'Luther The Fallen Sun' movie review: No thrill kills

In a rather unconventional turn of narrative choices, particularly for a detective thriller, the audience is made aware of the antagonists identity right from the first frame. It is not new for a successful TV series to have a movie based on it. We have seen it with Sex and the City and Breaking Bad. It is happening for Community. We have all anticipated it for Friends, for years. Currently in the offing is Luther: The Fallen Sun, a film that follows the happenings of Season 5 of the hit series

'Phalana Abbayi Phalana Ammayi'movie review: A middling romanceHeavy on indie sensibilities

Srinivas Avasarala crafts a self-indulgent tale on the highs and lows of love that might not be everyones cup of tea During a scene from Phalana Abbayi Phalana Ammayi (PAPA), that we get right after its protagonists Sanjay (Naga Shaurya) and Anupama (Malavika Nair) start living together in the UK, we see them pose goofily in front of a mirror, like actors on magazine covers, while mouthing some cliche cover quotes. Stuff like, I will work even after marriage and We are just friends. Here are two

'Ghosty' movie review: Irreverent, tasteless horror comedy

Ghosty reminds us that it is high time we stop stigmatising mental hospitals and their patients. Let me try to make sense of this convoluted mess of a screenplay. Let me try... Police officer Arthi (Kajal Aggarwal) is facing suspension because she behaves weirdly. She is disturbed by aspiring filmmakers Yogi Babu, Jegan and Redin Kingsley. Lets leave this angle for now. Then, we have a random flashback where Arthi and her fellow officers played by Sathyan and Urvashi are out to arrest Das (KS

'Kannai Nambadhey' movie review: Unintentional humourspoils the smarts in this thriller

Kannai Nambadhey is filled with dreadful events like murder, abduction and rape. Remember the kidnap scene in Sundar Cs evergreen comedy of errors, Ullathai Allitha, where the Karthik-Goundamani duo and Senthil-Paandu duo try to outsmart each other and kidnap Manivannan? No matter how many times we watch that scene, it always makes us laugh. In director Mu Marans latest, Kannai Nambathey, we have Udhayanidhi Stalin trying to outsmart a bunch of adversaries. The end results are hilarious too. How

'Shazam 2' movie review: The perilsof synthesised lightheartedness

Perhaps one of the most conspicuous problems with Shazam! Fury of the Gods is the eponymous gods and their supposed fury. Shazam! Fury of the Gods joins the recent, growing list of superhero films that struggle to balance humour with action and high stakes. Contrary to (the now) popular belief, it is not a crime to ingest superhero films with humour, but that being said, it has become stale now. The kind of humour found in superhero films these days all seem to follow a similar beat: Just after

'Kabzaa' movie review:An ambitious and violentcrime drama

Narrated by encounter specialist Bhargav Bhakshi (Sudeep), the narrative has a never-ending barrage of characters, especially various dons, making fleeting appearances in and out of the film. During the promotions, director R Chandru admitted that the KGF franchise inspired him to create the world of Kabzaa. But Kabzaa has its own personality, impressive grandeur, solid star cast, massive sets, whistle-worthy dialogues, over-the-top violence, and of course... Upendra. The film is about the rise

'Zwigato' movie review: Nandita Das insightful take on gig economy suffers from failed delivery

The life of gig workers is great fodder for cinematic telling. The newspapers are riddled every day with tales of the plight of delivery personnel. The life of gig workers is great fodder for cinematic telling. The newspapers are riddled every day with tales of the plight of delivery personnel. They are vilified on social media for sneaking a bite from the food package. They arent allowed to use the lift, and if they do, they end up getting bitten by the dog of an apathetic owner. They are refus

'Rocket Boys Season 2' review: A love letter to India and its men of science

The second season of Rocket Boys is an exhilarating tale of Indian History with thrills and heartbreak served in equal measure The first season of Rocket Boys starts off with an argument between Homi Bhabha (Jim Sarbh) and Vikram Sarabhai (Ishwak Singh). The former wants the nation to have its own indigenously produced nuclear weapons. The latter is dead against it. The ideological differences between these two men are established in the first fifteen minutes of season one, before taking us deca

'You' Season 4 review: Unexpected twists with an expected ending

The season starts slow, and Joes identification of You or whom he chooses to obsess over, comes much later in the series, unlike the previous seasons. When I first started watching You in 2018, I wondered how the idea of obsession and stalking would be panned out into multiple seasons. While Season 1 left me with just enough curiosity to await the second, and the second did just enough to engage me for a third. Although the third season was constricted by predictability, and the lack of newer av

'Mrs ChatterjeeVs Norway' movie review: Rani Mukerji reigns in this tragic tale

The best course of action while adapting a real-life story is to tone down the dramatics. I will be honest, I wasnt convinced by the trailer of Mrs Chatterjee Vs Norway. It seemed like another of those watch-baity, one-woman-against-the-system, syrupy melodramas which, towards the end, will be peppered with tiring sermons on motherhood and nationalism. It was some of it, but all in perfect proportions. Directed by Ashima Chibber (Mere Dad Ki Maruti, 2013) and starring Rani Mukerji Chopra, Mrs Ch
