Vikram

2022
7

Vikram is one of the Best Action Mysteries which I have seen in recent times. Technically Vikram is Standard but it would have been much impactful if it had a Demystifying Screenplay. There are Three Elements which Grabbed My Attention, here are those elements: 1. Music Background Score by Anirudh Ravichander Brov is just Remarkable. He delivered Whistle Worthy Moments with the Music. His work elevated many Scenes to another level. Still few tunes are floating in my head. Without a doubt his work is the fulcrum of the Movie Vikram. 2. Action Choreography By looking at the Vikram's Posters, Teaser and Trailer we can easily identify it's Genre. If we heard the Title Vikram, Action will echoes in our Head. Action is the Medial of Vikram and Action Sequences are just Stunning. Huge Appreciation to the Action choreographers Anbariv. Anbariv also known as Anbumani and Arivumani or Anbu and Arivu are the duo Action Choreographers and Stunt Coordinators. Anbariv Created mayhem at the theatres with their Power Packed Action Sequences and made audience to Screech. 3. Direction I know it's a very challenging Script to deal with such a Star Cast, Multiple Characters, Sub-Plots and also on the other hand doing Justification to the Genre. Special Mention to the Director Lokesh Kanagaraj sir. You justified to the Genre you chose sir. I personally felt that there are few flaws in the Writing but Lokesh Kanagaraj sir, your command on the Craft Direction over shadowed the flaws and made the Audience to Celebrate. Especially the way you showed the Weapons and Blood is Tremendously Real. Eagerly waiting for your next Projects sir. Actually the Scene between Kamal sir and Mask Man at the initial portion Grabbed me and I was Awestrucked. Also there are few wow moments here and there like Tina Sequence and Suriya Sir's Cameo. Performances : No words to Praise the Legendary Actors. Each one of them did their best to their Characters. I was exalted by watching Vikram sir on the screen after long time. Vijay Sethupathi sir Enhanced the Character with his Terrific Swag and Acting. Fahadh Faasil sir is Good as Amar. Suriya Sir's Cameo Mesmerized the whole Theatre. Just with few minutes of screen time he made us feel the Evilness and Ruthless Nature of his Character. That's the beauty of his Acting. Other Supporting cast did their parts well. Cinematography is Good and the shots with Robotic Camera are stylish, but didn't add up to the theme or emotion being conveyed. One Good example of Robotic Camera usage is from the movie Trance(2020), which was very effective, stylish and also had a Visual appeal to the storytelling. I personally felt that in some portions Screenplay was Fuzzy. I guess it's because of Multi Perspectivity and Rapid Editing Pace. Second Viewing may give us more clarity in few portions. The Sub-Plot involving Baby and the insights about the disease is pretty interesting but in the Action-Packed Vikram Emotional Sequences are not very Impactful. In Kaithi, Dilli wants is to Reunite with his daughter Amudha. Kaithi is also an Action-Packed Film and it had little room for Emotions but still we could connect to it. But in the Case of Vikram it didn't work out well. Even at the Pre climax Baby's CPR Sequence adds no tension to the Proceedings. Bottom Lines : Vikram is a kind of Easy-to-Guess Mystery binded with Compelling Background Score and Good Action Sequences. Technically Vikarm is Standard especially Music. But Sporadically I felt high. Screenplay and few portions in Writing could have been much better. Personally I loved Kaithi in terms of Screenplay and Emotional Impact. Without a Comparison Vikram is Definitely a Worth Watching movie. I suggest you to watch it in Theatres.

