  Vanangaan 2025

  ★★★★ Watched 16 Mar 2025

  I generally like the first half of Bala's films, where the characters are dynamic, sporadic, natural, and embedded with real-life personas, and the main lead with its own attitude and characterisation and their own ideological belief systems make us live in their world for the entire duration of the film.
  I liked every part of this film except the part which felt like it was forcefully injected to have Bala's usual ending signature style.
  Arun Vijay did a decent job…

  Officer on Duty 2025

  ★★★★★ Watched 15 Mar 2025

  one of the best commercial investigative crime psychological horror thriller ever made, IMO, this is the best commercial film ever came from the Malayalam industry, looks like this year also belong to them only.
  I haven't watched any of the lead actors' earlier films[except Virus but I vaguely remember it], but I was really amazed with his performance in this one, carrying that genuine officer's attitude with a touch of psychological trauma nicely portrayed, and he carries the entire film…

  Consider a company putting up an ad saying they’ve developed an app which is so aesthetic, and beautiful with very good UI/UX, but, in reality, the app does NOTHING, literally NOTHING.
  Or in other words, it does something that you don't get to understand it.

  Would you buy that app for a hefty price?

  Aesthetic/beauty = actors, actresses, grand sets, visual presentation

  Fighter 2024

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 26 Jan 2024

  I experienced it in the IMAX 3D and was surprised to see a good film from Bollywood.

  it was proud to see an Indian film made that could be compared with the likes of Top Gun.

  the plot was good, screenplay was good too, it also had love, emotions, and everything that one would expect in a typical Bollywood film, plus there are actions that are on par with Hollywood films which makes it a re-watchable as well.

  overall, it’s a not-to-be-missed kind of film for all ages.
