Its like watching old film in new camera with sensible dialogues and action scenes which had sense of understanding physics. Dialogue delivery and its timing is exemplary. Comedy at right times and expressions while delivery it was enough for good laugh. Main negative aspect about this film is that it doesn't have strong plot to manage the whole story and its uneven and irrational scenes got me annoyed. It sure doesn't attract audience but it sure is a decent one but should have done good job on story.

Arun Matheswaran is a type of director whose filmography needs to be learn. He using his significant storytelling into the art of cinematography. I love when cinematography and storytelling speaks more than scripts. Definitely a feather in the cap of Keerthy Suresh. Kudos to the cinematographer and editor they're as equally important as Keerthy Suresh.

After watching this movie Wish all the Victims can fulfil their revenge instead of depending on the Police lawyers and Judges. So crimes will come down and cases won't pile up in our sleeping courts.

My takeaway from the movie is that treat your fellow human being as a human being.

Most of the people of India r not understand this kind of movies. They don't have that kind of view which can see the reality of content. It starts off with a lot of Humor, but as the Movie progresses it just go darker and darker. It will make you laugh but at the same time also make you angry about the Social Injustices. I feels the touch of "Parasite" and "slumdog millionaire" at same time in very grounded way.

The Storytelling and Characterizations are pretty good, a Must See Movie for me.

From the bottom of my heart please don't ruin this franchise. There are many voilent mass action movies but somehow director didn't paid enough attention in the other side of this movie, the iconic gripping investigation side of this movie franchise. The first two parts are top of the margin imo. There was a high chance for you with Nani, he don't give a flop in last 5-6 years. For him only iam giving 1 extra star and besides I am also excited for karthi in the next part so hope it works.

It lifts the heart, makes it swell. It says it's not the end of the road.

One more shot

I was not sure what to expect from this one but I was not disappointed. slow moving yes but with some fine acting and some good cameos. Irrfan was superb as Billu the humble barber, Lara Dutt is his long-suffering wife, and Shah Rukh Khan essentially plays himself as we've all seen him in countless movie roles. A mixture of comedy, pathos and drama plus of course dancing, this film delivers and if you have a tear in your eye at the end you won't be the only one.

Is this a different revenge story from others?/ yes, is there good cinematography being a action movie?/ yes, is the storytelling is good from a debundant director Arun Matheswaran?/ yes, the movie deliver a good ending?/ yes.

Why should you watch this? /- this is not a typical Indian mass action movie, there is story, drama, brutal action and a satisfactory end.

Sorry AK we were not aware of your vision back in time🙇🏻.

Karthik Sabbaraj is a jewel and S J Surya is a gem Before this movie I didnt have much of an appreciation for Raghava lawrence but I have to say, paired with a good director like Karthik, he is amazing and I came out a fan too.

Film is a emotional ride, very rare for films these days to make us cry because they always try to be mass entertainers but someone Karthik strikes a perfect balance of a commercial mass entertainer which also includes emotional tear jerking scenes. Karthik, you don't choose cinema, cinema chooses you!!

I love women in men dominant field.

Dare I say one of the best action movies of the last couple of years. Though Marvel knows for the massy ending fights, the lite fight scenes and action blend perfectly with the dark and sad storyline of the movie.

Finally the humor and the comedy of the movie is pure perfection, something we had in Deadpool and Wolverine but didn't get in other recent MCU movies, so we really needed it.

This is a mythological thriller where everyone act brilliant in their roles. Soumitra Chaterjee looks convincing enough in his role as the husband. I'm not a big Short film fan but this is something intriguing me to watch more short films.

Lite hearted family drama, actually you need no reason to watch this typa movie just enjoy with your friends and family with good vides and a moral. Just like the last Manikandan movie I watched Good Night.

One of the underrated SSR movie. Sushant Singh Rajput made acting comes to true. A western style bollywood action thriller, excellent direction by Abhishek Chaubey. Sonchiriya is overshadowed under Kesari, Uri, Gullyboy in that time period. Bhumi is stunning with hs effortless acting. I want more movies like this to come from Bollywood.

How this film ed the cencership back in days?? No one dare to make such a movie now. We are so busy iring the bubble created by media, politicians, film industry...that i caused a blindness. A blindness of ignorance. We ignored the major part of our society. We ingored their identity, their rights. We so needed this film.

The more I think about this movie, the more superficial and flat it becomes. Some people call the movie pretentious, but it isn't even that. There is nothing there for it to be pretentious about.

This will spoil your sleep for sure if you are watching at night. Especially the last 15 minutes. I was really sweating due to fear. This is really one of the best malayalam horror movies i watched!

I was not expecting too much since in my watchlist but it was scary and not a typical bollywood horror, it was something different. One of the best act of Anushka Sharma also Parambrata was as usual good.

After a really long time, I've come across a creative horror piece made in India. Kudos to the writer for rewiring this genre! So well written and well acted! The lead Monika is fabulous and acted extremely well. There are some good jump scares but it is the creepy undertone augmented by real life references that make the series worth watching.

"Churuli" is an eccentric tale dealing with the concept of the Time loop. The language is just a medium to create a conceptual reality. In other words, the cuss words are not just used for heck of it. It's actually used to show the crass, crude and the raw nature of the people in the village of Churuli.

A smart written crime thriller with a decent twist. In the very act Basil Joseph and Soubin Shahir as usual excellent performance. Overall it ends as a good watch. But a big shout out to this movie's director who is technically very gifted. Will be keen to watch what he does next.

