Three Kings (2011)
The 3 kings fail to conquer!
20 minutes of the new V.K.P. movie,i decided to step out for a smoke.And its not quite often i do such a thing(i don't usually like missing a minute of screening)
Despite being the remake of the popular Bollywood flick Dhamaal,'3 kings' is brutally boring. With no such thing as a screenplay,the movie is packed with rotten jokes that I'm sure they took some time to dig up. Along with the trio is the dullard comedian Suraj who adds to the torture.Ann Augustine i found to be thoroughly irritating with her lame jokes.The climax was quite that of V.K.Ps' previous movie GULUMAAL(which again was a remake of Abhishek Bachchan starer Bluffmasters.) The songs however weren't all that horrifying.
The movie i'd say is not even worth the 1 star that it has earned in the critic reviews.THE 3 KINGS SHOULD BE BANISHED. I'd suggest you pour yourself a drink and sit at home rather than watch this movie.
Cheers!
Urumi (2011)
Urumi,quite not sharp.
Urumi is quite not sharp! I'd say the cinematography is what bought Urumi the 5 votes i give it,that too with shots shamelessly stolen from Mel Gibsons'Apocalypto & DI(digital intermediate)from 300 and a few others(even that going overboard),Urumi proves to be nothing more than a hyped flick.With a promising thread as it may sound,the movie slogs due to major flaws in the script.The climax quite missed a WOW and the stunts weren't all that great.The styling factor was quite impressive though. Prithviraj i found to be a pumped up stale-face doll keyed to walk around with Prabhu Deva who heavily overdoes the comedy.However,Amol Gupte,Jagathy Sreekumar,Nithya Menon have performed very well,and off-course not to forget "Princess Ayesha" stunningly performed by Genelia,proving herself to be an underused artist in the industry. The tracks by Deepak Dev are thoroughly enjoyable.Especially the one with Nithya Menon and Prabhu Deva.The Art was quite neat.
The movie as a whole was a good initiative and is totally tolerable as to a lot of recent movies in Malayalam.but if you are one o those pessimistic perfectionists' who uphold the 'NOTHING IS ENGINEERED PERFECT'theory would you have issues with Urumi.
