Bãhubali: The Beginning (2015)
Visual treat
A visual treat.
If a person is bit of into movies, I am sure that person heard about Baahubali couple of years back. It took almost four years to complete the first part. Hero Prabhas had completely dedicated his time to this movie and no movie after his super successful movie Mirchi. Same is true from S. S Rajamouly, after his last non-conventional movie Eega. So obviously there are high expectations 3 years of sheer hard-work of many people who have worked their hearts out for this Visual Wonder has paid off well? Not exactly though, since the answer is simple and straight, you just have to wait for the 'Conclusion' till 2016 and that would decide the fate of this franchise on a whole. The story is paced slowly in the first half giving way and screen space to our Mother Nature's beauty and CGI's magic and one might find it a little too draggy if one considers 'Baahubali' to solely be a hero and since that's not possible, Shivudu has a love life and heroic nature and scenes of his own. Abrupt cuts and unconvincing CGI at certain places in first half are the only flaws with the whole film. Coming to the second half, one is told what he'd expect to be told, as the trailer tells the same. War sequences are really well shot and makes it hard to believe that they were actually made by Indians! One has to just bow down to Srinivas Mohan and his team for excellent CGI and Senthil Kumar for superb visuals. As it turns out, it is everything I expected it to be -- mega, ingenious and envelope pushing. There's never a dull moment in this 160-minutes long epic fantasy about a lost prince, rebellion, revenge, rivalry and a shocking betrayal to seize the throne, Our captain gives us a bang, as his trademark style known as 'Interval Bang' only at the end this time because technically this movies' end is the interval for the 2 parts taken as a whole. Art work in this Epic is just out of the world, kudos to Sabu Cyril sir and thousands of technicians who worked on this aspect. BGM is soothing for the first half which is apt for what we get on screen and the second half war episodes get the best of the lot BGMs to elevate the scenes. Songs are places really well except for 'Manohari' song. Dolby Atmos effect is an added attraction and I highly recommend people to watch this flick in theatres with this specific sound system, it will surely remain as a great experience for you. The sound effects are haunting, pleasing and give you goosebumps at the same time. Anushka had an extended cameo but did perform commendably well, special applause to her expressions. Special mention to Ramya Krishna madame, she was at her best! Katappa will blow your mind with his characteristics and Sathya Raj Sir does 100% justice to it. Though Prabhas and Rana Daggubati did well only their attitude in their respective roles stands out as the best because more of them is yet to come in the sequel. All you need to do is to watch the movie as it comes because expectations lead to disappointment. If you miss this movie, you've just lost a once in life-time 'Indian' movie experience on a big screen,
Please do not add this movie into South Indian movie list. It is an Indian movie that stands on the top of the list. According to the story line everybody did their job well. I have to appreciate Rajamouli for his daring and dashing guts for doing a project like this one. He has set a new trend by directing this movie!
Bãhubali 2: The Conclusion (2017)
Pure classic
Baahubali - A Pure Classic that can be Enjoyed Again and Again!
Okay, how is this possible?... After the release of "Baahubali 2", it was trending in social networking site...Before it's release, everybody was trying to figure out why did Katappa kill Baahubali?... People were assuming in their own way...Lots of people became fan of Prabhas, Ramya Krishnan and Rana Daggubati after watching the part 1...They were thinking what will be the story of part 2?... How Anushka Shetty will look as younger Devasena?... Most of the non-Indians like me who did not watch South Indian Films before, were thinking will the pairing of Prabhas and Anushka look odd?... Because Anushka played the character of Mahendra's mother in part 1 and she will romance with Baahubali in part 2...And we all know both Baahubali and Mahendra's characters are portrayed by Prabhas...But I was so wrong...'PraNushka' is the best pair of Indian film currently...In 90's & zero decade I had lots of favorite pairs, as SRK used to look good with every actresses such as - Madhuri, Preity, Kajol, Rani, Sushmita, Aishwarya, Karishma, Juhi, Twinkle, Mahima...I just love SRK's pairing with these actresses so much...But unfortunately that Bollywood no longer exists now...After watching Baahubali, I became a fan of South Indian films...That's why I have started watching Telugu, Malayalam, Tamil and Kannada films...After watching a lot of South Indian films, still PraNushka is my most favorite on screen couple...They looked good in "Billa" and" Mirchi" as well...I also love the pairing of Prabhas with Tapshee, Kajal, Tamannaah, Asin and Trisha...But among them Prabhas and Anushka are magical...In addition to, I personally think South Indian film industries are making best movies currently...I used to watch Hindi and Indian Bengali films...But these two industries are not doing well currently...As I have become a fan of South Indian films after watching Baahubali, it's like the first love to me...That's why I can't stand anything against Baahubali and Baahubali 2...I came to read the reviews and I was kind of shocked!... Why so much of hatred?... The story is very good and the direction is outstanding...S. S. Rajamouli did a brilliant job...Till now I will say these two parts of Baahubali are his best movies...Lots of iconic characters are there such as - Amarendra Baahubali, Devasena, Bhalladeva, Shivagami, Katappa etc...In part 1, I love most the war and action sequences, and in Part 2, the love story of Devasena and Baahubali is the best...I don't know which one I love most about these two movies - the story, direction, cast, songs, background music, characters, dialogues - each and everything is too good...How can people hate these two movies?... I think people who wrote negative reviews are totally jealous...They don't have any other reason to hate these movies...'Baahubali' is a masterpiece which can be enjoyed again and again...It is a pure classic...We want this type of movies which can satisfy both our eyes and souls.

