Top Indian Movies of 2021

  Karnan A movie that is visually beautiful and socially impactful is one best adaptation of Indian mythology. Karnan shed light on the hardship the unprivileged group has to face in society but this time with some commercial touch to it. The film is full of symbols which for shadows the events which happen later in the movie. In this film not just the humans become the character’s but from a snail to the mountains are part of the story make this movie a unique experience.   Minnal Murali To make a superhero movie that suits Kerala culture is not an easy job. The tight screenplay of this film makes it a good story even if we take out the superhero elements. It has some issues in some technical accepts but all of it is outshined by the intent narrative that keeps us engaged and gives us the story that the director wants us to tell.   Nayattu I don’t know why I love films but this film is a summary bad and corrupted our system is and the marginal society get a...

Jai Bhim Movie Review

 

The new Suriya starer Jai Bhim is another social drama that deals with an important topic. Jai Bhim tries to be this impactful movie that sheds light on an important topic but falls short to be impactful. The big reason for it is that the characters never really flushed out except Lijomol Jose’s character and she was great in the role.  Surya’s advocate Chandhu was dimensional; he felt like a hero that came to the rescue. The movie focused on the message and didn’t think of how to execute it.  The movie has its moments especially Sengani played by Lijomol Jose says no to the help given to her and that was a powerful scene.   

Amazon Prime Music bounty

Films like Visarne and Karan talked about this topic in a more impactful way. The running time of the movie could have been cut short. The outcome of the movie is quite predictable but still holds some twists.  The screenplay of the movie is a roller coaster with some impactful scenes, some not so impactful. The film is based on true events which makes it interesting, Rajeesha Vijayan was just there, anyone could have played out that role. The scenes beating up the accused will give you a scare but we have seen this many movies but this was necessary to the story.  

The movie is a kind of good v/s evil story where there are a few bad guys and good guys, Yes the story demands that but they were all just like half-cooked characters which we forget after the movie ends. Movies like Visarnay and  Karan stay with us even after the movie ends but Jai Bhim does not give us that feeling. It’s good that mainstream actors like Surya take a social subject but that doesn’t mean all movies like this should be good.

A perfect Tribute to the legend?

Image
 Ray is yet another anthology based on short stories of the legend Satyajit Ray The negative I have is at least three movies could have cut short in 40 Minutes rather than almost one hour of running time and they could have made more impact. The movies Bharupiya and Spotlight were a bit confusing when it comes to the end because it kind of breaks the reality it is set in even though the stories were interesting. The final twist reveals of Spotlight which is the first entry in the anthology was quite predictable. The movie which likes among the four  Manoj Bajpayee starred "Hungama Hey Kyon Barpa" which felt a good mixture of seriousness and comedy but again running time made the movie lagged. On the technical side the visuals, music was good and have some sequences which are rare in Indian movies and all the actors have done a good job. Like the idea of telling stories by adapting tom to the modern-day.  I think some of these works as written material and the makers shou...

KANAKAM KAMINI KALAHAM REVIEW

Image
  I have always been a supporter of out-of-the-box movies in Malayalam, most of these movies won’t get the credit from the masses the new genre may not be everyone’s cup of tea. The new Nivin Pauly flick Kanakam Kamini Kalaham written and directed by Ratish Ambat is one of those offbeat Malayalam movies that won’t be like buy many. The theme of the absurd comedy is an exaggeration of daily life events.  The story takes in the Hotel which has over-the-top versions of real-life people. What like about the movie is that references a lot of stuff like body shaming, political correctness which are the most discussed topic nowadays. Apart from this, there are references to films like The Shining, My Name is Khan, etc. How much unique this movie is I didn’t quite connect with the movie, there are some laugh-out moments in the movie but they are too over the top for my taste. There are some good performances from Nivin Pauly, Grace Antony, Vinay Fort, Rajesh Madhavan, and Sudesh Kumar...

A Perfect Ending | Money Heist Review

Image
    Since the last year of the Pandemic era, the show Money Heist has become a global phenomenon. The first half of the final season is a heartbreaking cliffhanger wondering the audience what would happen next. To be honest, I am not a huge fan of the whole gold part of the series. It was unnecessary and some character death seemed like a cheap trick to get emotionally invested in the show but the first two parts of the fifth season have won me over. The plus point of Money Heist is that all five seasons were fast-paced which never bore the audience. Coming from Spain the series has a unique style to it. When it comes to the fifth season the story has a nonlinear pattern and the second story in the series felt unnecessary but it paid off in the end. The story is also an extension of this universe; it shows the previous life of the characters and how they ended up in the heist of the Bank of Spain.   Well, this is the season where the side characters also go to Shine Gandi...
