Resolution (2012) :-

A weird movie with a different concept altogether keeping us guessing even till the last minute. We would never know if its a ghost story , Found footage , Extraterrestrial , black magic devils worship or a psychological thriller but it would keep on changing its front face every few minutes once. Story is about a friend deciding to travel to nearby woods in a resolution to help recover his Drug addicted friend who stays in middle of the woods on a land reserved for Red Indians. But in the process of recovery , strange things happen in and around the cabin which is beyond understanding with every new clues been provided now and then. Movie is slow but good as it keeps us guessing but still the way it gave itself much hype i feel it failed to deliver the exact impact at the end like all other cliche ridden movies. This movie had all possible ways to become one of brilliant movies but i feel it failed drastically at the end but that said its still watchable once and not too bad to try.


Sathuranga Vettai ( 2014 ) :-

Semma fun right from the start...a super dark comedy subject which will make you laugh and at same time will make you think about it. We daily see such incidents in papers or news and we either talk about it for sometime or we totally forget about it. But the people and money involved behind such incidents were brought to light and a subject which has many stories within it which every audience would have experienced or heard about them at-least one such incident in their life. I heard everyone saying that the main protagonist role should have been done by someone else like Vijay sethupathy etc...but i must say that Nataraj did a splendid job in this movie and lived up to the character as Gandhi babu delivering it to perfection. There are only few movies which can make you engage from starting title card till end credits and this movie will be definitely one such example. Talking about story much might spoil the fun for viewers who haven't watched this movie yet and so i avoid adding any such spoilers to it. This is one of good entertainer and i am so happy that this season has given us such entertainers and i wish more such films gets released in future. A must watch movie and pure fun and as well thought provoking. Dont miss watching in theaters .




Manam ( 2014 ) Telugu 

What a lovely film it was...!!! A very nice feel good movie which you just can travel with it , feel it and experience the beauty of it. A very new script based on rebirth but the way they mixed up characters and brought it together was top notch. The romance portions were very touching and flash back portions especially Nagarjuna's part in a village was damn good. BGM n OST's in this movie adds more credits to the movie and it was really divine n blissful. Though the subject of the film is been always debated but this movie will make us feel as if these are true and that we just dont recognize most of it . A complete satisfaction watching such a good family entertainer and this is one such movie not to be missed. I really wish to see more such films in tollywood and this will stay as one of my favorites. Dont miss it.



Velai illa Pattathari ( 2014 ) - " A Trademark D25 Movie "

Its been a while i been waiting for such complete entertainer from Dhanush after Pudhupettai and Polladavan. I just remember the time i entered in to the theater and time just went flying like anything and when the end card was on , i really wished if the movie could have been little extended for a while. It was that entertaining for sure right from the start till end. I would say that this movie has one main hidden hero and that is Anirudh , with his stunning BGM this movie has made all difference with the way it was presented to the audience. VIP theme was goosebumps even when they played it at the initial title card and it was just the beginning . Not just that be it sad theme or the OST's anirudh gave life to the movie for sure. When i heard these songs in audio format , not many tracks impressed me but when the same i watched with the movie it was just mind blowing .

First half was very cool and wonderful with the normal life of a jobless engineer after college , his relationship with his father , younger brother and mother was wonderfully portrayed . Amala paul adds more color to the movie and the chemistry between them and how love develops in them was nicely filmed .First half was really a feel good part and might easy touch the hearts of many audience for sure. But no later the second half with Amma Amma song and that when he cries with the project paper in his hand or when he talks to the girl not to smoke cigrettes was heart throbbing for sure, even i didnt realize few drops of tears in me during this part. Its very appealing to audience and i believe that's how a movie should be.....!! and every thing after that in 2nd half was pure mass and dhanush magic. His way of dialogue delivery is damn good and perfectly apt for the movie and with Anirudh's theme it was goosebumps all over. Though there are some logic misses or some which we may feel too unreal like Facebook , gathering of engineers etc , they can be easy ignored for the brilliance in dhanush acting and even with Viveks small role in the film added that extra zinc to the movie .Every one in this film done their part really well and all characters felt too close. I am sure everyone might have seen such characters in your life or in your friends life or at neighbors and this is what the success mantra for this film. It touched the hearts of many audience for sure .


