DialR4Review RATED 7/10

The movie is raw and authentic, that makes this movie more unique in presentation. The camera work is awesome. The cast and acting is too good. Rakshit used the ambience and the festival perfectly to make this venture to navigate in different genres like adventure, horror and crime Below negative observations, might be because of over hypes: The forest fights and scenes reminds me of pushpa. And the festival reminds me of “shuzhal”… I was expecting more on how this festival interwoven with the presentation, but it was just used as another property The climax looks more cinematic compared to the previous blocks, bit disappointed with cliche climax fight. Great making, still wants to have more…

DialR4Review RATED 8/10

The best part of the series is the festival and how they captured it so colourful and in grand manner. The characters are bit interesting and very raw in the first episode. After that the characters becomes like cliche. Each episode reveals one knot and each character name is cleared. Some twists are really entertaining to watch. We can predict most of the episode ending still the screenplay and writing makes it watch without forward. Aishwarya character and the climax revelations are so cinematic and not giving the punching finishing touch. The last episode was big thud because of Aishwarya character and highly predictability. With all these predictability, it is treat to watch because of thrill factors in the writing and the festival.

Luckiest Girl Alive

Movie: Luckiest Girl Alive

DialR4Review RATED 7/10

The non linear flashback worked well for this movie. But it lacks the punch and it constantly reminds me of the movie "promising young woman" even after complete the movie. Mila Quins and the younger girl acting was quite good and the climax transformation is really awesonme. It shows more of the pain than the transformation. May be the victim family background/situation is not much explained or I didn't understand it. They took two sensitive and ongoing issues and blended it with single victim. It looks little bit overdone for me. Still it is worth the watch.

DialR4Review RATED 8/10

Good sequel still there is no connection between the first part in story wise. They just reused the characters and made one good fictional action drama. The swag of Detective Ma worked very well and the action blocks in the regular intervals holds the audience attention. The Climax kidnapping sequence and Combat gives the full punch. The story and presentation is not new is still old wine in new bottle. The seriousness and comic is blended well in this crime action drama. Good action masala to enjoy in the weekend with full tub of popcorn.

DialR4Review RATED 7/10

The movie is decent thriller with its own flaws. The best part of the movie is it is not boring at any moment and no speed breakers in the name of sentiment and romance. The negative point is that the pain and situation of hero is not conveyed to the audience, may be because of lack of character development. Another problem in the story is that the morality of each character is changing on each sequence. The romance and refugee backdrop is just used for logic in the screenplay. With all these flaws it has some witty moments with Ilayaraja (Muthaiya).

DialR4Review RATED 8/10

I start to watch Bond movies from Golden Eye and it is really awesome for me to know about the history of bond. The origin of the bond theme and everyone's involvement from the beginning to end is analysed in detail. The documentary has some really classic footages and it is really great to know about the history. It brings back the nostalgia of school and college days with the improvements and variations of theme over the period. This is really awesome to watch in 5.1 surround sound in big screen. At the same time the documentary feeling is unavoidable and bit slow in the middle.

DialR4Review RATED 8/10

First of all, this is horror movie for kids at the same time it is not childish. Watchable for adults and recommended for kids. The cast is good and story is OK. The CG work is adequate for the movie. The story is bit templated and predictable but it was overcome by the entertaining screenplay. There is no dull moment and I really loved the skeleton fight sequence. There is no scary sequences and beware of the arachnophobia. Best movie to enjoy with family in weekend.

DialR4Review RATED 6/10

This movie is so flat. There is no twist and turns and no excitement is screenplay also. Another biggest problem is it is highly predictable. After watching the series, this movie looks so damp and didn't satisfy the level of series. Just got the satisfying end for Jesse, that's all. And Professor cameo also not clicked well and it just helped to fill the length of the movie. Looks like the great opportunity as movie is really wasted. Started with some great expectations and its not even satisficed the half of it.

DialR4Review RATED 9/10

This is well played game. The protagonist transformation and the situations are really awesome. Some cooked decisions are mind blowing one. The best one is "this is not Meth". Really enjoyed and wanted more on the last season... They balanced the thrill and family sentiment perfectly... The negative side is that some episodes really tested the patience like "the fly", even though they gave the reason. Also the the family sentiment and husband and wife moral contradiction was too much and repeated towards the end of the series... I liked the ending and still haunting.

DialR4Review RATED 7/10

After long time seen Antonio in the lead role. The story is run of the mill one, but they presented in interesting way. The movie was so engaging till the mystery and the reason for the kill is revealed. After that it becomes dragged and the climax is OK. The initial investigation scenes and the way they revealing the crime layers was good. The action blocks are quite decent. The side characters like Nurse, homeless man are used properly. One time watchable action masala entertainer.

DialR4Review RATED 6/10

I was expecting some good revenge action flick with immortal fights. This movie has more on sword and less on vengeance... The story is good and the sentiments and Vengeance are there, but the as overall picture it is so lengthy with repeated sword fights without much on action choreography.... the fights looks repetitive, the stuntmen are always huge and too many hand cuts. There is no interest in the fights, its just clinking of swords. The starting is great, once the vengeance sequence starts it lost its touch and scatter too much with more side stories and characters. Bit disappointed.