Bangalore Days (2014)
Touching movie
Mind blowing. No doubt it's a romantic drama with happy ending. But picturization is different from typical sub continent or Indian film. In this film you must watch characters along with their expression. A lot of stories are hidden in their expression, laugh, anger. Though I'm a big fan of DQ, I must say that every character has got equal importance in this film. Specially Shiva is the best character here. DQ is outstanding as always. Director, Script writer must get a big applause. A must watch movie and ensure that you will not be disappoint.
Malik (2021)
Amazing movie
Malik is a Malayalam-language political crime-thriller film about a young man who rises to prominence through his unswerving fight against political and police corruption in his village.
Another Fahadh Faasil masterclass performances who shines through this superbly directed and written film.
It is an epic crime saga which spans the lifetime of one man, Sulaiman Ali, the revolutionary leader of a coastal village in Kerala. This is a complex story but simply told, with lots of characters who provide able support to Faasil. AMongst all of them Vinay Forrt and Nimisha Sajayan are definitely praiseworthy.
It's a political drama that doubles up as a gangster saga. You need to take a call which one you pick between these two.
All said and done, this one is amongst the best film of 2021 so far and is 100% recommended.
My rating 4.5/5.
Trance (2020)
Must watch
TRANCE (Malayalam)
"Why didn't someone ever think of this as a movie theme" ???! This was exactly what came to my mind when I started understanding the plot behind Anwar Rasheed's psychological thriller TRANCE !! I really don't know if this theme has been featured in Indian cinema earlier.. but im sure it hasn't been portrayed as perfect & gripping as it has in this project. Mentioning even a small hint about the theme of the movie will only spoil the fun and hence I'll keep it open for you to witness this religious & political thriller. Cheers to Fahadh Faasil who plays the lead role and mersmerises the audience.. both in the movie and those watching it !! The background score is well organized and keeps you engaged as it tactfully blends with the screenplay and direction. The entire Cast has done a good job by delivering their probable best. However, as we alll know ... or atleast as we've all been made to realize .. Nothing is perfect !! Yup !! As we move towards the second half and as the plot gets into your blood, the gush disappointingly slows down and drags you through a few unnecessary sequences that could have been pictured better to have made the movie a flawless and unique venture. The movie is enjoyable if watched as pure entertainment and not as a religious & provocative drama. Definitely a must watch !!
Thanneer Mathan Dhinangal (2019)
Teenager movie
This was happens to be one of the most beautiful teenage rom-com from malayalam family gifted to everyone. Its been an year Im waiting for this film subtitles and was suprisingly found today, though subtitles are little flawed I still managed to understand the complete heart of the film.
From the beginning frame itself, It made me went back to my nostalgic school days, its memories, friends, crush's, love, everything was hit like a flashlight in my head. So loved tht each event in the film was so much fun to watch, never boring. Even you could easily be watch it with family bcoz there isn't a scene about sexual adult stuff, so classy nd happy film. Its starts with school going boy who falls in love with his classmate keerthi. The moment she rejected his proposal nd a new teacher joined nd disturbs him, his life starts going with circle of confusions nd devastating until she falls in love with him.
What's most endearing thing about the movie is the lead actors - both teenagers themselves. Mathew Joseph and Anaswara Rajan were cute, sweet nd adorable to watch. In the ending their performances're sheer brilliance, the way they pulled it was my eyes were opened wide. My smile was constantly shining with every scene passing in the film. I hope both'll be meet a great future in their industries.
The cinematography and music was like cool rain and rainbow. No matter what, I precisely want this kinda complete teenage romcom stuff. I heartfully feel this film nd will be with me within my heart.
