Even porn didn't make me cum as Karthik Subbaraj's films did. Loved every part of it.
I prefer not to speak, if i speak I'll be in trouble.
Chinna koothiyan annoying af in name of acting.
With clash of ideologies as it’s core, Karthik Subbaraj comes with quite an ambitious father son drama, that’s delivered with his trademark stylish execution, interesting plot point ideas, well layered character arcs, superlative cinematography and solid music. Though it misses out on his magic with screenplay and does turn predictable at places, it has numerous engaging and appealing moments to hold your attention. Vikram steals the show with his terrific performance, well supported by Bobby Simha, Muthukumar and Sanath. Dhruv gets a powerful role and does put in a great deal of effort, but somehow feels overdone and artificial. Though slow paced and inconsistent, it’s another promising unique story from KS that’s worth giving a try.
I'm not going deep into this. But Vikram is a terrific actor. He's brilliant, layered and enigmatic in terms of his role. Mahaan is a good film comparing to Karthik's previous film. But it's not upto his level. The film's about how an ideology changes a man's life and his family. The way the film handles tonal shifts and some meager problems in a mediocre way makes the film very weak. In terms of music, SaNa had done the score to be peppy as usual. The film's narrative made me feel confused, in a bad way. It's sometime irrelevant and incorrigible.
In terms of acting, Vikram is a beast,he's mind-blowing when he showcase his emotions. Next Bobby Simha did a…
Karthik Subbaraj excels in making but mid in writing. Performances are fine except Dhruv's. The emotional drama to let the film end could've have written it better.
There are flaws still somewhat decent and likeable.Sana's and Shreyas Krishnan's work is very impressive.
Too long, skip to last line uf you don't wanna read everything!
The film is infinitely long and painstakingly slow. And nope that isn't an issue when you have elements to engage with, which isn't the case here.
In the day where directors are struggling to create their identity, brand and signature, I'm happy in a way that Karthik Subburaj has established a niche for himself. Vintage cars, funky music, vintage colour grading, vintage cars, pop culture reference thrown at us in every single scene, all characters that are grey, poorly written or under written female characters, climax twists, guns, knifes, more and more violence... KS has really established himself as the brand that's Indian Tarantino.
But, I think that…
The greatest twist that Karthik Subbaraj has ever pulled is convincing the audience that this is superior to Jagame Thandhiram.
What the fuck happened to Karthik Subbaraj man. I was so hyped for this (I can blame nobody but myself for getting hyped over a trailer I'm a repeat offender now), but some parts were just painful to sit through. This had so much potential as well. The first act was coming up decent until Dhruv Vikram came in. If I may, his character is the film equivalent of an abortion. I don't know how else to describe it. I usually don't mind simping for hot dudes if they even do a half-decent job but this was just chest pain.
The technical aspects of the movie were brilliant. But that was it. The substance was shite. Most of the mass…
