Meeku Maathrame Cheptha Movie Review: A Funny Portrait Of A Liar

  • Posted on November 1, 2019November 2, 2019
  • by Karthik Keramalu
Meeku Maathrame Cheptha borrows the flavour of films such as Pelli Choopulu and Ee Nagaraniki Emaindi and tosses it into a much smaller indie mixer.

Sivappu Manjal Pachai Review: A Melodramatic Thriller That Gets Its Politics Right

  • Posted on September 6, 2019September 6, 2019
  • by Karthik Keramalu
The brother-sister duo of Murali (Vaibhav) and Sudarvizhi (Indhuja) from Meyaadha Maan, and the apples of Sivappu Manjal Pachai’s eye Madhan (GV Prakash) and Raji (Lijomol) look, speak, and even behave in a similar manner. They’re probably cut from the same cloth.

Sixer Movie Review: A Tiring Rom-Com That’ll Leave You With A Tear On Your Cheek

  • Posted on August 31, 2019August 31, 2019
  • by Karthik Keramalu
The “mokkai” in Sixer is too uncooked to be enjoyed and you can’t blame Sathish, or Vaibhav, for this, as the director is equally (actually, more) responsible for the mishap

  • Posted on August 9, 2019

Cricket is the only sport in Indian cinema that doesn’t require scenes explaining the game. But the knowledge of the sport doesn’t always mean that the audience are aware of the problems cricketers face behind the scene. Here are four films that explored this aspect of the sport

Virginia Rodrigues’s screen presence is unlike any other action star (Malashri, or the recent entrants, Ragini Dwivedi and Haripriya). Her no-nonsense avatar sits perfectly on her shoulders
