Soul (2020)
10/10
Beautiful film
30 December 2020
One of the best heartwarming movies ever created, I'd say an animated masterpiece! Pixar never disappoints audience when it comes to storytelling. Almost teared then and there when watching this film, not gonna lie. Just watch this 100 minutes film when you are free, don't wanna spoil it here. You wouldn't regret watching it and you'd be perfectly satisfied after watching!

Disappointed
27 December 2020
Warning: Spoilers
Definitely not a good movie to be an action film. Hans Zimmer music, Gal Gadot and Pedro Pascal's performance were noteworthy, rest of it were just bad. Is it wonder woman 1984 or Aladdin sequel? It's PG-13 yet the film was more like G certified(Absurdly Childish). This is one of the films where I felt I've wasted money to watch it on theatre.

Andhaghaaram (2020)
8/10
Eerie yet beautiful film
26 November 2020
Warning: Spoilers
One of the best supernatural films I've ever seen! Everything was excellent especially music, cinematography and direction. Casting was also perfect for this film. Don't miss this film, highly recommended. Very intriguing Storyline. It would've been perfect if the movie was a bit longer at the end as the climax was rushed due to not exceeding the 3 hour duration. The first half isn't slow, I'd say it's the character development within the story. I'd watch this even if it was 3 and half hours film. Kudos!

Birds of Prey (2020)
4/10
Funny but...
8 February 2020
Warning: Spoilers
The movie was watchable and funny at 1 or 2 moments but to be honest, it's one of the films which is forgettable. Most of the jokes were cringe and narration felt so weak. The characterisation was awful(except Robbie and McGregor, they were good, others were meh). They wasted Black Mask, the climax was disappointing. It's better than suicide squad, that's an improvement. I don't know about how others felt but for me, it was a below average film.

Psycho (I) (2020)
6/10
Not bad
24 January 2020
Warning: Spoilers
Psycho, the film where everyone has roles and a very complicated antagonist. The film is so raw, so sensitive people(taboo topics and murders), don't go to the movie and complaint afterwards. It's 'A' certified for a reason. Narration, DOP, song placements and casting were pleasing on this film. Myskkin knows how to make an art out of the film and has a great sense of writing. I'm glad he makes these kind of films(audience on my theatre applauded after the movie finished). There are negatives but overall, it's not that a bad film.

Darbar (2020)
5/10
Sub-par film
10 January 2020
Warning: Spoilers
Average revenge story. Positives - Rajini's energetic charisma, Yogi Babu scenes, some Nivetha Thomas' portions and BGM, that's it. Everything else was bad, so bad that i felt cringey even during some emotional scenes. Opening fight sequence, for commercial elements, the director could've made the fight somewhat illogical but this was way out of logic, slicing 50+ bad people at the same time, they should've really rethought about the fight scenes. If it was a fantasy fight film, it's totally believable. ARM really screwed up with dubbing, they should've made hindi actors to speak in tamil or else they should've totally spoke in hindi and made tamil subtitles. What ARM did was he made them speak in hindi and gave tamil voice, looked like a dubbing movie to be honest. Nayanthara as usual played a bigil like role in this film too. We only got to see villain in 2nd half but he is like usual villain who keeps walking and talking forever. Climax fight was atrocious. This film made me think "Is this really ARM's film?". For Rajini fans(veriyans) and children,this is a treat for them. Overall film is sub-par.

The Mandalorian: Chapter 8: Redemption (2019)
Season 1, Episode 8
9/10
Impressed and great lore exploration
28 December 2019
Warning: Spoilers
After Rogue one,this is the one where I felt like Star Wars. I thought we won't see Mandalorian's face but we saw Pedro Pascal out of his helmet in this episode.Droid IG-11,what can I say, it's the saviour of this season finale,even IG-11 had a great character development than the sequel trilogy, now that's what I call a successful filmmaking.

I hope Season 2 will be made within a year because it's really good SW series.

Disney made this into a joke
21 December 2019
Warning: Spoilers
First of all, this movie was neither perfect(10/10s) nor very worst(1/10s). The Last Jedi was very bad on the Star Wars Saga but The Rise of Skywalker was watchable. Because of Rian Johnson's ilogical story telling on TLJ, TRoS is facing heavy criticism.

