With the film scheduled for a worldwide release on December 20, it’s exhilarating to see an unheralded actor stepping into the shoes of antagonist for this classic drama flick laced with humour and emotions. Yes, it’s actor Vaibhav’s elder brother Sunil, who will be seen playing the baddie out here in this film, but with a phenomenal sketch of his character. “In fact, the pursuit of finding a befittingly perfect actor for this role turned to be a huge challenge on my part of casting. It’s incisively because of the character’s nature indeed. While penning the script, we had a clear vision that the antagonist’s role shouldn’t be a shop-soiled and should have freshness. It is a character that wouldn’t gain your aversion of get you irked, but instead will k...

by Rinku Gupta Utharavu Maharaja seems to be an attempt to narrate a  story of several layers by director Kuraishi. The film evolves around events in a young boy's life which seem to scar him enough to give him a personality disorder. Is he Vasu, Ravi or a royal in the line of Raja Raja Chola? The film attempts in a highly convuluted manner, to answer these questions. A medical thriller, a heist story,  with love and action elements many tracks are introduced along the way. Produced by Udhaya with him in the lead role, the various tracks though interesting, are marred by the loud shouting and literally running around in circles in the first half. With the presence of Prabhu, the second half picks up. There are some lovely visuals of Kodaikanal. Udhaya gets ample scope to show his histronics in multiple get ups. His son Jaeshan does a good job playing the hero as a child. But the treatment of the story is so over the top, ( in one part, a heroine is planning to go to ...

by Rinku Gupta Actor Nakul seems quite upset over the release of his film. At the press meet held today he said, "We have been ready for several months with our film. We were supposed to release in December 2017 but we didn't get a date. Now we  got the release date letter from the producer council for Nov 16th. But now we hear that from the promised 150 screens theatre count , it may become less, to almost half. We have been promoting in Kerala and having just returned when we have got this news. The 150 we were banking on will now get halved because Vijay Antony's Thimiru Pudichavan may be releasing on 16th, despite not  having a clearance letter from the Council.  Our film has been waiting for release for a long time.  The producer Mannu is from Kerala and we look forward to new producers investing here. Such setbacks  are upsetting for any producer. Anyone will think twice  before investing here if things like this happen.  All  films sho...

by Rinku Gupta Billa Pandi as the name implies is about  a character by that name ( RK Suresh) who is a huge fan of Ultimate Star Ajith Kumar. The man is a good hearted person keen on following the ideals of his idol Ajith. Hence he even takes on the moniker Billa to his name.

The film, directed by Kranthi Prasad, is set in a jungle where supernatural events take place in a saga of revenge and greed. The story revolves around 4 pairs of boys and girls who go on a trip to a house in the middle of a forest. There they encounter a ghost, seeking revenge on one of them, for past misdeeds of his forefathers. Do they come out unscathed forms the story. The director has added in bits about yoga, the power of meditation and spirituality in controlling destiny and evil forces, via one of the characters  in the film. The youngsters have tried to show a sense of bonhomie in the situations provided by the script. However, the CG attemps leave much to be desired and the story seems predictable, with some situations looking forced and the attempts at comedy and horror,  weak. The message he has tried to convey seems interesting but could have been handled differently to make it entertaining.
