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 →
Lucky Baskhar – My Flash Review!
This film with the title scripted as Lucky Baskha₹ was originally made in Telugu by Director Venky Atluri and I watched it in Tamil on Netflix. 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 →
Thalavan – My Flash Review!
Another Malayalam Film. Another investigation thriller. Another police procedural. Another one where Biju Menon and Asif Ali play the role of cops. Another ‘engaging in most parts” film. It is confirmed that Malayalam film-makers have a flair for this genre and it is quite interesting to see how they keep churning out new stories in... Continue Reading →
IC 814 – The Kandahar Hijack – My Flash Review & More!
The IC 814 flight hijack incident is one that is too embedded in the collective consciousness of a whole generation of Indians who were old enough to see it unfolding back in December 1999. As a nation, if there are few events for which we have not achieved closure, this would certainly be among the... Continue Reading →
Ullozhukku – My Flash Review!
Ace Tamil Filmmaker K. Balachander in his heydays used to make a lot of women-centric films. In such films, invariably the end will be contrarian. It will be the lead woman who will call the shots and decide her path while inflicting an irreversible pain on the man/men who would have wronged her in life.... Continue Reading →
