Such a silly and a fun 2000s rom-com, Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson make such a good onscreen pair.

This is one of the most fun, funniest, batshit crazy and balls-to-the-wall action entertainer I've ever seen in Tamil cinema, my only gripe with this one was that the references were a little too much and too on the nose sometimes. I just know for a fact on the other hand that Ajith had a blast playing this character, man simply oozed charisma and style in each and every scene throughout the film.

*Padathula references illa bro, references la dhan padame irukku bro ommala* 🥵🔥

The Hindu propaganda goes crazy 😭

The courtroom scene has to be one of the best scenes ever filmed because the level of acting and the emotional portrayals of two very realistic, grounded and flawed characters played by Streep and Hoffman was incredible. The movie is so simple yet so powerful, heartbreaking and effective in what it does.

Finally got around to watch this movie after a long time, and my god was I blown away by the realism, the depth and the near perfect portrayals of rural Tamil Nadu and the people, culture and language down to the minute details. Mammookka once again is brilliant in his role as he effortlessly switches between Malayalam in one scene and having a mild dislike for Tamil cuisine and music to completely transforming into a local Tamil native in another, like man was acting like a chameleon here.

However my only gripe, as a Tamil speaking person was the use of a derogatory slur aimed at Tamilians by one of the Malayalam speaking characters where he calls Tamilians as 'pandi' or loosely translated to Tamil fools or morons, which didn't sit well with me but overall the movie is a breathtaking, stunning experience packed with great cinematography and visuals of the countryside and the realistic portrayals of everyday, mundane things that people do in daily life.

Man Paresh Rawal is fucking brilliant when it comes to comic roles, his comic timing is impeccable in films like this, Ready, Hera Pheri and many more.

Akshay Kumar, Paresh Rawal, Johnny Lever and Rajpal Yadav all steal the show in this classic which spawned several memes that are still in use today, though its climax is directly lifted from Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, which is yet another comedy masterpiece.

An absolute comedy masterpiece. Akshay Kumar’s impeccable timing and Paresh Rawal’s iconic portrayal of Baburao Ganpatrao Apte still hold up even after 25 years.

Easily Keanu Reeves' best role in his entire career considering that he had to play the complete opposite of who he is irl, and he nailed it to the T.

Decent attempt from Magizh Thirumeni and co. but personally felt Breakdown was better as it was rooted in nativity and the action sequences were more grounded in the original. There were some continuity errors during the stunt sequences which were quite obvious and the emotional scenes, including the background given for the antagonists didn't work well for me, felt that those could've been trimmed down for a more faster screenplay. Overall a watchable film and a comparatively better Ajith film among his recent films.

Why tf would you leave your wife to travel with a stranger like that alone bro like come on

Excellent film with brilliant storytelling, engaging screenplay, beautiful cinematography, wonderful background score and songs and fantastic performances from Sivakarthikeyan and Sai Pallavi, who holds her own against Sivakarthikeyan's acting and screen presence.

Both Sivakarthikeyan and Sai Pallavi have breathed life into the roles of Maj. Mukund Varadarajan and Indu Rebecca Varghese respectively which was powerful, emotional and heart breaking to watch. Kudos to Kamal Haasan, Sony Pictures and most importantly the director of this film Rajkumar Periasamy for this cinematic triumph.

Who knew scamming financial institutions would be my new favourite genre?

Great film with some excellent performances and a really cruel and heart breaking twist in the end.

This is without a doubt arguably the best Godzilla film I've ever seen, even better than most of the Monsterverse films. With a budget of 15 million dollars the crew of this film has churned out an absolutely epic masterpiece packed with amazing performances and incredible, jaw dropping visuals and a fantastic background score that is bound to give you goosebumps.

Special mention to the child actor for her incredible performance, the scenes in which she cries were heartbreaking to watch.

I went in to watch this one completely blind just expecting another run of the mill horror movie but boy was I proven wrong.

The movie is creepy, mysterious and even sad to watch and is shot in quite a unique way with all the fourth wall breaks that the protagonist makes. I also loved how it subverts the viewers' expectations by initially starting off as a horror film but then it presents a twist by becoming more of a psychological drama film portraying the lives and the relationship of two mentally disturbed individuals who bond over their mutual love for a TV show despite their differences and their backgrounds. The use of music, cinematography and the lighting was also great which lends to the overall mood of the film.

Decent movie, could predict the ending from a mile away though.

The film was fine until the last half an hour or so until they introduced some unnecessary scenes in the name of plot twist which really felt forced to me and felt like they had shoehorned those scenes in just for the sake of it. Meanwhile Kriti Sanon is undoubtedly the star of the show as she singlehandedly carries the film on her shoulders, her performances as the vulnerable and innocent Saumya was good though I felt like her performance as Shailee could have been even better as she didn't look convincing enough as the mischievous, bad twin to me. Kajol despite her limited screen time does a decent job while Shaheer did well as the antagonist. Overall the movie is worth a watch but it contains a scene depicting domestic abuse which goes on for a while which might be slightly triggering for victims of domestic abuse/SA.

It was fun, I liked it. The tornado sequences were awesome, props to the CGI department for doing a great job on that one.

