Lubber Pandhu (2024)
Unique storyline that entangles sportsmanship with a family drama!
A well done sports drama cum family drama. A very unique innovative script. Story is set in a rural place n revolves around gully cricket accompanied by a family drama. Uniqueness of the movie is the way they have entangled a family drama with sportsmanship. A simple sweet storyline that embeds sportsmanship, love for the gully cricket, ego clash vs 2 love stories, very well executed. Anybody would instantly like the movie. Any sports lovers would easily love this drama definitely. Originally a Tamil movie dubbed in all languages including Hindi dubbed. Available in Disney HotStar, my ratings is 8/10!
Golam (2024)
A well executed suspense thriller!
A well executed suspense thriller. Story revolves around a death in the office during working hours which only the investigative officer believes to be a murder while rest all presume it to be a natural death. Basically entire movie is a crime investigative thriller. Execution is straight to the point n keeps one engaged throughout guessing why n how was it executed with no traces of evidence. However, though it's an average script, execution of the same is neat n captivating. A decent one time watch. Story leaves with a hint that it will have a sequel. Originally a Malayalam movie dubbed in all South Indian languages including Hindi. Available in Amazon Prime, my ratings 6.5/10!
Don't Move (2024)
A very short decent survival thriller!
A crisp, decent survival thriller! Story revolves around how a lady fights to survive herself when she gets caught by a sexual predator who injects her with paralytic injection n leaves her helpless. Movie is just about 1.5 hours n is very straightforward without any beating around the bush. Within very first 5 mins, plot gets set. Though first half was intense, I felt second half was plotted very conveniently in favour of the victim. However, a very short one time watch. Avilable in Netflix in Hindi dubbed. My ratings 6/10!

Meiyazhagan (2024)
Another masterpiece by Premkumar post 96 movie!
Such feel good movies can only be directed by Prem Kumar. This is his another masterpiece post 96 movie. What an amazing way of storytelling with a story within a story pulling in so many past memories just in words n conversations emoting range of emotions. I was wonderstruck at his last time 96 n now this. His movies are generally very slow burner but very impactful n emotionally appealing. This story revolves around a 40 yrs young man visiting his hometown after having abandoned it for 22 yrs n then coming across a man of his past n incidents that revolve around them. I wished this movie not ended. Karthi steals the entire show. Originally a Tamil movie dubbed in all South Indian languages including Hindi. Available in Netflix, my ratings 9/10! May be deducting one point because it ended n felt like it abruptly ended.
Do Patti (2024)
Below average movie!
So claimed thriller mystery genre but I personally found it a very dull affair. The entire story revolves around showcasing hostility between twins n intends to highlight against domestic violence. All one gets is bland acting with no much sensible storyline n poor direction. There could have been much impactful storyline to address domestic violence. Nothing in the movie that holds one's attention n there's no emotional depth in any characters. Available in Netflix dubbed in couple of South Indian languages along with Hindi! My ratings 5/10!

Stree 2: Sarkate Ka Aatank (2024)
A total fun ride!
This sequel is total fun to watch from start to end. Story starts with girls getting abducted n haunted in Chanderi village n Vicky has to again save village with the help of Stree. Though story doesn't have any such jumpscare horror elements or any intense horror storyline, yet what makes it unique is its execution. It's a treat to watch as comedy horror. The idea of clubbing ichchadhari Bhediya with Stree was fantastic. Rajkumar Rao n Shraddha Kapoor are too good in lead roles. Available in Amazon Prime, my ratings 7/10!

