You know, that desire to see the film just to see it, to know why it failed for yourself, so that you too can be part of the conversation. That is why. Synopsis: Based on the 16th century … Continue reading Samrat Prithviraj (2022) – An Aggressively Mid Historical Epic of Missed Opportunities

After a few days filled with bad or depressing films I thought it would be a nice change to have something light, and I had heard good things about this film for a long while.

Kadaisi Vivasayi (2022) – A Quiet Natured Existence
This was a movie that I liked a lot. It probably won't be for everyone, there isn't any mass moments and the stars that do their cameos filter through the narrative without much fanfare. It is a quiet film, yet it keeps you engaged from start to finish, soon enough entangling you with the emotions … Continue reading Kadaisi Vivasayi (2022) – A Quiet Natured Existence
