Housefull (2010)
house full nonsense!
This movie has cheap comedy which has been repeated by the director in his earlier movies. This movie has the most silly song "He is such a loser". The songs are okay but over-hyped as usual in bollywood movies. This movie's climax is the worst. Akshay Kumar does not overact as much as his usual movies for change. It is the girls that overact especially Lara Dutt. Many scenes were stolen from various Hollywood movies. The scene which had akshay and monkey slapping each other went on for around 10 mins. I prefer priyadarshan-akshay combo than sajid-akshay combo simply because priyadarshan is a much better comedy director. There are similarities with hey baby. Unless you want to watch a brainless flick, don't waste money on it.
Lollipop (2008)
This is not a lolipop!
Lolipop-what kind of name is that to put for a youth film? Songs,story is weak compared to chocolate. It seems the director failed in his attempt to make a comedy movie. This is not worth wasting time on. The chocolate girl overacts just like prithviraj in this movie. Jayasurya is the only one worth seeing in this movie even though it was only a mediocre role. Jagathi,bhavana,suraj,biju are wasted in this movie. There are many loopholes and the film has no momentum. It was a wonder this movie did average in the box office. Prithviraj flexing his muscles like hrithik roshan was unimpressive. There is no connection to the audience when watching. Boban was decent but he was wasted too in his movie.
Alexander the Great (2010)
You don't want this Alexander
There is a reason this movie flopped in the box office. Mohanlal does a decent job. Bala speaks bad English but his girl is beautiful. Jagadeesh overacts little than usual. Siddhique being a villain does not have much to do except hold a cellphone and talk. Alexander is a math genius so he wins a global math quiz which helps bala escape to his house with Alexander and his pretty girl. The money lenders are after bala so he needs to escape from them. The plot is a letdown and seems to misuse Mohanlal's skills. There is no chemistry between the actors. Nedimoodi Venu is wasted in his doctor role. The story drags a lot and you get easily bored.
Kangalal Kaidhu Sei (2004)
what a dull movie but nice songs!
Nice songs by a.r rahman.There was a rumour that he composed these songs and send it through his cell phone. The choreography of yedoma song is bad.The hero in this movie is cold acting with no emotions in many scenes and bad emotions in other scenes and he cannot even dance normally. This director is supposed to be a good director but this movie is a disaster and a big flop. Priyamani is wasted in this.This is like a fantasy movie where the hero is dreaming about her all the time without actually making love to her. A.R Rahman wasted his talent for this movie.
The scene where the hero gets angry is funny as it is so unrealistic. The hero looks handsome but actor he is not.I don't think he ever acted again in any movie because of the shock.
For an average person it is a sheer waste of time.The conclusion is so unrealistic also.I gave 2 stars only for the songs.
Cop Out (2010)
not bruce wills standard movie!
This movie fails in action,good comedy and romance. The plot was lame.Bruce wills was given a normal cop character which he plays cool way without needing to put any effort in it. Tracy morgan,the loudmouth is always suspicious of his wife cheating on him and a fan of action movies.He was a milshake mascot in one scene which was lame with him cycling.The only character who is worth seeing is the guy stiffler from American pie.He was psycho and funny in his bit parts.The bald Mexican villain with his baseball bat as a weapon was cheesy. don't waste your money on this even on DVD.Rent and return it if u must see this movie. There are too many loopholes.My friends liked the cheap comedy and i was like "duh,you guys like cheap comedy?".Very unconvincing plot. Bruce wills as the father who needs to pay for his daughter's wedding is not the first time playin this role.My thinking was how lucky some brides are to expect their father's to pay for their wedding expenses and they just smile and kiss with their fiancé.
Bhoothnath (2008)
booo for kids!
srk in his short role was useless and could not save this movie. Juhi is humorous and nice in her role as a mother.Amitabh was OK in his role.The kid was cute but this movie is boring for adults. special effects/computer effects have been wasted.There is similarity to baghban story in parts of the father and son.This might be a nice movie for kids.Songs were lame.The son character was not very convincing. Rajpal yadev was silly with ghost playing tricks on him but i guess he suited his role.This movie has loopholes and u will notice once you see the full movie.The kid was chubby and I think he acted in baghban also. Amitabh with his unclean long nails look ugly.Do all ghosts not take bath or clean themselves everyday?Srk's back is shown most time when he talks on cellphone and looks very busy even in the movie.
