GODFATHER – MOVIE REVIEW GS Arts and First Clap produce “GODFATHER”. Debutant Jegan Rajashekar writes and directs this film. A supposedly action drama, the trailer generated some curiosity.

The “God” bit … Continue reading OH MY KADAVULE – MOVIE REVIEW

VAANAM KOTTATUM – MOVIE REVIEW Mani Ratnam’s Madras Talkies produce this film that is written by Mani Ratnam and Dhana. Dhana is MR’s protege whose earlier film was “Padaiveeran”.