1000 Babies (2024)
Average show!!
A psychological crime thriller series! Story revolves around a nurse who exchanges babies for years as a head nurse n then followed by serial killings. It is long, slow, gets uninteresting at lots of places. It takes complete 3 episodes to understand the plot of series n what gets revealed in 3rd episode is interesting n unique but however series instead gets deviated n ends up being anther serial killing series. A totally average show. Originally Malayalam series dubbed in all languages including Hindi with about 7 episodes of 40 mins average time each. Available in Disney HotStar. My ratings 5/10!
Sweet Bobby: My Catfish Nightmare (2024)
A spine chilling documentary!
Catfish nightmare - imagine someone going through it for as long as 10 years! What a mental turmoil it must be for the victim!! Catfish is a term used when one gets the other victimised by luring them into a relationship by portraying identity of someone else on social platform. This 1 hr 22 mins documentary revolves around the real life story of Kirat Assi from London who was victimised for 10 long years systematically until 2015. It is difficult to even realise the amount of emotional turbulence this lady might have gone through. When real marriages are difficult to stand for 10 years these days, in that era a lady dedicating her 10 yrs for a virtual person, oops!! This is definitely a spine chilling documentary which keeps one completely engrossed. Available in Netflix dubbed in Hindi as well. My ratings 8/10!
Level Cross (2024)
Brilliant way of storytelling!
A psychological thriller genre that makes the best of it. The entire story does have only 3 characters. Story revolves around a so claimed gate keeper of a level crossing deserted land. There unexpectedly jumps a lady from moving train ends up taking shelter at his place. There follows a jugglery amongst viewers to decide who is psychotic. What is unique about the movie is brilliant way of storytelling! A very slow burner which is apt to the storyline. Even the location at which entire film is shot is picturesque. Originally a Malayalam movie dubbed in all South Indian languages including Hindi. Available in Amazon Prime n my ratings 8/10!
Maanaadu (2021)
A time travel thriller!
I've seen quite a few time travel movies but this one is a time travel loop movie that stands out for its unique storyline. Story revolves around a common man n a police officer who are looped in time travel which constantly keeps repeating with different versions surrounding an attempt to murder chief minister. Though first few mins is quite slow, storyline is engaging n interesting. Climax looks like a little rushed. Though Execution is good yet it's not one among those movies which leave an impact post watching. One time good watch. Originally a Tamil movie dubbed in all languages including Hindi n available in Sony LIV. My ratings 6.5/10!
Keshu Ee Veedinte Nadhan (2021)
Average comedy movie!
A comedy entertainer! Story revolves around a man named Keshu who faces unexpected problems when he wins a 12 crore lottery ticket. Quite a decent comedy movie that can be enjoyed with family. However story had potential to be a much better comedy content but not utilised to its best. Originally a Malayalam movie, Available in HotStar in all South Indian languages including Hindi dubbed. My ratings 6/10!

CTRL (2024)
Portrays dark side of evolving AI technology!
An eye opener thriller about digital world! Story revolves around a girl named Nella who comes in grab of an AI powered digital assistant which takes full control of her personal life. It is centred around the repercussions of internet, AI, AI powered deep fake voice, deep fake images etc. It is definitely a unique movie that alerts if we are prepared for the AI tech n the speed with which it is evolving in our lives. It's less of an entertainer but more of an educative movie. However, it's superficial n transactional movie while it could have been more intense n exemplary though it's no doubt new kind of a movie. Ananya Pandey has definitely done a decent job. Available in Netflix. My ratings 6/10!
Saripodhaa Sanivaaram (2024)
Outdated masala action movie!
Out n out masala action movie. Story revolves around a man trying to fight for the weaker sections of the society by hitting goons on every Saturday as promised to his mother. Story isn't anything new n movie is very long n climax isn't upto the mark. Also storyline looks very outdated n there's absolutely no law n order. Available in Netflix in all South Indian languages including Hindi. My ratings 5/10!

Nayattu (2021)
True depiction of current political affairs!
A Malayalam thriller that was released in 2021! Story revolves around Nayattu-Hunt for 3 innocent police officers who will be framed in a false murder case for caste appeasement politics by corrupt officers. It depicts the true picture of politics. Climax isn't any happy ending instead it ends with denial of justice. As usual, Righteousness takes backseat. It is a slow burner, could have been better yet. Available in Netflix. My ratings 7/10!

Kumbalangi Nights (2019)
A decent slow boring feel good movie!
Quite an average decent feel good movie. Story revolves around 4 disagreeing brothers of very disintegrated family background making efforts to come united to help each other. Not sure why it was listed as a must watch Malayalam movies of all times everywhere but I found it just a decent timepass movie with good visuals. Though storytelling is good, yet I found entire first hour boring n mostly every scene narration is very slow. Watched in Amazon Prime with the help of sub titles. My ratings 6/10!

