Rishika Sharma’s Vijayanad can be called a docu-drama. Earlier we have seen Mani Ratnam helm a (rumoured) biopic of one of the most celebrated business tycoons of India – Dhirubhai Ambani. The film was Guru and featured Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai. Guru was a very interesting and entertaining biopic and was lapped up by cine-goers. Unlike Guru, Vijayanand is told in a very self-praising documentary manner.
Story
The film opens with Vijay Sankeshwar (Nihal Rajput), a 19-year-old man bringing with him a semi-automatic printing machine for their printing press against his father B G Sankeshwar’s (Ananth Nag) wishes. With the new machine their business flourishes as expected but Vijay begins to aim higher. He prepares himself for yet another business in goods transportation industry and goes ahead buying one truck. This time again against the wishes of his father. Vijay is portrayed as a man with strong will...

Film Commentary'Manichitrathazhu' plays mind games with the audience from the beginning to the end, building up a delicious terror that doesn't diminish even on repeat viewing. Sowmya RajendranRevisiting films which came out decades ago isn't always a rewarding experience. Often, one finds that the film hasn't aged well - it fails to evoke the same emotions within you as it did back then. It may have no effect on you or you may even feel slightly embarrassed that you'd enjoyed it so much in those days. Ideas that you accepted without questioning earlier may look highly regressive in today's context. Time is savage especially to horror films and thrillers because the visual effects look tacky and far from the sophistication that we've come to expect of the genre over the years. The acting tends to appear exaggerated and borders on the funny when we watch the film after a considerable amount of time has elapsed.

SandalwoodFrom the beginning to the end, there are no surprises in this dull film.Aravind ShwethaThe family drama genre has been tried and tested in every which way possible by almost every director in the Kannada industry. However, the Viraaj team had promised an interesting family drama with newbies and a bunch of veteran actors. But does the film live up to this promise? Newcomer Viraaj (Vidyabharan) is the grandson of Devaraj (veteran superstar), a kind heartened man who is always available for the service of the poor and needy. Viraaj is often introduced as ‘He is Raj- Viraaj’ with a lot of unnecessary buildup. He is brought up on traditional values from his childhood – thanks to grandpa Devaraj. He also happens to be Devraj’s right-hand man, who takes care of the villagers like his family, ensuring that thugs are beaten up left, right and centre when they try...