Major

2022

Major, it is just not a Movie, it's The Movie of A Solider's Sacrifice, A Family's Sacrifice. Personally Major Cranked up my Emotions. There are many Racy Action Sequences which will give us High, probably Goosebumps. Apart from Racy Action sequences there are also few dialogs which will give us high equally to the Action blocks. Technically Major is near to Perfect. There are many films that have been made on the 26/11 attacks but Major is unique because of its Heart touching and Emotional sequences. Writing : I'm personally damn impressed with the Writing, Screenplay is 👌.Appreciation to Adivi Sesh Anna.Especially the way he written the Meet Cute Sequences are very impressive, and these sequences are not like cliches out there. Adivi Sesh added fresh spin to it. The way Adivi Sesh handled the Character of Isha is very mature. We can see her story, her pain and we can see her Sacrifices as a wife. Best part is she is never portrayed in a negative way. But I Personally felt that few portions are fictionalized because of Cinematic Boundaries, also initial portions are bit flat and there is lack of drama between Wife and Husband issue. Also there are few minor flaws which are acceptable, This portions could have been much better. Apart from that rest all 👌 Direction : No words to praise the Director Sashi Kiran Tikka sir. You proved your command on the Craft with the movie Goodachari. Now India is watching your Picture. You truly deserves it man... Congratulations and All the Best for your next Projects sir. Music and Audiography : Yet again Sri Charan Pakala Sir delivers Rivetting Background Score, which took the Action sequences in Major to Another level👌. The Music is a Great asset and it Elevated many scenes. The clear and sharp Sound Design Made the scenes feel more Realistic and Immersive. Cinematography & Lighting : The Visuals of Major immerses us into the story of Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan Sir, Especially the Composition and Angles used in some Frames are Top Notch. The Handheld Shots and Lighting captured the Emotions of the Characters in a very Authentic way. The Lighting also played a key role in Blending the shots and Visual Effects. Huge Appreciation to Cinematographer Vamsi Patchipulusu Sir and his Team👏 Editing: Editing such a Biopic without loosing the Soul and Emotion of the movie is a Difficult Task. But both the Editors of Major, Vinay Kumar Anna and Kodati Pavan Kalyan Anna succeeded in it. They Masterly Edited both the Emotional and Action sequences which are two extremes👏 Performance : Adivi Sesh anna is perfect as Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan Sir. He just nailed both as a Charming Teenager and Passionate Major. His screen presence is an added boon and he added one more Great Performance to his list of the Best. Pakash Raj garu and Revathy garu just lived in their roles, we can feel thier Pain. Saiee Manjrekar did her best as Isha. Other supporting cast justified to thier roles. My Bottom Lines : We already know the Story of 26/11 attacks. And also we know that Sandeep will End up a Martyr. We all are familiar with the Major Events but still Major the Film will hook us, will crank up our emotions, will give us High with Racy Action Beats and will make us to think about the Sacrifices made by the Solider's Family. There are minor flaws in the film like initial portions are bit flat, lack of drama between Wife and Husband issue. This Portions Could have been much better. Technically Major is Standard. Take a bow to the entire team. And Thank You Adivi Sesh anna for giving us Major.

Spider-Man: No Way Home

2021

First of all Kudos to the Marvel for their Brilliant Idea of No Way Home and redefining the Spiderman Movies to the best way possible. It's a movie that each and every Spidey Fan will love to the core. First half establishes the plot and all the characters, second half is just 💥 with extraordinary sequences and visuals. Appreciation to all the Cast for agreeing to play their old roles. Personally I'm impressed with Willian Dofoe's acting as Green Goblin, Tom Holland performance also good. Director Jon Watts sir did an extraordinary job 👏🏻.Even emotional connectivity also flourish. Technically it's a standard Piece. Cinematography, Editing, VFX, Background Score what not Technical aspects are just 🔥. But I personally felt that, Technical aspects and Story wise "Spiderman : Far From Home" was better. But still, Without doubt you'll enjoy this movie thoroughly. It's a Must Watch for all Marvel and Spidey fans out there. Don't miss out the post credits scene, surprise is waiting for you.

Hugo

2011

Personally I loved the sets of Hugo. Costumes, set properties was Stunning 👏🏻. Cinematography was just extraordinary 👌🏻. Especially some tracking shots were damn Impressive. Editing, Color grading and lighting was outstanding 👏🏻. Both lead child artists did an amazing job 👍🏻. Loud applause to the Director Martin Scorsese sir, this movie is a unique one in his career. Everything was good, filmmaking was epic, cinematography was extraordinary but the only thing disappointed me was the story, it has much potential to balance the epic sets and all. Few portions were dragged but still it's a must watch for budding filmmakers and a movie that children will love. If you are looking for rich visuals then try Hugo.

