Ayodhi (2023)
Excellent movie with emotional storyline.
Finally Sasikumar has picked a good movie after a long time. Engrossing story filled with emotions and focus on humanity.
Lots of practical aspects touched and while the story is sad but the way it is told makes you fulfilled.
The actress who has portrayed the daughter has done a great job just by her expressions. Sasikumar generally does good work portraying common man roles and has done a nice job.
While portraying all the challenges of bureaucracy the story also brings out humans within the system, and touches upon the male chauvinisms Imbibed within religion and culture.
Overall a good movie to spend evening with.
FIR (2022)
Higher expectations but slightly disappointed
There were twists and turns. But had higher expectations on the storyline with Vishnu Vishal and Gautam in key roles. Later half the story felt flat and didn't leave a good taste.
Kadaisi Vivasayi (2021)
Amazing movie..
Movie which captures the life of a self reliant farmer. Director and cast have brought the rural life with no filters. Vijay Sethupathi role doesn't add much value to story but probably helps grab some viewers.
Real hero is 80 year old farmer who is also a real farmer in life.
Writer (2021)
Gripping story with attention to detail
The director and team has taken us inside the police station and captured every little bit of a Indian low level cops life.
The more movies I watch of Samuthurakani, the respect for him as an actor and ability to choose the right movies impresses me. His character reflects all the small emotions and fight goes inside good cops (however small that might be).
The pressure on cops to close cases and their as their matter of fact ways of forging cases is a reflection of Indian police stations.
Definitely worth watching.
Annaatthe (2021)
Way beyond use by date.. Horrible first half
Used to love Rajini movies, even if he has been way beyond his retirement age, none of his other movies were this bad. He looks artificial and they should probably use animation character going forward.
And then as the first half went by, we couldn't bear to watch. Jokes with Kushboo and Meena were simple drags and worse than even a boring YouTube skit.
Second half was OK, with typical Rajini movie storyline.
Eeswaran (2021)
The hyped up scenes of Simbu are comedy gold
Change the genre to comedy and I can raise 2-3 stars. Simbu's over hype in his entry felt more like comedy than hero entrance. Not sure when he will learn and grow up.
Cuando los ángeles duermen (2018)
Good movie and shows a practical side of human mind
The movie is about a guy who makes a mistake and how he overcomes it.
In most movies you might see hero doing something extraordinary, but this movie shows what happens in real life.
Petta (2019)
Movie had all Rajini style shows with lots of immaturity
Felt like watching a movie with third rate stars, despite appealing to Rajini fans the movie felt very amatueurish.
The storyline is probably same for several hundred movies based on revenge. Only difference being it is set in a college campus. Thankfully Rajini is not a student.
Rajini's character was overtly arrogant and gloating and was irritating after a point.
Climax twist was a joke. Other good actors like Vijay Sethupathi, Sasiskumar etc have performed in muted performance not to overshadow Rajini.
