Top Indian Movies of 2021

Image
  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...

A fun Satire

Image
  The new Netflix animated movie America The Motion Picture is a reimagining of the American Revolution with a twist. It is a none sensical animated flick and the movie is exactly that, which the director wants us to watch. We must set aside our brain to enjoy what is a fun over the top movie that takes place in a made-up world in our actual history. I love these types film which is bold enough to present their idea without the intention to prove anything. The final battle was well executed along with referenced many popular movies, sports, and many more. After watching this movie went google search for the real-life persons which characters represented this made me like the movie even better. If it won't be a problem I like to see a remained version of Indian history as well

Horror + Crime

Image
  The new Malayalam thriller is a blending of horror and crime genre. The movie is not the next best thing but a one-time watch. The editing and camera are excellent in the film so are the BackGround Score.  The story, it started in an interesting way but when it comes to it became quite predictable. In a crime thriller, the story will be interesting if the task of solving the crime is a challenge but when it comes to the second half it becomes easy for the protagonist. The horror part is done in a believable way that does not break the reality of the world it is set. When it comes to the acting part everybody has done good jobs the roles were not challenging for anyone. "Cold Case is a one-time watch thriller that does not belong to the must-watch category but worth giving it a try" Rating 6/10

My Top five movies of 2021 so far

Image
 Karnan A movie magically reimagined Mahabharata with a new twist to the tale. The movie transforms the viewers to the world the story is set. It felt like we are part of the Village and of course, the story is something that is still relevant today. Raya and The Last Dragon I was lucky enough to see this gem on the big screen. This was one of the most intense Disney movies I have seen. All the characters are multilayered which I like about the film. It has got some intense sword fight in an animated movie. Nayattu  This is one of the most heartbreaking films from the Malayalam film industry. The story was new and was not seen from Mollywood. The movie reflects the harsh reality of the political systems in our country. Zack Snyders's Justice league The list won't be complete without a superhero film. I don't understand why Warner Bross didn't say yes to this version of the film. The movie felt like an epic tale that felt true to DC Comics. There some technical issues wh...

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...

A simple story

Image
The new Netflix movie Fatherhood is a simple story with a heartwarming message. This, not the best film ever made and it never tries to be. The movie has some cringe moments which can be overlooked. I have seen movies where single moms bringing up children, in fatherhood, are about a widowed husband bringing up his child which I haven't seen before. Well, the tone and plot of the movie might be familiar and those don't like these type of movies might not like it. Kevin Hart was good in his role so was the rest of the cast. This kind of movie you can watch with family during this tough time. Fatherhood is not just watched a film but watching it won't hurt anyone.

Finally A movie on wild life conservation

Image
 Always wanted to see a movie that shed light on wildlife conservation from India and finally got one. The plot of Sherni is a subject that no one discusses considered less important among common people. The plot revolves around the forest of Madhya Pradesh and when a man-eating tiger is on the run and a wildlife officer played by Vidya Balan is on a mission to capture the tiger. The movie showcase perfectly the hardships of wildlife officers and how they try to keep the peace between humans and animals. The movie shows how important conservation is and how can selfish people be an obstacle to make conservation possible. Everything in the film is captured realistic as if we are watching a real event.  Sherni is one of those rare films that discuss something important that should consider as a priority in today's world.

Jagame Thandhiram Hit or Miss

Image
 The New Kollywood gangster flick is a disappointment in terms of what was expected. It has got everything to hyped. Dhanush is good at picking scripts for the last few years and it has got an international face like Jame Cosmo finally a craftsman like Karthik Subbaraj is directing it.  Jagame Thandhiram is not a bad film but it doesn't add anything new and it is predictable after the first half. This is hard to say but the writing bit lazy and the second is a bit dragged. The movie does not make you bore entirely and the action sequences are well made. The performance of the was impressive. The expectation may have affected the impact or whether the theatre viewing would make more impact maybe.

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...
