Sarpatta Parambarai (2021)

Forget Toofaan, Watch this piece of gem

[9/10 · 23 July 2021]

I had zero expectations with the second boxing film SARPATTA PARAMBARAI premiering on prime video after Toofaan which was an average predictable film as people say, and I gotta say I'm really impressed. Runtime of 2h53mins really scared me, but I took my time and really endulged into this film. Not a single segment of the runtime bored me and I watched this in one go. The editing is off the charts, I can't fathom how much of footage had to be cut short to fit in the long runtime. Especially the 'fall of Kabilan' segment which was like 15 mins but they showed a storyline which would have been a while other film. Arya gives his career best performance and I was really impressed also Pa Ranjith the director, although I haven't seen enough of their films. Taking inspiration from major boxing films I love how the ethnic and cultural phenomena is the basis of the film which amplifies the north chennai Tamil 1970s era. I gotta watch Madras now. That's been on my list for too long.

PS Dancing Rose really stole the show

I can't help but think what an experience a theatrical release would have been. Definitely a must watch💯

The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It (2021)

Mediocre

[6/10 · 4 June 2021]

Nobody: Literally Nobody: Lorraine: (feeling a demonic presence) Something terrible has happened here.

Definitely weakest of the trilogy and nowhere near to the first two films. This has only a handful of horror elements. Although I had very low expectations considering JAMES WAN will not be directing it due to (cough) Aquaman. A very mediocre thrill time worth watching if you're a fan of this universe.

Kajillionaire (2020)

No.

No.

Oh god please no. This is the most boring I've seen this year. Had 5 "what the f is goin on?" moment.

Watched it for Evan Rachel Wood and all the postive reviews. But no.

Ugh.

Ford v Ferrari (2019)

Bale outshines his character as Miles

[10/10 · 16 November 2019]

Honestly I went to watch this movie with zero expectation and knowledge of the plot. The film is a history of Le Mans '66 told with a thrill ride from Bale and Damon with stunning visual racing scenes. James Mangold has done a fantastic job as a director. Worth the watch in a movie theater.
