Good fun it was. Some sharp and funny dialogues reminded me of crazy mohan, though it could have been more consistent with those funny dialogues. Nevertheless, fun watch.

Very underwhelming. High on style and no substance, some cool shot compositions, class act, fantastic music. Otherwise very illogical flow of scenes, incoherent, and implausible storytelling.

Such a heartwarming film with splendid performance from Rajesh Khanna. Keeping the spirits superalive in the face of life-threatening adversity couldn't have been shown better. And, Salil Chowdhury's songs are timeless and melodious. Showing the cosmopolitan nature of Mumbai back in the day was interesting.

Poetic, heart wrenching, and calming. Powerful acting display and story telling. Captivating songs.

Adolescence on Netflix was good. Uninterrupted long takes, all through the 4 episodes, were splendid. It plays more with the psyche than whodunnit element.

Pretty smart, funny and ironically intellectually stimulating.

Visually breathtaking and thought provoking

Difficult to sit through even first 10 odd minutes.

The cinematography of the film is the lone saviour. The visual aesthetics and brilliance is noticeable right from the get go. Some shots are beautifully captured and feel hypnotic. For instance, the camera remains static and focuses on the girl's face, who is inside bathroom, smelling different shampoo bottles, and trying them out on her hair. Another instance is where the camera is placed on the backseat of a car as the girl's mother starts her car and steers it to the left. The life's philosophy being discussed during the phase, where the character Avi comes in, stands out and does seem immersive. Overall, the storytelling is the biggest weakling as it falters to keep us engrossed with its abstract style of narration. It becomes extremely difficult to follow the story and one may start wondering what is it all about and what are these characters doing at different stages of the film. There's a dialogue in the film where the character says she felt spaced out in the middle. Well, that's like reading the mind of viewers but the difference being - spaced out in almost most parts of the film.

Love and authenticity Amaran is a really well-made emotional-action drama without turning it into massy flick. The performer in Sivakarthikeyan, who played Major Mukund, comes out all guns blazing. Hats off to that. Sai Pallavi, who played Indu, is a master of invoking emotions. Pure outburst of childlike happiness on seeing Mukund and his success. She is the lifeline of this film. The character is so well portrayed that it makes you yearn for a partner with such love, kindness, and emotions towards you. The film succeeds in being as authentic and realistic as possible. Wish the film used subtitles instead of language translation for non Tamil dialogues at all places instead of just few.