This is one movie, we just need to step in to theater and enjoy it to the core rather then dissecting it part by part or finding faults just for the purpose of doing it which will sure spoil the fun in it. This might catch more attention of audience from colleges , engineers especially civil n mechanical stream and would be a celebration to them for sure. This has fun , love , sentiments , emotions , action everything in it with a complete combo in a single package. The most impacting part is the mother sentiment in this movie and i just really loved that part to the core. Dhanush jsut proved himself that he can do any given characters at ease and this will be also one of his finest actings from him. He definitely can proudly say his D25 will be a trademark and will have a grand commercial success for sure.

Verdict : A Feel good movie with Power packed Anirudh BGM and with electrifying performance from Dhanush . A Complete entertainer worth every penny you spend for ticket. Watch it in theater with Good sound quality which is the backbone of this movie. Melt yourself in emotions , feel the breeze of love and the strong iron nerve for determination. V.I.P a must watch movie for any movie lovers




Dorain Gray ( 2009 ) :-

One of best fantasy movie i happen to watch today. A very intense disturbing dark subject with hard hitting facts throughout the film. A young man arriving to London blinded by his family parch life surrounded by worldly pleasures carried over by Greed , lust , women , wine , sex loses his senses selling his own soul to the devil himself. He gets his portrayed painted by one of famous artist and a friend , as movie progresses his own life n soul gets into that painting so that the paint would get older but he his real image lives as young as ever and immortal with no scars and aging. His character changes totally day by day and he starts to realize that he is not the same anymore but by the time he realizes the difference between pleasure n happiness it was already too late and that everything went out of control.

When he finally longs for true love and his confession as he repents to try become a normal man , the people around him doesn't accept the changes in him forcing him to choose a drastic step at the end. The way the movie was carried was wonderful and how the oldish backdrop film sets were brought to life was just mind blowing. Hats off to the cinematographer for the stunning job done to this movie followed by the wonderful onscreen performance by Dorain gray ( Ben Barnes ) . The film might feel slow , at times with many explicit scenes and even it might tend to give some viewers a poetic experience but if  you happen to watch it till the end , this movie will leave you will the complete satisfaction and a feel of fullness with a hard message within it. Loved this movie a lot and its definitely a must watch for sure .


Unknown ( 2006 ) :-

A excellent movie with lot of Twists and turns. With just five or six characters within four walls , they were able to pull out such a entertaining and gripping movie. In short , its about five strangers locked inside a garage in a desert tightly shielded and secured to prevent them from escaping. The catching point is only three persons from that are victims who been kidnapped and other two are the kidnappers. Just because of a accidental chemical gas leak inside that garage , they all lost their memory temp'ly and when they wake up , as little by little their memory turns back slowly to them , raising tensions within their group on whom to trust and not. Though we were able to guess it at times as they flash their past in front of our eyes yet they still managed to keep the intense n suspense element till the end and its surely one of worth watching movies and a very good thriller especially with a last few minutes twist again.





Not Today ( 2013 ) :-

A heart touching and a thought provoking movie about one of deadliest poisons of our country India relating to Child trafficking and Sex labor . Surprised to see its a Hollywood movie instead and director Jon Van Dyke decided to make a film  to portray the problems here in India and to make a attempt to be a eye opener for such issues. They say this movie is also based on true events. In short terms a rich teenager with a wealthy dad living a dream life in states decides to go to India with his friend for a summer vacation and what follows his visit is the life turning events making him to take extreme steps to save a small kid from human traffickers and did he succeed with it or what all hurdles he has to go through for saving this child will form core part of the story.

