School bus : My Review

Director Rosshan Andrrews and Screenwriter duo Bobby - Sanjay who created the fantastic edge of the seat thriller " Mumbai Police" disappoints with their latest flick School Bus. The movie is just a mere adventure of a school boy following an incident that happens at school. "School bus" conveys a valuable message that parenting plays a huge role during childhood and over strictness can have bad impacts on children like developing fear and hatred towards parents.

Aakash Muraleedharan & Angelina Rosshan are good finds. Jayasurya, Aparna Gopinath & Kunchako Boban have less on screen time but performs well in their roles. Cinematography by C.K.Muraleedharan is good but graphics used during the forest scenes are bad.

Overall, School Bus is just a hugely predictable adventure which never really thrills as nothing eventful happens after the beginning.

You can just give this one a miss unless you are an ardent fan of Bobby - Sanjay scripts.

Pachakuthira : My Review

Anandakuttan is junior artist in Mollywood Film industry and he is on cloud nine when he hears that his estranged brother Aakash Menon is coming to visit him from Germany. But things go out of control when he finds out his brother is autistic.
Pachakuthira is a movie filled with humour and many laugh-out-loud moments which tells us a heart touching story of brotherhood. Dileep delivers a terrific performance in a double role as Aakash Menon and Anandakuttan while all the supporting cast especially Salim Kumar is expressive and scores with comic timing.
Director Kamal has succeded in crafting a clean comedy entertainer with an emotional twist. Script by T.A.Shahid is simple but the acting and the humour makes the movie, an out and out entertainer.
The movie offers pure entertainment and a powerful message along with it. A must watch for those who love light hearted movies.
My Rating : 4/5

Spanglish : My Review

Love grows beyond all barriers but Life pricks.
Spanglish stars the lovely Paz Vega and Adam Sandler in the lead. Paz Vega looks stunning and she makes the viewers fall in love with her character Flor Moreno. Characters and casting are the highlights of this movie. The screenplay and direction by James.L.Brooks are good and the movie has lots of humour.
Watch it for Paz Vega. She looks drop dead Gorgeous !!

The Lunchbox : My Review

Way to one's heart is through one's stomach.
The lunchbox tells an unusual bonding between a housewife and a Government employee that happens when a dabbawala misdelivers a lunchbox. The movie is fresh and the script by Ritesh Batra who is also the director, deserves appreciation for its realistic feel. The Lunchbox explores Mumbai and also focuses on Dabbawalas, Metro Travel, Traffic, City Life etc.
Irrfan Khan and Nimrat Kaur delivers solid performances while Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Lilette Dubey plays their roles well. The movie has a running time of 100 mins and the pace of the movie is slow, although no lag is experienced throughout. The movie is a good watch and such fresh scripts are the need of the hour for Bollywood.
My Rating : 4/5

Orphan : My Review

One of the best psychological thrillers in the history of hollywood.
Orphan is an intense psychological thriller which tells the story of Esther, a mysterious orphan girl who is adopted by the Coleman family.
Isabelle Fuhrman delivers a terrific performance as Esther and director Jaume - Collet Serra has created a masterpiece out of a brilliant script.
Vera Farmiga, Peter Sarsgaard, Aryana Engineer and Jimmy Bennett are just brilliant and they have enacted their roles extremely well. The movie is a dark thriller and the screenplay by David Leslie Johnson deserves special appreciation for its twists and dark elements. Orphan is co - produced by Leonardo DiCaprio under his production company Appian Way Productions.
This movie will be a treat for those who love psychological thrillers but for the uncut version of this movie, viewer discretion is advised. Orphan is an engaging watch that shouldn't be missed.
My Rating : 4.5/5

Changeling : My Review

This movie is undoubtedly one of the best movies ever released in Hollywood.
Changeling tells the true story of a mother whose son goes missing. Set in 1928, the movie is a terrific viewing experience. Clint Eastwood has directed this movie with great precision and perfection. Angelina Jolie just lives in her character. She just steals the entire show.
The performances of supporting cast are also just outstanding. The art direction and costume design needs special appreciation as they have recreated the vintage atmosphere.
The movie grips us with its engaging screenplay and the exquisite performances makes the movie a treat to watch. This Hollywood Classic is a must watch !!
My Rating : 5/5