Chota Mumbai (2007)
what a cool comedy movie for a malayalee
Mohanlal-Vasco DA Gama is the th ala(head) of his gang.Good supporting characters.Jagathi as pattukum bashir entertains especially with his introduction scene where the mortal combat song is played. Indrajit had short role along with manikuttan and bhavana as talkative girl who is an auto driver suits her role.Her father raj an p Dev is real funny especially the scene where he is drunk and invites mohanlal to come into his house. Mani is good along with his crazy talkative abusing mother. Predictable movie but its comedy is the highlight of this movie. Shakila also has some screen space(another selling point) mohanlal funny dance intro is nice. Songs are cool....th ala.....and vasco DA Gama. Suraj has a short role and gets beat up by mohanlal for the first time in a Malayalam movie.
Puthiya Mugham (2009)
see it for the songs especially prithviraj singing!
This was a fresh movie from prithviraj who delivers his role as a Brahmin's who studies in engineering college and because of jealousy from Bale ends up beaten when Bale's crush gets closer to him.
The song pitch vetch Nan.... sung by shank mahadevan is such a melodious song, Tatum mu tum song is fun to listen to and choreography looks nice,rehesayamai is OK but location suits the song.
The chemistry between prithviraj and priyamani looks fresh. Bale suits his role and he's gotta change his simple hairstyle and look more stylish if he wants to woo girls in his movies like prithee.
the Brahman girl me era vasudevan(who in her interview once confessed that she had a crush and wanted to marry Tamil actor Surya-yeah right, never happened dear).
I remember priyamani's interview where she said she would choose to work with Robert DE Nero and brad Pitt when she gets her chance.lol.what a joke,you never even stepped in Hollywood yet dear...
jagathi was nice but less space time unfortunately. Prithviraj sung well Kane Kane.... This movie was an attempt to create prithviraj as a mass hero as it worked with the Malayalam audience.They will surely make a remake of this movie either in Tamil,Hindi,Telugu..wait and see
The actions were gravity defying stunts and unbelievable but good cinematography.The only let down was the plot, very predictable.
The scene where he plays tabla on the professor's mike stand was my favourite scene as well as the Brahmin's girl biting his hand(nice romantic scene)for him not to miss her.
Angel John (2009)
worst mohanlal movie!
maradona(funny name for a malayalee guy) is the only son of his parents and he is spoilt.He flerts with older women, watches porn in locked room, shows his underwear style(which I hate from guys showing off in front of girls in today's generation).Yes Mr director we understand what you are trying to say about the spoilt youth in today's generation but you did not have to bring a excelled actor like mohanlal in this poor directed movie.Mr angel comes out of nowhere huh?
If I was the director and wanted to say this kind of story, I would have introduced mohanlal like a common man met by sheer incident by the lead actor and then the climax he realizes that in reality there is no man like that.
The lead actor is handsome,has dimples that can woo girls and has scope for some cheap comedy but his serious expressions are not convincing one bit.
jagathi and bijukuttan are just fine in their roles but no nice comedy as expected from them.
what made me laugh is when mohanlal walks with a rose with his wig hair and girls say "oooo so handsome,hot,cute".YEA RIGHT!!!!! It can be believable if it was mammooty but mohanlal? yuck NO
I know the potential of mohanlal as an actor-he can do so many splendid performances,but his directors let him down in movies like this.
If any directors is seeing this- Understand first that mammooty is good looking and mohanlal is not hot!
Don't spoil the reputation of a splendid actor like mohanlal with movies like this.I don't think if even mohanlal was the lead and some one else was angel, this movie could be saved.
The karate master? could have been mani, would hav been a little more believable instead of a skinny comedy actor.
The lead actress was OK looking,boring and was more dumb and foolish.Is this how an actress should be?
2 Harihar Nagar (2009)
best sequel in Malayalam cinema so far!
Sequels are challenging especially if the former is a super hit. This movie had the right dose of humour,sentiments,suspense for all in harihar nagger fans.Jagadeesh after a long time is back in a good comedy role and he is loud but humorous most scenes. The ending was nice and was not very predictable. famous line "Thomas kuttiye vitto da" by mukesh to his friends is the best line in in harihar nagger and this time is no different. Lakshmi rai(Known as Indian cricketer captain dhoni's girl and is a tami actress) also plays her part little better than OK.
This movie is the best Malayalam sequel so far.
Kanthaswamy (2009)
More quantity than quality!
Nice exotic locations for songs. Songs lyrics were silly especially meow meow song. The best thing about this movie is vikram's coolness from start to finish and he never has looked more handsome,fresh and fit than this. The heroine is similar to the padayappa(rajni film) character except this time they both end up liking each other.
There was one scene where the men in suits(with guns) were hit by a car and escapes but then they choose to fight the hero with their fists when they could av easily used guns to finish him off. They took such a long time pointing their guns to the hero(who was blindfolded)and refused to shoot him straight or take his left arm as ordered.Instead they wanted to play with him. The action and plot has many loopholes.
Does prabhu always like be a cop in every movie?