Apocalypto

2006

There are only few movies out there which will bring both excitement and glee to our heart while watching. And Apocalypto falls under this shelter. One of the best Action Adventure with epic Filmmaking 👏🏻. First and foremost huge Applause to the Art Department, Costume Designers and Make up Artist 👏🏻. I was personally damn impressed with the Set, Set Props, Costumes, Makeup and Cinematography. Most of the frames were Artistic 👌🏻, Appreciation to the Cinematographer Dean Semler sir 👌🏻. Each and every Actor justified to their roles. Writing was pretty impressive, few setups and pay offs were splendid, few portions were flat but most of the scenes were epic. Kudos to the Director Mel Gibson sir for his vision and taking 👏🏻

The Batman

2022
7

We all are well aware of The Batman's Childhood, how his Parents died, insights of Gotham City, Batman Family's Legacy and so on... So nothing new to mention Super specially. But there is a Brilliant point where no one is focusing, Batman is actually a great Detective in the Comics but in the Movies, his detective skills are foreshadowed. When it comes to Pattinson's The Batman Director Matt Reeves Sir tried to explore Detective stuff but still those detective scenes are not very impactful. Robert Pattinson as Batman is apt and he did his part with an ease. Riddlers Character is interesting but should have been handled in a much better way. Collin Farrell as Penguin delivered a Good performance, the Prosthetic make up is impressive. Action Sequences are top notch especially the Car Sequence will give you High. Cinematography by Greig Fraser is Excellent👏, Sound design is Amazing👌and Editing was Good. DC movies are generally Dark in tone but The Batman also followed the same. My Bottom Lines: It's a Good watch but not as great as the Nolan's Dark Knight Trilogy

83

2021

Firstly appreciation to the makers, It's a tough film to make. People who witnessed the 1983 World Cup will relate to the events happened during that era. People who didn't, will get a chance to watch Greatest Episodes of Indian Cricket History on screen. First half is decent but I personally felt that it could have been much better. Makers purely focused on the drama on Pitch and moments of Dressing room but I felt that it would have been more impactful, if they had included training episodes and basic insights about few Characters like Lala Amarnath Sir character. While watching I was not aware of him, but after watching I was left out with a doubt that who is this Lala Amarnath?? Then after going through research I came to know about his Greatness. He was Independent India's first Cricket Captain and captained India in their first Test series win against Pakistan in 1952.He scored a century for the Indian National Cricket Team in Test cricket. Yeah I know movie is not about Lala Amarnath sir but I felt it will impact us much if the makers provide little insight about few characters because we 2k kids don't know about great players, so we are unable to recognise them on screen. Coming to the second half, it's satisfying and realistic. I felt like watching a real cricket match, And the climax is Amazing👏. Best part is that the makers included real match footage inbetween, Appreciation for that. Applause to the Casting Director, Each and every character resembles like the original characters. Ranveer Singh is apt for the role, He did his best 👏. Other Supporting Cast also did their parts well. Kudos to the Director Kabir Khan Sir for giving us (2k kids) a chance to witness the Greatest Historic win by our Nation. Cinematography and Lighting is Decent, Editing and Music is Good. My Bottom Lines : I personally enjoyed it even though it has flat portions here and there. And it has more potential to bleed our hearts because of the crazy combo Cricket & Movie, but over all it's a Good Watch. If you are a Cricket lover and you are excited to know what happened in 1983 World Cup, then it's your match to watch. If you are not into Cricket, then it's not your turn. You won't connect to the movie, So better skip it.