Ex Machina : My Review

Ex Machina is set in the near future where artificial intelligence is an inevitable part of human existence. The movie discusses how artificial intelligence can be beneficial and equally detrimental in the future to human race. Alicia Vikander is too good and amazes us with her emotions, dialogue delivery and screen presence. Domhnall Gleeson and Oscar Isaac performs well in their roles. Director Alex Garland has done a brilliant job and crafts the movie with perfection. VFX is the best and truly deserves the oscar it won for this category !! 

This movie is a must watch for all moviegoers, especially for those who love science fiction.

My Rating : 4.5/5

Vettah : My Review

Vettah is a good attempt at a perfect psychological thriller. The engaging first half keeps the audience guessing about the plot. The mystery does unravel in the second half, but the flaws in story telling post interval makes vettah fall short of becoming a terrific psychological thriller. 

Kunchako Boban delivers a solid performance as Melvin while Manju warrier and Indrajith are good. Direction by Rajesh pillai is good but had the direction been more precise in the second half, the movie would have been great. The scripts of psychological thrillers require precision and vettah loses that precision in its second half while the first half was terrific.

On the whole, vettah makes for a decent and engaging watch.

My Rating : 3/5

Thozha (Oopiri) : My Review

Thozha is an exceptional movie which lifts your spirits and which leaves a smile on your face even after you leave the cinemahall. 

Karthi simply amazes us with his brilliant acting and dialogue delivery while Nagarjuna emotes well in his role. Amazing story narration and well written screenplay makes this movie, a thorough entertainer. Director does a great job in making this adaptation, a memorable cinematic experience. 

Kollywood needs more of such awesome heart-warming movies which can provide equal entertainment to classes and masses. A must, must watch for all audiences !!

My Rating : 4/5

FAN : My Review

 
Fan is a riveting emotional thriller drama which tells the story of Gaurav Chandna, a die-hard fan of superstar Aryan Khanna.
Shah Rukh Khan delivers a scintillating performance as the protagonist as well as the antagonist. The Movie has no songs but the excellent BGM suits the mood of the movie. The cinematography by Manush Nandan is terrific and the VFX is outstanding. Director Maneesh Sharma does total justice to the script and brings out the best in ShahRukh. 
On the whole, a terrific comeback by Shahrukh, silencing all criticisms and proving once again that he is the King of Bollywood. A great watch for all viewers and for die-hard fans, it's special !!
My Rating : 4/5

Leela : My Review

Some stories are better if they remain as books rather than being adapted for the silver screen. 

Leela is the best example for this. Leela was given rave reviews when it released yesterday. Honestly, the cinematic adaptation is an utter fiasco and a huge disappointment. Apart from good performances from the cast, the film has literally nothing to offer. Even with a running time of only 101 minutes, the film fails to impress a huge portion of the audience. 

My Rating : 1.5/5

Captain America - Civil War : My Review

Don't worry, No spoilers !!
Undoubtedly the best movie of the season, Civil War thrills you with its mind blowing action sequences and engaging story. Screenplay & dialogues deserve special appreciation due to its high entertainment quotient as they provide a perfect mix of Action, Humor and Drama !! All superheroes essayed their role with perfection and Daniel Brühl as the villain, is just terrific. Hats off to the makers for creating such cinematic brilliance!! 
ALERT :There are 2 post credit scenes which you shouldn't forget to watch !!
My Rating : 4.5/5

24 : My Review

Time travel based movies are always a treat to watch. 24 is no exception. 
Vikram K Kumar has scripted and helmed this movie with such perfection and has even modified the time travel concept to suit the Tamil audience.
Suriya gives his career best performance as Sethuraman, Athreya & Manikandan.He is flawless as he delivers his dialogues with perfection and emotes well. The cinematography and the art direction are just terrific and the script has good twists to engage the audience.
This movie is a welcome change from the normal cliche mass movies that release in huge numbers in Kollywood !!
A must watch, you shouldn't miss this movie at any cost !!
