Yesterday sitting in the balcony on an old theater waiting for Dasavatharam to start munching on popcorn and sipping diet coke, I wondered if I would like the movie. For someone who “got” Aalavandan this should be better was the idea. The movie started on a dramatic note with the prelude to the 12th century […]
A couple of weeks back, K and I watched this movie starring Amitabh and Tabu. Going by reviews online and comments from people who had watched it before I had no great expectations.

K and I watched this movie yesterday evening. I had mild expectations based on reviews I chanced upon after the movie had been released. K had no expectation […]
Watched this telugu movie after a friend recommended it. Was easily one of the most enjoyable movies in recent times that I have watched. Clean fun. Totally realistic and well made. Pick this movie up if you are in the mood for something light and upbeat.
While am in the mood to discuss movies, Nandanam is […]
