half n second at the last 10 minutes climax and both leave one amazed. This movie gives that unique feeling which one gets while reading a novel book, only book lovers can relate to it. Rangayan Raghu what an amazing actor who comes from theatre background. Definitely highly recommend one to watch this. Available in Kannada n Telugu in Amazon Prime. My ratings 9/10!
Kakuda (2024)
Definitely one time fun ride!
A nice horror comedy thriller! I personally enjoyed the script n execution. Story revolves around a cursed village which inflict upon men of that village every Tuesday post 7.15PM. Heavily influenced by Stree movie but definitely keeps one hooked up, jumpscare are quite mild but yet leaves upto the genre intended. I watched it with low expectations but it's really worth one time watch. Sonakshi Sinha is quite good in this. Available in Zee5. My ratings 7/10!

Kurangu Bommai (2017)
Low budget average movie!
Maharaja movie director's first movie of 2017 while Maharaja was his 2nd direction in 2024. Watched it since it was hyped with lots posts around. Entire movie rotates around the circus to get possession of a bag which gets exchanged among many hands. A very low production value crime thriller. Not worth all the hype though story n execution is very average n climax is good, also doesn't have any big starcast. Available in YouTube dubbed in Hindi. My ratings 5/10!

Good Luck to You, Leo Grande (2022)
Interesting plot but boring
Having had 3 long decades of unsatisfying marital sex with the husband, post his death, the retired school teacher for the first time ever hires a very young escort to explore her sex life. In the process, ends up making a close connection with the escort. That's the story of the whole movie. Execution is good but entire movie is more about one on one conversations which is way too boring to hold on my interest though plot is good. What I personally didn't like is their discussion at one point about legalizing n normalising escorts sex service n one feeling very proud about it. Available in Amazon Prime dubbed in Hindi too. My ratings 6/10!
Anatomie d'une chute (2023)
Next level boredom!
If you are suffering from insomnia, you must definitely watch this. What for did this win Oscar or is it all Oscar movies meant to be typically this kind? What a waste of time! Story is the husband falls from 3rd floor n dies within 10 mins of the movie. Then rest of the entire movie is about the trail to decide if his wife killed him or if it was a suicide. If she killed him or not is secondary, but this will kill you with boredom for sure. This movie is listed in thriller genre n I will list it in nonsense genre. Available in Prime n dubbed in Hindi. My ratings 1/10!

Barbarian (2022)
A missed opportunity!
A horror thriller with an interesting premise. Story revolves around 2 strangers arriving at a home having booked the same house for rent at the same time n then gets exposed basement mystery. The first half successfully gets one involved into the story completely n the second half loses that intensity for a while. Jumpscare scenes are not many but however a unique plot worth one time watch. What is highly disappointing is not showing the detailed story of antagonist. Available in Netflix dubbed in Hindi. My ratings 6/10!

Aadujeevitham (2024)
A must watch!!
Survival of the fittest! A fantastic survival thriller. 2 key takeaways of the movie are - Grass on the other side always looks greener n second one is money has taken so much precedence over humanity that inhumanity has slowly n steadily becoming the hallmark of the society with time. A true story that revolves around an Indian man who goes to Saudi Arabia to earn more money where his passports are taken away n made to work in desert away from City with no basic amenities n salary. Prithviraj has definitely been good in his body language n for sure, it is not an easy character to portray. Storytelling could have been more better, intense n more impactful though. Despite the loopholes, kudos to the entire team for this brilliant creation for bringing to the light, the ongoing sufferings in those unknown places. Dubbed in all South Indian languages including Hindi. Available in Netflix. My ratings 9/10!
