Kahaani

Heartening to have every lovely colourful face appearing on screen filled with casual expression abiding the character. Salutes to the director for having touched the nuances which might rarely be recognized. A thriller on the canvas of colourful and jubiliating Bengal. Chord connecting well the backdrop and the plot. Dialogues are its best - not a chance missed. Camera and the cuts gives a constant pace to the mystery that runs deep all through the course except for its "overdoing" in last 5 mins. That might be too much for an audience to flounder on their way back home. May be thats the success this movie demands. Oh well, Vidhya, No worries! You can now decorate the National award in your living room with Pride - Just that you have received it well in advance with a wrong label! - Mar 11, 2012

Haywire

It should be just looked as Soderbergh's experiment in "strong female" films - who desperately switch genres. Far less experienced Carano (if she resembles Sasha Grey - hmmmm so, how was GFE?) stands tall with her real martial arts talent amidst the great male cast - Bandreas, Mich Doughlas, McGregor and Fassbender. Cleanly shot music free stunts, acrobatic fight tricks captured in artful angles, Vintage style Jazz score...while all these set the artistic background but only to a wafer thin, much predictable - keep it simple - plot. It would stay memorable for electifying knucle breaks, eccentric cinematography and Carano's dynamic screen figure. Thanks Soderbergh, at least, it is not Angelina! - Jan 20, 2012

நண்பன்

ஹிந்தியின் ஹிட்டை சரி தவறுகளோடு அச்சு பிசகாமல் தமிழுக்கு தாரை வார்த்து தப்பித்துக் கொண்டார் ஷங்கர்.
அங்கங்கே தனக்கே உரிய டச்சுடன். (Duplicate சாவி உண்மை தெரிய வரும் காட்சியில் சத்யராஜ் இரண்டு ரிமோட்டுடன் இரண்டு டிவி பார்ப்பது). தமிழ் வசனத்தில் extra மெருகு. அமீரின் எனர்ஜி மிஸ்ஸிங் என்றாலும் விஜய் இயல்பாகவே பொருந்துகிறார். சத்யனும் சத்தியராஜும் toppers.Dolly ஷாட்டை தாறு மாறாக பயன்படுத்தியிருக்கிறார்கள் . Why this Dolly வெறி? All is "again" well. - Jan 13, 2012
