It is always a good idea to watch any film without any expectations. You mostly watch it casually, and more often than not, the film ends up being good. That’s what happened with this film – Dhoom Dhaam, which is streaming on Netflix. Boy meets Girl in a typical arranged marriage setting, and the marriage... Continue Reading →
Kadhalikka Neramillai (2025) – My Flash Review!
Romcom as a genre has almost vanished in Indian cinema these days, more so in Tamil. In that sense, Kadhalikka Neramillai - the 2025 film comes as a whiff of fresh air in Tamil cinema that only had an overdose of guns, bombs, sickles, fire, gore and blood of late. I say “the 2025 film”... Continue Reading →
Sookshmadarshini – My Flash Review!
This Malayalam film with a very interesting title that means “Microscope” is as interesting. The female protagonist played by Nazriya Nazim is named Priyadarshini and is a microbiology graduate. Soon, we understand that she plays the title role of Sookshmadarshini with her penchant for looking at things microscopically. The story is about how she channelizes... Continue Reading →
Bougainvillea – My Flash Review!
Had not heard of this Malayalam film when it released on the big screen and decided to watch it on OTT only for its Director Amal Neerad. His films are usually stylishly framed and aesthetically well presented having started off as a cinematographer. The film also boasted of some fine actors like Fahadh Faasil and... Continue Reading →

The title and its graphics tell that the film is about money and the hero’s tryst with it. A few minutes into the movie, it reminded me of at... Continue Reading →
Kishkindha Kandam – My Flash Review!
Over the past few years, we have been seeing Malayalam films charting unchartered territories and churning out interesting stories. Kishkindha Kandam joins the list of such films where the makers showcase an out-of-the-box story in a very intriguing setting. The film is set in an area bordering a dense forest which itself presents situations that... Continue Reading →
Lubber Pandhu – My Flash Review!
The title of the film is Lubber Pandhu, which means Rubber Ball in English. The film opens with a cricket match scene in a village in Tamil Nadu. Just in the initial 30 minutes, there are enough references to IPL and CSK. About half the film's run time features some cricket match or other. A... Continue Reading →
Meiyazhagan – My Flash Review!
There are movies that have a few scenes that evoke a bit of nostalgia. What if the entire stretch of a movie is about taking you on a nostalgic trip? You get a film like Meiyazhagan, directed by C. Premkumar whose earlier film 96 was also in a similar template. I couldn’t relate so much... Continue Reading →
Vettaiyan – My Flash Review!
As the film’s title card appears, there is an animation of a speeding bullet. The film’s credits further roll where we are shown the mechanics of a bullet leaving the gun when triggered—enough to raise our suspicion that this is another Tamil film with guns, bombs and gore galore. Thankfully a set of montage shots... Continue Reading →
