I have not read the novel but the I can understand the story through this movie. Bad things happened with the marital life of a landlord's wife and then she fell in relationship with a servant man and she is not ashamed to tell that to people because she really loved him and it is not just lust. The story is actually good. The screenplay of this movie is really bad. There is not much love portion between the servant man and the lady to convince the audience and justify that it is really love. Rather all the scenes are lust full and sexy. Emma Corrin was very good at acting. She know how to convey emotions through eyes. But she was not used right. Why so much sex? It should have been a good feel good movie. But the directorial team failed.

Ponniyin Selvan: Part I
(2022)
Mani's Selvan
30 September 2022
This one is again an usual Maniratnam movie. Nothing special. From an ordinary world cinema fanboy's point of view I should say that this movie lacks the cinematic grammar what a historical/period film should have. Director Maniratnam claims that he had tried to capture the essence of Kalki's Ponniyin Selvan, but what I feel is he failed. For example, the way Aditya Karikalan's character portrayed in the film is absolute non sense. Do a war general like Aditya Karikalan drink alcohol, dance and regret a love failure. No. History says he was a disciplined warrior, intelligent and brave and not a barbarian fool. In fact many think that Kalki's book is a history book. But it is not and Ponniyin Selvan is a historical fiction. Kalki scrutinised the history and makes readers think that Raja Raja Cholan was also one of the suspects of the murder of Aditya Karikalan. No proof from history. Coming to this movie, I humbly request director Maniratnam to watch historical movies like Spartacus, Gladiator, Braveheart, TROY or atleast movies like Jodha Akbar, Padmaavat and then direct a historical film or else please don't.

Good action movie

The story and screenplay was way back in time but still it is one time watchable action movie. They have also talked about how women actually treated in army. All actors acted good. Overall a decent women centric action movie.

Perfect Mass Mafia Movie
4 June 2022
Such an outstanding mass movie from Tamil cinema industry after very long time. Actually the story was well written to celebrate Kamal Hassan. Well, yes indeed, the director has succeeded in executing that. But still the screenplay, making, action choreography and bgm could have been original. So that we could have said it was a movie with international standards. Still this one is surely a feast for mass movie audience and Kamal Hassan fans ofcourse. Talking about Kamal Hassan, he was the pinnacle of new age cinema. Age is just numbers for that guy. Watch it in theatres along full crowd. It is VERA LEVEL experience.

Not well executed
28 May 2022
The story is very simple and it speaks a social issue. They could have done well but they failed in areas of screenplay, dialogue and to say overall that the movie is not executed well enough the core idea. One time watchable.

Good movie
1 May 2022
The story is all about depiction of what is happening in today's India. Screenplay was very good. Then and there lag is there but overall the movie is good. Actors acted so well. Movie exactly shows how police, press and the judiciary system in India brainwash lower class people. Young people must watch the movie.

Good cop movie

This movie will definitely change the perspective which people generally have on police. This movie very nicely depicted the hardship of a lower rank police officers. Screenplay, dialogue, acting was super. Waiting for part 2.

Simple good movie
30 March 2022
The movie is about a true incident. Everyone knows what happens with the story. But the brilliant screenplay engaged the audience till the end of the movie. All artists performed well. Again a low budget good movie from Malayalam cinema industry.

A decent mass movie
25 March 2022
This movie is another commercial mass picture with Rajamouli's touch. The movie lacks strong storyline. The team escapes with the decent screenplay. The actors performance was very good. For world cinema lovers please leave your brain at your home and watch the movie once. This movie is not for us.
One time watchable
20 February 2022
Yes this movie is different but the story is not that strong. The movie tried to show how people change in difficult times. The characters written were not strong enough. Actors performance is good. One time watchable movie.
