Our Rating : 3.25/5

After long wait. the most anticipated film of the year 'Charlie'  has opened to positive reviews.  Charlie is a romantic drama but it can't be compared with Premam or Ennu Ninte Moideen. It has its own  style. With less expectations , Charlie is a decent watch.
Charlie (Dulquer Salman) is a young man who leads a detached life. He loves to travel and wishes to live without any worries.  He leads a crazy and impulsive life.  The story goes through the view point of Tessa(Parvathy Menon) who elopes from her family as she doesn't wish to get married. She finds a shelter in Kochi. Tessa lived in a room which was earlier occupied by someone. His stuff in that room and one call from his creates curiosity in Tessa to find out who the previous occupant was. The film is Tessa's journey to find who Charlie actually is.

The film is not a complete fun film like 'ABCD'. It has its own dimensions.  The style of narration was good and the visuals were outstanding.  The climax was good but abrupt. Dulquer-Parvathy chemistry is added positive to the movie.

The film isn't a pacy one. It takes its own time to get into the track.

Performance

Dulquer as Charlie was brilliant. He could present the Charming character with ease. One of his best performance till date, Parvathy was good as curious Tessa. Her mature acting skills stole the show.  Aparna Gopinath, Nedumudi Venu ,Chemban Vinod, KPAC Lalitha, Tovino,  Soubin ,Neeraj were perfect in their roles.

Music

BGM was good . Songs were average ones.

Cinematography

Charlie is visually extravagant and the credit goes to cinematographer Jomon T John. He proved himself once again with his stunning visuals.

Script and Direction

Writer Unni R is successful in creating a fresh and simple love story. The way in which characters were introduced in the film created difference. The movie doesn't have any big elements of suspense but still engages the audience .  Martin Prakkat's direction was good and he could transform a good script into a better movie.

Verdict : Charlie is A Decent Watch ....

Rating : 3.25/5

Thanga Magan Tamil Movie Review

Add caption

Direction: R Velraj
Written By : R Velraj
Music: Anirudh Ravichander
Cinematography:A Kumaran
Starring: Dhanush, Amy Jackson, Samantha
Our Rating : 3/5 

Makers of last year's blockbuster hit Velai Illa Pattathaari(VIP) join hands again in 'Thanga Magan'. Thanga Magan is a light-hearted entertainer that has its elements of humour, love,affection,and action.  Dhanush's fourth film of 2015 after Anegan,Maari and Shamitabh , he could end 2015 on a good note.


Tamizh(Dhanush) belongs to a middle class family. His two phases of life is portrayed in the film . One as an irresponsible teenager and the other as a responsible family man.  As a teenager Dhanush loved Hema(Amy Jackson) ,an Anglo Indian. As the typical love story between a beautiful looking girl and an average looking guy progresses, their love story too progressed.  However, this love story didn't flourish for long and Dhanush is married to Yamuna(Samantha) and he turns out to be a responsible family man. Things take a turn when Tamizh's father commits suicide one morning and no one knows why . How Tamizh unravels the reason is the story of Thanga Magan. 
The interval block ends on a high note. The later half is not as packed as the first. The first half was filled with timed comedy sequences,few one-liners and good elements of romance and in the later half the film shifts into a less pacy action mode. The problems which this middle class family encounters and how they overcome it forms the rest of  the plot.
A breezy,simple and light-hearted entertainer with an interesting first half and an average second half.  The romance between Dhanush and Amy was good to watch and the underlying humor was well timed and well executed.


Performance

Dhanush did exceptionally well as Tamizh both as a teenager and as a family man. Amy Jackson too did well. Samantha was good in her cute looks and mature performance.  Dhanush -Amy Chemistry worked out well.  Satish was good in his role. KS Ravikumar proved himself to be a good actor too playing Tamizh's father. Radhika Sarathkumar was equally good as Tamizh's mother. Other cast did justice to their roles.

Music

Songs by Anirudh was good. They sounded intense and mature.  The BGM was an average one. 

