Verdict - "Do yourself a favour and never opt for getting this KICK"

Jaded, exhausted and infuriated! I'm still searching for my kick on a tedious combat zone of ludicrous action, unappealing romance and humourless comedy.

As y'all are very well-known about the summary of the movie, it's just identical to Dhoom 3, a distinct intellectual superman who is finally gratified by nicking money from the blatant wealthy guys for obvious reasons that are adequate.

Let's clear things out! Back in 2009, when Surender Reddy presented Kick to the telugu audience, it felt fresh, comical and smart. Nadiadwala's adaptation falls short in everything it tackled with. And to be very clear, I'm not drawing any comaprisons!

The screenplay was stale all throughout the movie. It encountered a good amount of pacing issues, the romantic love segment between Salman and Jacqueline was never plausible and it practically debased the most pleasurable thing called "Love" in many ways. Neither did the comedic parts of the movie crack well, it just felt like an artificial humour which is just used to make it a complete movie.

In this age and time it all depends on how you sell the movie to your audience and Kick took off fashionably by marketing it's key aspects bordering on fast cars, boom-bastic explosions and fuming action. The question is, does it deliver well in the movie? I would say no! The action sequences were lazy as it ruined the fun because of the sluggish camerawork and it's simply not logical.

Randeep Hooda is splendid in his role, unfortunately his character never felt like an ominous threat to the main protagonist of the film and that's even one of my complaints for the movie. The good guy-bad guy thing never paid off due to the unappealing screenplay. Nawazuddin Siddiqui fairly entertains with his weird expressions and considering him as a tough menace is a bit irregular.

The big guy Salman is yet again an amusing, clever and a soulful man and he never disappoints in entertaining with his over-the-top action sequences and that's all we anticipate for. Jacqueline portrayed a significant character but is incredibly wasted with her minimal screentime, apart from showing her good looks.

Nonetheless, the purpose of the movie was convincing and it played out well after a string of debacle. And Salman who is popular with his Being Human campaign felt like a good front runner to coup these kind of subjects. But I'm never into the movie, despite of it's outlandish action and drama, Kick is not a good adaptation as per me and will probably be remembered only for a brief amount of time.

My Rating - 2/5 | Grade - C (Meh! Probably a rental!)

Verdict: "An Extremely Exhilarating Entertainer".

Being one of the most expected movies of this year, Dhanush’s 25th outing, hit screens today amid much fanfare and mammoth expectation among all the engineers. It has Amala Paul, Saranya, Samuthirakanni, Hrishikesh and Vivek playing pivotal roles. It’s the debut movie of Cinematographer Velraj as director and has Anirudh Ravichander composing songs and background music.

The film revolves around Raghuvaran (Dhanush), an engineering graduate desperately trying to get a job. After being constantly humiliated by his parents and friends, is Raghuvaran able to get a job and will he be able to survive in that job makes the plot.

Dhanush has perfectly nailed a commercial entertainer for his Silver Jubilee film and has given some praise worthy performance. He has perfectly characterised the role of an unemployed graduate. Amala Paul as Shalini plays the role of Raghuvaran’s love interest. She impresses with her looks.

Samuthirakanni and Saranya Ponvannan as Raghuvaran’s parents faultlessly depicted the role of typical Indian Parents.

Velraj has given a clean entertainer with a racy plot and engaging screenplay. There was no scenes in which the movie lagged. Each and every dialogue uttered by Dhanush and many scenes in the movie was just the reflection of every unemployed graduate. Anirudh’s background music was extraordinary and songs were received with huge applause from the audience.

Ultimately, Vellai illa Pattathari is a wholesome entertainer and a perfect ode to Engineers. Take your gang of friends and enjoy the movie. Vellai illa Pattathari is sure to amuse you.

My Rating- 3.5/5
Grade- B+ (A Perfect Weekend Pick!)

Verdict - "A seamless sequel which tremendously outshines it's splendid prequel."

Surpassing an awe-inspiring prequel in every single aspect is a superlative accolade. Adapted from the original (68-73) Planet of the Apes movies, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes is the new installment in the franchise and was helmed by Matt Reeves who previously directed two underrated movies Cloverfield & Let Me In.

Cordoned off in a post-apocalyptic wasteland conquered by Apes, human race is been wiped out by a "Simian Flu" as they lead an appalling life far away from the apes communion led by a formidable leader named "Caesar" who believes in keeping peace between the two ethnic groups and doesn't deem about futile hostility activities.

All hell breaks loose when the apes proclaims a war against humanity after a petite misunderstanding which gets brutal in every single aspect because of the anticipation factor.

Word of warning! If you deduce "Dawn" to be a summer-explosion-blockbuster then you're probably on a wrong page. The movie takes time to deliver the action substance and it's lucidly displayed in the first act when the writers took major screen time to develop the characters and the narrative aspects in the movie. It tells the story magnificently with a classic touch of inspiration, trepedition, companionship and audacity.

The second act is stuffed with all the action and adventure we anticipate, but what stands out here is how they flawlessly blended the ongoing drama with the splendid warfare. Few desired shades of disparity between the two races and the treachery factor were sported in a proper way.

Matt Reeves is a greenhorn to this franchise, his approach in telling a momentous tale should be appreciated, the personality and complexion of the Apes are reconnoitered very well, as we get to learn more about them in a precise way. The wide angle shots used by Reeves shows how detrimental these Apes can be and also plots the fear factor perfectly.

Also the best compliment I can give to this movie was that we actually forget that these Apes are unreal when we actually watch the movie and that is plausible only by the efforts of the CGI team, they were certainly the best I've ever seen and we never feel tired for a split second watching these illusory objects move and talk.

Andy Serkis, the darkhorse of the movie does a remarkable job here and portraying an immense character through a motion capture technology was a challenging task and Serkis does it effortlessly. Gary Oldman, Jason Clarke, Keri Russell had done their part well and exhibited the needed human aspect which was completely missing in "Rise".

Apart from the pointless action blockbusters we usually come across every summer. "Dawn" reprieves us for a bit and doesn't disremember the fact to provide entertainment. It elongates the franchise with a substantial storyline augmenting every single attribute to a better level. Undoubtedly, one of the best movie of this summer.

My Rating - 4/5
Grade - A (The best one around!)
