Glad I could be of help. :thumbs up

As for the movie, it's amazing isn't it? The trailers would have you thinking it's a movie based on cooking as a hobby/art and then the true revelation comes along! I chose not to read any reviews going in to watch the movie, and let the story take me along.

:) Now that you mention, yeah!
Should watch again. Just to be sure.

I liked that fact that kitchen sounds, every small one is captured. And more is told with silence and sounds than with dialogs.

Brilliant movie!

This is available on Hotstar in Telugu. Care to share a review of the film? Watched the trailer and couldnt decide if I want to watch it :)
Edit: Available here for a Rs 50 monthly subsciption.

Watched tamil movie Bhoomi in Hotstar. :Frustrati 0.5/5. That 0.5 goes to the Force Gurkha explorer that the hero drives.

Watched it when it came out in theaters, its a decent watch. The present day Surya in the movie gets grating sometimes but on the whole a good masala movie

It seems most major OTT guys refused to stream this movie due to some of its prickly references; only this new and unknown platform picked it up. What a tragedy it would have been had it remained unreleased!

I didn't know that. I imagined the reason Neestream picked it up was to ensure a popular movie (based on trailers) being released on their platform. To a lot of people including myself, this platform was unheard of till this movie.

Happy Republic Day 2021 to all.

A run of the mill story of an orphan who is a do-gooder and gets into fights with the bad elements of his village. He is asked to reform by the girl he falls in love with. The girl's family has indirectly affected his life when he was a young boy - no spoilers here.

Anyway, as always, the girl has two brothers one of whom is a drunk and the other a gambler and these two wasted superstars have taken a huge loan from a loan shark. The film then moves to the tussle between the hero and the loan shark family of thugs.

I have only one grouse with the movie. When the hero was not even engaged to the heroine who did not like him in the first instance, why did he need to get so involved with her family - bailing each family member out at every turn. He could have just moved on and the director could have found 2nd heroine to take the movie forward.

It is the last 15 minutes of the movie that will make your time worth. You spend 2 hours wondering why the hero is ruining his life for such a worthless set of in-laws.

As always, if you really have nothing else to do on this lazy Republic day and want to while away the hours, you may watch this movie. It is definitely not a must watch but will help you spend the hours away from all the drama happening around.

Off Topic

Soorarai Pottru joins Oscars under General Category in Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Director, Best Original Score and other categories. The film is now available in the Academy Screening Room.

Correction: Tamil movie "Master" drops on 29th Jan on Prime. Seems like it did not do all that well at the box office.
The Telugu theatre owners asked producers of "Krack" to postpone OTT release since business picked up as the movie turned out to be good time pass. AHA obliged and moved the release.
Guess same was not done for "Master" despite theatre owners requesting postponement of OTT release.


Oru Vadakkan Selfie on Hotstar, Malayalam with subs.

Saw this movie because Nivin. A selfie taken by an aimless hero turns his life around and gets him involved in circumstances he never envisioned.
Do watch. Good movie.

Watched it today, and it was really bad. The other Vijay, Sethupathi did hold my attention but the others were just there to over-act

I hapenned to catch the Malayalam movie ‘Athiran’ yesterday. Terrific acting as always by Fahad. There are some scenes in the movie that will make you cringe with disgust, such is the way the director had extracted performances from the cast. Loved it, though the last half hour disappear a bit unrealistic.

Pulikutthi Pandi(Tamil)- I felt that it is a story borrowed straight out of the typical 80’s revenge type movies and told to us in a fashion that doesn’t evince your interest. Watch if and only if you have nothing else to do.

Foreigner girl meets local boy. Local boy cant speak English. Indian culture trumps Western culture. Add in some more clichés and you get the gist of what this movie is all about.

Only saving grace for me is the easy going pace, and that a bike is shown as more than just a lump of metal.

I was expecting more from this movie, seeing the trailers.

Yeah, it was indeed clichés and clichés – completely different from the director’s next attempt (The Great Indian Kitchen). And I felt Tovino was struggling with the innocent good boy act :)
