Star Cast: Noah Centineo, Andrew Koji, Callina Liang, Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, Vidyut Jammwal Director: Kitao Sakurai Street Fighter Movie Review Synopsis: STREET FIGHTER is the story of two friends caught in a dangerous tournament. The year is 1987. Japanese-born Ryu (Andrew Koji) is an orphan who trains under Master Gouken (Don Lee). Joining him is Ken Masters (Noah Centineo), who has been sent by his parents from the USA to learn discipline. Both develop a strong bond while training under Gouken. The first World Warrior Tournament takes place, with Ryu emerging victorious after defeating the menacing Sagat. However, Ryu's fighting abilities awaken the evil Akuma (Roman Reigns), who murders Gouken, his half-brother. Ryu possesses the power of the sacred Hado, which could have prevented Gouken's death. Ken is disappointed with Ryu and abandons him. The two friends go their separate ways, and Ryu disappears from the fighting circuit and begins running a roadside soup stall. Six years later, in 1993, the second edition of the World Warrior Tournament is set to be held in Metrolao, and Ken is invited to participate. Ken now earns a living as a television star by participating in staged fighting tournaments. The prospect of competing in the World Warrior Tournament excites him, and he agrees to join. Ryu also receives an invitation but declines. However, he travels to Metrolao to warn Ken against participating. Ken is still upset with Ryu over what happened six years ago and refuses to take his warning seriously. Unknown to Ken, M Bison (David Dastmalchian), the man behind the World Warrior Tournament, has ulterior motives. What happens next forms the rest of the film. Street Fighter Movie Story Review: STREET FIGHTER is based on the video game of the same name. The story sounds very interesting and youthful on paper. T J Fixman and Kitao Sakurai's screenplay, however, leaves a lot to be desired and is weak. The dialogues are okay. A few one-liners raise laughs, especially the ones mouthed by Don Sauvage. Kitao Sakurai's direction is decent. To give credit where it's due, he handles the grandeur well. The film begins with a prologue presented in anime style, and it immediately catches attention. In fact, all the flashback portions are also depicted in anime. A few scenes stand out, especially Ryu's fights with Ozeki (Hirooki Goto) and Blanka (Jason Momoa). The love-hate relationship between Ryu and Ken also makes for an interesting watch. On the flipside, certain developments happen too suddenly and without proper explanation. For instance, one never understands how Chun-Li (Callina Liang) manages to locate Ryu or how the latter figures out that something is amiss with the World Warrior Tournament. In several scenes, the makers try too hard to evoke laughter, but the humour falls flat. The sequence where the fighters attack each other on the night before the tournament is insipid. A few scenes are also edited haphazardly, while the censoring of abusive words with beeps further dilutes the impact. The makers try their best to make the proceedings entertaining, but the film ultimately fails to engage viewers. Lastly, STREET FIGHTER is primarily aimed at those familiar with the video game. Viewers unfamiliar with the game, especially younger audiences, may find it difficult to connect with the characters and the goings-on. Street Fighter Movie Review Performances: Noah Centineo delivers an entertaining performance and effortlessly switches to serious acting whenever required. Andrew Koji makes his presence felt with his nuanced performance and impressive action scenes. Callina Liang shines in her role. David Dastmalchian is over the top, as required by his character. Andrew Schulz (Dan) leaves a huge mark, and the same goes for Mel Jarnson (Cammy) and Eric Andr. Among the special appearances, Jason Momoa stands out. Vidyut Jammwal (Dhalsim) is superb, and one wishes he had more screen time. 50 Cent (Balrog), Cody Rhodes (Guile), Olivier Richters (Zangief) and Orville Peck (Vega) are okay. Street Fighter movie music and other technical aspects: Leo Birenberg and Zach Robinson's music is exhilarating, especially during the anime sequences. Ken Seng's cinematography is impressive, considering the amount of action unfolding on screen. Kevin Kavanaugh's production design and Kym Barrett's costumes are top-class. The action is one of the film's biggest USPs and is deftly choreographed, lending authenticity to the fight sequences. The VFX matches global standards. Luke Lynch's editing is decent, though a few scenes are cut too quickly. Street Fighter Movie Review Conclusion: On the whole, STREET FIGHTER scores with its impressive action, grand visuals and fine performances. However, the weak writing and unconvincing developments dilute the impact. The film will appeal mainly to fans of the video game franchise.
