Skyfall Movie Review | Silentcritics.com

James Bond films have been in tow for the last 50 years and to commemorate the achievement, the latest edition of the franchise “Skyfall” gets released. To mark the event the story gets a bit serious this time around compared to the previous editions and also an important cog in the MI 6 team goes down memory lane in this latest film. Daniel Craig once again makes the Bond appearance with the style quotient which he has made it his own when he appears in a 007 film. Read More

Avan Ivan Movie Review | silentcritics.com

Director Bala’s latest release “Avan Ivan” turns out to be a complete disaster right from the beginning till the end. The movie is nowhere near to a trademark Bala film. Bala has ventured into a full comedy genre through this film but the so called comic scenes are very far and few and the little comic sequences fail to create an impact on the audience. Bala with his previous releases like “Pithamagan” and “Naan Kadavul” to name a few have created a huge hype and expectation on this film and this “Avan Ivan” doesn’t even meet 10% of the expectations which is really a sad scenario.

Ko Movie Review | silentcritics.com

K V Anand’s latest directorial venture “Ko” is a truly refreshing entertainer from the regular run-of-the-mill masala movies. It is refreshing in more ways than one with a story that is simple but at the same time gripping. The supporting screenplay moves the film at a racy pace and most importantly the acting by the lead actors make this film a treat to watch. K V Anand who was once a photographer seems to have taken the inspiration for the main protagonist’s role from his own life experience as the role is flawlessly structured into the scheme of things.

Thank You Movie Review | silentcritics.com

There was a period when it was raining gold at the box-office for Akshay Kumar but lately lady luck seems to be distancing herself from this versatile actor as his most recent releases have turned out to be box-office duds. “Thank You” which is Akshay’s latest release also seems to be another disaster at the box-office considering the fact the Anees Bazmee (the man who directed “No Entry”) has directed this film.

Yudham Sei Movie Review | silentcritics.com

Director Mysskin has once again proved that he belongs to a class of directors who carve a niche for themselves in the industry. With Yudham Sei, Mysskin has dealt beautifully with a theme that is not easy to experiment with. In fact the movie is a revelation with so much emphasis on scenes and situations rather than dialogues. The only sore point in the film being the item number between Ameer and Neetu Chandra which could have been avoided. Read More

Kaavalan Movie Review | silentcritics.com

“Kaavalan” was a movie that was a real test for Vijay outside the cinema arena. The movie was in turbulence with regard to its release and it was importantly a prestige issue for the actor to make sure that the film got released for Pongal. There were too many things said and read in between the lines and in the end the film finally managed to hit the screens on 15th Jan 2011 which has brought in cheers to his fans who were not sure whether the film would get released or not 24 hours back.

Ilaignan Movie Review | silentcritics.com

“Ilaignan” springs in a surprise for the viewers as it ends up being a film that has all commercial ingredients in it. The hero is down to earth and suits the character portrayed while the heroine is a homely girl and for the front benchers there is Namitha who has put on more weight and sizzles in costumes that are meant for appropriate reasons. Read More

Aadukalam Movie Review | silentcritics.com

“Aadukalam” which had expectation soaring has finally hit the screens and this movie undoubtedly is one amongst Danush’s best performance till date. Danush has lived in the character of K P Karuppu where the body language and his dialogue delivery dialect suits perfectly to the Madurai slang which has increased the nativity quotient of the film. Read More

Siruthai Movie Review | silentcritics.com

“Siruthai” which is the re-make of the Telugu Super-hit “Vikramarkudu” ends up being a huge disappointment. The movie has Karthi in dual role and in the female lead it has Tamannah Bhatia. The major lapse that this Siruthai carries on its shoulder is the weak screenplay which has apparently been tweaked to suit the taste of Tamil audience. Read More

Action Replayy Movie Review | silentcritics.com

“Action Replayy” reminds us of Robert Zemckis directed movie “Back To The Future” as the main highlight of this film is the time travel undertaken by Bunty (Aditya Roy Kapoor) going back 35 years and saving his parents marriage. The movie does not disappoint on the whole though there are places where one would have thought director Vipul Shah should have been more crispy in narration. Read More

Mynaa Movie Review | silentcritics.com

At the outset the movie looks like any other village based love subject with not so good looking actors in the lead. The movie did come in for lot of praise from Kamal Hassan, Director Bala and Udayanithi Stalin. “Mynaa” is definitely different from the run of the mill films. Director Prabhu Solomon who earlier made films like “King” and “Lee” has dealt with a subject which does leave an impact on the audience. Read More

The American Movie Review | silentcritics.com

“The American” is distinctly different compared to other movies of George Clooney. The man is defined as a heroic fighter who is precise in his work and secondly the man has a constraint that he must not fall in love and if he does fall in love it proves fatal for his lady love. George Clooney has played the role which requires subtle emotions to be displayed and especially in the opening scene when he is forced toshoot his girl friend he has proven his class with aplomb.