Mahaan

2022
7

It's a Stylish Action Gangster Drama. Plot and subplots are interesting. Few scenes like the face off scenes between Vikram sir and Dhruv Vikram sir, bonding and emotional scenes between Vikram and Bobby Simha sir are good. Appreciation to the Director Karthik Subbaraj Sir for extracting good drama and emotions. But there are few loopholes in the film, first half is bit draggy and writing in few portions are flat. Second is good with well written ending. Vikram sir's Characterization is impressive and the way he transforms as a Gangster is well Written. Vikram sir pulled off different shades like Anger, Fear, Pain, Helpless conditions with an ease. Dhruv Vikram also did an amazing job, his Screen Presence, Acting and Attitude is an added advantage to the story. Bobby Simha sir and other supporting cast also did their parts well. Coming to the tetechnical aspects Cinematography by Shreyaas Krishna is Brilliant. Especially Single Shot fight sequence is the highlight of the film. Even composition and lighting also grabbed my attention. Music by Santhosh Narayanan sir elevated many scenes and his music is added feather to the film. Art work and Costumes are amazing, appreciation to the Art department. Editing could have been much better but Color Grading is significant. My Bottom Lines : It's a Good Watch. People who like Gangster Dramas don't miss it, definitely you will love Mahaan.

Minnal Murali

2021
8

One of the best Indian Super Hero Film ever made. Writing and Direction Appreciation to the Writers Arun Anirudhan sir and Justin Mathew sir. Applause to the director Basil Joseph Sir. While watching this movie, 4 elements mesmerized me. 1) Village Super Hero There are many super hero's out there but Minnal Murali is something different. Writer and Director Basil Joseph sir set the story in a village, so this enhanced the Nativity, Realism and made it more Relatable and Natural. 2) Characterization Firstly I wanna talk about The Super villian Selvan characterization. One of the best Written Villain Characterisations which I have seen in recent times. Super Villain Selvan will leave an impact on us. Even though it's a Super Hero film, we never feel Hero domination or over the top stuff. Makers gave an equal importance to both the Super Hero and Super Villain which is the best part in the film. I’m damn impressed with the Super villain characterization. Makers portrayed the Super villains internal conflicts, external conflicts, back story, everything in a very authentic way. Coming to the Super Hero Jaison . His characterization and his character arc also impressive. Even for supporting cast also writers justified. 3) Fresh Spin There is this sentence in the book Save the Cat - “Give me the same thing… only different!” I guess Minnal Murali is the best example for this. Even though there are regular traditional super hero patterns in Minnal Murali, but while watching we feel very fresh and original. That’s the beauty of well written story. Writers carefully written by putting a fresh spin on cliches. 4) Transformation from one Emotion to Another Minnal Murali offers us Fun, Entertainment, Emotions and many more. But the way a silly scene turns to be a serious scene is very well Written and Directed. It worked well in a Convincing way. According to me this is the hardest part of Writing. Coming to the Actors Performances Tovino Thomas sir did his best. Guru Somasundaram sir just nailed it. Supporting cast also did their parts well. Coming to the Technicalities Cinematography by Sameer Thahir sir is excellent, the way they used the lighting is impressive. Music by Sushin Shyam and Shaan Rahman is the added boon to the film. Music elevated many scenes. Editing by Livingston Mathew sir is good Special mention to the Art Department and VFX crew. My Bottom Lines : I definitely recommend you to watch Minnal Murali. It offers you a lot as I said above. And deep down it also have flaws which are acceptable. Appreciation to the entire cast and crew of Minnal Murali.

