This film...just blew me away. I had heard it is a classic and I can see why. It does not pull any punches and filled with atmosphere it was the smoothest 3 hours I spent staring at the screen. Somehow it balances so many things, yet still stays consistent, and looks absolutely stunning! Though, I … Continue reading Aayirathil Oruvan (2010) – An Epic Journey to the Haunted Past

Raavanan (2010) – Falling Into Shades of Gray
This is a film I have rewatched more times than I can count. I even have the Tamil DVD of it, which I hold onto dearly. First time I saw this I was on a search for retellings of the Ramayana, having watched the Toei adaptation of it many times already, and I found this. … Continue reading Raavanan (2010) – Falling Into Shades of Gray
Hasee Toh Phasee (2014) – Imperfection is Perfection for Somebody
This a comfort movie for many people, including me. Sure, if you think logically it will make you angry - with an illogical plot involving China and highly incorrect medical issues. But the emotion is still true and delicate in what it deals with. In truth, if it wasn't for those two issues within the … Continue reading Hasee Toh Phasee (2014) – Imperfection is Perfection for Somebody
Sanam Teri Kasam (2016) – True Emotion, True Love, True Sincerity
I had this film recommended to me by a friend (Thank you, Margaret!), saying that I would love it. Lo and behold, I did love it. By the way, if you are in to sweet, sincere, sappy and VERY romantic movies, then this is for you! This is the ultimate female fantasy movie! Do you … Continue reading Sanam Teri Kasam (2016) – True Emotion, True Love, True Sincerity
Raanjhanaa (2013) – Mad Toxic Love
I will be thanking Atrangi Re (2021) for making me want to watch this movie after a very long time. I had the faint memory of feeling disappointed when I first watched it. This time though, it wasn't the case and I was pleasantly surprised. It even made me cry in the end. Summary: In … Continue reading Raanjhanaa (2013) – Mad Toxic Love
OK Jaanu (2017) – Romantic and Happy
Remakes are a hot topic, be it from Disney's money grabs at nostalgia, a reimagining of a classic movie or just the Hindi remake of a movie from South India. This is one such remake, and one of a successful Tamil movie at that. O Kadhal Kanmani (2015) directed by Mani Ratnam. So, for the … Continue reading OK Jaanu (2017) – Romantic and Happy
Jesus Christ Superstar (2014 Swedish Arena Tour) – Personally, Hits Home Hard and Succeeds Perfectly
I am not religious, but one of my favourite musicals is Andrew Lloyd Webbers Jesus Christ Superstar. No Idea how it became one of my favourites, but it just has been growing me slowly through the years. My first Superstar was the 2000 version with Glen Carter and Jerome Pradon and I still love it … Continue reading Jesus Christ Superstar (2014 Swedish Arena Tour) – Personally, Hits Home Hard and Succeeds Perfectly
Harud (2010) – Sometimes A Photo is All You Have
After seeing Kashmir in so many Indian films like Mission Kashmir, Fitoor, Haider and countless others, this comes as a breath of fresh air. A movie made by the Kashmiris themselves in the Kashmiri language (though the version I saw on Netflix was Urdu-dubbed) and from the view of Kashmiri's who are still living under … Continue reading Harud (2010) – Sometimes A Photo is All You Have
Irrfan Khan: A Memoriam
It has taken me a week to gather my thoughts on this and what to write. It all happened so quickly it was hard to fathom it. Suddenly he was there, then he wasn't. Irrfan was known to me from The Lunchbox (2013) and Piku (2015) the latter being one of my favourite movies ever. … Continue reading Irrfan Khan: A Memoriam
Rishi Kapoor: A Memoriam
It has taken me a week to find my thoughts with all this, especially with Irrfan Khan's death (he will get a write-up like this as well) the previous day these two hit me hard. It is just so sad to lose people so close in succession, I know I never knew both of them … Continue reading Rishi Kapoor: A Memoriam