First of all, WHAT THE FUCK DID I JUST WATCH 😭

The film is both equal parts disgusting and hilarious as it boasts some incredibly spectacular performances from both Demi Moore and Margaret Qualley who star as Elisabeth and Sue respectively, the cinematography however was the one thing that captivated me the most as it was incredibly compelling, creepy and even hilarious at times with the use of match cuts. Also all the Stanley Kubrick references throughout the film with homages to The Shining and 2001 to name a few were chef's kiss. Overall the film is definitely worth a watch, highly recommend.

This is without a doubt not only one of Zack Snyder's best but is also one of the most underrated and finest superhero movies of all time. Everything about this movie, including its dark and gritty atmosphere, the cinematography, background score, performances, characters is fantastic. The extended cut also features an in universe comic book storyline presented in an animated format which was also quite engaging and enjoyable to watch however this film is not for the faint of heart as it contains several graphic depictions of gratuitous sex and violence.

P. S: I also loved Jackie Earle Haley's intense portrayal of Rorschach, his hoarse voice and his acting, despite wearing a mask for the most part is enough to send chills down one's spine.

Malayalam cinema has delivered once again and how! Mammookka's menacing performance as the evil and terrifying Kodumon Potti is absolutely phenomenal! The film's cinematography and music are exceptional. Shooting in black and white was a genius move as it added depth and intensity to the film. This is one of the best folklore horror films that I have ever seen that will bring viewers goosebumps and will leave them speechless.

Such a beautiful, relatable, sweet, simple and heartwarming film with great acting performances from both the leads, it was nice to see a Tamil movie without any vulgarity or violence after a long time, hope we get to see more movies like this one.

Also the only downside for me was the film's length, I felt like that they could have trimmed it down by atleast half an hour or so.

Damn didn't know Alia could kick ass like that

Personally I found the movie to be quite decent, with the cast delivering solid performances. Rajinikanth stole the show with his signature screen presence as usual while Amitabh Bachchan was impressive, although the lip syncing issues with his dialogues were noticeable. Rana and Ritika delivered convincing performances in their roles.

The background score by Anirudh was exceptional, particularly in scenes featuring Rajinikanth. However my only gripe with the film were the repeated flashbacks to Dushara's character being assaulted and raped, which may trigger survivors of sexual abuse or make viewers uncomfortable in theaters with children.

A special mention goes to FaFa, whose outstanding performance provided much-needed comic relief. His versatility is impressive, effortlessly switching between roles like a chameleon. He shines as a talented actor who can play a quirky gangster in Aavesham, an honest cop in Vikram and a thisf with noble intentions like Patrick in this one.

Despite its predictable screenplay, the film is worth watching for Rajinikanth's iconic presence. Overall, it's an enjoyable experience, especially for fans of the superstar.

A beautiful and poignant romantic drama with great acting performances from both Nani and Mrunal Thakur. Special mention to the child who played her part wonderfully as the cute and innocent daughter of Nani's character in the film. Definitely worth a watch especially for the scene with Mrunal in the black saree :)

They don't make feel good family dramas like this anymore in Kollywood unfortunately :(

All of this could have been avoided had she known a little about how software works smh

With its intriguing premise, this movie could have been so much more entertaining, but in the end, it doesn't live up to the hype. With the exception of the first thirty minutes or so, the film's fast-paced screenplay, complicated plot, and multiple twists intended to make up for the screenplay's shortcomings are insufficient to keep moviegoers interested in the story. To be honest, the cast's performances were really mediocre and nothing special.

This review may contain spoilers.

Despite its nearly three hour long runtime the film has a tight screenplay filled with several action packed thrilling sequences and plenty of goosebumps worthy moments which are accompanied by the background score which is composed by Jakes Bejoy. SJ Suryah is in fine form once again as the scary psychopath Daya who is at loggerheads with Surya played by Nani who does a good job as the protagonist. The plot is nothing too extraordinary outside of the Saturday rule that the protagonist must follow and an interesting call back to an earlier scene towards the interval which I felt was a piece of good writing. Overall the film is worth watching for Nani and SJ Suryah's performances as well as for the action sequences and the soundtrack.

A nearly three hours long, fault predictable film with an average storyline filled with twists and turns and several references/nods to Tamil pop culture as well as pure fan service moments dedicated to fans of Vijay, Dhoni and CSK towards the climax. Vijay's acting as the protagonist is alright however it is his cringe worthy performance as the villain which is really excruciating and painful to watch. The editing choices used in the film are really shoddy and the VFX/CGI used in the film, especially during the flashback sequence, is really poor. The music too apart from the Whistle Podu track is really underwhelming. The performances of the ing cast too are nothing of note and the characters are largely wasted with most of them having barely anything useful to contribute to the film's storyline.

Overall, The Greatest Of All Time is a watchable entertainer that requires you to switch your brain off and suspend all belief if you're a casual movie goer however you're bound to be in for a ride if you're either a fan of Vijay's or CSK's.

It was a pretty good movie, I had a great time watching it, there were some funny scenes sprinkled throughout and the performances of the cast were generally good. Definitely worth a watch.

A simple, feel-good, slice of life comedy drama film that is filled with good performances all round despite its simple story. Also I loved how realistic the portrayal was of the characters who belonged to rural India and the cinematography of the film which beautifully captured the lives of the rural folk well.
