Meet Jerinabegam, Chennai's first lady Uber driver who started her journey as a beggar On August 13, just like any other day had to rush for a media meet and booked Uber. As usual, called the driver to inform my drop and pick up location but for some reason, he canceled the trip and I got a call from Uber. But this time, it was a female voice and I thought some customer care

It’s not an easy task to make biopics in India, you have to make a lot of compromises to make sure that nobody gets offended with your film and glorify the protagonist with all necessary positive aspects. Nag Ashwin’s Nadigaiyar Thilagam also have these shortcomings but the film stands tall with the collective team effort and the towering performance of Keerthy Suresh.

Baahubali 2 gives you the high of reading an amazingly written epic novel. Director SS Rajamouli has already transported us to the world of Magizhmathi in the first part, we lived with characters, know how they smile, cry and spill anger. However,  there is still a mystery and excitement to watch the sequel. To be precise, the first part is the phase before the wedding, you think

Kaatru Veliyidai is a typical Mani Ratnam romantic drama with aesthetic visuals, meritorious music, classy characters and a feel-good romance but sadly,  the director fails to score as a captivating storyteller. Everything we witness in the film is a rehashed version from previous Mani Ratnam films!  Just imagine Inba(Madhavan)  and Sashi (Meera Jasmin) from

After watching Bruce Lee, the first thing strikes our mind is how did the director manage to persuade his producer to invest in such a lackluster script.  It’s okay to make a bad film but at least a trace of sincerity would convince the audience, who spend their hard earned money for quality entertainment. Sadly, everything in Bruce Lee is lousy and moreover, the

What really works in favor of Sibiraj’s Kattapava Kaanom is the perpetual comic element sails throughout the film. Just like any other fantasy dark comedy, here too we have multiple characters, a simple story, whacky dialogues and lighthearted climax. All through his life Pandian (Sibiraj) has been only waiting for the lady luck to smile at him, his dad tells him that only a

What if a complex film like Aaranya Kaandam narrated in the most accessible manner, especially for our Tamil audiences, who prefer entertainment over artistic beauty? The end result would have been fruitful at the box office.  Though a film’s quality can’t be judged with how much money it made for producers, satisfying your target audiences should be the main motto for

Ever since the makers of Bogan unveiled the first look poster, there was a buzz in Kollywood saying that the film’s basic story is heavily inspired from John Woo’s stylish fantasy action thriller Face/Off.  Perhaps director Lakshman would have thought that Face Transplantation is a high concept for Kollywood audiences so he preferred the accessible ‘Koodu Vittu

Only few films in global cinema cease the intelligence of the viewers and tug their heart harder that there would be no time to think but only to feel and cry for the characters shown on the big screen. Visaaranai is one such film, where you know that there won’t be any happy ending yet your heart yearns for it! Spoilers ahead… As a

Director Robert Zemeckis, who is known for making feel-good films, which have inspired millions of people across the globe, has once again provided a wholesome entertainment with his 3D biographical drama, The Walk. The Walk is all about the real life high-wire artist (Phillip Pettit), who had walked between the Twin Towers of World Trade Center. In short, Robert Zemeckis has

Director Baltasar Komakur's Everest is based on the real event of 1996 Mount Everest disaster. Generally, audience prefers to see disaster movies because it would provide an edge of the seat ride and most of the times, the execution would be steam-winding with expeditious screenplay and breathtaking visual effects but Everest is an exception. Yes, Baltasar Kamkur has apparently made Everest

‪ All through my life, I always love to observe people. You may call it overhearing and whatever but that's my hobby. Most of the time, I learn many things from these strangers and try to follow the good values from them. As usual, I went to this favorite restaurant of mine along with a friend.

Mohan Raja’s Thani Oruvan is an interesting and intriguing tale between an upright police officer and implacable miscreant, who spearheads most of the organized crimes in the country. Battle between the good and evil is a tried and tested formula in Indian cinema but what makes Thani Oruvan, an enjoyable watch is the arresting screenplay and comprehensible

Jurassic Park is a classic, thanks to Steven Spielberg and every 90s kids were amused when we saw the mammoth extinct animal (Dinosaurs) became immortal in front of our eyes and the stunning VFX gave goose-bumps to every audience of early 90s.

The title Uttama Villain (Uttaman- Good Samaritan, Villain – Baddie) itself is an amusing choice, rarely do we come across such contrasting words coined into a title and to those who don’t know—Kamal initially started the film with a working title—Bitter  Chocolate which is again a coin of words with two contrasting qualities. Not just the title, the entire film and its screenplay

Tell me more… Mani Ratnam’s O Kadhal Kanmani or OK Kanmani has been released and the film has opened amidst unanimous positive reviews from critics, theater owners are happy and most importantly Tamil cinema audiences extremely delighted as the ‘King of romance’ is back.

Grand welcome to booming technologies and bade farewell to good old screenplay writing? “Writing a screenplay, for me, is like juggling. Its like, how many balls can you get in the air at once?

Rajini films are always special; he is not just another superstar who runs his career only with mindless masalas. Rajini’s hit films always have good characterization, there will be a powerful villain and the missions set by him will be difficult enough for the Super Star and how Rajini cross all those hurdles will be a treat to watch but sadly Lingaa doesn’t have any above said

Celebrating one art through another is a rarity but cinema is an excellent medium where you can celebrate an unforgotten art , provided if you got some great actors , excellent technical team and of course a passionate producer to convert your dream into reality. Well, Vasantabalan is lucky enough to get all the above said things in his period-drama Kaaviya Thalaivaan and to be honest,

Jigarthanda is one movie which I was waiting for months, you might ask this is not a star hero film and why I expected for it? There are two reasons, the first one is that I’m a big fan of gangster movies and I really enjoy watching bloodsheds, gang-war and the raw factors in films, thanks to Tarantino’s way of portraying violence with novelty. Second reason is that I loved watching Pizza,
