It could be ironical that the movie that is most talked about this year might also have the most underrated performance in 2016. Dulquer’s performance in Kammattipaadam has not got its due. The shock when he hear the whipping sound through phone or the realization of the treachery during Ganga’s cremation – Dulquer brought out […]
Happened to watch Vijay’s Bairavaa the other day. What a truly inspirational and heartfelt story on how an ordinary collection agent of a bank ! He stands up against a big tycoon cum criminal College Chairman . He eliminates all the villains single-handedly . And he saves the careers of 1000s of students in the process. […]
Horror movies are often a risk compared to other genres because they do not attract families with kids to theaters.
