Jana Gana Mana
(2022)

Average
Pros : Good story, Great acting.

Cons : Over-dramatic. The Court scenes are blatant mockery of the Court procedures. The Director should learn from abroad Court dramas like HWGAWM where arguments are delivered on the basis of facts and evidences. I guess, Sukumaran cannot help himself from portraying himself large-than-life by lecturing moral science in the Court and fiction telling.

Best Part : Showed the true face of Right-wing Nationalists a.k.a BJP Goons and their dirtiest fascist politics. Nothing to do with Religion though but there was a subtle hint of Godi media.

BURN for BHAKTHS.

Mosagallu
(2021)

Over-rateD mPATHETIC !! Movie
The only thing that was tolerable in this movie was - Suniel Shetty. The rest was simply a garbage. What was Minchu-rian even thinking during the planning stage ? Any sane person who might have done serious research on scams will agree that execution of such fraudulent practices takes months, even years. But in this movie, the so called 'poor' Minchu-rian got deal from his creepy boss in a five star night club and voila !! Next day, they have an office with fat and bearded sidekicks. Each and every character is so full of freaking attitude. Creepy boss is verbally abusing Kajal and Minchu-ran, Kajal is abusing boss and his brother, that beardo is abusing pushing and yelling at staff !! What the hell was happening ?

What more can be ridiculous, the director made IRS look like a ordinary government office with atleast one stupid Indian talking in native language among Americans. Instead of investigating the complaints, the IRS is directly calling Sunil Shetty to find out the culprit whereas technically they should call Indian Embassy first.

Americans are well educated people . They know agencies like IRS, banks etc never call on phone and ask for details. Even in India, IT department and bank continuously warn us about such things. But these ass Minchu-rian without even learning these basics, started directly calling the customers and they actually believed on him.

PATHETIC !!

The Invisible Man
(2020)

Cloak of Invisibility Gone Wrong !!
When I saw the trailer, it gave me the impression of a supernatural theme. But after watching the entire movie, I am bit disappointed. Though, in the departments of music, direction, acting, screenplay etc. The movie is great but there were many gaps in the storyline.

1. Psychopath scientist : It is understandable that scientists seem to be crazy people because they keep themselves immersed in research but it is bit over-the-top to portray them as psychopath. A scientist who has invented an invisibility suit that has paradigm altering capacity to change the world will forget everything and pursue his drifted wife just to torture her ?

2. Adrian is killing people in public buildings and restaurants that are monitored y CCTV cameras and not even police investigated the matter. How come guards are not talking about having seen man appearing in front of him out of thin air !!

3. It was female protagonist all the time. She is doing everything...cooking, cleaning, running, investigating, crying, yelling etc. As if she is the only person with a brain. Rest of the people including her sister, her police friend etc. Are simply dumb mannequins ?

What the freak ?

Soodhu Kavvum
(2013)

one time watchable
Though the movie plot was good and the director probably wanted to convey irony in the form of dark or satirical comedy but he missed little bit of sense. Let's see one by one - 1. Vijay is kidnapping in broad daylight in public places and no one seem to notice or even catch him or even have registered a case with the police ? 2. What was the rationale of putting invisible girlfriend in the movie ? I thought, Vijay might be deranged or psycho ? 3. Bobby Simha is such a talented actor. Why was he being portrayed as a dumb person ? He deserve netter than that. 4. When Arumai double-crossed the gang by causing accident then how come the gang did not retaliated ? They simply accepted the doom and surrendered. This is too stupid even for a comedy. I can write on and on but I hope the writer / director read this and do better work next time.

Raja Ranguski
(2018)

Good movie
I watched this movie only for Shirish. He is such a hot guy with full lips, penetrating eyes, broad shoulder, tall and well built lower body. The actress was okay types and not suitable for the type of character. The producer could have invested to put better character artists. But the story, screenplay, direction, music are good. Shirish need to work more upon his acting skills. He looked nervous all the time.

Tony
(2018)

Good movie
It happens many times that such type of movies comes and goes and nobody notices. While over-rated with actors that are borne out of nepotism get wide publicity, such good movies with new artists, tight script, good acting gets no mention in the mainstream media. Thanks to amateur movie reviewers in social media platforms who try to grab eyeballs by including in their list. Pros : Brilliant direction, good background sound, good acting, tight screenplay. Cons : Too much violence, minor gaps in the story. A killer or vigilante is on loose, breaking and entering into people's houses and killing them, teaching noobs the psychology of killing etc. and nobody around gets to know. Come on ! We live in a country of 137 crore people where such incidents cannot go unnoticed. What about police ? Police is not that lethargic as you think they are unless they are utmost corrupt or puppet in the hands of politicians. Moreover ,it s very difficult to accept the fact that well aware psychology students will get sucked into the "joy" of murdering people on the pre-text of "sins" they have committed. Going by that logic, all politicians should be killed. But they are hard target ..right ? It is much easier to kill a common man. Also, why didn't they approached their professors or police before accepting the "Mentor's" offer. Anyways, the treatment is overall good and with little more improvement, such movies needs more encouragement and publicity.

Seven
(2019)

Average movie
I don't understand. Why most of the movies having such offbeat topic starts with great suspense and end-up totally messed-up. I got really intrigued when many women claimed Havish as their missing husband. The little elements of ghost, reincarnation that was introduced between the main story was also okay. But, I got really disappointed and frustrated when the main culprit is someone else. It seems physical impossibility and logical fallacy. Moreover, whats-up with the make-up of Havish as if the cameraman and makeup artist were at competition to show him like an albino. The kissing scenes were also useless.

