12th Fail (2023)
Let's restart - Such an amazing motivational movie
This movie is based on the true incident. This movie is so logical and realistic, directors and artists took us into the movie so deep, with mixed emotions of cry nd laugh. Amazing work and really worth watching.
This movie is about how a boy from a village who failed in his 12th standard, who is unaware of the service commission exams, got inspired by a sincere police officer, determined to become an officer like him. By circumstances he reached Delhi, got some guidance on preparation for UPSC. He struggle for day to day living, managing money for family and self and dedicated his time for study and ultimately he find his love.
Vikrant and Anshumaan did justice for their role. Hard work never goes unpaid.
I recommend all the age group to watch this movie.
Suits (2011)
High class legal series with addictive nature
This is a law related US-based series with 9 seasons and 134 episodes.
Pearson Specter is a corporate law dealing firm. The story starts with Harvey Specter, a famous US lawyer, hiring a talented Mike Ross as a lawyer without a proper degree. Mike's performance was excellent. That gave a boost to the Pearson Specter law firm. Louis Litt discovers about Mike and uses him as leverage for a managing partner - firm renamed Pearson Specter Litt.
Very late they found themselves in deep trouble because of this fraudulent hiring and the story has its own twists and narration.
Jessica Pearson - leading managing director of Pearson Specter Litt - in the latter season, resigned her post for the better cause of the public.
Harvey - continues to be a great lawyer with a lot of ups and downs and hindrances. The story continues till the end with this character.
Mike - undergoing various upturns in life, went to prison due to fraudulence. After returning from prison, he succeeded in being a member of a New York bar with the help of Harvey and he found his purpose in helping pro bono cases. He marries Rachel and as a couple they move to Seattle by the end of the 7th season to pursue their passion.
Donna - the smartest secretary of Harvey, later becomes the COO of the firm. This character is filled with witty, emotional and compassionate components.
Louis Litt - highly knowledged, short-tempered, impulsive character, keeps the show running throughout.
Zane - Father in law of Mike Ross, leading founder of another law firm, colluded with Specter Litt after Jessica's resignation in the last three seasons.
Most of the storylines are excellent, well narrated and make you binge watch. Addictive in nature. I recommend this to watch if you are a series lover.
Maaveeran (2023)
New storyline - Comedy - Fast first half, slow second half
Sathya is a cartoon artist, son of a social fighter. He uses all the bravery in the cartoon stories, but in reality he is a coward. The first half narrates his character, how they are moved to a new multi-story building built for slum people. They experience poor building quality with complaints piling up. Sathya uses this as content for his cartoon.
Nila, sub-editor of a leading newspaper, gave the job of cartoonist to Sathya. When she realised the poor built quality of the building, she was not able to publish on the same due to political pressure.
Once, the building engineer misbehaved with Sathya's sister, and with anger he would go for a fight, but in turn he would be teased and get a beating. His mother Saritha would scold him for his incapability. Not able to accept his cowardice, he decides to commit suicide. Thinking of his family, he decides not to die but, an accident will happen and he'll get a head injury.
He will revive from death suddenly post accident with the voice in his ear. He'll experience auditory hallucinations with instructions about what to do.
With this, how he saves the people from the building collapse, how he fights the politicians and rowdies, what happens to him in the end is the rest of the story.
Overall, the storyline is a new concept. The first half was fast and engaging, the second half was a bit slow and dragging.
Yogi Babu and Sivakarthikeyan managed to crack comedies throughout the film.
Saritha and Myskin played well. The role of Aditi Shankar is less.
Overall, this is a family comedy entertainer worth watching in the theatre.
Citadel (2023)
Citadel - Deserves second chance
Mason Kane and Nadia Singh are the top spies of agency "Citadel"(Global organisation). The story revolves around how the citadel is being destroyed by Manticore(an organisation owned by the 5 wealthiest families in the world). Only a few agents of the citadel are surviving and how they are going to protect themselves and the Citadel is the plot.
The story content was acceptable. But the way it is narrated may require more tuning.
Few action sequences were really good. But the camera angle and rotation in many scenes were annoying.
It's really not worth 300 million dollars (as per Amazon production) but I feel it deserves a second chance to prove themselves.
Expecting the second season to fulfill the lacunae created by the first.
A Man Called Otto (2022)
Otto has a motto to make you smile
First choose this movie to watch when you are relaxed. A grumpy, old, lonely "Otto" with mild OCD features for perfection and dilated cardiomyopathy, trying to end his life in many ways due to depression from his wife's death. Every attempt is interpreted due to one or other event. Marisol, a new pregnant neighbour and her family bring him back to normal life. What's the personal story of OTTO and how he came back to normal life is the movie.
Tom hanks lived the character once again. Mariana and others acted well. The story narration was different and I loved the way it went. A movie will make you laugh at many points.
I enjoyed the movie and i recommend you to watch with family or friends in relaxed mood.
IB 71 (2023)
Thrilling spy movie
Story in nut shell - In 1971, Pakistan plan to attack India allying with China via East Pakistan. This plan is deciphered by Indian Secret agencies. India make a plan to stop the air movement of Pakistan to east Pakistan via India - thereby weakening the attack power of Pakistan. This lead to India's supremacy in the following war. 'How they achieve this.? What happens for the secret agents?' is the story.
All the actors played their roles well.
The storyline, screenplay and action kept us nail biting. The director did justice to the story with a good background score. Learnt to know, this is based on the true event that gave a sense of pride.
Really worth watching a thrill packed spy story of 1971, released in recent time.
Zara Hatke Zara Bachke (2023)
Middle class romantic family drama - worth watching
This is a family/ romantic comedy drama. The story runs around the middle class Indian joint family, where the Kapil chawla, yoga instructor is very calculative( kanjoos), saving money for his family. His wife Saumya is a teacher who is aspiring for a dream house. This movie portrays, how couples in joint families lack their privacy and how they dream for a new home and present inflation/real estate in India. This couple decided to go beyond the routine for getting a govt aided housing. What are the issues they face. How they feel that a house is just a building with bricks and a home is made by a family.
All the actors did their best. The movie is really a masterpiece, full of humour, sarcasm and emotions.
I laughed and enjoyed the movie and it is worth watching.
Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (2023)
Not great.. but you can watch if you are a transformers fan
Entered the theater to watch some action from transformers after long time. Animal transformers was good concept, storyline was good. Few comedy inbetween, more by mirage charector scores. Autobot to iron man suit, various animal bots were good. Movie is full of metal clinging against each other, packed with action.
My doubt is - how one half of the key alone sent the signal tracked by scourge and another key inspite of held open didn't.
Over all, watchable once, action packed transformers story. Nothing great and nothing bad. Missing the impact of movie, gave a sense of a normal movie. Better than the previous one for sure.
Sembi (2022)
Sembi - Well narrated emotional drama
This movie attempted to spread awareness about pedophile in society and POCSO act.
This is how a 10 yrs old innocent tribal girl gets gang raped and how her single old grand mother seeks justice. Also how people travelling in bus tries to help both grand mother and the child. The child acted so well and Kovai sarala performance was awesome. Ashwin was charming. Thambi ramaiah managed to crack few laughs. Solomon Prabhu did justice in narrating the story. Background score and visual of western ghats were good. Social awareness movie and packed with emotions. Worth watching and recommended for common people.
