I have not watched a musical for a long time now. They don’t make classic musicals any more. But ‘சர்வம் தாளமயம்’ bought back poignant moments in a musical journey which stands out as simple, light hearted and make-you-feel-good drama with an outstanding soundtrack, which in many ways describes A R Rahman – The Master Composer.Continue reading “சர்வம் தாளமயம் – Refreshingly Rythmic”

Twin Scare
Veronica I am not a great believer in the occult. But, there have been times of mesmerising helplessness when I start adoring the devil which ceases to exist without the goodness around us. But, Veronica has nothing to do with goodness, though. It’s about pain, recklessness, human disdain and much beyond, our hemisphere. I thoughtContinue reading “Twin Scare”
Netflix – My New IMAX
I love Cinema. Cinema is education and emancipation in the same terrain. Big screen cinema is what I live for. But in the last 18 months, I see it differently. You call it priorities or indulgence, big screen doesn’t woo me any more. Streaming is the new moolah in the streets of movie goons theseContinue reading “Netflix – My New IMAX”

When man becomes the animal. When friendship wins over cash.
Has Apple Dis-Evolved?
I am not sure, but am quite certain. A company and the co founder who were once emphatically accused of ambushing other products are in a wave of jilted revolution. If I can say that. Even though Apple is a super power and Steve Jobs’s DNA is the foundation of this company. But it isContinue reading “Has Apple Dis-Evolved?”
Taramani – Redemption
A ‘run of the mill’ Tamil film is the usual order of the day, but for films like ‘Taramani’ who try to lend a magic hand beyond furnished boundaries. Don’t literally sit on the title and wane about the correlation. I think correlation lies in the subject, not in the title. In fact, Harry PotterContinue reading “Taramani – Redemption”
Haraamkhor – Gutsy and Wretched
Yes. We have this society in us which possesses dark shades. Lives a simple life, appears to be noble, exploits women and their helplessness with élan. And yet, survive like worms and disappear to come back with evil. For a change, this protagonist doesn’t live enough. But it every story is fortunate enough, not everyContinue reading “Haraamkhor – Gutsy and Wretched”
Udta Punjab – High & Fallen
At a time of floundering commercial cinema making the means out of creativity, films like ‘Udta Punjab’ come as a neat surprise. Overwhelming, I would say. Scary and blemish-less. ‘Udta Punjab’ comes from the stable of Phantom films, and no prizes for guessing the creative minds behind the making of this dark, raunchy, spine chillingContinue reading “Udta Punjab – High & Fallen”
Kaatru Veliyidai – Different Terrain
Sometimes, our love stories don’t need bad guys to create a rift and separate 2 made-for-each other souls. Our nubile minds are just enough and too good to create miseries for self inundated human beings.’KV’ is a bi-product of such individuals who live and smurf themselves with their ego to destroy superlatives. Love, lust, sex or marriageContinue reading “Kaatru Veliyidai – Different Terrain”
Joy of Killing – 2.0
Crime beholds crime. @msksmiles There is this animal in all of us that gains momentum in sensitive and reluctant moments. Sporadic and violent. Voracious and fierce. We all have break even points, some much earlier than we conspire and few that follows an aftermath. But we always seek a nemesis for redemption. A partner inContinue reading “Joy of Killing – 2.0”
filming and feeling real
Notting Hill is one of the most sublime and exuberant love stories of our times. Truly, isn’t it? Well, I watched it years back but watching it again and again isn’t a crime. Think about this, you falling in love with an actress who comes to purchase a book from the most boring book shopContinue reading “filming and feeling real”
Fan – I ain’t one
My apprehension turns in to an insomniac, ballistic version when I talk about SRK films. But ‘Fan’ is a different experience altogether. It brings together a gamut of emotions that sway across as I watched the film – the newcomer, the emerging star, the human being, the superstar, King Khan. Well, yes. Life does comeContinue reading “Fan – I ain’t one”
