Based on the end scenes of what happens to the watch, Vikram kumar is clearly keeping the doors open for spinning the yarn for the second part of 24. The director deserves a pat for drafting a ‘Nolanesque’ script while keeping the narrative simple and logical within the confines of this concept. This brilliant contraption of a film is a must watch for its deft making and exceptional performances of Suriya.

A neat remake of an engaging court drama, Manithan is a job well done from its makers.

Pugazh plays out flatly for the most part. For a film that is supposed to be packed with a certain tension it lacks the fizz.

An average masala churned from an interesting knot, this Pichaikkaran is neither too poor to beg nor too rich to offer.

Sometimes a meal is so hot that you tend to gulp it down even if it is not exactly delicious. This is what saves Kanithan. It is so fast most of the times that some glaring loopholes and deja vu feel does not hurt the film as it would have had it slowed down anytime.

A masala cop flick where the masala is kept at an optimum level. And the best part is that it hardly reminds you of any other film that had its hero don the khakee.

A zombie flick that is right on the money and true to its genre. Well done team Miruthan!!!

A pleasing remake that manages to recreate the essence of the original. A good ride if you haven’t watched the original and a decent revisit if otherwise.

A section of the audience will find Bala’s Tharai Thappattai disturbingly repulsive and the rest will find pleasure out of soaking in miseries that Bala unleashes on well-prepared audience. If you identify yourself in the latter category, it is a movie aimed at you. For others in the former category, it will ruin your Pongal festive spirits.

Gethu tries to project itself as a cool and stylish action thriller. It ends up as a delicious looking meal that actually tastes bland.
