Panjumittai Movie Review

Appu (Ma Ka Pa) and Kuppu (Sendrayan) are childhood friends who can’t even think of living in different places. As both of them grow up, they start earning their living by working in a hotel. Trouble starts between them when Appu gets married to a girl (Nikhila). He starts hating Kuppu’s constant presence when he is with his wife. He also starts noticing that Kuppu’s dress colour is always similar to that of his wife’s. A peeved Appu starts suspecting his wife and tries his best to keep her away from Kuppu. Later, he consults a doctor who explains Kuppu’s weird behaviour.  

Interestingly, like Kuppu’s behaviour, the film, too, is weird, thanks to its amateurish making, loud performances of the lead actors and poor CG scenes. An outlandish plot coupled with exaggerated histrionics and extreme close-up shots make the viewing experience a terrible one. A comparatively better second half and a not-so-bad flashback episode are the only saving graces of this otherwise horrific movie.

Antony Movie Review

Antony Movie Review A few years ago, actor Jai Akash tried to 'adapt' the Ryan Gosling thriller Buried as En Uyir En Kaiyil - about a man who is buried alive inside a coffin. Now, director Kutii gives a different spin to the premise - a man gets trapped in a car that is buried under the earth - and goes about showing his attempts to survive, and the search by his father, in a ham-fisted manner. The film begins with Antony (Nishanth), a cop, waking up to discover that he is trapped in a car that is buried under the earth. He cannot remember how he ended up this way, and tries to figure out who among the many men whom he has rubbed the wrong way could be behind this, and also how to get out of this precarious situation. Meanwhile, his father, George (Lal), and girlfriend Maha (Vaishali), who is waiting for him at the registrar's office, to get married, begin a search, going through the people who might want Antony out of their way. The survival thriller-m...

KARGIL MOVIE REVIEW

First thing first – a huge shout out to debutant director Sivaani Senthil for coming up with a film that shows on camera just one character, while the others (okay, the girlfriend was part of one song) are just voices. The concept is applause-worthy, but the execution? The film opens with a song, and we are told that Arjun (Jishnu Menon) and Maha (Prarna Sathani) are madly in love and she asks him to pick up her father from Chennai airport the next noon and head to Bengaluru, where she will be meeting them all. While Arjun is all set to impress his prospective father-in-law, he is asked by Sindhu - his MD and boss’s live-in partner - to head to Bengaluru for the US project interview – which he failed the last time, but lied to Maha that he got through - by afternoon. Left with no choice, he asks his uncle to pick his could-be father-in-law up and sets off in his car. All could have been well, except that on his way, he gets numerous phone calls from his uncle, Maha, her father,...

Naa Nuvve Movie Review

When the cast and crew list features names like Jayendra Panchapakesan – who has hundreds of ad films to his name, PC Sreeram – who has wielded the camera for Mani Ratnam for some of his most famous films, Sharreth – whose music for the film was appreciated much before the film’s release and a versatile Tamannaah and Kalyan Ram in lead roles, nothing less than cinematic magic is expected. Subha, the name used by the writing partnership of D Suresh and AN Balakrishnan, also wrote this one with Jayendra, with their previous collaboration being ‘180’. However, what is delivered to the audience are endless random scenes that are supposed to make one believe in the magic of destiny. Maybe it would even work, if only they stitched together well! Meera (Tamannaah) is the happy-go-lucky girl who’s told the good news that she has passed her exams on her fourth attempt just when she comes across a picture of Varun (Kalyan Ram). Believing him to be her lucky charm and in poss...
