Readers Write In #706: Did the ‘rich eat us’ during the pandemic?
By G Waugh It is only recently that I have been hearing a term called ‘Eat the Rich’ in magazines and web portals. Some films made world over in the last one and half decades are often slapped with labels such as these and a few of them have drawn international attention as well- the […]

Readers Write In #705: Kalki 2898 AD: A brave new dawn
Ruminating on the most epic, fascinating Indian mainstream film this year. By Aman Basha The 103 year old Telugu cinema culture is most notable for representing myth through the movies and pulling off spectacles for the ages.

The text review was published on December 6, 2023, after festival screenings. This movie is now in theatres, hence the video review. It’s 2022. Sri […]

Readers Write In #704: Inside Out 2
By Voldemort There’s a reason we watch Disney movies.Two hours of great animation, a simple, heart-warming story of good defeating evil (or convincing evil to change its ways)with rather simplistic solutions to problems,great songs, and a little too on-the-nose messaging about family and love,that nevertheless make you smile. Inside Out 2 is similar,we follow Riley […]

Nag Ashwin’s ‘Kalki 2898 AD’, starring Prabhas, is a major technical achievement but the writing doesn’t match up
Among the huge star cast, Amitabh Bachchan stands out. The sluggish pre-interval portions are somewhat redeemed by an action-packed second half. From his first film, Nag Ashwin has wanted to be different. Yevade Subramanyam, the first Telugu movie shot at the Everest, was about a story you usually don’t find in Telugu movies – and even […]

Readers Write In #703: Wishful ‘Maharaja’
By Latha Rajasekar A complex narration of an average person’s tale, told with conviction, beautifully concurs a parallel story to catch the audience by surprise. Director Nithilan showcases his narrative prowess through the overlapping plot points and handles the ensemble’s individual arcs largely, except for couple of futile female characters. The compromise in exploring the […]

Christo Tomy makes an impressive debut with ‘Ullozhukku’, a story about two women brilliantly played by Urvashi and Parvathy
The first-time writer-director has a firm grip over both his craft and his understanding of the psychology of his two heroines. The result is a wonderfully humanistic drama. Ullozhukku, meaning undercurrent, is essentially a showcase for two women – I am talking about both Urvashi and Parvathy Thiruvothu, and the superbly written characters they play, […]

Readers Write In #701: The Death Of GenZ (And How it was Reborn with Lover)
By Aadesh Ramaswamy Cahiers: Early films tell us a good deal about the period in which they were made. This is no longer true of 75 percent of current productions. In Pierrot le fou, do contemporary life and the fact that Belmondo is writing his journal give the film its real dimension? This was something that […]
