Darbar (2020)



Movie: Darbar (2020)
Genre: Action Thriller
Runtime: 2hr 30mins
Writer and director: A.R. Murugadoss

Rajinikanth played the principle character Aditya Arunachalam a police commissioner who solves cases related to drug mafia and women trafficking in Mumbai. 

Performance’s wise Rajini’s screen presence and dialogue delivery were extraordinary; he single handedly carried this film on his shoulders. All the hero elevation scenes and action blocks are treat to watch. Nayanthara’s role is incomplete and her performance is just ok. Nivetha Thomas finest role in recent times. Her performance as Rajinikanth Daughter was laudable. She shines in the character and her emotional scenes in the hospital with rajini are praiseworthy. Sunil shetty as villain is a bad choice, his acting and dialogue delivery falls flat and rest of the cast performances are just ok.

Director Murugadoss showcased Rajinikanth in a prefect fashion. He highlighted Rajini’s mannerisms and style in energetic way.  If the same efforts were put into story it would have been great. One can expect a taut screenplay for Murugadoss but it was pretty ordinary particularly in the last 30 minutes. Anirudh Background score was impressive especially in the action sequences. However his songs doesn’t make any impact. Cinematography by Santosh Sivan stands out and editing by Sreekar Prasad was up to the mark. Special mention to the Rajinikanth’s make up it was pretty decent. Production values by Lyca were pretty good.

All-round performance by Rajinikanth and Nivetha will please both fans and regular moviegoers. Hero elevation scenes, action sequences and the father and daughter emotion scenes fill the loopholes in the screenplay. 

Rajani’s Darbar Guarantee’s entertainment.

Rating: 3 / 5 Stars

Movie:  Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo  (2020) Genre:  Drama /  Action Runtime:  2hr 45mins Writer and director: Trivikram Valmiki (Muralisharma) interchanges his son (Sushanth) with boss’s son (Allu Arjun) in hospital. After 25 years truth will be revealed to Allu Arjun and rest of the story is how he unconventionally settles down things in his authentic family. Allu Arjun totally lived into the Devraj character and he is exceptional in hero elevation scenes. His acting and dances are as usually admirable and his action sequences are worthy. Pooja Hegde looks beautiful and has done decent job. Her romantic tract with allu arjun has come out well. Murali sharma as vamiki has done fantastic job, his role with negative shades has tremendous importance in the story. Samuthirani as Appalanaidu was ok; director should have etched his character properly. This film features assembled cast in which Jayaram stands out. Tabu as Jayaram’s wife was just ok. ...

Movie:  HIT – The First Case  (2020) Language: Telugu Genre:   Investigative Thriller Runtime:  2hr 6min Writer and director:  Sailesh Kolanu  The film starts with an eighteen year old girl, Preethi’s strange disappearance. Few months after that Neha (Ruhani Sharma) will also be missing in similar pattern. Vikram Rudra Raju (Vishwak sen) an aggressive police officer begins the investigation and find outs the culprit. Vishwak Sen was perfectly casted in the role of Vikram (a H omicide I ntervention T eam Cop). He has given settled performance and mostly impressive. His acting in post-traumatic attack scenes was realistic. Ruhani Sharma has done decent role and rest of the casting is perfect and believable. Director Sailesh’s (debutant) narration is gripping and from beginning to end it is clean investigative thriller needless to say he didn’t deviate from the plot. The way he introduces the protagonist character as good, intelligent...
