Kanguva - A Grand Vision That Misses the Mark Suriya's much-anticipated Kanguva was expected to be a groundbreaking cinematic experience. With larger-than-life promotions, a massive budget, and sky-high expectations, the film promised to redefine Tamil cinema. However, what unfolded on screen left audiences with mixed emotions, leaning heavily towards disappointment. Story & Screenplay The movie takes you through a convoluted narrative that struggles to decide its genre. Is it science fiction? A fantasy epic? An action thriller? A period movie? The story oscillates between grand moments and excruciatingly slow sequences, making it hard for the audience to stay engaged. The core of the story, while ambitious, lacks clarity and emotional depth, leaving viewers confused rather than invested. Suriya’s Performance Suriya delivers a high-energy performance, as always, but the writing does him no justice. His character feels underutilized, and despite his best efforts, the emotional connection is missing. Music & Background Score Devi Sri Prasad’s music is another weak link. His contribution worked only in fewer parts. The background score, instead of elevating the scenes, feels generic and often loud. It lacks the finesse required for a film of this scale. At times, it seems like kitchen utensils have been turned into instruments for the sake of novelty. Visuals & Direction Visually, the movie is a spectacle in parts. The grand sets, action sequences, and VFX work are praiseworthy. But good visuals can only carry a movie so far without a solid script. Siruthai Siva, known for mass entertainers, falters here. A director who delivered a drastic disaster Annaathe should have rethought handling such a massive project. Karthi’s Cameo with a sequel lead The much-hyped cameo by Karthi and giving the lead for sequel is very forced. Fans waiting for a Rolex vs Dilli face-off in "Lokesh Cinematic Universe" will be left disappointed as these moments are handled without finesse in this Kanguva. Bahubali & RRR Comparison Comparisons to Bahubali were inevitable, but Kanguva pales in every aspect—be it storytelling, character arcs, or music. Claiming to be Kollywood’s pride, the film fails to hold a candle to its South Indian counterparts. Final Verdict Kanguva is a classic case of over-promotion leading to sky-high expectations that the movie can’t meet. Despite Suriya’s efforts and the grand production scale, the film’s lack of direction, weak writing, and underwhelming music make it a forgettable experience. Fans of Suriya, Karthi and Siruthai Siva might want to hold their breath for the next project, as this one leaves behind more questions than answers.

"Lucky Baskhar" is absolutely fantastic! Dulquer Salmaan returns with a real banger, delivering a performance that’s both stylish and intense. Alongside him, Meenakshi Chaudhary and the entire supporting cast excel in their roles, each bringing depth and energy that add layers to the story. The film is a near-perfect blend of suspense and thrill—there’s no room for flaws, lags, or unnecessary scenes. From start to finish, it’s a gripping financial thriller packed with edge-of-the-seat moments that keep you guessing. GV Prakash Kumar’s music, from the songs to the background score, is truly fabulous. His compositions add an extra layer of intensity to each scene, enhancing the mood and making the thrilling moments even more impactful. The movie carries a nostalgic vibe reminiscent of the classic charm seen in the 90s, similar to "Kannum Kannum Kollaiyadithaal," but with its own unique spin. The retro elements, combined with a modern storyline, make it both refreshing and memorable. If you’re a fan of high-stakes dramas with smart twists and engaging storytelling, "Lucky Baskhar" is a must-watch.

Best tribute movie for Major Mukund Both Sivakarthikeyan and Sai Pallavi not acted, they lived as Major Mukund and Indu Rebecca. And other important characters done their roles perfectly. GV Prakash's Music both BGMs and songs are perfectly composed. Anbariv masters' action sequences are well choreographed. This movie deserves awards and recognition. Don't miss it in theatres. Because it's a Well executed biography with action, romance and emotions by director Rajkumar Periyasamy.

#Vettaiyan is a genuinely good film, fully content-oriented, setting itself apart from mass commercial entertainers like #Jailer. Superstar Rajinikanth excels with his screen presence, performances and action sequences, embodying a style reminiscent of Amitabh Bachchan. Fahadh Faasil delivers a memorable performance, while Anirudh's songs and background scores, alongside Anbariv's stunts, & other technical team's work are really massive & superb. The cinematography is top-notch, enhancing the viewing experience. Every actors actresses shines, especially Dushara. And the film keeps you engaged with a blend of whistle-worthy moments and meaningful social messages. Don’t miss it in theatres. However, some desperate #Rajinikanth fans, just because they want to spread unwanted negativity about the #TheGreatestOfAllTime movie, now feel the need to damage a good film in return. Also, it's unacceptable that some biased trackers are trying to completely blame #Vijay fans for the chaos. The truth is, this whole fight was actually started by Rajini fans, and what's happening now is simply a response to that. Let’s end this cycle of negativity and appreciate every film for its merit. Additionally, overly critical reviews that exaggerate minor flaws into major issues detract from the film's essence. These bullshit guys' reviews should be avoided. Let's celebrate every cinema positively!

