Paachuvum Albhuthavilakkum

Movie: Paachuvum Albhuthavilakkum
Language: Malayalam
Media Partner: Nil
Source: Amazon Prime
DialR4Review RATED 7/10

The simple scene sequences and simple characters are the best part of this movie... at the same time the characters changes their colour abruptly throughout the movie, this one issue reduces the authenticity of the movie... There are lot of Fahad moments and his presence felt from the beginning to end. With great cast and acting, there is still something missing... There are too many characters and side stories, which makes the main story also like another side story... The kid swamy and grandma are awesome...Fahad did multiple times similar roles... One time watchable...

Kanam

Movie: Kanam
Language: Tamil

DialR4Review RATED 7/10

This is typical mother sentiment movie with time travel masala.... The time travel things and some comedy scenes are worked out well... but the backbone of the movie, mother sentiment is overdosed and dragged the movie to snail pace... Only one chance of time travel restriction in first half becomes joke in the second half... they are jumping like anything.... There are lots and lots of mother sentiment sequences with very long shots... most of the story is predictable.... The only saving grace is the climax...The climax is not routine and try to be bit realistic one.... Mixed bag one... watch it with restricted expectations...

Soppana Sundari

DialR4Review RATED 7/10

The movie starts with some good vibes and the introduction of each character was nice. We can forgive the small small logic holes and enjoy the first half thoroughly. When the problem and situations are simple, the movie was good. When ti get thickens, the movie derailed and went into the masala mode...the rape sequence is worst among all the things in the last twenty minutes.... The problems and reasons in the first half are not at all considered in the second half... the sister marriage, loan issues all are sidelined and comedy and heroine centric situations are taken as core.... One time watchable.... nothing special.

DialR4Review RATED 9/10

The movie is feel good one and it filled with lot of witty ones through out the movie...Especially the last 10 minutes of airport scene is laugh riot.... After a long time get a change to see the TYPICAL bollywood romantic drama...it has the same cliche romantic scenes but still the leading pair make it likeable.... I really loved the kids accent and Dimple's slaps in the movie...The movie is bit lengthy, but it didn't bother when it has the joyful sequences from the beginning to end.... perfect movie to enjoy for the weekend... Bear the kisses and bikinis....

DialR4Review RATED 6/10

This one has all potential to become the successful sequel, but failed because of amateur writing and direction. The story and beggars backdrop are used in entertaining way, but the overdose of sentiment and masala sequences spoiled the fun. There are lot of minus than the plus points. Lot of scenes are repeated throughout the movie as hero remembering the pain moments.... And the dual role is totally unnecessary...On top of this, the climax court sequence and court arguments are pathetic. This is not total crap... but as a whole it is not likable one....

The Mother

Language: English
Media Partner: Netflix

DialR4Review RATED 7/10

First time I am seeing an action entertainer where the mother sentiment is dominated more. JLO managed to deliver the believable character which is ace in both action and sentiment. It was like watching Indian action masaala.... If you dont ask all these logical why questions, you will enjoy this movie. This would be the perfect movie to watch in weekend with family. There is nothing new in this movie, everything is run off the mill, still the crisp writing and stylish making make it watchable.

DialR4Review RATED 8/10

Nick Cage story selection is different and this one is real surprise. The Dracula character brings back the old Villain inside the Cage. Lot of scenes his acting was awesome and it is really glad to see his action in big screen again. The story is simple and the action blocks are picturized with god CG work and enough blood splashes...The length of the movies is another advantage and ended aptly. This is not classic one, just a masala version. Dont expect the history and class. They just used the Dracula backdrop to add more blood in action blocks. I like this version and definitely one time watchable for action lovers.

DialR4Review RATED 7/10

The story and the production values are good. The acting and action blocks are done in good way. The action blocks and sound effects are good. But all these are got spoiled by the predictable screenplay. From the first bomb blasting to the climax air lift, everything is predictable. Except the way they escape, all scenes are very predictable. Another problem is the length of the movie. They could have chopped off atleast 25 minutes of the movie. Lower your expectations, you will like this war drama. Also beware that it reminds me of lot of sequences from "lone survivor"

DialR4Review RATED 8/10

I liked the environment set for this story. The way they fit the original story into this new reboot is awesome. There is no dull moment and enough scary situations to hold your attention throughout the movie. The acting is good and the best part is the dialogs. Most of the dialogs and actions are witty and scary at the same time. I like the way they connected the first and last scene. The bloody climax sequence is awesome and satisfy the hard core "evil dead" fans. Highly recommended to watch in big screen with good sound effect to get the full impact of this movie.

DialR4Review RATED 7/10

First we need to appreciate the director for choose this subject and stick to the authenticity as close as possible. That too with all new faces. It is so impressive. And it worked and gave lot of awe moments throughout the movie.... Now come to negatives - Please lower your expectations. This is not a great entertainer and war sequences are so repetitive. The story is wafer thin and they tried the magic with the ancient touch. The camera work is great and locations are fine. But that also get repetitive more. Lower your expectation, you might like it.

Media Partner: Amazon prime

DialR4Review RATED 8/10

Mani concluded the epic with proper first part and the ending of part one is classic. The second part start was awesome and added some extra flashbacks to add more strength to the core plot. The production values, the presentation and the acting was class. Mani and other writers brilliance were seen in lot of scenes where it was difficult to image while reading the novel. The Killing sequence were captured in nice and simple way. It was bit complicated in novel. Now to the negatives: Looks like more positive shades added to Nandini character than the first part. Kundavai and ArulMozhi chnaracters are bt compromised. Lot of illogical side stories added like the war sequences. The climax, no one will agree on it... I agree if we extend we need one more part to taken, but it looks like disgusting to see the climax....(novel readers can understand, others cant understand this, sorry) Rahuman dubbing is pathetic. By forgetting novel, we can enjoy this movie... Recommended for the effort and output.

Missing

Movie: Missing
Language: English

DialR4Review RATED 8/10

The movie start with quite old fashioned "searching" mode and it flies to its own path afterwards. The twists are added one by one and revealed with quite satisfied logic. The best part is that the screenplay is engaging and entertaining till the end. The end reason is bit unpredictable at the same time very simple and the layers of mystery-search is quite amazing. If you liked "searching" movie, you will definitely love this one. They explored the style with more innovative screen presentations. Highly recommended one for the nice weekend watch.

DialR4Review RATED 8/10

This one is real feel good drama with touching climax. The movie is highly predictable, but who cares when this is quote entertaining. Tom Hanks is so loveable in this character, his face expression and body language is so opt for this character. After long time I quite enjoyed his presence from the beginning to end. The movie is quite fun in the beginning and goes to dragging mode in the middle. After that it picks up with over the top social media scenes and ended with quite satisfied climax. This is real roller coaster ride of drama. Worth the watch.
