Nanpakal Nerathu Mayakkam (2022)
If you don't like this Masterpiece you deserve bollywood.
Unbelievable is the first word comes to my mind for what is achieved through this masterpiece. I am a non Malayali or Tamil speaking person and watched it in hindi. I loved the way the director unfolds this perfect movie.
This has an Oscar deserving Direction and sound design at the display. Something that you might have never experienced even if you are a Hitchcock or Kurosawa fan.
The metaphor of sleep as rebirth is apt. The acting is nearly perfect and the chaos is masterful. Its a drama par excellence reaching to the level of meditative experience.
Story: 9/10
The layered story with perfect execution. One star deducted for relying on the background sounds for understanding the context.
Screenplay: 10/10
It's as perfect as it is humanly possible.
Direction: 10/10
This is the first movie I watched from this masterful director and I am going to watch all of his work.
Sound: 10/10
So much to take in, the use of TV sounds and movie's context for an North indian is a great initiation to malyali and tamil cinema.
Art Direction:10/10
It's perfect, perfect and perfect.
Acting: 10/10.
Mammotty achieved something unimaginable for all other great actor of our time. At the age of 70 years this is art at its best. He deserves all accolades.
Do yourself a favor and watch this masterpiece and you will forget that bollywood garbage forever.
Tumbbad (2018)
A genre defining masterpiece.
The world has enough for everyone's need but not enough for one person's greed, is the theme of Tumbbad.
Story of a cursed mythological character and a family becoming part of curse out of greed.
After watching the movie three times I was able to write the review. It is "must see to believe it" for Indian audiences.
The movie is winner in all areas story, screenplay, direction, background score, visuals, acting and a message. Not less than any Hollywood standards, the movie takes you inside the dark corner of your own heart where greed and fear rules.
The atmosphere is thrilling and spine chilling sometimes, the detailing is nearly perfect and it's too hard find flaws in the movie.
2.0 (2018)
Close to Hollywood but lacks the grip.
I watched 2.0 with my son(9 years), why I mentioned is because I can share both perspectives. The start was promising but first half has many flaws.
E.g. Mobile phones become so tough that these can not be damaged by tanks, logic of mobile phones getting attracted to the villain can not be digested, thing like a big phone can not be detected in body scan etc.
Still few things work such as:
Importance of the nature's balance, Akshay's villain act, Chitti 2.0 and 3.0 but biggest winner is the VFX. Best in Indian cinema, although not flawless but still enjoyable.
Overall a grand spectacle and one time watch.
My son really enjoyed overall movie and came with strong message of empathy for other animals.
One extra point for that.
7.5/10
Andhadhun (2018)
Bloody brilliant: Best Bollywood thriller ever!!!
"Bloody brilliant", this phrase I have used for Quantin Terentino movies, Shri Ram Raghavan deserves that. Andhadhun is probably best Bollywood thriller with suspense and situational black humour.
The brilliance of open suspense comes out wonderfullly in some scenes, specially the murder scene. It will blew you away.
Theme: Karma hits you back.
Sanju (2018)
An Entertaining biopic with outstanding performances!
Raju Hirani took a big risk for a L-C-D (laugh-cry-drama) filmmaker, by making Sanju but this risk was worth taking. Wonderful direction, screenplay and editing.
Ranbir Kapoor was underrated before this movie and he showed the skills rare in hindi film industry. He literally went under the skin of the character. Outstanding performance, keeping in mind we all have seen Dutt for many decades.
All other Vicky Kaushal, Paresh Rawal, Diya, Manisha etc. also did a commendable job as well. As reported by some media critics the movie never tries to whitewash Dutt's image (by showing he slept with best friend's girl, taking drugs while mother is in hospital and having friendship with underworld). It is more like an honest confession told in an entertaining and powerful way.
Best biopic ever made in India and one of the finest performances of all time.!!!
