Kaala

(Rajni’s review of my watching his film) – This movie is one fight scene filled with awesomeness and a couple of songs with the signature Thalaiva ishtyle surrounded by two hours of stereotypical useless static. As for the quintessential question, the answer is Kabali was better than this one; Thalaiva wouldn’t mind because Kabali is Rajni again. I watched this movie for one reason only. I do not know for how long Rajni is going to act and how many more times we will get to see the phenom with his signature moves on the silver screen. If you are of the high intellectual artistic movie types, please don’t watch it and crib. The movie does not require you. If you want to watch it purely for Thalaiva, then go ahead. The tickets will buy you.

Paramanu : the story of Pokhran

The story of how a perseverant scientist and his team withstood the state bureaucracy, the big brother clampdown approach of the US, the moles of the Paki ISI and any other hurdle thrown in their path to conduct a nuclear test, which put India on the same pedestal as other nuclear powers. Though there are so many apprehensions on John Abraham's acting prowess, when the man doesn't overact and does just what is necessary, the outcome is pleasantly nice. After Madras Cafe, this I feel is his next redemption. The movie also makes your heart swell with pride if you are an Indian by origin, which feat can be accomplished only if the story is told well. Abhishek Sharma has done a good job with that one. Do watch it.
