DHURUVANGAL PATHINARU(D-16) REVIEW:
Cast : Rahman, Ashwin Kumar
Director : Karthik Naren
Music: Jakes Bejoy

A scene where Rahman asks two guys “ short film title enna?” “Pradhi(Director’s short film)”, replies the guys. Karthik Naren, a 22 year Coimbatore guy learning film making with short films and making his debut venture, Dhuruvangal Pathinaru. D-16 is about a cop (Rahman)  solving a murder.
 In 1994, Pulp fiction, a film by Tarentino was popularly spoken for non linear narration. In 2016, D-16 will set a great example for such non linear narration. The narration does not spoon feed the details, but lets the audience do the thinking. You can find yourself thinking with Rahman during the film. The amount of detailing in the script makes it flawless without any logical loopholes.
Rahman’ s acting glorify Karthik’s vision. Every other characters has a very crucial roles in the story and each of them had done their justice. The sounds and background music by Jakes Bejoy is another hero along with Rahman.
When the narration is non linear, editor has the responsibility of convincing the audience. The editor has beautifully crafted, bringing everyone to the edge of the seat. The Cinematography and clarity in the visuals gives a Hollywood touch to the film.



Verdict: There are a few films that glues your eyes to screen, but D-16 glues your mind and plays tricks with it.    
3.75/5

Mayaanadhi Review

Cast: Tovino Thomas, Aishwarya Lekshmi, Illavarasu Year: 2017 Music: Rex Vijayan Direction: Aashiq Abu It took me hours to come out this film. Mayaanadhi is a type of film that traps you into its world and leaves you enthralled. In the opening sequence we hear Maathan (Tovino Thomas) taking about his future and we see sky as the visual. The future is vast and so far away like the sky. Mayaanadhi is a romantic thriller. The romance of Maathan and Aparna (Aishwarya Lekshmi) is just amazing and used wonderfully to the crime part of the film. Tovino as Maathan not only looks good but also his acting is brilliant. His small facial expressions like getting frustrated for a phone call or while motivating Aparna over call adds value to the character. Aishwarya Lekshmi as Aparna Ravi is also brilliant on screen. I loved the scene where she slaps Maathan, walks away fast, and then gradually slows down till she stops. One of the biggest things that Malayalam cinema doe...

Arjun Reddy Review

Cast: Vijay Deverakonda, Shalini, Rahul Ramakrishna, Music: Radhan Direction: Sandeep Vanga When the film gets over and while you walk out of the theatre have you heard a few people saying “It’s a normal same old story” (No one did for this film). Arjun Reddy is such a film with same old story. Arjun Reddy (played by Vijay Deverakonda, about whom I will talk in a while) is a topper in his medical college and a short tempered guy with zero anger management. He meets a first year girl, Preethi (played by Shalini) and they fall in love. What happens to Arjun after his love failure is what explored in a unique way. So this not a film that you can expect every year. This is a film that has a beautiful narration enthralling you for 3 hours. The initial scenes when Arjun frequently visits Preethi are a little surprising as Preethi never utters a word whenever he visits her. You start thinking what kind of love it is. But the love that Arjun has on Preethi is explained in...

October Review

Cast: Varun Dawan, Banita Sandhu, Gitanjali Rao Music: Shantanu Moitra Written by: Juhi Chaturvedi Direction: Shoojit Sircar Love, one of the trickiest emotion and often showed in a clichéd manner is so refreshing in this film. Juhi Chaturvedi has written a beautiful story about love and with Shoojith Sircar’s elegant direction, October is a heart-warming film. Danish Walia(played by Varun Dawan), called ‘Dan’, is a hotel management internee at a five star hotel.   His co-worker, Shiuli Iyer(played by Banita Sandhu), accidentally falls off from 30 feet height. Shiuli Iyer slips into coma and Dan’s character undergoes a transformation. Dan has temperament issues, while working as internee and later he becomes mature. Varun Dawan has completely transformed into Dan, as I could witness the character than the actor. Banita Sandhu’s performance emote the audience’s emotions. The scenes where she responds are heart-warming. The screenplay is well written and d...
