Lollipop goes all pop and has twists and turns galore, but with no intellect in store. Eminently (mis)directed and disastrously scripted, this jawbreaker movie deserves to remain all wrapped up and tossed straight into the trash can.

'Sultan' struggles big time, gasping in search of a dependable premise, narrative and most of all, character. The film suffers from a severe identity crisis that doesn't let it decide what it would like to be all about.

One of those rare instances when you fervently wish there was a blackout for a few hours, when the popcorn all on a sudden tastes like a bitter brick inside your dry mouth and when the only sound that's familiar to you is 'Ugh', this apology of a movie makes you wish you were on a flaming jet heading for a shark infested sea instead.

Madhupal's film is blistering on account of its savagery, and is rich in sense and suggestions. Beneath the gore, beyond the gun shots, the film reaffirms an undying and exhilarating faith in the eminence of the human spirit.

'Thirakatha' is as much a poignant exploration of the whimsicalities of the human mind, as it is a solemn treatise on life.

Adayalangal is a biopic, that's excessively literal and strangely detached. It dwells on a subject that's quite complex, but never gets beyond scratching the surface.