Star Cast: Yami Gautam Dhar, Addinath M Kothare, Anurag Thakur, Sunita Rajwar Director: Balaji Mohan Nayyi Navelli Movie Review Synopsis: NAYYI NAVELLI is the story of a woman suspected of being a witch. Mohini (Yami Gautam Dhar), the country head of a company, marries Meerut-based Raja Awasthi (Addinath M Kothare) and moves into his joint family household. The family consists of Raja's father S K Awasthi (Suneel Sinha), mother Asha (Sunita Rajwar), brother Bantu (Anurag Thakur), grandmother (Sushmita Mukherjee), Pinky Bua (Mita Vasisht), Pannu Chacha (Prateek Pachori), Rekha Chachi (Babita Pandey), Sumitra Tayi (Sonal Jha) and several others. Mohini wins over every member of the family with her charming personality. However, Bantu grows suspicious of her. After witnessing a series of bizarre incidents, he becomes convinced that Mohini is a 'daayan', aka a witch. He shares his suspicions with the family members, who understandably dismiss his theory. However, Bantu digs into the past and brings up certain incidents that force the family to reconsider their opinion. But there's more to Mohini than meets the eye. What happens next forms the rest of the film. Nayyi Navelli Movie Story Review: Himanshu Sharma has written a story that must have sounded like a winner on paper. However, Divy Nidhi Sharma's screenplay is weak and dry. He tries his best to pepper the narrative with lots of funny scenes, but it fails to entice. Divy Nidhi Sharma's dialogues are okay. Some one-liners do raise laughs but thats about it. Balaji Mohan's direction is not up to the mark. To give credit where it's due, a few scenes are handled deftly, especially the portions where Bantu narrates the incidents that lead him to believe that Mohini is a 'daayan'. The sequence involving Vishal IAS (Aaditya Kulshreshth), his marriage to Pinky Bua and his subsequent discovery of the truth is arguably the funniest part of the film. The interval twist is unexpected and manages to catch viewers off guard. It is also smartly placed, as it might discourage viewers from leaving the theatre midway. On the flipside, despite a promising premise and an assortment of quirky characters, the film fails to engage viewers. Both the weak script and uninspiring direction are to blame. The narrative begins to lose steam quite early, and even the horror-comedy portions in the flashback fail to make an impact. The interval twist raises hopes of an improvement, but the film falters once again in the second half. Several developments are difficult to digest and raise more questions than they answer. The narrative also takes a mythological turn in the latter half, but the execution remains unconvincing. That said, the Ramayana angle may help the film find some takers in the heartland. However, certain scenes are too difficult to digest. In one crucial sequence, Mohini travels to Haridwar and casually asks the priests to reveal the names of Lord Rama's descendants. As expected, she fails to get the answer she is looking for. The entire sequence is childish, and one wonders how it was approved in the first place. Similarly, the scene where the family abandons Mohini and Raja is far from convincing. Nayyi Navelli Movie Review Performances: NAYYI NAVELLI rests on Yami Gautam Dhars shoulders and she puts up a worthy act. She rises above the script and delivers a performance which is restrained yet impactful. Addinath M Kothare is aptly cast. He has a crucial part in the story and does very well. Anurag Thakur makes the goings-on watchable with his performance. But he also goes over-the-top in some scenes. Sushmita Mukherjee and Mita Vasisht come next. Suneel Sinha, Sunita Rajwar, Prateek Pachori, Babita Pandey and Sonal Jha are decent. Aaditya Kulshreshth leaves a mark, while Ajay Pal (Pandit) and Akshat Singh (Gaggu) are fair. Nayyi Navelli movie music and other technical aspects: G V Prakash Kumar's music is not of the chartbuster variety. Moreover, the songs are not effectively utilized in the film. Nevertheless, 'The World Of Nayyi Navelli' stands out, thanks to its catchy tune. 'Phata Patakha' appears at a point when viewers have already begun to lose interest in the proceedings. 'Awadhiya Ke Raja' is soulful and might work as a standalone track. However, its placement in the narrative is unconvincing, and hence, it fails to leave the desired impact. G V Prakash Kumar's background score, on the other hand, is far more effective. Rishi Punjabi's cinematography is satisfactory. Ravi Srivastava's production design is realistic, while Rushi Sharma and Manoshi Nath's costumes are appealing. Phantom FX's VFX could have been better, especially the backdrop in the terrace sequence at the Awasthi residence, which looks unconvincing. Mahesh Mathew's action is fair, while Sumeet Kotian's editing could have been sharper. Nayyi Navelli Movie Review Conclusion: On the whole, NAYYI NAVELLI has an interesting premise and a fine performance by Yami Gautam Dhar. However, the weak writing, unconvincing developments and poor execution make the film a disappointing affair. At the box office, it may benefit to an extent from the extended festive weekend and its mythological connection. However, the negative word of mouth is likely to affect its prospects, and the film may struggle to attract audiences in the long run.

