Mark Antony

Movie: Mark Antony
Language: Tamil
Media Partner: Amazon Prime

DialR4Review RATED 6/10

Director thought, if you put old hits as background you can do any illogical and madness in the screen. Silk scene sequence also similar to that one. SJ Surya is ultimate in this venture and he saved the whole movie single handedly. Whenever he appears in the screen, it was like fire cracker. All other scenes are so dud and sometimes not bearable too. The story is OK, the fantasy angle helped lot in movie flow and comic angle. Vishal with that beard and wig, it is total unfit. Especially his climax mannerisms are irritating to the core. My advice would be, wait for OTT release, so that you will have control in your hand to forward and skip as much as possible.

DialR4Review RATED 9/10

They used the elements in quite entertaining way and weaved the interesting story. I rewatched multiple times the first 10 minutes to grasp all elements and and their roles in the city. All the elements are used and characterised in a brilliant way. The best part is that this is much entertainer for all ages. There was quite amount of fun and sentiments scattered in all over the places. The screenplay and pace of story was quite engaging. The colourful animation and interesting characterisation of elements will glue your attention to the screen from the beginning to end. Must watch movie with family and perfect choice for weened movie time.

Baby

DialR4Review RATED 8/10

Even though the story and ending is bit depressing one, the characterisation, cast and screenplay make you sit tight throughout this presentation. I liked the authenticity of characters and skillful entertaining presentation. Definitely this will not be everyone's cup of tea. Either you love this one or just hate it. The step by step transformation of Vaishnavi is the real core and it was conveyed completely. The presentation was so natural till the climax, the climax portion was bit abrupt and aimed to add more depression note. Lot of characters are hanging without any conclusion but the movie ended.

Aanantham

DialR4Review RATED 9/10

This one is like Anthology stories which has connecting knots across each and every episodes. Each episodes have separate story at the same time they have the connecting line from the beginning to end. The connecting line is so brilliant and sometimes make you feel wow. Felt some stories ended abruptly without apt ending, but they justified all stories ending in the last episode. It has some melodrama tone, but they never over done it with cliche moments, that is the best part of this series. The cast is perfect and they take you into the story completely. Worth the watch.

Oka Chinna Family Story

Movie: Oka Chinna Family Story
Language: Tamil/Telugu
Media Partner: Zee5

DialR4Review RATED 8/10

This is good time pass serial and also can be watched with family. Watched the Tamil dubber version, still it holds the attention. The first episode was bit templated one and starts with routine characters. Then it starts to pick up quickly after that. Except that 25Lakhs loan mystery, all other things are seen in other movies. But they maintained the good pace of story telling on each episode. Especially the ending and and finishing episodes are fun to watch. Dont check for logic, this is just a average family entertainer with some feel good ending.

Marry My Dead Body

Language: Chinese
Media Partner: Nil

DialR4Review RATED 4/10

The story was bit interesting same like title. But it has no other interesting scenes in the whole length. Felt bored and even irritated in lot of scenes. We had seen these family sentiments and valuing father strictness after dead. None of the scenes looks original, all are seen in multiple times in lot other movies. For me the Gay concept also not handled in matured way. All the sentiments look like forcefully inserted. From the beginning to end not even single scene holds my attention. It was like sitting on boring lecture hall. Just skip this on

Heart of Stone

DialR4Review RATED 8/10

If you want to watch mindless action movie and don't want to check on cast/acting, then this is the perfect one. It is popcorn entertainer to spend the perfect way of your weekend movie time. If you are looking for good story and great acting, please skip this one. It has nothing of that sort, but it has very good action flow throughout the movie. Alia Bhatt role was looks like meaty in the beginning, but later she become doll in the flow. After MI, this also fights against the computer/AI, so dont expect too much from villain. They used some interesting navigation and cloud fighting, it was bit interesting to watch with real good sound effects in big screen.

Padmini

DialR4Review RATED 6/10

The beginning was ultimate and it was ROFL. But they failed miserably to carry that one till the end. The movie was too simple and waiting for some banging moment till the end. But ended with that simplicity in the end also. There are some good funny and feel good moments in this movie. But that is not enough to carry the movie for 2 hours. Finally felt it was dragged. The characters are bit interesting and the story also. There is a big lag in the middle portion. The movie starts to sparkle when Vincy starts appear in the end portion, but that also not satisfying. This is one time decent watch.

DialR4Review RATED 3/10

Just to kill the time, started to watch this movie. It failed that expectation also. Its totally unbearable movie watch and so amateur. It is clearly visible that they tried to make women centric revenge thriller with some twists in the climax. Total failure on everything, including the cast. Sunaina was irritating and the climax mass pose is top notch. It has no substance just a revenge story, thats all... if you want to watch a movie and want to troll with your friends while watching, then this is the perfect one. Gather your friends and you will have complete TROLL enjoyment till the very end.

DialR4Review RATED 8/10

The first two episodes sets the base for the movie and highly predictable each and every scene. Bear these one, then it started its pace and content with further episodes. The content and the dialogs are the best part of this series. And the director stick to that one till the very end of the series. The cast and acting was perfect. The dialogs are so hard hitting and some scenes are very bold and straight to the point. Highly recommended...

DialR4Review RATED 6/10

If you watched the trailer, I would recommend to stop it there itself. No need to sit through the full length of this movie. There is nothing more exiting than in the trailer. I really liked the concept and get bit high hope as it is the adaptation from animation. It was quite good in the beginning, later it becomes highly predictable and not much exiting moments in the story. But there are some interesting zombie fights here and there, but just for these small excitements, we can not sit through this movie fully. It lacks good screenplay and content. When the wishes become silly and simple, you lost the interest on the flow.

Hidden Strike

DialR4Review RATED 6/10

With the expectation of 80's action entertainer from Jackie Chan, started to watch this movie... its not up to the mark. It has routine action choreography not much charm and tickling of Jackie touch in it, Finally it ended up another action movie, that's all... The after credits also looks more artificial and staged. Looks like they try to create the old magic like in "Project A" and succeeded only 25% of that one. The very last fight has some shades of old Jackie, thats all...Give a try, if you don't have anything to watch, other wise it can be easily skippable.
