- DirectorAnjali MenonStarsDulquer SalmaanNivin PaulyNazriya NazimA fun roller coaster ride about three young people, Aju, Divya and Kuttan who are cousins, reach Bangalore to dream, discover and explore.A nice feel good movie but very slow. If you can relate to the movie in anyway then it's a pleasure to watch it. Otherwise it'll be boring for normal people.
But I enjoyed watching it. 7.5/10 - DirectorN.V. Nirmal KumarStarsVijay AntonyAksha PardasanyR.N.R. ManoharThe socially responsible Dr.Salim faces criticism and seclusion at work due to his upright nature. In addition to this, when his relationship with Nisha falls apart, he is driven to do something he wouldn't normally do.Expectations were so high when I started watching it. But kinda disappointed a little. Very average movie. A little bit over rated movie IMO.

7.5/10 - DirectorMaïwennStarsKarin ViardJoeyStarrMarina FoïsA journalist covering police assigned to a juvenile division enters into an affair with one of her subjects.A shocking drama which speaks about child abuses.