Star Cast: Rajinikanth, S J Suryah, Vidya Balan, Mithun Chakraborty Director: Nelson Rajini: The Jailer 2 Movie Review Synopsis: RAJINI: THE JAILER 2 is the story of a man facing new enemies. After the events of the first part, Tiger Muthuvel Pandian (Rajinikanth) relocates with his family to a remote location in Tamil Nadu. His wife Vijaya (Ramya Krishnan), daughter-in-law Swetha (Mirnaa) and grandson Rithvik (Rithvik) are still mourning the death of his son, Arjun (Vasanth Ravi). Tiger works as a supervisor at a supermarket, and the locals have no idea about his past. Meanwhile, Varman's (Vinayakan) death has dealt a huge blow to the syndicate. Dileep (Suraj Venjaramoodu), a close aide of Varman, is entrusted with the task of finding Varman's killer and retrieving the three truckloads of ancient statues hidden by him. The killer, of course, is none other than Tiger. Meanwhile, Tiger gets into a tiff with a local municipal officer, Bhaskar (Bagavathi Perumal). Tiger is then compelled to work as a driver for a local fruit shop owner, Moorthi (Namo Narayana). A series of events involving Tiger and Moorthi inadvertently leads Dileep's men to Tiger's whereabouts. What happens next forms the rest of the film. Rajini: The Jailer 2 Movie Story Review: Nelson's story organically takes forward the events of the first part. Nelson's screenplay is peppered with loads of mass elevation moments. At the same time, the comic and emotional sequences are also seamlessly woven into the narrative. However, a few developments seem convenient. Nelson's dialogues are massy and clapworthy. Nelson's direction is superb, and he gives fans plenty to lap up. The first part didn't just have great massy moments but also featured some madcap characters who kept the mood light. The same happens here as well. In fact, the first half relies more on humour than action. The character of Moorthi is hilarious, and when he's joined by Vimal (Yogi Babu), the duo brings the house down. The interval point is terrific and is sure to create a frenzy in cinemas. The entertainment continues in the second half with the introduction of some new and vicious characters like Kantha (Vidya Balan), Bodhi Kalpak (S J Suryah) and Chakri Kalpak (Mithun Chakraborty). An emotional sequence also works well, while the special appearances are terrific, to say the least. On the flipside, certain developments are difficult to digest, even though the film belongs to a genre where one is not expected to look for logic. The villains are menacing, but in a few scenes, they also come across as surprisingly weak. The item song, meanwhile, is not as memorable as the one in the first part. Lastly, the box-office prospects of the Hindi version remain to be seen, considering that it has received a limited release, restricted to non-national multiplex chains and single-screen cinemas. Rajini: The Jailer 2 Movie Review Performances: Rajinikanth delivers a performance that is sure to be lapped up by audiences, especially his fans. His dialogue delivery is outstanding, but watch out for the scenes where he simply walks or sits down in style; even these seemingly simple moments are enough to send the audience into a frenzy. It's remarkable how, even at the age of 75, he continues to pull off such a performance with effortless swagger and charisma. Vidya Balan has a late entry but makes up for it with her grace and flawless performance. The bond shared by Tiger and Kantha will be loved by the audience. S J Suryah, as expected, is dependable. Mithun Chakraborty has a crucial role and does well. Namo Narayana dominates the first half and in some scenes, even overshadows Rajinikanth! Hes truly the surprise of the film. Yogi Babu, as expected, is funny. Suraj Venjaramoodu lends able support. Ramya Krishnan, Mirnaa and Rithvik are decent. Nora Fatehi looks stunning while Poorna is splendid. As for the special appearances, Hrithik Roshan (Roddy) rocks the show followed by Shiva Rajkumar (Narasimha), Mohanlal (Mathew) and Jackie Shroff (Kamdev). Rajini: The Jailer 2 movie music and other technical aspects: Anirudh's music and background score are exhilarating. 'One Name', 'Jailer 2 Theme' and 'Hukum Reloaded' are the best of the lot. 'Ala Bolelo' works due to the picturization. 'Bindaas' is underwhelming and nowhere close to 'Kaavaalaa'. Vijay Kartik Kannan's cinematography is classy. Pallavi Singh and Muthul Hafeez's costumes are appealing, especially those worn by Rajinikanth, Vidya Balan, and S J Suryah. Chetan D'Souza's action is a bit gory but adds to the entertainment quotient. DRK Kiran's production design is satisfactory. R Nirmal's editing is sharp. Jailer 2 Movie Review Conclusion: On the whole, RAJINI: THE JAILER 2 is a paisa-vasool mass entertainer that delivers exactly what Rajinikanth fans expect electrifying elevation moments, clapworthy dialogues, and whistle-worthy special appearances. At the box office, however, the Hindi version may face an uphill task due to limited buzz, competition from new and holdover releases, and no release in national multiplex chains.
