Idharkuthane Aasaipattai Balakumara ( 2013 ) IDAB :-
The decision was too late to watch this movie on a big screen but after i did , now i feel that this is not really a must watch movie to be watched in first week of its release. The trend of our film making continuous with these  kind of movies in name of Comedy genre with humor plot which disappoints me totally. May be its just the impact of going through so many movies of this type past four months in same plot but its really too much to take. Movie is nothing more of plot surrounding a life of five people surrounding TASMAC and how these parallel characters cross each other in their life makes the core story. If it was not for vijay sethupathi , this movie would have hardly passed a week in theaters. But i must admit that Vijay sethupathi acting as Sumar Munji kumar was one hell of a performance and his body language , dialogue delivery were just stunning and makes us laugh out our heart wherever he fills in this movie especially when he says Kumuda Happy annachi .He just proved that he can really take any kind of challenging roles and it was all VS fare throughout. But that said other characters also justified their presence. But the weak storyline or say a very very normal script disappointed me to a extreme. Songs were good but if we have to just enjoy a movie just for fun with no logic or no expectation IDAB might fill-in but for others. A very normal movie compared to other vijay sethupathi movies and it didnt impress me much. Watch it for VS else safely skip it.

My rating : 2/5




Escape Plan ( 2013 ) - " Viewers couldnt escape from the Boredom "

As we almost know from the trailer what the plot going to be for this film , but just by the heavy guns on the film  Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger we all are very much pumped up to see this film on silver screen. Movie starts very firmly with a good show-up of SS as a Escape artist who can breakout from any Highly secured locked down prison. Its about how he gets trapped into a highly sophisticated prison like in Korean movie Old boy where people can pay private contractors who can kidnap , keep someone as prisoners for years or as how long they need and how he gets out from there with help of his prisoner inmate Arnold forms rest of the story. But with that high level of expectation we had , this movie was not really upto the mark , visuals were very normal so many loopholes untied ends and logic skips and was really not up-to the mark like his previous Prison movie "LOCKUP". Phase of the movie is good but the storyline was not strong enough and couldn't justify viewers at many places. Nothing much to say about it but if you like both these Big star movies then you might like this movie else this is just another normal movie to watch.

My rating : 2..5/5 . 

Alexandra's Project (2003) 

One of powerful haunting and disturbing movie i have seen in recent times. Movie is about couples Steve and Alexandra and how their life turns upside down in just one birthday eve. Steve is a successful businessman a home security consultant survived by his wife Alexandra and two cute children. Movie starts fine just like any other family drama but there comes a sudden twist when Steve returns home in evening on his birthday only to find that his entire house is locked down with no exit out from the house. He starts to realize that Alexandra had planned everything to lock him down and make him watch a recording of her own in TV. At first its starts with birthday wishes from her and from his children but no sooner things take a wild twist only for Steve to realize how unhappy Alexandra was with her married life and how much she was tortured and broken every-time when he was with her as if she felt like living dead. She tries to prove how pervert Steve was and how she felt every-time he came to her and so goes the story with finally Alexandra n children leave him totally orphaned by erasing every glimpse of their memories hurting him eternally high.

The movie is adults only as most part of the movie is filled with explicit content. Though the intention of it is too prove the intensity of the script and to depict the huge pain Alexandra went through , but yet at times it could make us feel uncomfortable. But definitely this is one hell of a unique script and a rare movie i seen before and sure was really engaging till the last reel. Might be this movie intend to send a strong message to larger audience , still something definitely makes us uncomfortable here. But the technical aspects , screenplay and making was just awesome and is definitely falls under my best thriller collection . No harm giving it a try and will be worthy.






Alfonso Cuarón's Gravity ( 2013 ) - " Visually Stunning Lengthy Documentary "

I must admit that this is one hell of a visual treat watching in a High Dev Silver Screen. Really stunned by the visual and hats off to Alfonso Cuarón for pulling out such a daring film with so many breathtaking scenes. But yaa , movie is just not about Visuals alone , should be more to it , even if it is... i could take Kubricks 2001 : ASO movie where he was able to pull out such a beautiful visually stunning movie on 60's itself where there was no advancement of technology available. But if Alfonso Cuarón planned to attract the audience and convince them with just visuals alone , i am sorry that this is no greater then a normal Documentary Film and he failed in that department for sure. Actually the main characters or say only two characters on the entire movie is Sandra Bullock and GC. Actually there was nothing depth given to these characters at all and George was more of a guest role in this film as there is no actual story in this movie except in a one liner, Return to Earth after disaster in Outer-space. There was not much 3D Format used for this movie though there was lot of opportunity for it. I missed to watch this movie in a IMAX theater where i might feel a lot for this film but i would never admit this as a full length movie as through its entire run..i only felt this as a IMAX documentary film which is already released long back like IMAX Hubble 2010 ,IMAX.Space.Junk 2012 , IMAX Destiny In Space 1994 , IMAX Space Station 2002 . Yes , the opening scene and the climax break in earth atmosphere scenes were really awesome and felt as if watching a movie in Planetarium . I also wish that this movie if seen on a Full Doom IMAX with a full-dome slide projector would be Jaw dropping. BGM was good but not catchy and movie run-time is very short. Either-ways,this movie is worth a watch definitely for virtual treat alone , nothing more..nothing less.



