Jawan – My (late) Flash Review!
As I write this, Jawan has already completed more than two weeks in theatres and has turned out to be a humungous box office hit beating many records. The film starring Shahrukh Khan is directed by Atlee, a relatively new name in Bollywood but a very familiar name in South India having churned out successive... Continue Reading →
Jailer – My Flash Review!
Any Rajinikanth movie comes with loads of expectations and associated hype and Jailer is no exception. The film, coming at the back of a few average outings like 2.0, Durbar and Annatthe for the actor and an underwhelming Beast for Director Nelson obviously arrived with additional pressure for these two. First up, I must say... Continue Reading →
Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahani – My Flash Review!
I always thought that as a filmmaker Karan Johar doesn’t just make films, but celebrates films. Invariably his films wade into oodles of nostalgia at every opportunity. His latest film – Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahani (Rocky from here on) goes a step further. It is an unapologetic tribute to the Bollywood of Yore,... Continue Reading →
Maamannan – My Flash Review!
Mari Selvaraj the director of this film Maamannan, continues with his pet theme of caste oppression from his earlier films - Pariyerum Perumal and Karnan in this film as well. He also stays consistent in the narrative where the hero from the oppressed community seeks redemption in a sense and seeks revenge on the dominant... Continue Reading →
Jackson Bazaar Youth – My Flash Review
With a title like that, it is difficult to fathom what the film is all about. A few minutes into the film, you get that it is the name of a local band around which the story is centred. The band is shown to be very popular in the small town of Kerala somewhere near... Continue Reading →
Thrisanku – My Flash Review!
There was a time when Malayalam cinema was a factory for comedy films of great quality. These were the heydays of the famed Mohanlal-Srinivasan combo when clean comedy films of the slapstick genre used to regale us no end. Priyadarshan took many of these films to Bollywood with a lot of success until the predictability... Continue Reading →
Pachuvum Athbutha Vilakkum – My Flash Review!
With a title like that, your guess about the genre of the film is most likely that it is a comedy film. Pachuvum Athbutha Vilakkum (PAV) begins like a slice-of-life comedy affair. But along the way, it keeps shifting its genre to being a crime story and a love story and even a social drama... Continue Reading →
Sirf Ek Bandaa Kaafi Hai – My Flash Review!
One can easily mistake this film for a typical masala action flick starring Salman Khan or Ajay Devgn. In reality, it is a courtroom drama made almost in documentary style with Manoj Bajpayee in the lead. The Bajpayee factor upped my interest to watch the film that dropped on OTT last week. The strange title... Continue Reading →
