Poklosie 2012 ( Polish ) Aftermath
Started off as a simple Brothers reunion , where the elder brother ( Kalina ) comes back to his native after 20 years to visit his younger brother ( Jozef ) who seem to be running a rough patch in neighborhood . As film progresses , more weirdly events start to occur for only Kalina to realize that his brother is into some wrong path due to which he has gained hatred from all the neighbors. Jozef seems to be more interested to collect all the graveyard stones of Jews who were believed to be killed by Germans ,dead for many years and that their Memorial stones are removed and been used to lay roads around the area . Jozef feels it as disrespect to the dead and so he starts to spend huge money to collect those stones and he safeguards in his land. Since those stones are of Jews , a internal conflict raises between the polish members and so they start to isolate him from any affairs within the village.
As movie runs its course , both brothers start to realize there is something strange about the people there and that they are hiding something as if there is a much darker secret they all are trying to hide. So these brothers set out to find the mystery which eventually turns to be much shocking thing then they expected.
Movie will be slow and we cannot expect a dramatic twists as its inspired from true events happened in town of Jedwabne, north-east of Warsaw.An investigation ordered by the Polish government has found that on July 10, 1941, at least 340 Jews were killed, some burned alive after being locked inside a barn. The investigation found Nazi occupiers and local people colluded in the massacre.Worth watching once.

Locke ( 2014 ) :-
Stunned with the way this movie carried through....Such movies keep us proving that you dont really need a big budget to make such a classy movie. I still wonder how the makers in Hollywood find such interesting subjects for film making. So simple and neat movie. Touches our emotions , melancholic at most times makes us feel the heat Tom hardy was going through. Lovely film and a interesting one. Short and sweet .

Jigarthanda ( 2014 ) : " Puzhudi Parakum Paru "
If a movie gives a fulfillment before stepping out of the theater and if you feel that the value for money you paid for the ticket has been returned to you with full-satisfaction , can we call that as success of the movie ? If so i am completely satisfied with this movie at 100%. I hear people always complain about our movie making skills , our presentation and complaining about directors not stepping out of their comfort zone to try something new , but when filmmakers actually try that i see the same people still don't realize it , appreciate it and complaining it has a complete satire film for the industry with full of cliche.Though i fully respect their opinion as they are entitled too so much as i do , at same time i feel bad that they are indirectly pulling the industry backwards and this will be never helpful in anyway for the advancement of our industry.
Right from the start this movie has impressed me a lot for sure. I would say Simha is a Simhabalam " A lion support " for this movie. I just couldn't beleive he is the same person i seen in Soodu kavvum , what a terrific transformation he had in this film , be it his facial expression or his body language he just fitted himself so perfectly to the character and it was stunning to watch him frame by frame and he deserves more then just applause for this film and i believe this is just the start. The next most important thing is the BGM , though i feel the traces of Rock n Rolla , WKW Fallen angel BGM scores here and there..i dont have any issues enjoying it. I loved the BGM to the core and waah wow what a sound tracks they been " Puridi parakum paru " such a energetic song it was , when listening to audio it didnt impress me much but when i actually seen it with visual it was goosebumps all over and not just that..even Kanamma Song was osm and Ding Dong was terrific. This is one movie i enjoyed every sound track in the film to the core. I loved it with the visuals.
For the kind of first half like a perfect gangster movie and the way it was twisted totally upside down in second half without compromising the quality in screenplay was damn terrific.Yes at second half during the Film teacher part while he teaches simha and his gang on acting skill , i really felt it uneasy or unnecessary but at the end when the movie gets released and all those moments with the teacher was captured as a movie , it all made sense and whats deliberately made.If you say whether this movie defise logic and whether any of this will ever happen in real life , my answer is we will never know ..and even if it doesnt happen , this is cinema and filmmaker has every right to bring his imagination to life in silver screen and i would say this was one of perfect script and a engaging one appealing every kind of audience irrespective of what genre fans they are.....Forgot to mention the cameo role of Vijay sethupathy and it was damn cool for sure.
Siddharth had a bad phase in this carrier before this movie and he can now be sure that he seems to have grabbed the helping hands of Karthik Subbaraj to climb up towards success. Lucky they didnot dragged love portion too much in this movie and i am sure that helped the movie too. Movie is very poetic at times and with breath taking visuals giving a satisfying feel to a normal audience. I am so glad that this season has produced good movies back to back like Saduranga vettai , V.I.P , now this and i am see the positive trend in film making . Though if we cant appreciate them , lets not drag them back and lets give them the freedom to experiment. Karthik Subbaraj has pulled out a lottery from his magic hat and this is just the beginning i feel.
PS : Movie is really good and i am fully satisfied. I dont give a da** where its inspired from .

The People vs. Larry Flynt (1996)
Based on true incidents about Life of Larry Flynt who is now the CEO of Larry Flynt publications famously known for Porn based Hustler Magazine just like Playboy Magazine. A simple Moonshine selling kid owns a dance bar and later improvises it by managing to start a weekly newsletter of his own raises to became a millionaire using porn as a buisness. Sex was legal those days but illicit images on a magazine was illegal. So peoples eyes from nearby community turns towards him and they start a legal proceeding against Larry Flynt. From then on , Flynt takes on each trail in a weird way to prove his Right to information and Right to speak as per U.S First amendment law. Even his lower half of body goes into paralysis when there was a murder attempt on him leaving him like that. Irrespective of all that , he still charges against the legal proceeding , people to prove what he feels right to speak. Though i feel the message was okay being said that its based on true incidents , but when it comes to movie it was weirdly captured . His girlfriend and later wife was disgusting to watch in the movie and it was not too comfortable to see two drug addicts in the movie living their life in a weird way. When Flynt wins the final case , it was not even gave any impact to us nor the reason he has to behave like a maniac inside the courthouse doesn't make any sense.True detective fame Woody Harrelsen gave a very good performance at first half but later i felt like it faded out. Considering it based on real incidents , we can watch it one time for sure.
