The film stars Shane Nigam, Anthony Varghese, Neeraj Madhav, and Mahima Nambiar. The small tweaks in the plot and the characters give the clichéd storyline enough intrigue to make ‘RDX’ more than just a bunch of Insta-reels of fights. If RDX is an explosive novel, the romance between Robert and Mini is a lovely little […]
Man is the most dangerous animal of all. These are not my words. These are the words that open this thriller, which features Jayam Ravi and Nayanthara as Arjun and Priya. He is a cop. She is a cop’s sister. (Narain plays her brother, Andrew.) Arjun is impatient and believes in encounter killings, saying that […]
By Abishekspeare Growing up as a teenager interested in cinema in a middle-class conservative household was tricky.

It’s not a secret for anyone familiar with The Wonderful World of Cinema that I love British films, especially the classic ones.
