Tenet

   Language -English How was it? - Great. Enjoyed it. Leaves you with a lot of questions at the end. And the need to re-watch it. And the need to google about it. Right into action from the first frame. How likely are you to recommend your friend to watch this movie? Actually, would like all my friends to try it and hear their views. My after thoughts There are a lot of paradoxical movies out there, but this still stands out a little from the others. There maybe some potholes, but come on, its a sci-fi. People who should watch this? If you are a fan of Nolan and like his previous works, this is another gem. People who should not watch this? If you haven't watched any Nolan movie or can't really understand paradoxical issues. Would you watch the movie again? Definitely. In the theatres next time, maybe.

Andhaghaaram

   Language -Tamil How was it? - Nice one. A slow paced thriller. Awesome sound design. Would have loved it in the theatres. Prepare yourself mentally for a three hour movie, and you are not going to be disappointed. How likely are you to recommend your friend to watch this movie? Highly recommended if you are into thrillers. My after thoughts I usually don't think movies from Netflix are good. But, this one has made me rethink my notion. But still I don't recommend Netflix Originals. People who should watch this? If you are a thriller fan, set up for a three hour drive, and you are gonna like it. People who should not watch this? If you aren't into thrillers or can't spend three hours in a movie. Would you watch the movie again? Probably, with a friend who hasn't watched yet.

Gatham

  Language -Telugu How was it? - kind of good. Not much dialogue and most of them are in English, so you don't have to keep staring at the subtitle. A familiar cast could have taken it to the next level. Great locations and screenplay. There are a few potholes, but no movie is fully practical. How likely are you to recommend your friend to watch this movie? Not much likely. My after thoughts Thought it would be bad, but it turns out okay. People who should watch this? If you have not seen a lot of thrillers and would like to try. People who should not watch this? If you have already watched several thriller movies, this is just one among them. Would you watch the movie again? Nah, not again.

Mookuthi Amman

Language -Tamil How was it? - Disappointing. I kept waiting for the comical scenes to come and they never did come. A few laughs here and there but nothing of the kind that hurts your tummy. Bold initiative in the Tamil film industry, but my high expectation and comparisons with movies like "pk" makes it disappointing.  How likely are you to recommend your friend to watch this movie? Not at all required. Like Jadhav in the CSK team. My after thoughts Watching interviews increase your expectations for a certain film. Thinking back, the logic seems rather kind of add. The CG was also not very convincing. People who should watch this? No reason to watch unless you have paid for an Hotstar subscription. People who should not watch this? If you have already watched movies like pk and Trance, there is nothing much here. Would you watch the movie again? Never will I ever.

Soorarai Potru

   Language -Tamil How was it? - Nice. So much expectations and this movie kind of delivered. Already known story doesn't hinder the movie watching experience. Beautiful frames and colors all round. Could have been even so much better is what I feel.  How likely are you to recommend your friend to watch this movie? A must watch blockbuster in this quarantine. My after thoughts Wonder if scheduling the movie on Oct 30 and postponing to Nov 12 is a pre-planned move.  Even though, I watched with my family with all lights out and speaker, I still miss the theatres. People who should watch this? An absolute delicacy for Surya fans and amazon prime subscribers. People who should not watch this? If you were expecting an out-of-the-box storytelling. The storytelling seems pretty ordinary or usual. Would you watch the movie again? Yeah maybe.