Screenplay and Direction

The writer is successful in creating a crisp entertainer of 2 hrs duration. The direction was also good. Director Velraj could create another entertainer after VIP. 

Verdict:- Thanga Magan would be a decent watch for the Family Audience. A Watchable Entertainer to be enjoyed with less expectations.. 

Rating: 3/5

Dilwale Ends Up Being An Average Flick ! 

Dilwale Review 

Director: Rohit Shetty

Written By : Yunus Sajawal

Cinematography : Dudley

Music: Amar Mohile

Songs : Pritam Chakraborty

Starring: Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, Varun Dhawan, Kriti Sanon

Our Rating  : 2.75/5

The most awaited ,most hyped movie of 2015 , from the SRk-Kajol-Rohit Shetty combo ends up being an average flick . From Rohit Shetty, films like Chennai Express had come and people were expecting something fresh and new for the SRK-Kajol Chemistry. This time too , the plot is the same and predictable. 

Raj (Shah Rukh Khan) is a mechanic settled in Goa . He has his brother Veer( Varun Dhawan) with him . Veer falls in love with Ishitha( Kriti Sanon) . Ishitha happens to be the sister of Meera (Kajol) . We come to know that Raj and Meera had some unfinished business 15 years back. Raj ,earler a don had fallen in love with Meera. They both belonged to mafia families having conflicts. They both meet in Bulgaria and eventually fall in love. Things do take a turn and the couple drifted apart. Raj gave up his mafia business and after 15 years he runs a garage in Goa and Meera owns a shack there. Will both the love stories end up on a good note ? This forms the rest of the plot. 

Dilwale is made for complete entertainment and only entertainment. It is enjoyable to an extent but is overloaded with cliches. Predictability spoil the show. The film is half entertaining. The chemistry between SRK and Kajol wasn't enough to save this film without a good plot. 
There are some breathtaking shots and action sequences in the film which are thoroughly entertaining. The dangerous car sequences were well shot. 

Performance

Shah Rukh Khan and his looks are the star attractions of the film. He is good looking, energetic and charming in both the avatars. Raj's character was pulled off easily by SRK and he performed exceptionally well. Especially in the action sequences.  Kajol was good in her role after a long five year break. Her different looks and performance were attractive even though we felt some scenes being too artificial.  Varun Dhawan is OK as usual. His acting and comic timing was good. He did exceptionally well in Badlapur.  Kriti Sanon doesn't have much to do in the film. Still she did her part neatly. Sanjay Mishra's acting was brilliant. Rest of the cast were good in their roles.


 Music

Janam Janam and Gerua do stand out among the songs.  

Script and Direction

The script is the major drawback of the film and has many flaws and loopholes. It heavily leans on the mega stardom of the King Khan.  Rohit Shetty is not successful in capturing romance between the epic SRK-Kajol combo. Rohit Shetty had earlier worked with cliches , but in films like Chennai Express and Singham returns, he added something to worth it watch twice.  Direction is good though. The weak plot and the cliche overloaded screenplay limits the director to create an interesting drama. 

Verdict : An Average Passable Film . Watch it if you are a huge fan of SRK.  Good For One Time Watch. 

Rating : 2.75/5

Rating:-3.25/5

After heart touching films like Ustad Hotel and Manjadikkuru , Anjali Menon is back with a youth multi starrer which is a generous and a good movie.Different from the genres she had attempted before , she has come up with a film which depicts the life of three cousins.

The  Plot of the film revolves around three cousins Krishnan a.k.a. Kuttan (Nivin Pauly) , Divya (Nazriya) and Arjun (Dulquer).

What happens in the life of the three cousins later and their bondings are beautifully pictured. Divya was forced to marry Das by her parents who are not in much good terms with the parents of the other three cousins. 

The movie , is a joyful youth movie which won't disappoint you. Don't expect anything like Ustad Hotel and Majadikkuru as this film is of a different genre and it has also kept up it's standard. The film is a bit lengthy.There are many good emotional and funny sequences in the film.