Minnal Murali (2021)
Adipoli cinema
This is the homegrown superhero of india. Story line keeps oneself at the edge of the seat, with some amazing action which is exceptional for a not so high budget movie. Like all Malayalam cinema movies that are known for their content, this movie stays true to that and has an amazing script. Minnal murali is relatable, he connects with you. Plot of every super hero flick is that he undergoes challenges and humiliation and hurt either emotionally or familial all those aspects were very carefully considered. But what makes this movie exceptional is that it stayed true to its connections with people and it showed a gradual transformation of chubby flamboyant Jaison to minnal murali- thanks to the child actor who played nephew of jaison in the movie who was the one who cheered the loudest for him. The antagonist played by actor gurusomasundaram was simply outstanding and it was not easy for the superhero to fight him as both were struck by the same lightening so I'm excited to see further how the story line would evolve now considering the first part is done. Actor Tovino has proved yet again that he is someone who is here to carve his niche!! I'm excited to see where does minnal murali go after this and I am eager to see him in the near future collaborating with either Marvel or DC comics ! DC comics would be ideal but marvel is also exciting. Well done to the team of Minnal Murali. As a malayali I'm proud to see our movies going around the globe and becoming popular... adipoli cinema.
Idukki Gold (2013)
Cult classic movie
This movie released in 2013 has already become a cult classic of mollywood. A must watch movie about friendship, and coming of age comedy. Although sloppy at some point the movie is worth seeing multiple times. It tells the story of 4 friends revisiting their old school Nd memories left behind. As the story devoleps we will embark on a journey with them towards their past memories. With great cinematography and music to back up and great performance by cast this movie is a must see for all languages.
Bheeshmaparvam (2022)
No one can beat mammotty
Actually I don't know how to express what I witnessed now because without any doubt i can say this is a visual treat from Amal and team. Film is more than from my expectations , cuase from the beginning to the end nothing distracted me. I got perfect satisfaction of an "Amal Neerad film". I can't just say each of the characters played well because they played something more. Sushin's effort for this film should be appreciated, without that background score it won't be conveyed. Entry for each character from Mammooka to shane made goosebumps. Especially i need to mention Soubin's character and how deeply he performed , he gave his best of the best . Actually I want to mention each character because each one of them was lit. I cannot understand how a director could make such a film .Each and every person in this film needed a great applause for what they have done. Without doubt i will say this is an "AMAL NEERAD FILM" . Again he proved Amal's films are not just film's they are a REVOLUTIONS. Iam sure that BEESHMA will remain there in the hearts of people just like BIGB remains even now. We just need to explore what he just created for us.
Gully Boy (2019)
Woaahhh. Totally amazing
Ars ago
Most people have already watched this movie,but to those who haven't,DON'T MISS IT !!
Zoya Akhtar completely does justice to her reputation as a director once again,by delivering a phenomenal movie !
Never had I imagined that Indian Hip-Hop could be so beautifully potrayed in an underdog movie which is though predictable,yet heart-touching and at the same time immensely motivating and energetic !
A simple yet nicely written script,accompanied by some strong,impactful performances and the "Zoya touch" creates something really magical here !
Ranveer and Alia are terrific,their chemistry with just about the adequate fizz,does work really well and special praises to Siddhant Chaturvedi (aka MC Sher) who really roares throughout the film (another hidden talent unearthed I would say).
The screenplay is so well-knit,engrossing and at the same time,makes you feel every bit of the emotion the characters,specially the protagionist,is going through !
The sprinkles of the beautiful poetry(Zoya trademark) interspersed at times with the electrifying and addictive music, with meaningful & applause-worthy rap lyrics, completely wraps this movie with an emotion of it's own.
It surely was a bit long but I was willing to watch it for another 1 hour easily ! Yes,that's how much I connected to the Gully Boy !
Such movies really lift up the standards of our very own Bollywood and I feel so happy that this kind of cinema is really working here ! #ApnaTimeAayega
"Kehne ko hum pass hai par
kitni doori hai
Yeh bhi kaisi mazboori hai
Tumse humdardi bhi
nahi kar sakta main
Mere bas ki baat nahi hai
Main yeh bahte aansu pochun
Utni meri aukaat nahi hai
Main bhi yahin hoon
tum bhi yahin ho
Par sach ye hai
Main hoon kahin
tum aur kahin
Kehne ko hum pass hai par
kitni doori hai
Ye bhi kaisi mazboori hai "
Such beautiful lines !!
Way to go Zoya ! Love you for this one !! #HatsOff #ExtremeRespect
Rating ~ 5/5.
