Thanga Meengal

The Best Movie of 2013

A lament narrated with poetry, humour and crackling energy driven by nerve wracking tension set amidst extraordinary grandeur of a quite little village bursting with beautiful lakes, mystical valleys, adorable little insects and lovely children.

The movie takes of like a helicopter from the first scene, takes your breath away and by the time the movie is over you are emotionally drained.

You could get a bit upset with the director that he does not allow you to relish the innocence and the poetry. However in all fairness the narrative requires the palpable tension to enable the viewer to introspect.

The greatest loss of humanity is the loss of innocence. It is a lament that needs to be voiced at the highest decibel. The message is loud and Clear.

Ram, This is responsible Cinema at its best. We are proud of you and there is certainly hope for India.!!!!

Neelakasham Pacha Kadal Chuvanna Bhoomi

A Pleasant, relaxing and intoxicating road trip from Kerala to Nagaland.

This is the first time I am watching Dulquer on the screen, I was reminded of Mamooty and later discovered that he is indeed Mammooty's son. Wow!!! Precocious talent and amazing charisma. I am huge fan of Mammooty, but  I am hoping that the son will surpass his father. 

Dulquer has it within him to send the viewer into a tizzy.

All the best Dulquer....

#AdhalalKadalseiveer(AKS), Tamil

When Juno converges to  Pudhiya Padhai

AKS, roughly translates into, Therefore, Thou shalt Love!!!!

To Abort or Not to Abort? That is the question!!!  Ellen Page in Juno(the Teen protagonist) valiantly decides to have the child and when she breaks the news to her Dad and Step Mom, she has the approbation and admiration of her step mom, who ecstatically refers to her as a Viking!!!!(Nordic Warriors). While the family helps her cope with the dilemma and helps her to deal with the delivery, Jason Reitman(the director) sensitively examines the related Social issues with wit, humor and concern.

Susheendran brilliantly adapts Juno almost perfectly to the Indian scenario. And by improving the climax to explore the impact of reckless actions, he has just delivered a movie that must be seen by every teenager and parent in India.

Worthwhile investing 106 minutes of your life.!!!!

Ainthu Ainthu Ainthu

A well crafted suspense thriller intertwined with a beautiful love story narrated with taste.

The director takes his time to set up the story and then accelerates the story in top gear.

Your heart will flutter in joy when the logic for the title is arrived at.

Bharat has worked incredibly hard, looks Arnoldish(Schwarzengger) and sounds Deolish(Our own Sunny Paji) in many sequences, also dances elegantly and sweeps the heroine and our hearts with his quaintness as a romantic hero!!!! Watch out for Bharath, ooze with emotion when he hugs a hoodlum(who has come to execute him) in delight on making a discovery. Way to go Bharath!!

The vivacious heroine(Mrithika?), a plane Jane who lights up the screen with her wonderful smile. We shall certainly see more of this natural.

The choreography and the song picturisation of the song after interval is one of unalloyed joy. 

The movie could have benefited if the last twenty minutes of violence had been avoided.

The film had to be released suddenly without any publicity. I hope the word spreads around quickly and the people are treated to some good entertainment.

Ship Of Theseus

The narrative is a reflection of our very own journey, exploring the myriad contradictions of creation, the restlessness within, the myopia of of our own vision which all get submerged in the overwhelming magnificence of creation.

An extraordinary experience.