Watch Bangalore Days just for fun, humor, some emotional sequences. It is a generous feel good movie which everyone will enjoy.

Performance

Among the actors, Nivin Pauly was good a  shy and conscious techie.  Dulquer as usual has done a good and decent job. Nazriya was excellent and delightful in her looks, expressions, and dialogues. Fahadh was good as a rough and workaholic husband. All the other casts including Parvathi,Nithya Menon, Isha Talwar has done good job in acting.

Music
Gopi Sunder's songs were good. BGM was also equally good.

Technical Aspects
Sameer Thahir's visuals were too brilliant. The frames were captured with much excellence. The editing was also crisp and good.

Anjali Menon who has earlier delivered many hit movies gives another good movie this time. She proves herself as a director and writer once again. The script has many loop holes and the film was a bit lengthy.

Mr Fraud Malayalam Movie Review

Director:- B Unnikrishnan

Music:- Gopi Sundar

Cinematography:- Satheesh Kurup

Editing:- Manoj

Starring:- Mohanlal,Dev Gill..

Our Rating:- 3/5

                      After the classic hit Drishyam, Mohanlal comes up with his new venture Mr Fraud which is a mass heist movie.  Mohanlal has earlier teamed up with director B Unnikrishnan for Madampi and Grandmaster which were super hits.


Mohanlal plays a fraud in the film with different names, a non sympathetic hi-tech cunning robber.  He is given a new mission which helps him gain a huge amount so that he can end up with all these games. The mission is too risky and challenging as the character says.  A treasure belongs to an old kovilakam known as Adityapuram Kovilakam.The family members are too much bothered about the distribution of wealth except Rajasekhara Varma(Siddique) and Saraswathy(Mia).  An Ex MLA and a staunch communist Varma wants the entire wealth to be handed over to the government. Will Mr Fraud be successful in completing the mission forms the rest of the plot.

The film is a mass heist thriller and there is no point of asking for a different story line. The first half of the film is racy and entertaining. The second half , though not much interesting is also average.  Overall Mr Fraud is a mass heist thriller. A must watch for fans and good for one time watch for others.

Performance

Mohanlal was simply free flowing and outstanding even making minutest expressions and dialogues clap worthy. His new look in grey hair and beard was good and he was in full control giving a decent performance.  Siddique is decent in a pivotal role. Dev Gill as the antagonist is shrill. All others gave a decent performance.

Music

Gopi Sundar's BGM is interesting and the songs are equally good.

Technical Aspects

Satheesh Kurup's camera work is good and visuals are interesting. Editing was sharp.  VFX team has done a good job. Art work and action choreography are average.

Direction And Screenplay

B Unnikrishnan's script was simply average but it engaged the viewers through out. The script has few loop holes here and there. Direction part was good. The dialogues were interesting.

Verdict:- Good for one time watch .. Must watch for Fans..Go With Less Expectations 

Rating:- 3/5

7th Day Malayalam Movie Review

Director:- Syamdhar

Cinematography:-Sujith Vaassudev

Screenplay:-Akhil Paul

Music:-Deepak Dev

Editing:-John Kutty

Our Rating:-3/5

Starring:-Prithviraj,Vinay Fort

Verdict:- A Good Suspense Thriller

          

                   7th Day from debutant Syamdhar is a feel good suspense thriller which has Prithviraj in the main role.

David Abraham IPS(Prithviraj) is a crime branch officer who is under suspension. He has been suspended for a reason which will be revealed in later stage of the movie. Even though under suspension, he investigates an unregistered case by himself. On the night of Christmas, David and two youngsters Shaan(Vinay Fort) and Vinu(Anu Mohan) go for a chance encounter which changes their life.The the other three in their gang  being Jessy(Janani Iyer) ,Cyril(Praveen Prem) and Eby(Tovino Thomas).These guys tries to escape from a money laundering racket.The investigation would be completed in a span of seven days starting from the day of Christmas to the day of new year.  Revealing much about the story would reduce your interest in watching this one. Will David succeed in solving the case ? What will happen on the 7th Day forms the rest of the plot.

