100 days of love - An Experience

Of all the gin joints, in all the towns, in all the world, she walks into mine. Now!!  that's the line to start describing this experience with.  I'm not an avid follower of malayalam movies but the good ones doesn't get to evade me so easily. The first look poster,  DQ - Nithya,  and with the way the trailer leaves an impression with its wonderful music and an intriguing cinematography,  this movie went into my must-watch list instantly. Today I had the pleasure of experiencing,  as I would like to call it,  Jenuse mohamed's 100 days of love. What makes this movie special apart from the technical finesse is the great performance. The best thing about the protagonist, DQ is his subtlety and he fits perfectly into the role of BKN. You don't get to see a single scene where he either over-performs or under-performs. Nithya is gorgeous (if that word can actually define just the being she is) . "Her smile was magic" ,  exclaims BKN when d...

Galaxy Note 3 - The Pen is mightier than the Light Saber

For me , a phone is something that is very difficult to stay away from .  Looks and the build quality has been my top priority when it comes to choosing a phone . All the beefed up specs that's gloriously packed in a wonderfully attractive design is the key for any flagship . To satisfy me after a round of unhappy stints, i arrived at the Glorious Galaxy Note 3 , and i proudly say that i am completely satisfied . There are thousands of reviews and specs sheets out there . This is going to be the key important things that i find with the Note 3 . For Detailed Review – Click here Glorious Stuff : Splendid high pixel density , HD 5.5” screen . Decent design with a textured plastic (i basically hate samsung’s design ) which makes it look premium in all ways . The S Pen , much better than the previous version and is what that keeps other flagships far far away from this . Jedi tricks like, scrolling email and internet browser with your face movements . Wa...

Kadal

  The trailer told us what the plot was . The reviews would have told you what the movie is . In my opinion , Kadal is not as expected , not even close . The first half has a few noticeable and well placed scenes which really gives off Mani’s aura but it fades and flickers in a predictable , dull and not so interesting second half . Bermes as pure evil is perfect and so is Father Sam but the growth of these characters is rather naive . The scene where Bermes tricks , Father Sam in a trap and the whole crowd losing their trust and bringing down a man of faith is nice . Expecting a perfect rise of that character after such a downfall , i was left disappointed as  Mani had just decided to let it be , just like that . On the performance front , everyone has done their best . Gautam Karthik has the stuff and has performed very naturally !! Thulasi Nair was actually a pain to the eyes !! Somehow i just couldn't see  beauty or innocence in her . The coming back of the m...

Needhane En Ponvasandham - My opinion

The movie began with deafening roars,  claps and whistles from the audience - not for the hero - but for Santhanam. This man is clearly the fav of the masses.  The movie is all about the emotional outbursts between Varun (Jeeva) and Nithya(Samantha) . They fight,  break up,  meet up after sometime and again fight - break up and there u go...  That's all the movie is about. It did look cute,  when it began and slowly it turned out to be totally annoying. The crowd became restless even before the interval and there were disaapointed voices from the audience like " Gautam ku enna da aachu?  " , " Machi ! Idu theatre la oru vaaram kooda thaangadhu polaye" , etc... I leave the rest to your assumption.  This movie is completely Samantha-centric and she is gorgeous at times and also the other way around . ["Kudutha kaasukku mattum nadima plz " - audience voice. ] Jeeva is just the usual romantic - dude!!  Nothing worth mentioning there.  ...

Billa 2 Movie Review – A Random Juggling of Suits , Bullets and Blood

What’s It About ! A Srilankan Refugee with the thirst to be more and to be better , moves up the ladder to become one of the most feared Dons by eliminating all those who he thinks , are his enemies. Actually he moves up ,pretty darn slow !!! Analysis : When they re-made the yesteryear Billa , there was so much expectations around it and it did deliver what was expected and acquired a cult status . Now we have Billa-2 , supposedly the first Prequel in Indian Cinema - a movie about the Don’s history . Chakri Toleti , given such a huge opportunity has miserably failed to deliver a worthy prequel . Billa wants to be a DON and he becomes one is the storyline . But how did he come to the level , should have been dealt with much care , rather than a dumb screenplay and nothing but murder all over . Be it the hero or the villains , there is no proper characterization . Everyone just comes , walks around and dies . Though the first half is manageable , the second half is a total disa...