One of the best court room drama I watched. I still can't believe this is a directorial debut! It's engaging, meaningful, and leaves you with a lesson at the end of the day. Priyadarshi and Sivaji are their usual - effortless acting. They makes acting easy. Overall a simple but quite powerful story which must be watch.

Entertaining to watch and fun. Yet not something you really seek to watch again as the scenes become more cringe than Entertaining. Still I didn't hate it.

I won't go into too much detail, but I was spellbound from the opening credits until the closing ones. The story starts out so rough and scary, but becomes a work of happiness and beauty. To think that this movie almost didn't get made is a travesty. One of the best work of Miyazaki.

I wish I could ride that cat bus. What a wild and kind imagination an artist should have to create it. How much happier we all are knowing that Hayao Miyazaki exists and makes his amazing films at the Studio Ghibli for which King Totoro is the mascot.

The look on his face tells us that he knows that he has won the battle but lost the war.//

Uttam Kumar is regarded the greatest star of Bengali Cinema (a MahaNayak). It is quite apparent that Ray's favourite actor was Soumitra Chatterjee. Nayak and Chiriakhana are the only two films Ray made with Uttam. It is an ironic film made at a time Uttam was at his peak of his star status like his character Arindam and this movie almost feels like a Ray's satirical tribute to Uttam - smooth professional that he was Uttam unperturbed gives a superb performance. Nayak is my personal favourite of Ray films and certainly the best of Uttam's films. Sadly, still I have never been able to see Chiriakhana. has anyone seen this film? It is the only whodunit Ray filmed without Soumitra in the lead role. Wonder why Satyajit didn't continue with Uttam after this performance...

Charulata is a adaptation of Tagore's novella "নষ্টনীড়" (The Broken Nest) and delves deep into the human psyche, exploring themes of love, loneliness, and the quest for self-expression.

Madhabi Mukherjee's portrayal of Charu is both poignant and powerful. Her expressive eyes and subtle gestures convey a wide range of emotions, from joy and curiosity to despair and longing. Something is special bond presence in Soumitra Chatterjee and Madhabi Mukherjee that impact a solid expression in the movie.

Watching Satyajit Ray movies is like Film School unto itself. The way movie ends with simplicity of things is I cherish a lot about this movie.

The trademark Ray is at full display, as the final of the trilogy draws to a close. No adjectives can describe how ray tells the tumultuous adulthood of Apu. A painful and depressing flick, but so very beautiful and heartwarming. The final scene of him leaving with his son, gave me goosebumps!!

Ray's directing is even more subtle and mature in the second part of the Apu trilogy as he presents one of the most powerful mother/son dynamics cinema has ever seen.

After 2 years now I got time for this masterpiece. Anyway, Pather Panchali in 1955 is perhaps Ray's best known work to date and is the first part of his Apu Trilogy. He sees the world through the eyes of his protagonist Apu and weaves his brand of lyrical realism in the film. The Bengali film has won honours at the Cannes Film Festival and is counted amongst the best films in World Cinema. As a Bangali we just feel so proud that Satyajit Roy is belongs to us.

The real Salim Shady stands up! Ranveer Singh everytime proved that when kept under control, he's as good an actor as any leading man in India. Siddhant Chaturvedi is a standout debut and Alia Bhatt picks up yet another notch in the W column. Of course the rapping was insane that pulled a large audience through "Aapna time aayega ", and it absolutely delivers. Kudos to Zoya Akhtar.

A fresh approach in every sense. Really enjoyed the movie from start to end. The story is told in a non linear way and also its full of fights and its an entertainer just enjoy the film instead of thinking a lot about it.

It's easy to find love but it's hard to find a bad Shoojit Sircar movie. Ledding by Ayushman Khurana but no one could takes the limelite from Annu Kapoor. Beautiful movie yaar, one of with my favourite Ayushman song "pani da". I don't know but Ayushman's love and obsession for bengali girls are too adorable and cute.

The storyline is quite average but all the extra stuff in the movie (the comedy, action, twists) make it a movie worth watching, specially the ending saved this movie.

Paul Walker and Vera Farmiga make a great team with their on screen chemistry.

It's one of the best action sci-fi movies I've seen in years. Everything about this film just works. The pacing, the action, the time-loop concept—it’s all executed perfectly. It feels heavily inspired by anime, and I mean that in the best way possible. The storytelling is tight, the visuals are stunning, and there’s no unnecessary fluff. Just straight-up, high-energy sci-fi action with a unique twist.

Jeremy Irons is a welcome sight and lends credibility to the film, even though he doesn't get much screen time.

This film is a fine blend of both comedy and emotions. Some scenes are truly remarkable and are going to be ed for long. This is a not your typical bollywood family story. It was refreshing and something new back in bollywood.

Ngl its a perfect blend of comedy with crime thriller, the soundtrack was another highlight of the movie!! Just for a short time it feels lengthy but in that time period you will engrossed in the movie. Overall it's a fun watch.

Before mayaanadhi the last time I saw a realistic love story in malayalam was Annayum Rasoolum. Tovino, aishwarya and rest of the cast performed their roles well but the real show stealer is soubin who proves that for an actor only one scene and no dialogues are enough to strike an impact among audience. Climax leaves a lump on your throat. You feel like a fresh air coming slowly on your face while watching mayaanadhi. Maayanadhi is Aashiq Abu's best work till date.

Glimpse of Anurag Kashyap's as a badass villainess supreme being nd bump!! Hunumankind was too good as actor, all in one pack. A family action thriller, It starts off slow, carefully developing the characters. As the plot progresses, the pace picks up, and you're completely hooked. I noticed some plot points are similar to "Ready or Not" in absolutely totally desi style and it doesn't ruin that flow.