Thegidi
(2014)

Good movie
Pros : Good acting, direction, screenplay. Cons : Stale story, Ineffective dialogues. I watched this movie only for Late Sai Prashanth ,Kaali Venkat and Ashok Selvan. I concept of an brilliant detective getting used by fake detective agency for criminal act is not new. I have seen such story in malayalam movies and Hollywood also. However, I appreciate the acting skills and tight direction. However, instead of putting songs, the producer could have spend money on story-building.

Tumbbad
(2018)

Good Work !!
Pros : 1. Good story with a moral lesson. 2. Brilliant cinematography 3. Excellent acting 4. Outstanding sound 5. Tight Direction Cons : 1. The CGI/VFX for the "Hastar" was poor. The creature was clearly looking like an animated figure rather than a living-being. 2. The sex scenes were not necessary. 3. There is too much darkness in the entire movie. Although the theme was dark was sufficient amount of light in normal scenes does not hurt eyes. 4. There should be more dialogues. All the interactions were indicative to certain extent making it difficult for the audience to understand.

Irada
(2017)

Poor Direction and Screenplay
Pros : Good acting, Good story Cons : Poor direction, poor screenplay, poor dubbing After watching the trailer, I thought that it will be as good as Erin Brokovich which has the same theme but then I decided to watch the entire movie on you-tube. But my irritation started when the dialogues were indecipherable while the background music were loud which made it very difficult for me understand the movie by constantly adjusting the volume of the TV. Anyways, after watching for 30 mins around, I immediately realised that it is one of those movie who are considered good in terms of content but poor in technical aspects. Therefore, overall disappointed. Talking about actors, Mr. Shah is as ususal good in any role assigned ot him.. no doubt about him. Mr. Sharad is my dream daddy as listening just to his voice gives me intense orgasm. Ms. Divya is typical in a dominating role which suits her but weird.

Dil Bechara
(2020)

Not worth watching
I cannot give better rating to this movie because of murder of SSR. But I have been watching this movie from last 1.5 hours and I am unable to connect myself with this below average movie. Both lead actors performance were nothing but overacting. The direction is pathetic. Only Sahil Vaid was good. Big dissappointment.

Aa Karaala Ratri
(2018)

Good movie
I am both happy and sad after watching this movie. The reason for happiness was Naveen Krishna. He is my dream-man. An epitome of ruggedness and cuteness at the same time. I was really hoping some hot scenes with Naveen. Rest actors were all good. Though, the sutle erotic remark made by the actress to the other tarzan actor was unnecessary. The story reminds me of those we all have read in Chandamama comics or Panchtantra or Jataka tales etc. The only part that eludes me was that why the hell that tarzan actor flaunted his money gold etc. to that poor family.

RangiTaranga
(2015)

Slight dissapointment
The starting part of the movie is good where it is successful to keep the audience hooked. As the movie progresses, it becomes obvious that the Director or Story-writer became confused or atleast failed to potray the idea on the screen. I won't go into the details as it may reveal suspense but in the later part, most of the facts seems out of place and are simply put to fill the gaps. There was lack of common sense and logic. The actors were horrible except the main antagonist. The good part is nice location, special audio-visual effects.

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle
(2017)

Okay types.
If you are going to watch this movie expecting to be on lines of Jumanji-1, then you will be disappointed. Compared to the part-1, this movie is nothing. Despite of jungle theme, there were less action sequences, poor special effects and overall failed to awe the audience in so many aspects. One thing that was admirable in this movie and that was Comedy. The dialogues, comic timings were good. That's what kept the audience hooked all the time. All the actors were good.

Compulsion
(2008)

Ray Winstone's flick
The only reason I watched this movie is Ray Winstone. What a remarkable man ! Once I got to know that this ia going to be an erotic thriller movie, I got ready for some bang-bang action from this hunky man. But, I got really disappointed when I found the Indian backdrop. No offense to M. Nagra though I liked her in Bend it like a Beckham but she's not suited for erotic type movies. I was really hoping highly explicit sex scenes and a nice ending but overall got disappointed. Anyways, Mr. Winstone is the best.

The Circle
(2017)

An Eye opener
Internet and especially social media is a sweet poison. Initially, you savor it, enjoy the taste till trickles down and becomes a part of your blood stream. No doubt, it has unfortunately become a part of our daily life. Initially, it was voluntary. You had the option to register yourself or live the world in your way. But when the tech companies realised its addiction, your consent no longer matters. That's what this movie is all about. Though, it is not that dramatic as many hoped to be but it is nice in its own way. It is more like a documentary or monologue. Whatever it is, but it is definitely an eye opener. It teaches us to set the boundaries for sharing our information and to take control of our privacy. It is still time, get out if this matrix and breathe free air. I did my part by quitting from Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Its your turn now.

Extraterrestrial
(2014)

Okay types. No high hopes.
What I learned from such movies is that there is always one jerk who attracts trouble, there is always one bully who f****s-up the whole situation in the end and there is always on f***er who just walks underneath the spaceship or super curious a$$***le. Even those aliens were kind enough to spare the lives of that girl and boy. It our own government who killed them. So, who is the monster ? Food for thought. The last two background songs were pathetic. Why that gentle policeman had to die ? and Travis too. Not everyone except lead characters had to die in a survival movie. Last but on the least, what's up with that bloody anal probe ? I know that guy was a complete asshole but simple disembowelment could have sufficed.