The visuals were great and fun to watch. Kylo Ren and Rey's plot was okay-ish(weird kissing scene just like Rose & Finn's on TLJ). Other than that, there's not much to it. So many characters were wasted. The story was too rushed, especially first 1 hour of the film. The ending felt like RotJ(Darth Vader turning to light side).

The whole movie didn't disappoint me but it didn't satisfy me either, the feeling is like a wooden log is in the middle of the ocean,neither settles on the ocean bed nor comes up to the surface of the ocean.

You'll either like it, hate it or feel nothing after watching the film.

Disappointing.
1 December 2019
Warning: Spoilers
Only few positives like Dhanush Acting, BGM and 2 hearable songs(only hearable). Rest of the film negative. Voice over was good at start of the film but after 15 minutes,it gets irritating/unbearable, Protagonist explains every single thing what's happening on the screen,which was so absurd. Megha Akash's debut film, tried her best but I noted that at some scenes, her acting was not that good. Sasikumar's English was obnoxious(that accent didn't suit him to be honest, I don't know if it's just me or everyone felt the same way). The movie felt very lengthy(in my opinion, paayamale irunthu irukalam). Overall, the movie is below average. Watch it only if you want to.

7000 RPM, that's where everything fades!
16 November 2019
The best racing sport drama I've ever seen after 'Rush'. Car Maniac's will love this film. I know one or two about regular cars and I've no idea about racing cars but from zero to end, the film was exhilarating and i got to know how 24 hours le mans event goes. Christian Bale and Matt Damon's friendship in movie was funny yet beautiful! Even one liner jokes worked out very well. I specifically want to appreciate Sound Design crew and Director for this movie, boy what a feel they've given to this film! Watch it even if you don't know anything about racing cars, it's explained very detailed in the film.

Jesse Pinkman in the house!
11 October 2019
I asked myself "Does this need to continue as a movie after a brilliant finale?". But after watching, it totally is a needed movie to conclude Jesse Pinkman's character. It felt like 2 long & entertaining episodes to me rather than as a movie. Cinematography was great. This totally concludes Breaking Bad saga and Vince Gilligan knows how to end things perfectly without plotholes. A must watch film for Breaking Bad fans!

Joker (I) (2019)
10/10
Worth the hype!
2 October 2019
Warning: Spoilers
Joaquin Phoenix, what a performance, felicitous for the Joker role! He lived as Joker, very empathetic one. You know what? This movie is and will be one of the phenomenal movies of 2019. The message the movie tried to convey via cinematography at climax is an art, pure excellent art! The movie is so raw that it's actually disturbing to watch some scenes(Violence/Gore). This is how a dark movie should be made. One of the best movies to portray what a person can go upto based on how society treats him/her. Just ignore the critics and watch the movie!

Ushaar Masilamani
20 September 2019
Parthiban, portrayed as Masilamani, gets interrogated as a suspect of a murder and what happens next is the story. You'll understand the title of my review after watching the movie. One man show at it's best, it didn't feel like one man movie due to the gripping storyline and the way they took the interrogation. Movies like this should be encouraged for the bold experimental murder mystery. Moviebuffs should definitely watch this. I don't know about others but i loved the way they presented this film.

We're losers and we always will be
7 September 2019
Many of them compared Chapter 1 with Chapter 2 but didn't realise they were all in one book. It's nearly 3 hours long but it's necessary as it's 1100+ pages novel, it wasn't even boring. Cast, screenplay, direction, cinematography, bg scoring were felicitous. Pennywise's performance was great. Many jumpscares were there, not just for name sake but it was along the storyline. Many bashed the movie just because critics did, trying to be intellectual. There were cons in the movie like very silly jokes on a serious shot(atmost 5 times), few poor choices of dialogues. Watch it if you're horror fan/have fun watching a movie.

Likeable film by everyone

Mysterio, my favourite rival against spiderman! Visuals and background score were stunning. Much better film than homecoming. I won't spoil the story. Just watch it on theatre, full entertainment.

Toy Story 4 (2019)
8/10
I'm not a toy! Ahhh!
21 June 2019
Eventhough this part wasn't necessary, the emotional happy ending to this film was fulfilling and amazing in my opinion. This is more than just the story of toys messing around. It's got every element to satisfy us and make us realise what life really is. I thought this movie would be like Toy Story 2 but i was wrong. Pixar again proved they are one of the best animation film makers! So long, partner.

