As the plot  unravels, the four recruits find themselves outnumbered and helpless. Do they manage to save the public and their fellow cops from impending doom? Who are the  villains and why are they on a revenge spree? Atharvaa as the dynamic and quick thinking cop delivers a noteworthy performance. Ashwin Kakumanu has a meaty role which he delivers with a certain gravitas, his eyes reflecting the inner angst and steely grit. The duo both excel in the action blocks, which are superbly chorepgraphed all through. The camerawork is fantastic, capturing the goings on in the dimly lit slum quarter while the set design deserves mention. The well render...

Arjun Das in new avatar in Bomb!

Image
 Actor Arjun Das is one Kollywood artiste who has been growing from strength to strength in his career.  His mesmerising eyes, deep baritone voice and incredible acting chops made him an instant hit with  audiences and a favourite of directors who cast him as the menacing, gun- wielding,  brooding, unpredictable villain. But in Vishal Venkat's directorial, Bomb , releasing today on September 12th, Arjun Das has been given an opportunity to explore a different facet of his personality.  Cast along with the ever-impressive Kaali Venkat as his best buddy in the film,  Arjun metamorphosises into a diminutive, harmless, emotional and innocent character, battling his own mental demons, a far cry from his previous screen roles. His he finds his real strength is part of the story.   Arjun's quiet but impactful and  impressive performance in the film is noteworthy and will hopefully, open doors for directors to look at the potential to explore this...

Movie Review : Uruttu Uruttu

Image
 Chandru ( Gajesh Nagesh) is a happy go lucky lad, leading his life with his friends in a small town.  Due to a series of circumstances, a rich young girl ( Rithvika Shera ) who believes in showing wrong doers their place, comes into his life. The unsuspecting Chandru is drawn into her world, with tragic consequeces. What is the reason she befriends him? What happens next? The film which is supposedly a comedy, judging by the second half, doesnt seem sure of what exactly it is trying to get at. The climax portion comes as an utter shock. Questions like what gives anyone the right to take such drastic measures as the girl does, come to mind.  In many scenes she is shown trying to seduce him.  It's therefore confusing as to what her intentions were all along.  The scenes with motta Rajendran and his three wives hardly draw any laughs and seem more designed  to titillate in the name of humor. Characters come and go and the screenplay seems to meander aimlessl...
