While the flashes of a directorial talent are very much obvious in Muhsin Parari's filmmaking debut, 'KL 10' fails to pull together its countless characters and shape itself into a coherent whole. Visually engaging without doubt, 'KL 10' for all the experimentalism in its execution makes a totally undemanding watch.

The overall sense of familiarity that pervades all through, is the primal weakness of 'Madhura Naaranga'. Exploring a long standing cinematic preoccupation - a love tale with few surprises in store - 'Madhura Naaranga' is certainly not the judicious viewer's cup of tea.

One does feel sorry to see a theme as this that had much potential going the bungled way. 'Acha Din' thus strikes us an intriguing premise that has been wasted on a lower-rung thriller drama that never brings in the bang. Seems like this good day isn't here to stay!

The composite emotional weather that the film sports makes it maddening and nurturing at once, rendering it an almost enigmatic feel. And it is this ethereal complexity that 'Kanyaka Talkies' inherently has, that makes the film singular.

Even with the least of expectations, 'Plus or Minus' is bound to let you down with its patchiness. Sadly there are just minuses around here and not a plus is anywhere in sight!

'Aashamsakalode Anna' is a bummer from the word 'go' and repels you with revolting sentimentality. The soppy slush that it builds up is ineffective to the core and the film finds it real hard to gain a firm foothold.

Very occasionally does a movie come along that almost makes you vow to stay off the screens for a few weeks, and this year, the one has finally arrived. I'd gladly go ahead with a no-star rating for this one, had it not been for a technical glitch that prevents me from doing so!

'Loka Samastha' is thus one of those films where there is plenty of bark, but with little bite. It's a tiring and uninspiring slog of a film that steadily falls apart from start to finish.

'Wonderful Journey' is one of the most misdirecting titles as yet for a film this year. Anything but wonderful, this is an absolute cinematic misadventure that will have you pulling out your hair strands in no time.

There is not much dramatic to be recounted in it, which is why 'Lavender' appears to be a movie that's all bones and less flesh and heart.

'Moonu Wicketinu 365 Runs' is a wholly wasted exercise that should have better stayed inside the cans. By unearthing it and presenting it before an audience in 2015, they have only managed to exhibit a fossil of a film that is a matter of discomfiture to all concerned.

'32aam Adhyaayam 23aam Vaakyam' clocks in at less than two hours and at the end, the lack of conviction stands out, all apparent. Though it steers itself clear of the genre cliches, '32aam Adhyaayam 23aam Vaakyam' fails to shake off the awkwardness and plasticity that makes it a leap to nowhere.
