Delhi 6 Movie Review

Review by Siddhartha on 21st February 2009

After "Rang De Basanti" its director Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra was expected to come up with a movie that was more interesting and revolutionary. "Delhi 6" is a revolutionary movie with an important message for every human being, but on the whole there is nothing much interesting in this latest flick which was one of the most awaited movies of the year and even with its terrific star cast it fails to re-create the same magic which "Rang De Basanti" did a few years ago. Even Abhishek's style and Sonam Kapoor's elegance fails to save this movie. Read More

The Reader Movie Review

Review by Siddhartha on 16th February 2009

"The Reader" based on the best selling novel "Der Vorleser (The Reader)" by Bernhard Schlink is a wonderful tale of human emotions and compulsions. The movie which has gained critical acclaim world over is a powerful potrayal of human sentiments.
The movie begins in 1995 and within moments trails into flashback to 1958 in Neustadt, West Germany where 15 year old Micheal (David Kross) feeling sick at the bottom of the block of flats where he is attended by Hana Schmitz (Kate Winslet) a tram conductor by profession who is in her mid 30s. He is very thankful to her for the care he is being tendered at that moment. Read More

Thick As Thieves (2009) Movie Review

Review by Siddhartha on 14th February 2009

Millenium Films "Thick As Thieves" is a very interesting movie set in Russia about a master thief recruiting a very notorious thief to steal two famous faberge eggs from a highly secure vault in order to repay his debt to the russian mob. When the master thief and the notorious thief play double game over the other, there is no short of thrills in this movie.
When the master thief proves to his recruit how smart he is and in turn when the recruit shows his other side the master proves his mettle.
Gabriel (Antonio Banderas) decides to rob in a train where a group of russian jewellers travel with a prized possession and during the robbery Keith Ripley (Morgan Freeman) gets fascinated by his precision at work. Read More

Dead Like Me (2009) Movie Review

Review by Siddhartha on 10th February 2009

Metro Golden Mayer's "Dead Like Me" is a movie based on the concept that a suffering soul will be relieved of his/her life by the reapers. Though the concept is unnatural the way the movie has been made is pretty ordinary and not to mention the graphics where the demons appear to make the final blow to the parting soul.
The movie begins with the theory of evolution of death and a pretty imaginative theory one should say and a self-narrative of the reapers and their role in helping the suffering soul part with their lives. Read More

Naan Kadavul Movie Review

Review by Siddhartha on 7th February 2009

"Naan Kadavul" (I am God) one of the most anticipated movies of recent times in tamil cinema has lot of credits up its sleeve. "Naan Kadavul" was in the making for three years, the movie has changed hands to three producers and the hero of the movie Arya's (spelt as Aarya in the movie) next major release "Sarvam" is likely to hit the theatres in three weeks time.
The movie no doubt is a trademark Bala film. The artists have taken this opportunity to showcase their real acting talent in such a way that they have gone deep into the charecters assigned to them. Read More

While She Was Out Movie Review

Review by Siddhartha on 4th February 2009

Redwood Palms Pictures "While She Was Out" is a very boring adaptation of a short story written by Edward Bryant. The director Susan Montford decided to make this movie just because he would have thought that the target audience would be awed by the subject. Though the main crux of the movie is pretty normal the treatment meeted out to the screenplay has been pathetic.

The movie supposedly on the thriller genre hardly has any thrilling scenes in it. Most of the movie is easily predictable and when this happens the whole eagerness towards the movie fades out. Read More

Vennila Kabadi Kuzhu Movie Review

Review by Siddhartha on 1st February 2009

"Vennila Kabadi Kuzhu" is an interesting movie where the entire story set in a rural village near pazhani keeps the audience glued to their seats for most part of the movie.
If "Chennai 600028, Lagaan" were about cricket and "ChakDe" was about hockey "Vennila Kabadi Kuzhu" is about Kabadi.
The story is about a kabadi group known as vennila and the struggle they undergo in life.
The movie with lot of new faces except the talented Saranya Mohan and Kishore is a daring effort from the director which is sure to bring in lot of accolades. Read More
