  Veera Dheera Sooran: Part 2 2025

  ★★★½ Watched 27 Mar 2025

  an exhilarating yet flawed action thriller that thrives on its gripping tension and atmospheric storytelling but falters when it leans into convention. Director S.U. Arun Kumar throws us straight into the thick of the action, crafting a world that feels rich with history, where every character shares an unspoken past. The film’s Part 2 title isn't because it's a direct sequel but rather a narrative device—implying that we are stepping into an ongoing saga, where the past is felt rather…

  We Live in Time 2024

  ★★★★ Watched 13 Dec 2024

  A Beautiful, Heartbreaking Love Story

  John Crowley’s We Live in Time is not about grand romantic gestures or sweeping melodrama. It’s about the weight of the ordinary, the ephemeral beauty of a quiet life shared, and the ache of knowing that every moment—good or bad—ends too soon.

  Anchored by Andrew Garfield and Florence Pugh, two actors with more chemistry than the periodic table, the film charts the love story of Tobias and Almut. Their connection begins absurdly—a car accident in…