Game Over (I) (2019)
7/10
A game called life
15 June 2019
Intriguing thriller film. The whole movie was only story oriented, that's why the film was about 103 minutes only(accurate duration for this film). The script of this film is great.

Taapsee and Vinodhini's performance were natural and brilliant. Taapsee's lip sync was accurate in this film, didn't feel unnatural. BGM is a backbone of this film, thanks to Ron Ethan Yohaan.

Many won't understand what the film is trying to portray at the end, it's ok, just analyse the film and you'll know what was the director's(Ashwin Saravanan) vision for this film was about.

I can't say that there is no negatives at all, there is but i don't want to tell and spoil the plot. Watch in theatres only, highly recommended for moviebuffs !

Chernobyl: Vichnaya Pamyat (2019)
Season 1, Episode 5
10/10
Let him speak
4 June 2019
Astonishingly wonderful horrific real story. The trial scene with such an understandable explanation made this episode one of the best finale of a series. The cinematography and screenplay of this episode were top notch. The lies and politics behind the chernobyl disaster came out eventually. The truth was told atlast. Everyone who sacrificed their life for resolving chernobyl incident were the true heroes, respect and a salute to them.

Special thanks to the directors, writers and all technical crews who made this miniseries possible. I hope HBO continues to give us good series like chernobyl, peace.

Aladdin (2019)
7/10
Don't believe the critics!
3 June 2019
This is one of the best live action Disney movies I've ever seen to be honest. What's wrong with the critics, bashing the movie for no reason? The movie was beautiful filled with joy, comedy, story, it got everything! Mena Massoud, Naomi scott and Will smith gave their best on this. Guy Ritchie made this movie possible, thanks to him. It's a Disney movie, so there will be more songs(it goes along with the story, you won't get bored). Watch with your family, you'll love it.

NGK (2019)
6/10
Inconsistent 2nd half made it an average political satire film
1 June 2019
Warning: Spoilers
Firstly, I like Director Selva's past projects. Secondly, don't go with expectations for this film, it'll totally disappoint you in every way.

Coming to the film, Director Selvaraghavan tried a different political satire film, i appreciate that but i must say it's a failed one. "Anbe Peranbe" song didn't suit at all during that scene. Suriya did his best, his outrageous scenes didn't feel that much of a overacting. Sai pallavi did overact at certain scenes(you'll know after watching the film). Rakul preet's character was so complicated, at first she was like a 'boss lady, Ms. Confidence' etc, then after few scenes, she became like a 'love girl' out of nowhere. Suriya's father was used only for a phone call scene, he was like a puppet throughout the film. After interval block, he gets admitted to hospital. Instead of making kumaran unconscious and planning to kill him with a silenced gun, why not just poison him in the first place? Next scene, Bathroom fight scene, this was illogical as he was only partially conscious and fought everyone without any struggle. Kumaran did turn into villain at climax but lots of inconsistency scenes made it look like an average flick.

Director Selva didn't have a full understanding of how politics works on real life. This film had the potential to be one of the better movies, so sad it got flushed away gradually. Suriya fans maybe satisfied by this film but not the general audience, 6.5/10.

Graphics alone isn't enough to make a film successful
30 May 2019
Pros: VFX, fight scene(climax) and bgm. Cons: Everything except the pros. I get that it will have same kind of story but they should progress that simple storyline as interesting as possible. I can clearly say they failed to do that and should've definitely improved on many aspects. I didn't even have an impact or connection on any of the main lead actors/actresses. Watch if you have nothing to do/godzilla fan or else don't.

Game of Thrones: The Iron Throne (2019)
Season 8, Episode 6
3/10
One of the greatest TV shows ended with worst finale
20 May 2019
Predictable ending. Too many plot armour. Forced at many scenes. They somehow ended it with a good ending(didn't suit at all)... All the character development(especially Jon, Tyrion, Arya, Dany) gone within last 4 episodes... Worst finale to the greatest tv show (not anymore). Thanks to D&D for the best worst finale season. I'd say 3 to 4 out of 10 to the crew(cast, technicians,production etc) for their hardwork. Valar Morghulis!

Brooklyn Nine-Nine: Cinco de Mayo (2019)
Season 6, Episode 16
10/10
Every Halloween Heist were good and so was this!
10 May 2019
Unlike last episode(Return of the king), Cinco de mayo was one of the funniest episodes where you expect the unexpected and it surely fulfilled us. I thought there won't be a heist episode this season but at the end, they made it and it's great!
