R.Balki produces this film that is written and directed by Jagan Shakti. Mission Mangal as the name suggests is about “Mangalyaan” the path breaking Mars mission by ISRO that dumbfounded world at large because of its many “Firsts”.

COMALI is produced by Vels Film International and is written and directed by Pradeep Ranganathan. The film got its pre release hype because of the controversy surrounding Rajinikanth. The premise of Comali is a little interesting; forget the inspirations from films abroad or the countless reference to it in many many movies here. Sadly here, it just stays interesting partly and otherwise it is mostly … Continue reading Comali (2019)

The intention is in total contrast to what’s happening on the screen. And if that’s not enough you have another story meandering aimlessly within this story that has no bearing to the main plot. … Continue reading Jackpot (2019)
Mythri Movie Makers produce this film. Bharat Kamma is the writer and director and it’s a multilingual keeping in mind Vijay Devarokada’s huge popularity. The story of DC is concoction of a disparate ingredients and while that’s interesting it doesn’t really balance well. The time and again reminiscing of the hero’s mass image means you get longish fight scenes. The politics in the movie is … Continue reading Dear Comrade (2019)
Producer S. Raj Narayanan of CircleBox Entertainment has produced this movie that is written and directed by Johnson K. Okay, Tamil cinema of late has tsken “comedy” to plunging depths.