Frozen Grounds ( 2013 )

One hell of a Investigation crime thriller , i never thought this could be that interesting and engaging. Based on True events about Serial Killer Robert Hansen at Alaska and How he was locked down with many trials of investigation is the story...John Cusack as Robert Hansen fit the role perfectly and did his best and never to miss mention Nicholas Cage with his stunning acting as a State trooper and investigation officer designated for this serial crime. Just really felt sorry for the victims at end of the film as more than 30 plus victims were brutally killed and 70 plus victims were raped and tortured. Till now , no one new the real motto behind his kills but they way he was depicted in the movie sends chills to our spine as in were were in Frozen grounds of Alaska. We cant expect too much of a dramatic finishes as its based on true story but yaa director Scott Walker did his best to cover as much details as possible in the short run of this movie..I would say not to miss this movie and this is sure worth a watchable thriller on recent times based on a serial killer.

Real Face of Robert Hansen ( Serial Killer )



Pawan Kalyan's Attarintiki Daredi :-

I like Powerstar PawanKalyan Movies so much...!! Be it Kushi , Tholi Prema , Balu , Thammudu i liked them all...But the trend of constant failures recently pisses me off..Not sure if his Director or script selection is going wrong but such a capable actor is gonig to dust at dawn. So sad this movie also joins his leagues of other failures. DSP Music after certain time becomes headache to the audience who are already in a life and dead situation watching this movie. First 15 minutes goes on but slowly this movie turns to crap. PK has put up lot of weight and he might need to consider stopping his overacting a bit. Such a nausea feel this movie gives with 500+ blender mistakes everywhere. Horrible. If its not for Brahmanandham or Samantha , the experience watching this movie would inside a theater would felt like hell. Totally Not worth and a complete let down. My rating : 0.5/5




Raja Rani - " A movie with Heart & Soul "

If there is a movie which surpassed my yet another favorite movie VTV..then easily this would be it...!! I am just awe struck with the way the movie went and i was just mesmerized on how the movie traveled along...!! The feel and joy you get while watching this movie is unmeasurable and its just stunning. Right from the word go , this movie just kicked on and till the last minute even including the bloopers..haven't felt let down even for a single minute and surely this movie is one hell of a awesome romantic love story ever made...!!!

Yes this is in lines of all other similar movies like Mounaragam , Kabhi alvida naa kehana or say Antha Ezhu Naatkal , but this is so unique compared to all and so wonderfully made. I really not expected such a onscreen performance from nayanthara , but she just really dazzled away with her acting and for sure she did a awesome acting in this film. That said , a movie can satisfy audience only when every character in the movie does their job well and in this film there is no outperformed characters or actors , be it Jai , Arya , Nazariya , Santanam , sathyan or sathyaraj..they all did their acting splendidly especially Sathyaraj acting is perfect as a father to nayanthara , he really did well...!! Not just romance , even the fun quotient and comedy inclusion by santhanam and sathyan was excellent and you would laugh out your stomach.

But the highlight of this movie is how arya and Jai took the movie through. Both being a different kind of characters...chance-less...wow..Such a beautiful romantic feel you get watching this and there were so many places you just cant control your tears..such a heart touching scenes leaving its marks in your memories. Simply this is a true Feel good movie and at same time a perfect entertainer. Hats off to Atlee for pulling out such a script so fine. Was definitely a crystal ball experience watching this movie . Never to miss mention G.V for his stunning tracks and BGMs throughout especially chillena song along with a stunning visual was just mind blowing. Not just one scene or two..there are so many favorite scenes in this movie and so touchy , melancholic too..!! No second thoughts that i am going to watch this movie again and again no matter what...

Final Verdict : Don't drown urself for any negative views as you would be a big time loser to miss watching such a finest romantic feel good movie .This movie will now remain my all time favorite . My Rating : 4.6/5
