But their joy at making new friendsips and enjoying their school life is shortlived, when  suicide attempts and a death cross their paths. How do they sort things out?

The actors, well known You Tubers,  are well cast and give their best performances, which keeps one invested in the goings -on.  The director has kept the pace racy, and the style of making is trendy,  which keeps you hooked.  The way the management is shown,  laced with  tongue-in-cheek humor sans melodrama and preaching, is a refreshing change. The attempts to engage the stu...

Movie Review: Infinity

Image
 The Nataraj Subramanian aka Natty, Vidya Pradeep, Jeeva Ravi, Muniskanth starrer Infinity, directed by Sai Karthik, hits theatres on July 7th. When a series of killings take place,  from a young girl, to a writer and even a cop, a CBI officer  ( Natty) is called to unravel the case. His investigation takes him in circles and the plot gets thicker with not much hope of a solution. A mysterious caller adds to the suspense.  But as things get worse, a ray of hope emerges. Who is the killer and what was their  motive? Does justice prevail? Or is there more than what meets the eye? ( The film ends with a promise of a sequel..) Natty plays the officer in his usual confident style, with energy and panache. He brings the much needed dynamism to an otherwise rambling screenplay that takes a long route to get to the truth. Muniskanth as a,cop actually seems to be there for comic relief mostly. Vidya Pradeep in a brief but important role does  full justice. The other...
