Kalakalpu 2 Review

Cast: Jeeva, Jai, Mirchi Shiva, Nikki Galrani, Catherine Thressa

Music: Hip hop Thamizha

Direction: Sundar C

The one line plot of Kalakalapu 2 or any Tamil comedy films is simple and the story always involves searching of as expensive item in the wrong person’s hands. Kalakalapu (the first one) had some emotions in the story (changing the hotel) along with comedy. But Kalakalapu 2 is just about comedy.

This full length comedy story involves an ex-minister in search of his auditor, Jai in search of his ancestral house and Jeeva in search of someone. This film has a lot of characters and everyone is in search of someone/something. Sundar C has efficiently managed all the characters in a way that each character makes you laugh in at least one scene.

Even with many characters the screenplay is not gripping. It’s like a wave with one great comedy followed by a mediocre comedy. I really loved the scenes of Radha Ravi with his assistant and a chase in second half. After the comedy involving the chase, the film falls flat with great comedy.

Jeeva, Jai, Mirchi Shiva have done their part well and Shiva stands out among the three. In a comedy film one can’t expect a great character for heroines, but the glamour forced into scenes could have been avoided. The songs were shot beautifully with all possible colours on screen, but every song was break in narration.

Verdict: A usual entertaining Sundar C comedy.

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...
