This village native story started off well, though it's partially engaging, the series turns boring. Non-conclusive climax makes it much worse for the audience, to invest their time.

Virupaksha

# Virupaksha - A spine-chilling horror mystery thriller. I feel this genre of film is missing in Telugu for more than a couple of years. After a goosebumps start, the film goes on a bit slower pace for the characters' introduction, however, once the key conflict starts it hooks with stunning visuals, accompanied by arresting BGM in the initial half. And the latter half gives multiple adrenaline rush moments and keeps you on your seat edge till the end. Acting wise the lead pair was decent in their roles, but the support case was dam brilliant. Cinematography & BMG are 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Artwork to present it as a Vintage film is very appreciable Though this film's story is good, it's not completely new. However, its screenplay makes it a dam brilliant one, kudos to Sukumar. Though some twists are expected, you can't guess all of them. Direction by Karthik Varma Dandu is very good in presenting this vintage horror film as a mysterious thriller. However, the emotional scenes (especially in the climax) could have been handled better to bring great emotional depth to the film. Final Word: Don't miss this experience on the big screen.

Aamis - A must watch masterpiece. This weird love story starts on a simple note, but the story takes a weird direction in a psychological way and ends on mind f**king note. Brilliant direction & pleasant narration makes this weird plot point movie an engaging one. Note: This movie is not for regular film lovers.

K.G.F: Chapter 2

#KGF-Chapter2- A theatrical must-watch Epic Monster Blockbuster 🔥🔥 This Prashant Neel film has a strong emotional story, which he backed with mind-blowing action sequences & elevations. I feel he is India's one of the most intelligent filmmakers, who can elevate the heroism even without the hero's presence, in multiple scenes and he blends in very well with the emotions and make the audience hooked to the drama. His brilliant non-linear screenplay makes the simple story into an interesting film. The introduction of Rocky & Adheera, along with all action episodes are epic. This film shows a clear path of how directors should handle multiple antagonists. Generally, all good films will have a few goosebump moments, but this monstrous film is filled with all goosebump moments. I felt the only drawback is the romantic track which is not up to the mark. Rocking Star Yash is terrific as Rocky, his attitude mesmerized throughout the film. His presence & energy in every frame are outstanding. All the supporting characters did a great job, out of which Sanjay Dutt, Raveena Tandon, Archana Jois & Rao Ramesh stand out and even Prakash Raj's voice modulation is a standout. This film has a masterclass Editing by Ujwal Kulkarni brings a lot of intensity & thrills to this action drama. The cinematography by Bhuvan Gowda has a unique dark theme which reminded me of DC films. Especially the climax potion shots in the ocean will stay in the audience's hearts for while. The BGM & Music by Ravi Basrur is rocking. Final Words - This film is flooded with adrenaline rush moments.

Vikram- This Lokesh Kanagaraj's gangster film is a buffet feast of Action, Emotion, Suspense & Thrill. Having 3 fantastic star performers in the film & cameo by another start actor, I still felt the whole movie completely belongs to the Director.     There are multiple whistle-blowing high moments in the film. An ultimate high moment comes from the unexpected character and all the high moments are well crafted as part of the story. The first half of the film has an intellectual narration that if you miss a few moments of it, you can't understand where the movie is heading at times. Though the latter half majorly runs on Hero vs Villain conflict, it has its spine thrilling moments. Fahadh Faasil got the meaty role in the film, which he delivers in his style. Vijay Sethupathi impresses as the lead antagonist. Ulaganayagan Kamla Haasan, as usual nails the performance in the given character. His swag & presence is felt throughout the film, though his screen time is less compared to other leads. The ideology of  Vikram's character is more powerful than the character itself. Music & BGM by Anirudh elevates the film to the next level. In the Telugu version at times, few words are not so clear because of sound mixing. The action choreography by Anbariv is stunning. The high-octane action episodes are beautifully designed to look rustic & realistic, which makes them more special to watch on screen. Cinematography by Girish Gangadharan has a dark theme like Batman films which impressed me, however, it's way too dark at times. The Writing & Direction of Lokesh for this film is good enough to create a universe of drug mafia-based films. The way how naturally he connects the dots with Kaithi's(2019) plot mesmerized me. The best part of his writing is with multiple stars in the film, he never let any one of them come out of character or story.  The last shot of the film redefines the film's theme "Once up on a time, there lived a ghost". Final Word - A brilliant action thriller & a tribute to Kamal Sir by his fan(Lokesh).

After decently premise, this film heavily suffers with poor direction and heavy twist which irritates one after another. Last 30 min is unwanted extension which irritates to the core

Viduthalai: Part I

2023

# Vidulada-Part1 - Though the engaging narration hooks, the core of the film is left for Part 2. Being a Vetrimaarans film, it has a very raw appeal, heart-touching emotions, highlights inequalities in the system, very good detailing of characters and premise, and realistic action blocks. However, I felt this film is majorly about introducing the characters & premise but holds the real conflict for part 2. The conflict of part 1 majorly runs in protaganist character trying to figure out the path he wanna choose, that too without knowing the consequences. Impressive Elements: Soori's brilliant performance, innocence & vulnerability in his eyes are highly impressive. Emotionally gripping narration & very well designed characters. Cinematography, especially the entire train episode which was short brilliantly in a single take. Promo at the end for part 2 is exceptional What I felt could have been better: Little more brief of why Praja Dalam opposing the mining project (I think it will be revealed in part 2) Though the songs are meaningful, it's comes as speed breakers for this intense film, at least in Telugu. Final Word: This films is good for its raw & hard hitting emotions and well-established premise for Part 2.

This film redefined the meaning of mass commercial films in Telugu. Nani, Keerthy Suresh & Shine Tom Chacko are outstanding in their roles. Though the initial half of films story reminds us of multiple film, only the later half revels the real plot of the film. Cinematography was dam good that even in very dark scenes, audience never misses the emotion of that scene. Songs and BGM good enough to evaluate the scenes, however some of the songs are kind of blockers to the story flow. The editing of the film is one of it's key savior. Though there are multiple abrupt edits that really makes those scenes soo crisp. The direction of film is fantastic, the way how he brief the premise and narrate the emotions till end is brilliant, however, his wiring has lot of scope to be better. The action choreography the end is truly 🔥🔥🔥
