Rangoon Review


Cast:           Gautham Karthik, Sana
Music:        Vikram RH, Vishal Chandrasekhar
Direction:   Rajkumar Periasamy

Rangoon, a place in Myanmar, from where Venkat ( Played by Gautham Karthik) migrates to Chennai. A few years later, he happens to go back to Rangoon for his work and everything changes. What happens next forms the plot of the film. The first half of the film lays the groundwork for the story. The director takes time to introduce the appropriate characters whereas does not waste much time in love.  The scene where Venkat goes to meet Natasha (played by Sana) after she knows about his smuggling activities. Normally there will be an emotional scene where actress blackmails the hero. Instead it is replaced by a beautiful mature conversation.

Gautham Karthik’s artificial tan makeup looks a little odd. The film is filled with wonderful performances. The cinematographer has captured both Chennai and Rangoon pleasantly. The scenes involving smuggling is interesting though it comes for a minute or two.

Vikram RH’s songs and Vishal Chandrasekhar’s background score is a positive to the film. Songs are not forced into the script, probably the advantage of having a director as producer (A R Murugadoss). The interval scene and the final twists in the film are good making it a worthy thriller.

 Verdict: A thriller worth to watch.

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...