K.G.F: Chapter 2

2022
7

I can say that K.G.F is one of the best Action Drama franchise in Indian History. Coming to the K.G.F chapter - 2. It is loyal to Chapter - 1 but not as perfect as Chapter - 1. We all know that Mother is the fulcrum of the story and Rocky's actions are driven by rage and promise made to his mother. Chapter - 2 also follows the same soul. First half is decent. Giving recap of Chapter - 1 by using Children is inventive and i loved it to the core, Best recap which i have seen👌🏻. Car sequence is amazing especially the way they edited it is splendid 🔥. Personally I felt that the face off between Rocky and Adheera is not soo impactful, I guess there drama didn't work out well, so impact is wan. So sporadically I felt high in the first half. And flatter first half ends on a high note but I'm very much impressed with the post interval scene. Second half is good, the promise made by Rocky to his mother echoes in every event. As we all know that Police Station scene is the best in second half🔥. I don't want to spoil but I'm very much touched with a dialogue called "Mother is coming". Climax is satisfactory and well written but the battle between Rocky and Adheera is bit artificial, especially the fire movement at the background. Writing and Direction : (Here I'm talking about both Chapter - 1 and Chapter - 2) Loud applause to the Writer and Director Prasanth Neel sir. In chapter - 1 mostly Every scene, every dialogue elevates the character or proceeds the story forward. Chapter - 1 overpowered us with mass elevations and also it melted our hearts with a Mother and Son Emotional Bonding. I guess in chapter - 1 Drama is perfectly balanced, eventually we connected to the 2 E's, Emotions and Elevations. But when it comes to chapter - 2. Few dialogues and elevations worked really well and I personally felt that Drama is bit wan so eventually I didn't get connected as I got connected to the emotions in the Chapter - 1. But the best part about both chapters is "Rocky". Rocky's Attitude is more lethal but he is a man with a Heart of Gold. A well written character. Coming to the direction. Prasanth Neel sir's vision echoes in each and every frame. The way he created the K.G.F world, his taking, his kind of elevations, what not... everything is amazing with both pros and cons. Music : Rip-Roaring background score by Ravi Basrur sir is the backbone of both Chapter - 1 and Chapter - 2. I think Ravi Basrur sir is the Gold mine that Prasanth Neel sir has. And I personally liked the songs and background score of chapter - 1 than the Chapter - 2. Editing : Editing of Chapter - 2 by Ujwal Kulkarni is good. Huge appreciation to Ujwal brov. You deserve all the blessings and applause brov. Ujwal kulkarni did his best to match the Director Prasanth Neel sir vision. And I personally felt that Cross cuts intercuts Or flits between flashbacks raised the stakes higher but the same formula didn't worked in other portions too. I guess because of fast cuts it's very difficult to route a character and some times flaws in the extraction of drama will happen. Cinematography : Visuals by Bhuvan Gowda sir perfectly helped to build the K.G.F world and driven us into the story right from the first frame. The Lighting and color grading also played a key role to set the mood. Appreciation to the Cinematographer Bhuvan Gowda sir and other technicians for enhancing the vision of Prashanth Neel sir. Performances : Yash as Rocky at his best 👍🏻. His swag, his superb stylish costumes, the way he performed, everything is appreciable👏🏻. Supporting cast like Raveena ma'am as Ramika Sen, Sanjay Dutt sir, Srinidhi Shetty ma'am, Archana ma'am and others did their parts well. My bottom lines : K.G.F franchise is India's one of the best Action Drama, no doubt in it. K.G.F Chapter - 1 is epic, no doubt in it. K.G.F Chapter - 2 is technically Grander, Stronger and Louder but I personally loved Chapter - 1 than Chapter - 2. One of the reason for my call is that in Chapter - 1 Drama is perfectly balanced, eventually Emotions and Elevations worked really well but in chapter - 2 Drama is pale and I didn't get connected as I connected to chapter - 1. Other reasons are opening scene, plot point - I, interval bang, plot point - II and climax was damn high in chapter - 1 than in chapter - 2. That doesn't mean chapter - 2 is bad. Chapter - 2 is also epic in it's own way, no doubt in it. But still I will recommend you to watch it in theaters and dont miss the hooting, whistling and K.G.F mass vibes in theaters.

RRR

2022

I can say that RRR is India's the best Action Drama till date. Mannnn!!!! What a Watch. Mad Feast!!!! I'm out of words to describe First half. It has everything and it is damn satisfying. Right from the first frame I was completely involved in the film. I guess first half is about 1hr 40mins but I dono how the time passed. Interval Bang is jaw dropping🔥and it's High Very High. Second half is amazing with perfectly executed Action sequences and with few touching&emotional rides here and there. I don't want to criticise but as a Film buff I personally felt that in 2nd half flash back scenes could have been better and few portions are less connective. Apart from this rest all Lit🔥. Technically RRR is flawless.