Gangubai Kathiawadi (2022)
Amazing performance done by Alia bhatt
Gangubai Kathiawadi i am sure i cant tell everything i loved about this film because i loved every second. Wow what a peice of art this is how can this man keep making classics without any distractions i think this is my most of sanjay leela bhansali. I can never imagine how come her picturised alia to play gangubai how did he even see it no one before seeing the film would have felt right but after watching you can never even have a glance of anyother leading lady here. Wow Alia is something else i knew she is a beautiful performer but here she has just gobsmacked everyone with her performance i dint expect this much from alia and now i am left speechless every frame is aesthetic with its own beauty and she just lives as gangubai the only wish i had was even gangubai was alive she would have felt the best because sanjay and alia just homaged every scene for her being a sensitive topic to handle sanjay leaves us with a heavy heart about what kamathipuram is. Starting from the entry shot of alia i think this is the best heroin entry of indian cinema she has closeups before revealing the face which is always a hero material after this built up alia appers in front of us and slowly makes us forget the alia she is and makes us belive she is gangubai. I had some best moments in the film where alia goes on a drive in her car with a young adult and the way it was filmed and re reocorded with a beautiful number was just stunning alia express every emotion there with so much ease she shows the uncertainity with just her eyes she wants to be a girl girl thing but life has not treated her well for being a male admirer this is the emotion and everyone i bet everyone watching can feel what she feels And a beautiful scene which has a commercial mix but stunning is when alia takes a bunch of children from brothel to a school to admit them and a dailouge she leaves at the end is the most sensible dialouge of the film. My most fav among the fav is the phone conversion between gangu and her mother and the 30 second element in the screenplay will just break your heart. Ok i dont wanna spoil for people who are reading before the watch. All i can say is unfortunately alia will have a very busy schedule for award functions being a newly married she has to plan i am sure she deserves every single award which is given in cinema for a female yes she was everythjng and represented every women and thier pain. A film which gave a emotional attachement for a brothel and i am now left with a huge huge respect for the actual "GANGUBAI". To end everycinema fan needs to thank sanjay leela bhansali for giving us this platter of a film which had every emotion with top notch perfection and the only revert i have now is i missed this is theaters but ya people who did a mistake by skipping theaters no issue we can console ourself by watching this gem now streaming in netflix.
Dhadak (2018)
A good movie to watch
The first time I set my eyes on jahnvi and Ishaan as an on screen couple made me fall in love with their chemistry and character.
This movie is a perfect example of what our south asian community goes through. As both the couples fall in love, due to their family status they had no choice but to run away together happily ever after! However they both have their ups and downs just like any other couple.
Also I loved how they didn't drag it on and got straight to the point with a plot twist towards the end. If you've seen it you know what I'm talking about and for those who haven't I highly recommend you do enjoy x.
Made in Heaven (2019)
Feel like am living in this series
Cant thank enough to Zoya for this beautiful piece of Indian drama. She selected the outnumbered topic from an affair to homosexuality, dowry to old baseless traditions, friendship and love, hurt and betrayal all together and mixed them with feelings. Loved the way story engaged you, you cant wait to see the next one.
Amazing venues to small streets of Delhi, brilliantly showcased.
Great star cast of dil dhadakne do mostly. Either she adore them or she found them really upto the mark.
Kalki, what should i say, amazing you, amazingly done your role.
Jim, I love you man though your counts are 16 Mn only, kidding but I really love Adil you played.
Dear Tara, you are no less than Fellon of Dynasty, but in your own charming Indian way. Beautiful, strong, confident. Love
Shashank & Shivani- well its never cmplt wthout you guys. Kabir, gimme quotes every tym u speak n JAZZ u show the best of a woman's world
Zoya, the character of Karan just touched my heart, the way you showcased his story, I am greatful. Love to have someone like you in the industry to show some love in LGBTQ.
Last but not the least, writer - amazingly showcased the woman of today's world very outspoken and ambitious. Happy.
Jana Gana Mana (2022)
Good movie to watch about Indian situation
Prithviraj's outing for theatrical release after two years! And it won't disappoint you.
The way they handled the real incident (Not really forget about it) in a completely different dimensional with a convincingly great screenplay should be applauded.
Prithviraj stole the show with stunning performance. Suraj did wonders as a cop.
This movie literally showed everything that happens today. Managed to genuinely exploit the grey shade of media and how they misuse such a powerful tool for their own. Exploited politicians and campus monsters who would do anything to propel their image or brand.
Director's admirable ground work on the script should be appreciated for a big time.
Drop whatever you're doing and grab your tickets asap!
It ended up as one of the best cinematic experience for me because each and every one of us could easily able to connect with the subject they took up.
It's another feather on Prithviraj and suraj's cap.