Komaram Puli Movie Review | silentcritics.com

Pawan Kalyan has given something to cheer about to his fans as this movie gives an opportunity for his fans to see him on screen after a gap of more than two years. In “Komaram Puli” he plays the title role in the character of a strict police officer. The movie is directed by S J Surya and the actor-director combination earlier gave the super-hit “Kushi” and the power star’s fans were hoping that the same magic will be repeated in this film also.

Boss Engira Baskaran Movie Review | silentcritics.com

Director M Rajesh after his successful debut in “Siva Manasula Sakthi (SMS)” has once again come up with a comic caper in “Boss Engira Baskaran” (Written as Boss (A) Baskaran). This movie has Arya in the lead and to give him company is Nayanthara. Santhanam who comes as Jeeva’s friend in “SMS” once again plays the same role here playing the friend of Arya. In terms of story there is nothing new compared to the director’s previous film. However, in terms of treatment given to the similar storyline there is definitely a slight difference which makes this film a watchable fare. Read More

Lafangey Parindey Movie Review | silentcritics.com

The movie is all about two individuals toiling hard in the basti of Mumbai wanting to make it big in their respective lives. Ill-fated luck would have it that one loses her eyesight while the other helps the blind person to achieve her dream in life. The storyline is simple, tried out time and again in various Bollywood flicks and out of which few attempts were successful while others sank without a trace. Read More

Naan Mahaan Alla Movie Review | silentcritics.com

Karthi Sivakumar riding high after his super-hit “Paiya” has joined hands with director Suseendran of “Vennila Kabadi Kuzhu” fame in this “Naan Mahaan Alla”. A movie with the same title was released way back in 1984 and had Rajnikanth in the lead. However, this present day film has no connection whatsoever with the 1984 film and both films are different and belong to different genres. The makers of this film had to acquire special permission from the producer of the 1984 film K. Balachander for using the same title. Read More

Vamsam Movie Review | silentcritics.com

Director Pandiaraj was brilliant in his debut film “Pasanga” which was really a refreshing change from the run-of-the-mill urban / rural love stories. Kollywood did take notice of the talented director and the movie was undoubtedly a super-hit. The next film from the same director did raise the expectations on how different is it going to be this time around considering the fact it also marked the debut of M K Arulnithi (who is the grandson of M Karunanidhi). The movie titled “Vamsam” is produced by Arulnithi’s father Thamilarasu who had produced “Gopura Vasalile” almost two decades ago. Read More

Despicable Me Movie Review | silentcritics.com

The movie begins with a discovery that a heist has happened in Egypt and as a result of the same the Pyramid of Giza goes missing which startles everyone.

Mankatha Trailer on 20th August 2010 | silentcritics.com

Ajithkumar who shed the “Ultimate Star” tag in the 49th film of his career titled “Asal” ended up being a miserable flop to say the least. Disappointed with the result, Ajith wanted to make his landmark 50th film truly memorable. Ajith joined hands with Gautham Vasudev Menon along with producer Dayanithi Alagiri and when the movie was in its scripting stage the actor decided to try his hands on Formula one racing circuit which delayed the project a bit and that did not go well with the director who backed out of the project. Read More

Aisha Movie Review | silentcritics.com

Sonam Kappor’s dad Anil Kapoor’s home production “Aisha” is more intent on making a style statement on the actress than making an impact on the satisfaction level of the viewers. The entire movie is concentrated on the different hair styles that Sonam Kapoor sports and the rich collection of stylish dresses that hits the viewers scene after scene. It is without doubt that Sonam Kapoor looks gorgeous in the movie but the main ingredient that a film needs in terms of a strong storyline supported by an able screenplay is missing badly throughout the film.