The first half of the film drags a bit when the premise of the thriller is set. The second half of the film is brilliant  and the climax was a good one. The lack of pace and need of logic arise  in the first half. So, 7th Day is an average and good watchable thriller from Prithviraj if you avoid comparison with his other police characters.


Performance

Prithviraj is the back bone of the film. He played his role well in his middle aged look, intense expressions and dialogue delivery.  Vinay Fort and Anu Mohan were equally good. Others did justice to their roles.

Music

Music by Deepak Dev, though not outstanding,it  is not a let down. BGM was fine.

Technical Aspects

Sujith Vaassudev's camera work was brilliant. His dark shaded frames were excellent. 

Direction And Screenplay

Debutant writer Akhil Paul tries to give a serious tone to the narrative by slowing the pace. But he is not much successful in doing that. The script has many loop holes in it. Debutant director Syamdhar has done his part well. He tried much to make this one a dark mood thriller. 

Verdict:-7th Day is Just A Good Suspense Thriller...

Rating:-3/5

Gangster Malayalam Movie Review

Director:-Aashiq Abu

Cinematography:-Alby

Music:-Deepak Dev

Screenplay:-Ahmed Siddique

Editing:-Saiju Sreedharan

Our Rating:- 2.5/5

Verdict:- Average

Starring:- Mammotty,Sekhar Menon...

Well , the most awaited movie of 2014 released today. People waiting to see their mega star on screen with stylish looks. Gangster seems to be the usual old gangster movies which doesn't have an enough good plot.

The story of Gangster unfolds in the city of Mangalore ruled by 3 'Gangsters', Mani Menon(Kunchan), Uncle Sam(John Paul) and Akbar Ali Khan(Mammootty).  The story begins with some animation clips which describe how Akbar became a gangster. Things goes fine in Mangalore until Uncle Sam's grandson Anto (Sekhar Menon) , a sexual pervert and a drug addict reaches the city. He plans to import contaminated vaccines to Mangalore port and sell them at higher rates thereby making much profit. Akbar is against drug activities and he opposes him. Anto plans to eliminate Akbar. In an attempt Akbar's wife Sana(Nyla Usha) gets killed and Akbar gets seriously injured. A disappointed Akbar moves to Ajmer for a pilgrimage with a mind that longs to take revenge on the one who ruined him. From then , it's all about violence. Will Akbar be successful in his attempt forms the rest of the plot.

So that's all about Gangster. The main attraction of the film is the stylish looks of the 'Gangster'. The film has many flaws in it. The film was slow in it's pace. Many sequences were excellent and a few were not up to the mark. The Villain character was not strong enough. As a whole, Gangster is a usual mass movie which never lives up to the standard and hype it made initially before it's release. The film has lot of violence elements and for that, it was given an 'A' Certificate.

Performance

The main attraction of the movie was Mammootty's performance ,stylish looks and dialogue delivery, He portrayed the Gangster very well. Nyla Usha was good in her role even though she didn't get much chance. Sekhar Menon, the villain couldn't live up to the standard of the protagonist.Rest of the cast were good in their roles.

Music

Music from Deepak Dev was good. Background music is another interesting element of the movie.

Technical Aspects

Cinematography was brilliant and lived up to international standards. The frames and angles were perfect , The Makeup man, Art director , costume designer receives appreciation as they made Gangster Stylish.

Direction And Screenplay

The script is the villain here. If the script was a better one, Gangster would have been brilliant. The script  by Ahmed Siddique and Abhilash Kumar was not up to the mark. Aashique Abu direction work was good but the lack of a good script made the direction weak.

Verdict:-Average Mass Entertainer..May Not Appeal to All..

Rating:-2.5/5
