Vaazha 2

Vaazha 2

2026 · MovieTalkies

Vaazha 2 is a solid, worthy sequel that goes much deeper than the first film, touching on relatable subjects like drugs, romance, brotherhood, and the lifelong struggle for survival in the simplest way possible without losing its humour or charm. As a debutant, director Savin SA exceeds expectations and impresses to a level where you can't help but take your hat off to him, delivering a mix of nostalgia, emotions, tragedy, drama, and maturity that reflects the eternal truth of life—struggle.

Mirzapur: The Movie

Mirzapur: The Movie

2026 · MovieTalkies

Mirzapur is flawed because making an OTT or TV series and creating a proper theatrical experience are two completely different things. Gurmmeet Singh seems to lack the theatrical understanding required to shape a film specifically for the big screen. Despite several issues, the film has decent watch value for its loyal fans; rather, I'd say it has been made only and only for them.

Mahakavya Shri Ramayan Katha – Shri Ram Ki

Mahakavya Shri Ramayan Katha – Shri Ram Ki

2026 · MovieTalkies

Overall, Mahakavya Shri Ramayan Katha is a worthless attempt at bringing the legendary epic to the big screen. The makers may have remained faithful to the story, but their unimaginative visualization, weak execution and lack of cinematic ambition make this a thoroughly disappointing experience.
