Salaar

Movie: Salaar
Language: Telugu
Media Partner: Netflix

DialR4Review RATED 8/10

Lot of goosebump moments, fantastic action choreography and lot of buildup elevations....The director knows how to use the full potential of heroism with the flavour of sentiment. Negatives: there are plenty of fights and nothing else. Too much of blood and gravity defying actions... and the story is wafer thin and highly predictable, except the climax twist, which leads to the second part. Positives: Each action sequence has one good background story and it elevates mass moments of the fight. Even the initial kid action block and dialogs gives goosebumps.... Worth the watch with good crowd of fans....

DialR4Review RATED 9/10

This is solid thriller movie with good awareness message to all parents. The mobile and its impact shown in the movie are hard hitting. Sidharth did a great job as actor and producer to this movie. The kid is awesome, the naughty, victim and recovered angelic faces are ultimate. Kudos to the child artist. The serial killing, child abuse and hard hitting investigation are written brilliantly and presented as a top notch thriller movie. Sidharth was ultimate when he was blamed for the first time and little bit of overdosed acting on revenge stage. Nimisha looks like waster till the end, but her story makes the huge impact to the drama and shows the men view on all these issues... Good cinema and solid drama...

DialR4Review RATED 8/10

A compelling survival drama indeed. Initially expecting a low-budget production with a few highlights based on the synopsis, I was pleasantly surprised by its outstanding execution and script. Despite the confined setting, the film captivated with its engaging narrative and clever rationale, albeit seemingly miraculous. It maintained a strong hold on the audience's attention from start to finish, concluding with a satisfying climax. The screenplay adeptly handled both the refugee and survival elements at sea, relying less on dialogue and more on conveying the intense struggles of survival and the plight of refugees. This movie is definitely worth watching.

DialR4Review RATED 7/10

This is typical revenge story of a hitman and the remaining's of old life with some twisted characters and nice action blocks. I cant like this movie fully because of the templated and predictable story line. But the climax and ending of each character gives the satisfaction to the movie watching. The character development and their decision are quite interestingly helped for this revenge drama. The crisp running time helps much for the pace of screenplay. The father daughter duo actors done very well and acting was very good. One time watchable.

DialR4Review RATED 6/10

This is not even close to the earlier ventures of the director. The scare moments are very few and failed miserably as horror movie. The acting and story was good, but it has lot of outdated scenes and shadows from earlier NUN horror flicks. Felt bore after some point and only good point is that the climax moments and lead to veronica. I was expecting more and it satisfied only half to the expectations. The acting and making was good. When it ends with reason as revenge flavour, i disappointed. It is not bad but not upto the expectation. Give a try with low expectations.

DialR4Review RATED 8/10

This is pakka mixture of solid drama with superb action sequences. Lot of moments resembles to "Dheeran athigaaram ondru" movie. But Mammootty with his swag, outshined the shadows of Dheeran. The first 30 mins has more of investigation and it holds the viewers attention fully. Then next one hour is more of drama and travel and failed to hold the viewers as much. The last one hour is chase which is good. The village fight sequence was top notch and like Mammotty very much on this one and last phone conversation. Must watch for all cinema lovers.

DialR4Review RATED 7/10

As a movie it is below average but I cant rate it low just because the topic they took to discuss with backdrop of God. That boldness and some solid message make me rate on higher side. This is definitely should not be rated as A, it should be PG or UA. Highly recommended to watch as parent-kid. The God factor and helping with hints are Ok, but the court arguments are very outdated. The ultimate backbone is supposed to be the court arguments, but it is not as satisfactory. Most of the court scenes are just one sided argument without much logic. One time watchable.

DialR4Review RATED 6/10

The movie is solid drama and delivers the much needed social message. Lot of good dialogs and all characters done their job very well. As usual Cheran's over acting helped some time and irritates most of the time. The second half sequences are more or less like masala movie, not authentic one. It failed to show the confronts, instead it shows the revenge feeling only. The court scenes are not even close to serial drama. The arguments and Judge comments are like two friends arguing about the social issue in social media. If they put more logic to the court scenes, it would have more solid one.

The movie is very much templated in any sci-fi human experiment movie. The templated characters and story is saved by the twist and good action blocks in the second half. The lead to the second part is quite catchy. This is entertaining and no boring moments, but it gives the feeling that I am watching a movie which I had already watched. Go with low expectations and don't look for originality, then you can enjoy this action flick once. If you don't have any other movie to watch, then sit through this, else skip this one, you are not loosing anything.

DialR4Review RATED 5/10

The first failure of this movie is the cast and immediate second one is witting. This is not even close to the directors earlier movie, very half backed one. Premji's real life character is aptly fit for the lead role but his acting skills killed the movie. Other than police and Judge all other characters are total mis cast and the ladies are with full glossy makeup in pakka village backdrop. This adds the feel of serial drama. There are very few funny/good moments, but we cant sit throughout the movie just for these few good moments.