Ullozhukku (2024)
A very practical n realistic storyline!
A movie that I waited for long to get dubbed in other languages n finally ended up watching in Malayalam itself with help of subtitles. I personally loved the movie though it may test one's patience greatly. The entire story revolves around in depth relationship between a woman n her mother in law. A relationship which is covered by hidden lies, deceit to each other. Storyline is quite practical n realistic. By accepting each other's blunders n forgiving, both appeal as strong women. This movie demands main leads to portray lots of emotions in their acting n both Urvashi n Parvathy have done justice to their roles. Available in Amazon Prime. A reminder again about it being very slow but I liked the content, acting n message n here I rate 7/10!
#Home (2021)
If you have forgotten to love your home n family, watch this!
This movie tops out of all the light hearted feel good movies. This even won national award n totally deserves it. The story revolves around a family n the family head, Oliver Twist trying to establish n strengthen his bond with his children through a smartphone. The first 30 mins of the movie takes time to establish pitch for the storyline n the last one hour particularly is fantastic. It triggers the chords of emotions with a right intensity at right places. None of the scenes looks absurd or senseless n one liner humorous dialogues are indeed appealing. Strongly highlights the importance of HOME n family where one tends to be always imperfect n doesn't get judged. A big kudos to the entire team for creating this! Originally a Malayalam movie dubbed in all South Indian languages along with Hindi available in Amazon Prime. My ratings 10/10!
Sector 36 (2024)
A creepy disturbing movie based on real events!
A very creepy n disturbing movie based on real incidents. Story revolves around true incidents of Nithari killings that took place between 2005 n 2006 wherein a servant along with his master kidnapped 25+ children, raped, cut in into pieces n organs sold. This movie had immense opportunity to make the execution very thrilling n frightening. However yet, it will keep one engaged throughout. Disturbing to know so many spooky people around n feels ashamed to know the real picture of our law n governance. Vikrant messy has done a decent job. Available in Netflix in all languages. My ratings 7/10!!
Music Shop Murthy (2024)
An average movie that is not very appealing
The story revolves around a 52 yr old man who holds a music shop being extremely fond of music n is compelled to learn DJ to make good income for family at that age. Slightly inspiring average film. Doesn't bore n tries very hard to be a feel good movie but not that appealing. Available in all South Indian languages along with Hindi in Amazon Prime. My ratings 5/10!

Bheema (2024)
Pathetic direction!!
Had to stop it after watching for an hour. Not sure how did this film even become a hit. A very disengaging direction. Story revolves around drug trafficking n its widespread impact amongst youngsters. Execution is so bad I couldn't bear it post an hour. It's more like a tapori movie with very bad dialogues and pathetic songs. Available in Amazon Prime. My ratings 2/10!

Kill (2023)
A fantastic action crime thriller ever made!
Intensity, tension, thrill that this movie offers throughout is unbeatable. A brilliant action crime thriller! Story revolves around how the train to New Delhi turns as a battleground when a bandit, group of very violent thieves attack travelers in train n then sets up an intense fight between 2 commandos traveling in that train vs these 40 bandit thieves. The title of the movie is so so apt that when commandos will be hitting theses dacoits, it will constantly be running in mind as kill kill.. Action scenes have been shot so well that one gets completely absorbed in them. Entire movie is shot in the train n right from beginning to end, it's like one unending action fights saga. Few action scenes are so appealing that I was constantly getting butterflies in my stomach. Lakshya as a commando n Raghav Juyal as one of the prime dacoit are fantastic in their roles. Definitely must watch. Action lovers would definitely feel like watching this movie again n again. Available on Disney HotStar. My ratings is 10/10 for the wholesome entertainment this movie offers.
Kavaludaari (2019)
A decent crime thriller!
A suspense crime thriller 2019 Kannada movie that definitely stands true to its genre. Script is definitely good n execution is fairly okay. Story revolves around a traffic police who is interested working in crime branch n meanwhile, under a flyover construction, few skeletons of 40 years get revealed which this man secretly starts investigating. This is the first movie of Rishi that I'm watching n he is too good in his character. The second half is really good while I was struggling to hold my interest in first half. The climax is fairly decent n the suspence revealed post climax is also good. However, it's a little slow burner n lengthy. Available in Amazon Prime. This is remade in Telugu n Tamil as well. My ratings 7/10!
Raayan (2024)
Raayan character is a cult
What an outstanding movie! Doesn't let you bore even for a minute. Scores full for entertainment quotient. Story revolves around the eldest brother who throughout tries to safeguard his siblings. Unfortunately, climax is sad, disturbing n disappointing. This story makes you realize how fragile every human relation is n at the end, how all exhibit self-centric selfish behaviour. Raayan's character is like a cult played by Dhanush. What an extraordinary acting by Dhanush! I was even more suprised to know this movie is written n directed by Dhanush himself. Fantastic direction! Strongly recommend one to watch this. Available in all South Indian languages including Hindi in Amazon Prime. My ratings 9/10!
Moorane Krishnappa (2024)
An outdated way of storytelling!
Good movie with a positive message. Storyline is about the last minute struggles to get the chief guest to a temple inauguration by a village panchayat political leader to get himself highlighted for upcoming election. But execution is boring with an outdated way of storytelling. A low budget movie with a predictable story. Available in Amazon Prime. My ratings 5/10!

Munjya (2024)
A kid's horror movie
Second horror comedy genre of the year post Kakuda movie. Story revolves around a young man Bittu n a young boi turned Munjya brahmarakshas after his untimely death. It starts with a good intensity n maintains similar momentum for the first half n turns complete mess in the second half. A completely missed opportunity. It's more like a horror comedy for kids but definitely not for adults. Kakuda was way better a movie than this. Available on Disney HotStar. My ratings 6/10!