One bad thing about this movie is that the poor performance delivered by both Walid Amini ( Kiran ) father character and that little girl Annika as their portrayal felt so unreal and didn't deliver the exact impact as these characters supposed to have produced for such a script. Their way of talking telugu was horrible instead they could have rather choose to talk in hindi for better purpose . It was so unmatching and that little girl really couldn't produce that intensity this movie expected from her. But Cody Longo ( Caden Welles ) the protagonist was the only life saver for  this film with such a perfect acting and giving life to this script. He is damn good and made it perfect what the director ordered. Adding to that they could have avoided invoking too much religious beliefs in to this film making it look like a more Christianity based movie . But that said what matters is the message this movie delivers and in that regards the director was rock-on and this is not a bad movie to be missed. 


Transcendence ( 2014 ) 

A perfect Sci-fi drama with a romantic tale with it. Movie is lengthy and slow....but it portrays so many things in it like the possible disaster with enhancement n advancement of Artificial intelligence and at the same time benefits involved with it . With keeping the science aside , there is love n emotion which can touch our heart too... Last few minutes was more melancholic and heart wrenching. Though there are so many logical misses everywhere like US government taking no actions till the DC was built for 2 years or the way they tackled the issue felt too unreal. Till the movie ending we might be cursing on Jdepp for we not believing him and that he is actually destroying earth but when we finally realize that it was actually him in real who wants to change the world as per his wife's dream n wishes to make it a better place , it will hit us on face with a deep sympathy towards him. But keeping these all aside , this is no bad movie to be skipped. It will be lengthy and slow but it is gripping too. I enjoyed it and deserves a one time watch .


CopyCat ( 1995 )

One of very few movies which would immediately capture your attention till the end scene with edge of seat moment and this movie definitely falls into that category. This is a perfect psychological thriller with serial killers as main plot. A person starts to copycat other famous serial killers and begins to murder people with exact precision same way as their victims. What is the motto behind his imitation and how police track him down falls the rest of the story. Movie loses its suspense at the mid way when murderer is revealed but the way they move every scene after that with every kill gives us a nail biting experience with a perfect screenplay. A must watch movie for thriller film likers.Dont miss it.

Wake in Fright (1971) - " A journey through Yabba "

A excellent western style movie captured in midst of Hot desert sands of Australia. This movie will serve as a archive with lots of memories for any Australian citizens for it shows how the place was during 70's and how much it changed in course of time. Be it the Beer , the Desert sand , the heat or the gambling , hunting or the kangaroos , Peoples hospitality this movie has it all. A excellent drama a journey of a man with his one night gambling going wrong and how much it changes his life forever teaching him a hard lesson to learn was wonderfully shown. Movie travels in a slow phase with lots n lots of beer everywhere but it never lets you down at any time. Complete genuine entertainer and a must watch movie for any movie lover. Do not miss it.


Arima Nambi ( 2014 )

A good engaging movie from start to end. Concept is no so different as we seen such hide and seek movies before but all matters is how it was presented to us.In this regards this movie has definitely won its place. No Sound tracks was impressive nor the background score , but its just the stunning screenplay which makes this movie watchable. I just knew i entered into the theater and suddenly the lights got on with a intermission slide. Never knew how the time flew as it kept really engaging at first half....Second half there were many logic skips but yet it kept it alive. Overall this is not a exceptional movie but at same time not a movie to be missed for it delivers complete entertainment for sure.



A Company Man ( 2012 ) Korean :-

Korean movies just keep proving us again and again that there are no one who could make such a stylish action flicks like them especially when it comes to Suits n boots type of movies. This movie just proves it yet again to us. This is about a Company which from outside looks like a Metal industry with a office having many decent employees but from inside , they work as Hired assassins who take on contract killing working as a team to finish their tasks. They do follow a reporting hierarchy and even the underworld has promotions n recognition as if its run like a perfect normal company. One man "Hyeong Do" who rise to a Director position with his sincerity wants to quit this work and go back to a normal life when he fell in love with a women whom he met under some circumstances. But the company doesn't take it lightly and plans to eliminate him fixing a contract on his head. How he manages to tackle the situation and whether he comes out alive so he can be with his love of his life forms rest part of the story. Whats more catchy is that Style in making the visuals and mind blowing stunt sequences. This movie is definitely in lines of " A Bittersweet life " . Donot miss this movie especially if you are a Hanscinema liker. Have fun watching
 




Noah ( 2014 )