Tailer made for kids and it clicked very well. Felt lengthy as a adult. First 10 minutes was bit boring and after that it picked up and goes on all right path. The movie is more on positive side and it makes more recommended for kids. Lot of advices to kids without much of preachy tone. The emotional moments and dialogs are quite good. At the same time it was entertaining as a animation. The only negative is that there could be more funny moments... Parents will love this and kids will enjoy this. Highly recommended to watch with kids on the weekend.

DialR4Review RATED 8/10

There are numerous unexpected elements within the film, yet it stays close to its central theme. The unveiling of information greatly engages the audience. I highly recommend watching it with a top-notch sound system for the full experience. The flight scenes, moments in the rain, and the Jenga games are particularly enjoyable with an Atmos sound system. Despite a small cast, limited setting, and extended duration, the continuous series of developments adds to its intrigue. While it may evoke similarities to other apocalypse-themed movies, the quality of the cast and production significantly enhances this film. There are some open questions and logical misstates, but they are not disturbing the whole viewing experience.

The first 10 minutes and last 10 minutes are applause worthy making and acting. In between the movie was good but dragged. The very positive point is that there is no serial type of film making and no lagging moments. Another strength is that the short run time of the movie. This is not perfect, but the acting and short running time overcome all the mistakes in the writings. Don't expect some classic drama, just go with the expectations of the masala drama, you will be surprised. Good time pass movie to watch with family. Highly recommended.

If you are looking for blood thirsting action with mindless characters, then this is the best choice. The story is average and the characters are below average, but the bloody violent makes me to recommend this one. The movie starts with one group of villains and ended with another set of villains. I did not feel any lagging and felt lot of censored moments. Some fight sequences start with half dead on the blood pool. Not sure the action choreography itself like that or it was censored. If you are not having stomach for full fledged gore moments, then definitely this one is not for you. This one is mindless action movie with only violent deaths.

DialR4Review RATED 9/10

A standout Tamil film in recent times, this movie resonates despite its entirely posh and urban setting, as it taps into universal emotions. What truly stands out is the relatability of the story for every couple. Sharabha's performance was exceptional; she truly immersed herself in the character, becoming the backbone of this film. Seeing Shri on screen after a long hiatus was a most welcome return. This film is incredibly sensible while maintaining excellent entertainment value. There isn't a single moment of lag or any hint of preachiness. The writing is brilliantly crafted, ensuring that the audience remains engaged, much like the title suggests. It's a definite must-watch.

DialR4Review RATED 7/10

The film was genuinely shocking, primarily due to its basis on a real-life incident, which heightened the tension throughout. The sequences of scenes had the potential to unfold in various directions, yet they followed a linear path of misfortune, possibly due to the interweaving of multiple real life incidents. At a certain juncture, the accumulation of wrong turns became overwhelming and detracted from the movie's realistic factor. However, the character who emerged in the climax to salvage the situation provided a sense of relief. It's worth watching once to gain awareness of such peculiar situations.

I started to watch with low hopes and it ended as surprisingly good watch. I would recommend the same, lower your expectation, you will get surprised. All the characters are written very well and done decent job. The story was simple and there is no lagging moment. Sometimes the making was bit amateur, but not so bad. This one is the real OTT material. The luck factor was used only in the intro scenes after that nothing. Even the real estate moments are more like filling gaps, and adds more logical holes. Towards end it makes lot of loose ends and SUBAM. One time watchable to kill the time.

I liked this movie and the fun factors with parallel world was real lol. The first travel and realizing the value was so good and entertaining. There are some real surprises in the second half and nice parallel world moments. But that is not keep the viewer to hole their attention till the end. When the fantasy angle was used wisely once, it was fun. When you start to play with that one and add some logic into that, then you will get irritation instead of fun. That is what happens in the second half. Half baked fantasy love story, watchable once.

CAUTION: This is world class movie with as much as depression you can get from one movie The success of this movie is primarily owed to the boy, who deserves full credit. Following closely behind is the director, who crafted the boy's character to be incredibly courageous and compelling. The execution was superb, with each cast member fitting perfectly into their respective roles. Viewing this wasn't akin to watching a film; it felt more like observing a struggling neighbor through your window. This sensation is the film's greatest asset. The boy and his journey are the whole movie. The family, migration, work issues they had shown along with his journey was so awesome. Must watch for all cinema lovers.

The movie is solely watchable because of Arjun Das and his voice. Vasantha Balan is failed make the impact and this is definitely missed chance. The story and characters are fine, but most of the time it got overdosed and the scenes were so over dramatic. With all these flaws, the movie is still watchable because of the main character's hope and his stand on his character. Other than main character, no other character looks original and not stand on their point till the end. Too much of violence and too much of drama killed the movie. One time watchable.
