Movie Review: Paris Cafe

-

 Guru Somasundaram plays a Gautham Raja, a doctor happily married to Thara (Anumol). They have a daughter Oli, who lives in USA studying in a top Uni there and set to marry a young man Kavin, over there. 




But these happy lives are disrupted when the doctor reveals a dark and guilty secret to his wife who is horrified, and leaves him in frustration. The doctor, under threat of bodily harm to him and his family, had to sign a post- mortem  document giving a clean chit to an honour killing of a girl and her husband. 

Now, upon hearing this truth years later, Thara convinces Gautham to confess and re-opens the case so that  justice can be served.

What happens next? 



The film has a stylish and trendy making. It highlights the love of 2 different generations and presents both in a thought provoking manner.

The topic of honour  killing is the core theme of the film and the film imparts a noble social message on honesty and social justice.

Anumol and Guru Somasundaram deftly handle their roles lending a natural touch with their realistic performances. The rest of the cas to a supwrb job in their roles. 

The visuals are top notch and the sound and bgm add value and elevate the film. 

The screenplay moves deftly for the most part but repetitive dialogues slow things down in few places.

The relationships between spouses, and the lack of communication and confidence in confiding to each other are well brough out.

However, dialogues attributed to Gowtham im key scenes, seem poorly written where he is unable to explain things to his wife.  Fine actors, like Guru and Anumol could have been given more powerful dialogues to drive home their points.

Watch out for a suspenseful climax.

Overall a neat and well-made, engaging, family drama with a contemporary social message.


Rating 3/5

Web Series Review: Thadayam

 SI Adhyaman ( Samuthirakani ) investigates a gruesome twin murder of 2 couples in a village. While his superiors dismiss his intelligence, his senior officer Lakshmi ( Sshivada ) believes in him and makes him part of a special team to nab the culprits. Thanks to Adhyaman's skills the task force manages to trace possible suspects in a hamlet in a border town in Andhra Pradesh. As they begin to dig deeper, several layers emerge which link the case to events dating back to 1995. Who are the kiĺlers ? Do cops Adhyaman and Lakshmi manage to nab them? What obstacles  and dangers come in their way? The crime story allegedly based on true events is a slow burn but gripping cat -and- mouse investigative cop thriller. The first few episodes  set the backdrop and character details. What follows is a chilling series of encounters between the cops and villainous characters (played by Prem and Raj Tirandasu ). While both look menacing and are superb choices, Raj ( Pushpa, OG, and othe...
