Etharkkum Thunindhavan Movie Synopsis: A lawyer turns judge jury and executioner and goes after a gang, led by a minister’s son, that threatens women. Etharkkum Thunindhavan Movie Review: In Etharkkum Thunindhavan, Suriya plays Kannabiran, a lawyer who stands by the side of justice and protects the innocents. At home, he is the doting son to his parents Aadhirayar (Sathyaraj, whose presence lends more weight to the character than the writing) and Kosalai (Saranya Ponvannan, in a role that she can, by now, play in her sleep). And in the eyes of Aadhini (a fine Priyankaa Arul Mohan), h ..read more

The rules of the hating game are not set, they are constantly in flux, changing to suit rapidly conditions. The one constant: its players, Lucy (Lucy Hale) and Josh (Austin Stowell), dueling assistants at a publishing house who not only seem incapable of seeing eye to eye, but of very often getting damn close to actually punching out said eyes.  There is indeed a thin line between love and hate, and as Peter Hutchings’ crackling “The Hating Game” opens, Lucy and Josh are inches from demolishing that line forever. Fans of best-selling author Sally Thorne, who burst onto the roman ..read more

Story: A young filmmaker is in a soup right when he’s about to find his footing in the film industry. When he sets out to find an answer, turns out it’s in the past. Review: Rahul Sankrityan seems to have created a niche of his own in telling stories that are a mix of science, fiction and fantasy. If his debut film Taxiwaala told the tale of a possessed car, his sophomore film Shyam Singha Roy with story written by Janga Satyadev, tells the tale of a man haunted by his past. What unveils is something that might not be novel but the way it unfolds keeps you ho ..read more

The tasteful manner in which some of the action sequences are staged often makes us forget all our million grouses with Tinu Pappachan’s film When men bursting to the brim with their egos decide to fight each other, they don’t need a reason. When these men are in a film, they don’t need a script, nor the presence of a woman on the screen. That must have been how the initial discussions of Tinu Pappachan’s Ajagajantharam panned out — for that is exactly what takes place during the movie’s two hour-runtime. The whole narrative is set around the night of a pooram festival at a ..read more

Story: Pushpa Raj is a coolie who rises in the world of red sandalwood smuggling. Along the way, he doesn’t shy from making an enemy or two. Review: With Pushpa: The Rise, Sukumar ventures into unchartered territory by making a rustic masala film filled with punch dialogues, characters that speak in a Chittoor dialect and a story that’s rooted deep in the region it’s set in. And seeing as how expectations were sky-high after Rangasthalam, what he delivers turns out to be a mixed bag that’s over-long, falters at times and delivers what it promises at others. Pushpa Raj (Allu ..read more