About songs, they were so boring....and no wonder the movie did not do well. A tamil movie has chance of doing OK or superhit if it either has a decent plot or nice appealing songs for Tamil as seen in vijay movies.
An actor like Vikram should not be misused like this. They have good chemistry but the plot is a let down for his fans. We expect superb performances or dialogues in vikram's movies.The director should keep that in mind.
Is this tamil cinema's answer to bollywood krissh? If so it failed.
This movie has more style than substance.
Bhramaram (2009)
after a long time mohanlal shines again!
This movie might be boring to young people because in the beginning it looks like just another ordinary malayalam movie but then starts to build suspense slowly.
Mohanlal acts well in this movie.The supporting actors were also good. It can make you cry especially the last scene. It can be predictable eventually but the suspense quotient is the one that keeps this movie sailing along his performance. One of mohanlal's top 10 best acts of all all time. Bhoomika is impressive and must do more malayalam movies with mohanlal or mammooty.The child actor was impressive too along with the song she sang.
My family liked it and so did I eventually. The songs were nice too. Mohanlal got a special award for this movie.
Crazy Gopalan (2008)
this gopalan is OK !
The introduction scenes are good and has its comedic moments. Salim kumar is serious in this one and overall the movie lacks an interesting plot.The crazy gopalan song is good with funny scenes. manoj k jay an should stick to villain roles as he is good in it. Jagthi,harishree ashoken should have given more length in their character. The director did not utilize the combo of dileep and harishree ashoken as seen in meesha madhavan,thilakam.
The heroine is OK in her role but the director could have chosen a better actress.This movie is predictable and has very less suspense. There is a flashback of dileep when salim kumar is beaten by the people but it was not explained by the director much. They copied an action scene or two from some English movie.
Colors (2009)
boring one of dileep
Dileep in a regular role. Innocent and lead actress are the only characters I found OK. Expected good chemistry from the lead actress as her previous "chocolate" was a hit and she looked beautiful in it with prithviraj. This movie was a dud because it has no funny moments. Songs were less than OK. It was a predictable movie. The cycle actor was misused in this movie.This guy may not be a star or with good looks to attract female audience but he has good potential as supporting role as seen in cycle. This might be dileep's worst movie as it was really boring to watch...Dileep needs to put more effort in characters and take good funny movies as audience gets tired of same mr nice guy dileep with no funny comments.
C.I.D. Moosa (2003)
hilarious,fun to watch many times
This movie was aimed for kids and family audiences,but many people ended up likin it. Harishree,Jagthi,Cochin Haneefa,Salim kumar are in good form in this movie. Dileep is regular but his comrades steal the show with their comedic timing.Bhavana has nothing much to do. Songs are sung well.. I watched it more than 2 times and did not get bored...comedy scenes are hilarious... best scenes: 1)reaction of jagathi and his wife in the apartment after they hear the word "bomb" 2)Song which makes them chase after salim kumar 3)Jagathi questions harishree ashoken in the bike helmet scene. 4)Introduction of captain raju and his funny gadgets.
3 Idiots (2009)
best bollywood movie ever !
This movie was the bomb. Never enjoyed a bollywood movie like this. I almost cried with that scene where madhavan and sharman pull their pants down in front of amir and he turns back and cries. Best thing about this movie was Boman Irani.Loved his role. The songs were good too. Naration of madhavan was good.Sharman acted well too especially in the scene where he makes a choice between life and death. Rancho is a very likable character. Kareena plays her part good too(her luck to bag this role after some flops like kurbaan and khambat ishq). The conclusion was so unpredictable.That nerdy guy was funny too. All is well folks....best bollywood movie ever and probably amirs best movie too after lagaan.
Sagar Alias Jackie: Reloaded (2009)
sagar with a cool theme song
The Theme song of this movie is good and may appeal for the youth. Action scenes were good.The let down of this movie are mohanlal's expressionless emotions and his chemistry with bhavana. Mohanlal looked cool in all scenes.Manoj k Jyan played his part well. Too bad shobana was not paired opposite mohanlal.She acted well in her small part.The supporting actors were cool too. Bhavana had nothing much to do except look pretty in her song. Jyothermai is in an item song, since when did she stick only to item songs? She should have got some role too. Predictable movie which is another let down. I liked one dialogue of mohanlal to manoj "You know sagar as your friend well but you don't know jacky the enemy". Mohanlal did not do any action roles after this movie. Mohanlal can still do better action roles, but he must be directed well with adipoli dialogues like narasimham,ravanaprabhu,naran.
Ghajini (2008)
movie is nice to watch for amir..