Its like a childhood bedtime story coming true in-front you in a big screen. We been hearing Biblical stories relating to Noah's Arc and about the Apocalypse because of Creators wrath on humans destroying earth with Water cleansing it totally. This movie is a visual treat right from the start and it just doesn't stop or compromising in its quality of output. Top notch cinematography work with a meticulously done VFX Works. Russel crowe stands tall and he yet proves he is a talent house for acting. Such a stunning performance he delivers and the concept of Watchers , their fight with Cains descendents and building of arc were just awesome. It was also a goosebumps moment When animals,birds,reptines start gathering at the arc and its really a wonderful feel watching this movie. Special mention when Noah tells story to his boys from inside the arc was mind-blowing. Not just the arc , this movie also teaches on what love and Merci is.. the choices creator places in front of you  and what hope is , has been all portrayed here in this film wonderfully well. One of Best fantasy movie based on biblical history which could touch your heart so deep and every credit goes to this man Darren Aronofsky who keeps proving to the world again 'n' again with his unique film making with a unique story telling differentiating itself on every single movie he made. A movie definitely not to be missed.





Requiem for a Dream (2000) :-

I have always heard the term Mind bending movie but i think this is the first time i felt a movie which i can call Mind Boiling Movie. This movie is definitely not for mainstream audience as this has tendency to make people go crazy. Story is very simple can be condensed to a single line ie  drug addiction , post effects of it and only has four important characters nothing more ut yet how they managed to pull this movie to a 100+ minutes film marks the ingenious work ,  hats off to Darren Aronofsky.

At first i mean initial 20 minutes i was like what the yack is this movie all  about and felt it too irritating n annoying seeing the type of story telling , especially that irritating TV Show " Who is the Winner , Juice by Sara Juice by Sara..whoa...Sara Juice Sara juice" oooff.....it even gave me vomiting sensation . Very horrible and i thought why should a movie be this complex when the story is very simple and more importantly why was it made so confusing. Definitely our mind gets heated up while processing this movie cut shot frames with fast phased edits.I wanted to stop watching this movie exactly at this point...but something told me its not right to decide half way and i decided to complete the movie. To my surprise the following incidents totally changed my view on this film.


I just realized that the director was able to exactly capture the moments what goes inside a drug addicts mind , how they live their life and what kind of problems do they face. I also realized that the fast phase shots are purposefully placed as on how those addicts adrenaline pumps up and on how they start seeing things around them. At first i thought this movie was from a narrator perspective but only later i felt that its not but director wants us to travel as the characters himself and what we are watching is that from the eyes of each character in the movie. Movie had four main characters a mother ( sara ) , Son ( Harry ) , a lover ( Marion ) , a friend ( Tyrone ) and director was able to show us from every angle of their life giving equal importance to every character . Darren was also success in making viewers empathize on their situation when their own life shatters in-front of them just because of addition. Be it love , friendship, care, affection this movie covers it all and how much they wanted to get back to their normal life but their despair due to addiction was wonderfully portrayed in here. Though this movie talks about drug addicts , its a indirect message from Director to the audience giving us the extent of Drug addiction effects and i am sure any Drug addicts or those who want to go high by watching this movie will definitely change their mind, that's the success of the director.



Overall this is one of the best movies i watched in recent times and this is definitely a movie not to be missed. Darren could have said the same story in a much easy way but he made sure he wanted to present this movie from the characters point of view and i believe that the success of ths movie and that's where this movie gets unique by itself. Hand motion cam , some top able shots and there are moments which will define you the trademark of Darren and its really a breath taking cinematography. Not but not least..this movie is nothing without its Background score and that adds up the extra punch to the movie. A must watch movie for a true Movie buffs. Happy watching.






3 Days to Kill ( 2014 )

It said that this movie is a action Thriller but instead it felt only Hilarious and illogical at most part. A script perfectly not suited for such a stylish actor like Kevin Costner rather i feel this would have been justified if Jackie Chan was casted in it. Was torturous and horrible movie from start , though they cover the life of CIA but no were their actions or plans looks like CIA as i feel screenplay was very poor. Total Disappointment.
