Ponmagal Vanthal

Language -Tamil. How was it? -Nothing much. A boredom killer? Yes. A must watch? No. Only in three instances did I like the movie. Otherwise, I was just watching because I wanted to. I didn't want to stop midway. At times, it felt as if I was watching a classic Tamil serial. How likely are you to recommend your friend to watch this movie? Not at all. I'm not even going to breath about the existence of this movie. My after thoughts Not sure what is going to happen to the film industry after the arrival of this movie in the OTT platform. Shit! I really miss the theaters, man. The whole vibe and the feel(not the overpriced snacks).  People who should watch this? If are a fan of Jyothika or if you want to kill your time by watching a new Tamil movie. People who should not watch this? If you are expecting to watch a brand-new, good Tamil movie after a long time, probably you should wait a few more days. Would you watch the movie again? Never. Not even if you pay me to watch it. Wait...

The Woman in Black

Language -English. How was it? -Not so scary. The location of the haunted house is just awesome. Music and sudden motion is what scares you and not the ghost(or the woman here) itself. How likely are you to recommend your friend to watch this movie? Not worth recommending. My after thoughts Remove the music and then its just a movie. It doesn't give you those sudden jerks. People who should watch this? If you like Daniel Radcliffe(Harry Potter). People who should not watch this? If you are expecting too much scariness. Would you watch the movie again? Nope.

The Ring Two

Language -English. How was it? -Not so good. Like every other part two of a movie, this also doesn't do justice. How likely are you to recommend your friend to watch this movie? Nothing much in this movie. I have this feeling of Tamil movie Kanchana. My after thoughts The same template. Movies are like memes but with varying templates. People who should watch this? If you liked The Ring and can't stop yourself from watching this. People who should not watch this? If you didn't like the first part or satisfied with the first part. Would you watch the movie again? Nope.

Thappad

Language -Hindi. How was it? -Okay-ish. Knew what would be the story, right from the first look and the trailer. So, no much expectations. Its about two hours and twenty minutes long and I feel it could have been made a little short. A total family drama. How likely are you to recommend your friend to watch this movie? Nah. The first look is enough. My after thoughts The divorce seems extreme but the plot justifies it from the view of Tapsee. Every housewife and mother has sacrificed their life and something or the other. People who should watch this? If you like Tapsee or drama movies. I think all men should try this to get her point of view. People who should not watch this? If you aren't the family drama type. Would you watch the movie again? No.

Mathu Vadalara

Language -Telugu. How was it? -Splendid. Right from the title card, I fell for it. Such great editing. Wonderful frames and the screenplay or story is filled with twists. The twists may be a little too much, but, i bet, you can never guess it. A totally fun movie with great attention to details. In little places it reminds me of the Tamil movie Kannun Kannum Kollaiadithal(KKK). How likely are you to recommend your friend to watch this movie? A must watch in this lock down. My after thoughts Wish one day I could edit like that. Such a nice fun movie after so many days. People who should watch this? If you like a number of twists in a movie and which keeps you guessing. People who should not watch this? If you aren't into the guessing game. But, I think even you are going to like it. Would you watch the movie again? Maybe.

Gantomoote

Language -Kannada. How was it? -Delicate. A school life of a young girl said in the most intricate way. And the title suits it better. Sometimes, it reminds me of the Tamil movie 96.  How likely are you to recommend your friend to watch this movie? Already recommended some. My after thoughts I think my school life was a total waste. Such a movie watching experience that I had to step out(after a week or so) to get some fresh air. People who should watch this? If you like love movies and especially if you have loved someone during your school days. Not sure if everyone is going to like it. Its a female oriented movie. People who should not watch this? If you aren't into love movies or if you need a fast paced story. All love stories seem low paced. Would you watch the movie again? Not sure. But, maybe with a friend who hasn't yet watched it.

Karwaan

Language -Hindi. How was it? -Okay. A casual commercial story that promises nothing. Stunning visuals all through the journey. How likely are you to recommend your friend to watch this movie? A care-free journey that you must undertake. My after thoughts We never realize the worth of things or people as long as they co-exist with us. Dulquer Salman goes to Kerala talking Hindi and not knowing Malayalam. People who should watch this? If you need a casual light hearted movie. People who should not watch this? If you expect something strange and huge. Would you watch the movie again? Not probably.

Anjaam Pathiraa

Language -Malayalam. How was it? -Good. A thriller but a little on the slower side is what I feel. It reminds me of Raatchasan and Psycho but doesn't have its impact. It had wonderful elements which could have been told better. How likely are you to recommend your friend to watch this movie? Not very likely. It doesn't give you the creepiness required. My after thoughts So no villain is bad after all. He is the hero whose story is being told at the flashback. Maybe could have had some other hero. But, Anwar Hussain is the producer too. People who should watch this? If you like watching thriller movies. People who should not watch this? If you expect something like Raatchasan or Psycho, then you are going to be disappointed. Would you watch the movie again? Never.

Coco

Language -Animation(English). How was it? -Enjoyed it. Such great colors. A visual treat. How likely are you to recommend your friend to watch this movie? A twenty of ten. My after thoughts Is there a world like that? Wounder what would happen after we die? People who should watch this? If you like watching animation movies. Or its a good movie to start you animation venture. People who should not watch this? If you aren't into animation movies. Would you watch the movie again? Yup. Totally worth it.

Uyare

Language -Malayalam. How was it? -Impact-full. I've been putting to watch this movie later all the while. And I wish I had seen it well before. At least I got to see it now. The title and the music are apt on. You feel obliged to know more about the life of the character. How likely are you to recommend your friend to watch this movie? Maybe they have already watched it. If not, I would do the needful My after thoughts How could he do so? The male lead character has been well crafted to bring hatred among the viewers. It doesn't feel like a Malayalam movie. If that's good or bad, I feel it is a bit on the down side. People who should watch this? If you like general drama movies with a strong message. People who should not watch this? I can't think of people who would hate this. Maybe, everyone should try. Would you watch the movie again? Yes. After a year or two when the story is kind of lost to my brain.

Mirage

Language -Spanish. How was it? -Paradoxical. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Just the way I like. A slow start and the pace keeps growing and leaves with lots of questions at the end. And you want to know more about the lives of the characters. Forget about the possibility of it happening, its a sci fi after all. How likely are you to recommend your friend to watch this movie? Already recommended my friends and brother. My after thoughts What did he tell to Nico? About who is Nico, I guessed it and saw it coming from the first frame. Wish something could happen like this to me. I wonder how would I react. People who should watch this? If you like time disruption, time travel, sci-fi kind of movies related type of movies, believe me you are gonna love it. People who should not watch this? If you are can't really understand about time travel and don't like movies leaving you with questions and guessing. Would you watch the movie again? Yes. With someone who en...

Varane Avashyamund

Language -Malayalam. How was it? -Average. A casual drama love story of people living in an apartment in Chennai. No much expectations and you will feel good at the end of it. How likely are you to recommend your friend to watch this movie? You need to be impressed head over heels to recommend. My after thoughts I thought Malayalam movies have great scenario because they are shot in Kerala. But, in the opening son of this movie, my idea proves wrong. They even show Chennai beautiful behind the lens. People who should watch this? If you like casual drama movies. People who should not watch this? If you are not into commercial movies. Would you watch the movie again? The first song, yes.