Devara - A Must-Watch Blockbuster of 2024! Devara is a visual treat and an engaging experience. Though the story feels familiar, its execution and engaging screenplay keep you hooked. Jr NTR delivers a powerful performance in both father and son roles, while Saif Ali Khan shines as the villain, Jhanvi Kapoor’s role is short, used her role only for song but she may have a bigger role in the sequel. Anirudh's songs & background score is top-notch, especially the "Fear song" giving literal goosebumps. The movie’s CGI is impressive, though the shark fight looked a bit artificial. The interval block and climax are brilliant, leaving you excited for part two. Missing Davudi song, maybe it will come in second part. Devara is a solid blockbuster with stunning visuals, great performances, high octane action sequences, a superb soundtrack and its director Koratala Siva's comeback. Highly recommend watching it!

Finally watched #Indian2 movie. In movie many action sequences and some scenes are full of "Beyond the limits" (Ella meeri poringa da eleyy) Everyone's acting and racy screenplay only saving the movie. Screenplay makes not much boring. Making and visual wise everything in top notch. And climax Indian 3 lead is also good. But feels incomplete and somewhat disappoints. Emotional scenes are not connected us. Entirely the movie seems like it's not Director.Shankar's movie. They wasted Kamal sir's energy and time.

Mahesh Babu proves once again that he's a stellar performer with his acting, facial expressions, and even his dance moves. However, as a film, I didn’t expect this kind of output from Trivikram garu. After Agnyaathavaasi, this feels like another lackluster effort. During the early stages of SSMB28, after scrapping the initial schedule, including Pooja Hegde's portions and Anbariv's stunt sequences, they shifted the script from an action thriller to a family movie. That shift is evident in Guntur Kaaram, and unfortunately, it shows. The result is a disappointing film, marked by lethargic direction and a weak screenplay. Thaman's background score was also underwhelming, with vibes reminiscent of Skanda and Sarkaru Vaari Paata, but failing to create a fresh impact. While the supporting cast performed well, their screen time was short and limited. This movie is completely dominated by Mahesh Babu—it's a one-man show that will certainly please his fans. As a Sankranti festival release, it serves as an okayish entertainer, worth a one-time watch. However, it doesn’t come close to the charm of Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo, Athadu, or Attarintiki Daredi. In my opinion: Sarileru Neekevvaru >>> Guntur Kaaram >>> Sarkaru Vaari Paata.

Lubber Pandhu is a brilliantly crafted sports-based family drama that truly deserves to be a massive hit. These days, many good movies are released, but they often get overshadowed by critics focusing on minor flaws, turning them into a list of negatives. However, with Lubber Pandhu, there's really nothing negative to point out. It's a pure feel-good, blissful, and wholly satisfying film. At no point did I feel bored, nor did the movie drag. From the screenplay to the technical aspects, the film is flawless. The cricket match sequences are exceptionally well-executed, adding an extra layer of intensity and excitement. The climax, in particular, was completely unexpected, making the conclusion even more impactful and memorable. The screenplay is highly engaging, and both Harish Kalyan and Attakathi Dinesh deliver excellent performances. The supporting cast also did a commendable job in their roles. Sean Roldan's music and background score are exceptional, further enhancing the movie’s overall experience. Don’t miss this in theatres! Come, watch, celebrate, enjoy, and make this a big blockbuster!

Thalapathy Vijay Anna proved as a performer in this movie by acting in dual roles like this. I didn't expect this kinda movie from Venkat Prabhu also. Making & execution wise everything is top notch. And also 3 hours duration movie not felt bored at all. Music Yuvan songs disappoints but in Bgm he scored well. Other supporting actors & technical team done their job very well. It's entirely Paisa vasool movie with a jam packed commercial package. And don't believe some negative reviews who are given by some brainless bitches, wasted Sperm borns, some hater haramis and foolish ruling party's IT wings. This movie deserves a big Industrial Blockbuster in Indian cinema industry.
