Amen Malayalam Movie Review: Gonzo Meets Guerilla
Like many among you, in my family too, as children – we hated vegetables. It was always the usual fuss around the dining table. Our parents had almost given up, being burdened enough with the guilt of having sent us off to boarding school early on, they never exercised what the diplomatically inclined would refer [...]
Aatma Movie Review: Nothing scary about it
There can be only so many things that one can do in the horror genre. Low camera angles, spooky background score, grey palette and a large rich flat that turns into a murder ville. Suparn Varma’s Aatma has all of these and yet falls short miserably in engaging and spooking the day lights out of [...]
Rangrezz Movie Review: Banality and Unintentional Hilarity of the Highest Order!
People in India make films for different reasons. Many make them purely for the monetary gains. Many also do it for the fame and glamour that is associated with the silver screen. Few find the medium to be a effective tool to make a statement and even fewer use it purely as a form of [...]
Paradesi Movie Review: Bala’s back in familiar territory and it shows
There’s a school of thought which does not subscribe to realistic films made by filmmakers like Bala.

Molly Aunty Rocks: Ranjith Sankar is in his element once again
Benjamin Franklin had once said famously – In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes. What does an ordinary man or woman do when faced with the wrath of the Income Tax Department that comes out to hound you? As somebody who was puzzlingly served an IT notice a [...]
Jhing Chik Jhing Movie Review: A Sucessful Balancing Act
Taking up a serious issue and executing it with success, without being either preachy or overtly emotional, is as difficult a task as any for a director. If the former statement is true then writer-director Nitin Nandan has pulled of a minor miracle. RasikCinema, a few years ago, has taken over cricket as my first [...]
Pasanga: For the child in each one of us
All of us have been kids at some point of time. We have all had our moments of glory, moments of frustration, moments of success, moments of failures etc during our childhood. And barring certain exceptions I’m sure most of us look back with great satisfaction and happiness when we reminisce over our childhood days. [...]
Local Kung Fu Movie Review: ‘Fun’tastic!
There was somehow a false notion in my head that indie film-making in India is all about making a serious point. This was until last year when I saw Software Hardware Kya Yaaron and realized that there are a few who are willing to take the indie route to tickle our funny bone. But Kenny [...]
