Reviews of Recently Released Movies (Part 4)

Iraivan

This is a movie about a serial killer who killed many women plus instigated another man to become a serial killer too. Some scenes are too graphic and I had to literally close my eyes. Jayam Ravi's role felt limited and he did not talk much in the movie. Rahul Bose also died midway. Nayanthara also came in only some scenes. In this movie, Rahul Bose is a psycho killer who kidnaps and kills women for no apparent reason. He is captured and put in a mental facility but escapes. Many of the hero's loved ones like for example the hero's best friend and also the hero's sister are killed which makes the movie sad. Even his best friend's wife, daughter and sister are also put in life- threatening situations which also further enhances the sad tone of the movie. Overall this movie did not meet my expectations. I would give it a 2/5 stars.

Mark Antony

This was an amazing movie, it had it all - science fiction, humor, action, suspense, romance. The story is about how Mark uses a time machine to bring his dead father back by calling him in the past and warning him about his death. The movie revolves around two gangsters and their respective sons. The role played by S J Surya as the son of one of the gangsters was phenomenal as some of the dialogues were beyond funny. There was also an iconic dialogue similar to the one in Manadu. In Manadu S J Surya says a dialogue which goes something like "Vandan, Suttan, Sethan, Repeatu", here in Mark Antony S J Surya said a similar dialogue which goes like "Naaney yelathayon mathe, marandhu, maari vandhirken." So overall it was a fun movie and I really liked S J Surya's acting and dialogues. I would recommend this movie to people who want to have a good laugh. I would rate this movie a 4/5 stars. 

Kick

This was a somewhat okay-ish movie. Not a great plot but watchable. The story was not compelling or innovative. The script could have used a bit more creativity I feel. Santhanam's acting was good but the story was plain - just two people working in different advertisement companies, have some kind of rivalry and then they fall in love and then break up and then weirdly get back together due to a pregnancy. I would rate this movie a 3/5 stars.

Books I Have Been Reading Recently (Part 10)

That Night by Nidhi Upadhyay I'm reading this book in a paperback format and have completed around 50 pages. The book is about four friends who played a game of Ouija while at college and a girl of their hostel died. Twenty years later someone is trying to mess with them even though they live in different parts of the world. Intriguing premise. And interesting writing style so far. I think I might like this book, let's see. The book is around 300 pages long. The Spanish Love Deception by Elena Armas This book is about Lina and Aaron Blackford - two colleagues who initially seemingly hate each other but somehow end up becoming each other's fake dates to some major events. I've read like 150 pages of this book so far and am finding it repetitive and boring as of now. Let's see how it goes. I might rate the book a 2/5 stars if the writing does not improve as the book progresses. Or if it improves, I might rate it 3/5 stars or 4/5 stars, let's see. Until now, the pa...

Restaurants That I Ate At Recently (Part 5)

That Waffle Place I have ordered from here before through online delivery platforms but recently I went and ate at their shop for the first time. They have quite a few branches I think. We went to the one in Alwarpet. We ordered their Frozen Hot Chocolate and Belgian Biscoff Waffle. I did not taste the frozen hot chocolate but the biscoff waffle was good although it would have been better if they added biscoff biscuit crumbles along with the biscoff spread. The place also had some games like jenga which kept us entertained. Overall, I would rate the place a 4/5 stars. Maison Indulgence We went to this place recently due to the Instagram hype that it has. But unfortunately, for us, it did not live up to the hype. We felt that all the items were overpriced. We ordered the Basque cheesecake and did not like it all. Ambience was okay-ish, too noisy. I would rate this place 1/5 stars. This place is also situated in Alwarpet. Mexe Another place which is in Alwarpet - Mexe. We ordered their c...

Five Most Patriotic Movies on Amazon Prime Video India Right Now

Raazi This movie was a solid 4.5/5 stars in my opinion. What I liked the most about this movie is that it portrays a young girl who spies for her country against all odds. The movie is based on a true story and it shed light on the unsung heroes of Indian history. The main character Sehmat left college, married and lived in Pakistan, so that she could gain intel about the upcoming war. The intel gathered by her and other spies helped India to get prepared for the Indo-Pakistan war of 1971 and the Ghazi attack. The movie is based on a book called "Calling Sehmat." Alia Bhatt plays the role of the lead actress and she was able to represent what the real Sehmat would have felt like - scared, brave, patriotic, loving, dangerous, caring, human, selfless and a thousand more indescribable emotions. Other important characters in the movie were Sehmat's husband, her parents, her father-in-law. her brother-in-law, her brother-in-law's wife, a servant who worked in Sehmat's ...
