Theri Movie Review: Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, There’s No Wonder that Vijay in Form is a Real Star
Of late Vijay, one of the most popular actors in Tamil Cinema has been seen working with a lot of young directors, balancing their films with those of senior directors like Shankar and A.R.Murugadoss. Of course not all the films with the younger lot of directors has worked, case in point being his last film, Chimbu Deven‘s Puli which couldn’t meet the huge expectations that it was facing, turning out to be a cold turkey eventually. When Theri, Vijay’s film with director Atlee was announced it didn’t really come as a surprise as such. Atlee who started off as an AD with Shankar, turned director himself with Raja Rani (2013), a film which had worked quite well commercially. With Theri the scale was being upped considerably, being a Vijay film after all and that too an action film, quite different from his previous film. With the promos being well received it was but natural that there was going to be a lot of hype and curiosity over the film. Theri’s success was important for both Vijay as well as Atlee. For Vijay it mattered because the success of Theri could make people forgive him for Puli and for Atlee because it could prove that the success of Raja Rani was no flash in the pan.Continue reading “Theri Movie Review: Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, There’s No Wonder that Vijay in Form is a Real Star”

10 Endrathukulla and the Curious Case of Being Vikram
Vikram is one of the most talented as well as hardworking actors not just in Tamil Cinema, but perhaps across Indian cinema these days. I don’t think I will be exaggerating when I say this. After all for someone who had started off as an actor way back in 1990 with En Kadhal Kanmani,before finally finding success with Sethu in 1999, he has come a long way indeed. It wasn’t that he got a bad start, in the first 3 years of his career itself he had 4 Tamil films as hero, which included films directed by well-known names like C.V.Sridhar, S.P.Muthuraman and P.C.Sreeram. His best bet among these definitely was P.C.Sreeram’s Meera (1992), a film whose music is popular even today but which somehow did not live up to its potential. Later Vikram went on to feature in many Malayalam and Telugu films, mostly as the 2nd lead, in an attempt to survive and keep himself running in the race.Continue reading “10 Endrathukulla and the Curious Case of Being Vikram”

Her(2013) Movie Review: A Warm Blanket Of Human Emotions
Language : English | Running Time : 126 Minutes | Director : Spike Jonze
There might very well be a day when most of us stop feeling and all that will be left is intelligent systems reminding us that we once felt, evolving faster than us. Spike Jonze‘s “Her” is disguised as a romantic comedy and in reality it is a take on human relationships and a wake-up call of sorts. A movie bursting with ambition, it has a story that brings romantic comedy and sci-fi together in a world which is fast becoming more reliant on technology than ever before. Reaction of people to interpersonal relationships when non-conformal and a person’s need to have a relationship is at the forefront of Spike Jonze’s attention here.Continue reading “Her(2013) Movie Review: A Warm Blanket Of Human Emotions”

Spike Jonze’s HER (2013) Movie Review: Numbing Romanticism
What binds the human society together? The need to be with each other? Lust, love, dependency he need to belong to someone. What if this need was removed, eliminated from our DNA? Are humans capable of an isolated existence; sans contact both emotional and physical? What drives us as individuals? Her asks these questions with an unflinching sense of warm romanticism. As it explores the loneliness that defines modern city living in an increasingly technology driven world, Her also falls in love with the very solitude that it tries to dissect and understand.Continue reading “Spike Jonze’s HER (2013) Movie Review: Numbing Romanticism”

NTR Jr.'s Ramayya Vastavayya Movie Review: Same Old Telugu Revenge Drama
The expectations with Ramayya Vastavayya were huge, considering the fact that it brings back together producer Dil Raju and NTR Junior after the success of Brindaavanam. Also director Harish Shankar is fresh from the success of Gabbar Singh just as NTR Junior has been with Baadshah.
Like all mandatory Telugu big star film and like most NTR junior film which seem to exploit and milk the brand of actor NTR, this movie is similar as it has NTR junior mouthing his grandfather NTR’s dialogues ‘Emantivi Emantivi’. NTR Junior (Nandu) is a college student who has no interest in studies at all. He falls in love with Akarsha (Samantha) at first sight, like many Telugu film makers would like to believe falling in love is the same as stalking, here we have Nandu stalking Akarsha and physically molesting her till she also falls in love with her.Continue reading “NTR Jr.'s Ramayya Vastavayya Movie Review: Same Old Telugu Revenge Drama”
