The title is inspired by the song Hey Sinamika… from Maniratnam’s hit film – OK Kanmani which incidentally also had Dulquer Salman as the male lead as this one. Now, if you think the inspirations from Mani’s films ended here, sorry you are wrong. The film is littered with references from earlier films of Mani.... Continue Reading →
Putham Puthu Kaalai Vidiyaadhaa – My Flash Review!
Putham Puthu Kaalai Vidiyaadhaa an anthology in Tamil that dropped on Amazon Prime is a sort of a sequel to Putham Puthu Kaalai that we saw in 2020 during the 1st wave. We are in January 2022 and the lockdown saga is still continuing. So arrival of the new dawn is posed as a question.... Continue Reading →
Maanaadu – My (late) Flash Review!
If a film gets a huge thumbs up on its theatrical release and then releases on OTT where we get to watch for the 1st time, there are 2 issues. One, the expectations get built up. Two, the reputation of the film precedes our watching experience. That’s what happened to me for this film –... Continue Reading →
Annaatthe – My (late) Flash Review!
Annaatthe showed up on Netflix this week and finally caught up with the film yesterday and here’s my take. One word catchy title – Check High to Low to High – story line (similar to Riches to Rags to Riches template) – Check Nayanthara in the cast – Check Multi star cast with too many...

Jai Bhim – My Flash Review!
Right in the opening scene, when a set of jail convicts are asked their respective castes before the next action follows, you know that this film’s intent is not to entertain, but to educate. Or rather to enlighten. Or better, to shake you. As a film, Jai Bhim for most parts is not just disturbing... Continue Reading →
Thalaivi – My Flash Review!
The much awaited Jayalalitha (JJ) biopic is out and I caught up with the Hindi version of it which is streaming now on Netflix. I am stressing on the “Hindi” version because, it’s my guess that the treatment and therefore the end product would be quite different in Tamil. First up, JJ’s real life is... Continue Reading →
Toofan Vs Sarpatta Parambarai – My Flash take!
As a matter of coincidence, 2 films - one in Hindi (Toofan) and the other in Tamil (Sarpatta Parambarai) both essentially sports dramas that too based on Boxing, got released almost at the same time two weeks ago on Amazon Prime. Probably it would have been to coincide with the Olympics where as we speak,... Continue Reading →
Sarpatta Parambarai – My Flash Review
Frankly I had no clue as to what the title referred to or the background till I watched this Pa.Ranjith’s film which was premiered on Prime Video this week. The interest to watch was of course due to being a “Pa. Ranjith film”. This outing follows his two back to back average films that too... Continue Reading →
Jagame Thanthiram – My Flash Review!
The much awaited film, Jagame Thanthiram finally got an OTT release and is now streaming on Netflix. Much awaited because it is directed by Karthik Subbaraj and has Dhanush in the lead. As I watched the film, I understood or rather derived the logic behind the title. Jagam or Jaga means place, so the film... Continue Reading →
Karnan – My Flash Review!
Mari Selvaraj’s Karnan screams for attention right from the beginning when the title credits roll with background noises of what happens in a highway. Then we are shown some arresting visuals of a young girl suffering from seizures right in the middle of a busy village road and all kind of vehicles plying by, without... Continue Reading →
