VIKRAM(2022) MOVIE REVIEW

Image
Vikram  Vikram(old one)  is one of those highly underrated movies made in Tamil which was way ahead of its times for the common audience. I am a mad fan of that movie. Me and couple of my college friends would just keep discussing about that always and it was one movie that could actually had a story worthy of making a remake in the current year and would still be relevant. Old movie had some brilliant actors and Kamal had an equally stylish,charismatic, comedic villain like Satyaraj. Was very excited when I got to know about Lokesh making Vikram new one with Kamal.Ensemble Star cast announcement  only created more expectations.When I watched it, the movie definitely did not let me down. Brilliant story line and it beautifully weaves a new story from where it ended in Kaithi.And add to it the the gone missing old Agent Vikram coming into it . Amazing thinking and need to appreciate Lokesh Kanagaraj just only for that. And when it's also made as a movie without losing anything of th

Kadaisi vivasayi/கடைசி விவசாயி (Last Farmer)

Recently watched this movie.Its probably one the good movies I have seen of late. I have seen both movies of Manikandan 'Kaakamuttai' and ' Aandavan Kattalai' and liked it very much. In both movies he had taken a story which is realistic and showed the slice of life in realistic manner. This movie though similar to his previous movies for most parts also has a a mild but critical element of paranormal/spiritual element to it. Story is set in a village.An old tree in the village is hit by lightening.People feel it's a bad omen.Elders decide to do a Poosai (worship) for their Village Deity to assuage him and get rid of the bad omen. Due to caste conflict they had not done the ritual to their village deity for a long time. Protagnist is an elderly man in the village who leads a simple life and has the only parcel of land with water which can be cultivated.And the paddy cultivated from this has to be offered to the deity.While doing this they face so many ob

Bro Daddy - Feel Good Family Comedy Riot

Prithviraj is a Good Actor without a doubt. He is also turning out to be good director.  His debut film Lucifer was an action packed  brilliant Political Crime Thriller and it turned be very impressively made.(Save for a bit of climax). In Bro Daddy it's surprising (Not entirely) to see him do a Feel Good Family Comedy Entertainer which is poles apart. The story is very quirky and with interesting Twist leading upto Interval. Story is about Eesho(Prthiviraj) who is in a living relationship with Anna(Kalyani) find out she is 2 months pregnant.Though  parents of Eesho- John(Mohanlal) and Anna(Meena) and Anna - Kurian(Lalu Alex) and Elsan(Kanihaa) are family friends they are embarassed to open up to them as they have been acting as if they don't like each other. When Eesho tries to convey to his Dad John an interesting shocker awaits him.Chain of events leads to a laughing riot and finally everything ends well. It's a simple yet beautiful story and more importantly

Minnal Murali A Super Hero film from India which we all can be proud of.(Unlike the ones like Krish, Mugamoodi etc which looked too shallow,sometimes cheesy and seemed to try too much even when watching trailor) Just finished watching the movie in Netflix. Set in 80s-90s timeframe in nondescript  village in Kerala, the director Basil Joseph takes us through a brilliant and highly satisfying and enjoyable Superhero movie . Vilage has 2 ordinary characters who are struck by a powerful lightening and miraculously survive it.Only later they realise that they now possess superhero powers because of that.Life and situations take them in different directions with one becoming a Hero and the other a villain. Brilliant screenwriting as the story starts in a normal and humorous way and slowly shows the Hero and Villain getting to know about their superpowers.As it slowly leads upto a situation where Villain feels wronged by the entire village hold them all to hostage.Needless to say