This is a remake of tamil ghajini(remake of English movie momento) with few changes.Amir performs well in his role and his his 6 pack look better than srk's in om shanti om.Surya performed better but Amir being a bigger actor was considered better.They both performed well actually and the heroine Asin(tamil actress) got her biggest role in a bollywood movie which made her put extra make-up and be vain after this movie became the biggest blockbuster of the year. The Hindi songs were better since it is composed by A r rahman. Glad this movie beat srk's rab nejodi since the latter movie was pathetic.Jian khan looked pretty in her song. Amir became the ace khan after this movie's results and people finally realised who was the better khan. In fact srk's king khan title should be given to amir khan from now on. Amir Khan also realized his market value after this movie.The police officer was also the same actor and was good in his role.Riyaz khan should act more in bollywood. The camera clicks are the best part about amir's role in this movie.
Bhagavan (2009)
Its nice movie for a malayalee
This movie was experimental and the director shows some effort through mohanlal's character. The ending was predictable which was the let down of the movie. But it carries a message. A doctor can save lives and take away lives when he wants to. It was a very short movie. An actor like Mohanlal can carry a film on his shoulders as shown in the movie. Unfortunately audience want to see more of Mohanlal in his movies. I doubt if mammooty could do this role effectively as Mohanlal as it was best suited for Mohanlal. This is why Mohanlal is the superior actor. Regardless of how this movie fared, it was a nice movie and will not be forgotten so soon.
Bhagyadevatha (2009)
nice movie
This movie is better than a lot of crap malayalam movies. Jayaram acted in regular role and this movie carries a message about a family man's greed for dowry.
Not as good as Satyan Anthikad's earlier movies but is still watchable with good songs.Nedimudi Venu is in a good role and not just another regular role.
This movie has funny moments but not as much as one would expect. The heroine has nothing much to do.It will appeal to family audiences but not maybe youngsters.This movie has a nice opening with k. lalitha and daughter making achapum.It made me hungry.
Twenty:20 (2008)
twenty twenty is the movie malayalees have been waiting for !
This is one of the most memorable movies ever made. Mammooty and Mohanlal have equal space time to make their fans happy. Suresh Gopi shines in all scenes and is the best thing about the movie. Dileep is just OK in a regular role suited for him among the bigger stars. The action scenes were boring except mohanlal's which is fun for his fans to watch. Bhavana has nothing much to do except look pretty. I did not like the songs especially 'O Priya' song,it was just barely OK song. The song with nayanthara and the younger stars were OK but its lyrics were bad. Could have been better but it was the biggest collection in malayalam cinema anyways. It was good that the younger stars were not given screen space because their performance cannot match the trio of Mohanlal,Suresh Gopi,Mammooty.
Rahasya Police (2009)
Ultimate suspense?
This movie was just OK....suspense? why does the final killer try to kill the girl when he wanted to steal her jewellery?
K.madhu has made good CBI movies with mammotty but this movie with jayaram does not create enough suspense.
A double role for jayaram and that too both are police department. It confuses the viewer as where did this new jayaram come from? It does not explain any relation between these 2 look alikes.
I found this movie boring with regular acts from actors.
The comedy scenes were not funny. watch it if u must but don't expect a thrill ride like the CBI movies or nadhiya kollapette nathri.
My Name Is Khan (2010)
my name is khan is over-hyped
The chemistry between srk and kajol was quite good but not as good as earlier movies with them together. Predictable movie and songs were OK, not dance-tapping like karan's earlier movies. The duplicate obama is good. Srk acting is better than OK for a change and was tailor made for him. NRI peopele will like it but it did not do as well as expected in India as expected.
The detaining story of srk before the movie releases was most likely created by the director and his team. My family who usually like srk movies was not happy with this one.
There are flaws but go see it for the chemistry again of bollywood's golden couple srk and kajol.
Om Shanti Om (2007)
see it for the songs and deepika
The songs were good. The acting? Srk same acting as usual. lots of actors come for the song "deewangi deewangi"
Khiladi Returns scene of Akshay was copied from some old English advertisement.
Deepika was the best thing about this movie.A bollywood debut like this is her luck(probably was chosen after the director knew she was a famous Indian tennis player's daughter, would have created more hype for the movie)
Shreyas Talpade was good in his role and provides support to srk. Srk's 6 pack was over hyped and looked OK with him in that dard e disco song.
Arjun is good in his role.
The whole reincarnation thing is crap(makes no sense)
See this moviee for the songs and deepika not for the plot.
Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi (2008)
srk overacting !
This movie was the one of the lamest bollywood stories ever. Srk nerdy look with mustache was just OK and normal average shy man in the streets but his cocky makeover is annoying(He overacts).
Anuksha Sharma was the only good thing about this movie and of course songs which were better than OK but not that good as srk's earlier movies.
Did this movie become a hit because of the songs or srks overacting, i don't know.
Anuksha looks pretty in yellow. The pani puri eating scene was the only scene I liked.