I enjoyed this movie from the beginning to end. I would have recommend it to everyone, if they explained the reason behind that mysterious guy more clearly. I really enjoyed the theme and the movie flow. The casting was bit odd in the beginning and get used to it when the movie ends, not bad. Don't expect too much, just go with the movie flow, it will be a simple and fatale story and hoot you till the end. Not much twists and turns but the mystery was carried till the end with some good conclusions... Worth the time spent.

DialR4Review RATED 7/10

The title itself says its more on fun notes than the horror. And it lives to the title till end. I wish if it has more fun or spoof moments, it would be more enjoyable one. The premises and horror are run of the mill, they mixed it and make it watchable one. It is not so funny and also not so scary. The beginning was good and get into the story in short time. They added more friends sentiments towards end and looks bit dragged before climax. I was expecting more on exorcism, but not much on that. It is not boring at the same time it is not fulfilled one also. One time watchable.

Quite surprising in all aspects. The cast, production values and CG work, everything is adequate for the story. Its quite difficult to understand the biology in the beginning and the garden sequences, but as a story flow the movie holds the viewers attention till the end. The story and character development are done very nice way from the beginning of the movie. And cleverly avoided the Citadel politics much. Felt bit dragged in the middle and bit predictable in the end. The villains were killed simply by the kid. But it is definitely interesting movie to watch with minor flaws.

The acting is good and the story is decent. There very few events/scenes catch your attention. Others are mostly predictable and looks stretched. The hunting and story twists are excellent, but all other elements in the movie are either over done or completely neglected. For this story they did good justification as a movie but still wants more and its not fulfill as complete entertainer.

I liked this unique adventure movie. It is so good in all aspects and genre. It has quite good amount of comedy, sentiments and drama. The movie begin with some great atmosphere and the sentiment start to grow from the beginning. I was expecting something sinister by seeing the locations and characters, but the movie flow completely takes into the different direction and it was quite enjoyable journey. The manhunt is quite funny and the self realisation through the adventure are quite good. The climax is more cliche and cinematic, but its not stop recommending this one.

I stopped watching after 10 minutes of the movie, looks like boring one. Started watch again and it really hooked me till the end. As an outsider, understood/learn lot about Texas and really want to try once in Whataburger. The movie pace really picked after after the first twenty minutes. The music factory and Ashton's dialogs are simply superb. The self realisation and the climax sequences are bit cinematic but enjoyable to watch. The movie has multiple conclusions in the last 3o minutes and I loved each one of them. And each one is better than the previous one.

The first appreciable thing in the movie is that there is less gore and violence. I liked the story and the presentation was pretty neat with some good cast. The climax is bot overdone and its so cinematic, otherwise the movie was so natural. The atmosphere and killing children chase are quite original. One time watchable.

The movie has a great start. The mushroom universe and Jim Carry's new look and his life are superb. It is really makes the promising second part start. After that Knuckles intro and their joint quest to Sonic also fine. The movie starts to dig into its own grave when the wedding sequences and further cliche action blocks starts. The climax giant GFX work is great, other than that we are missing Jim Carrys unique villainism and adventure. It looks like total misfire with some pathetic family reunion dialogs and sentiments. Definitely kids will love this movie.

The movie is quite good thriller than the horror one. They really hold the attention of the viewers till they reveal the secret. The way they reveal the mystery is really appreciable thing, without explicitly telling, they made in the flow of the characters conversation. Its fantastic. Another good thing is the climax. I didn't expect this climax. Kudos. The kids were amazing and did their part very well. With all this thing, the movie lacks something. May be the simplicity and the unnecessary mother's dance sequences spoils the flow. One time watchable.

This real solid Japanese gangster Family drama. It has more drama than the action. The movie has solid cast and fantastic acting. This really helps the standard of the movie. I felt the movie making was looks like Indian Gangster cinema. Some scenes resembles me the "Vada Chennai" movie. I liked it very much. The movie is not unique and it has its own flaws like lack of originality. There is not much action sequences, but the gangster rivalry and the conclusion for the "outsider" is quite catchy. The open ended climax is so opt for this movie, even though it is bit slow i the middle.

The movie story reminds me of Stephen King's "Carrie". The innocence and Horror mixed in the name of hatching. The casting and acting was good. The writing was pretty decent and presented very well. The biggest problem of movie is the predictability. We can predict the each and every scene and it fails to scare the audience. Also I dont understand the the social media life presentation and relation to the story. The climax switch is good and the last word from the creature is ultimate. I really appreciate the climax both other scenes leads to climax were highly predictable.

The movie starting was good and kept interesting till one point. After the demi god explanation is done it looks like stretched with too much gore. The story and pace is bit weird and it is not my cup of tea. And the cast makes it bit worse the situation. There is no entertainment factor and I have to read web pages to read the interpretation of the climax. After reading those explanations, I could feel the disjointed flow. It is not bad and at the same time the memory scenes are bit repetitive. The single cast without interesting dialogs leads to boring moments towards end.
