Tuner: A Sharp, Suspenseful Acoustic Thriller!

Tuner: A Super Tense Thriller Where Music Meets Crime 🎹🔒 ​Directed by Daniel Roher (the guy who made Navalny ), Tuner takes a very quiet, old-school job and turns it into a high-voltage mind game. It is a lot like those classic suspense movies where a person’s special talent becomes their biggest problem. ​The movie beautifully turns the simple science of sound and pitch into pure thrill, giving us a super smart robbery story. ​The Vibe: Amazing Sound Design Meets Big Crime 🎚️🏢 ​The film does a great job of showing a deep character story while keeping you on the edge of your seat. ​The Story: We follow a lonely, super-focused piano tuner who has a literal superpower, he has 'perfect pitch' and can understand sounds like nobody else. His quiet daily routine goes out the window when a fancy gang of criminals forces him to join them. ​The Robbery: The mission is perfectly made for him. He has to use his crazy good hearing to crack an impossible, high-security loc...

Sookshmadarshini Movie Review: Malayalam Cinema Is The KING!!



We all notice how much a film did in the theatres but on OTT, films have a different style, in OTT respect matters more than money. You must have heard the name Lucky Baskhar. When the film was running in theatres, no one in the North knew about it. But as soon as its Hindi version came on OTT, Oh My God! Netflix once again has a chance for the public to champion the content and give the film its due credit on OTT. In reality, this is the best suspense film of 2024, Sookshmadarshini.

This is a new and fresh release on Hotstar, there is no need to worry at all, the film is also available in Hindi dubbing, Malayalam cinema, just these words are enough to make you understand that the quality of the film is going to be top class, without any doubt. The most underrated film industry of cinema where no two movies are made the same, every week a new film like Drishyam and Marco is released and then these people forget about it, THE INDUSTRY IS MALAYALAM INDUSTRY!

Sookshmadarshini has emerged from there, even the sharpest minded person cannot understand the climax of the film. The story is of a job interview where a girl wants to do something new away from her boring life but she does not succeed in that company but life gives a second chance to this madam. She shifts to another house and get new neighbours , all she wanted was entertainment, if not a job then a neighbour would do. Now the thing is such that this new neighbour's family has an old grandmother and a son who takes care of her, but the grandmother is suffering from Alzheimer's, in which a person slowly loses his ability to think and understand and is unable to make new memories and forgets the old ones.

But the real problem is that this time grandmother goes missing from the house, no one knows whereabouts and the police finds the dead body of a woman at night. Has the same thing happened that you and I are thinking right now? This thought is scaring the heroine of our film as well, but she has seen something even more horrifying than that. Grandma who is missing from home at this time and probably her dead body is with the police, Madam has seen her standing near the window inside the house with her own eyes, meaning either Grandma's ghost has returned home. Maybe the soul is suffering from Alzheimer's disease or maybe the grandmother is alive. Then whose corpse is it and why has the son kept his grandmother hidden?

The lead actress finds a big red mark on the wall of grandma's house. Is it blood? If yes, then whose is it? Where did it come from? The house which was lying vacant a month ago, is it slowly turning into a haunted mansion. What is going on with this? The climax of this movie will make everything fail, the ending of the movie was kept hidden in such a tremendous way that you will not be able to see it even if you are in front of it. This is the magic of Malayalam cinema.

They present even a normal story in such an intelligent way that every time you feel you have seen something new and the best thing is that anyone can enjoy this film. Everybody likes to use their brain but in Bollywood, there haven't been many options since Andhadhun. Last time, Maharaja's ending blew everyone's mind. If you liked Maharaja, then this new Malayalam movie will blow your mind.

The villain of the film is Basil Joseph, who is also a director himself and has directed Minal Murali, but the level of acting is such that even big actors fail. Apart from this, the relationship that has been created between the grandmother and the lead character in the film, you will not even understand when you will get entangled in it like a spider.  You will find such strong and smart writing that you cannot help but connect with it. Emotions were used to hide the suspense and you were made to feel like a fool. So Sookshmadarshini will get four stars out of five. First, the climax of the film literally created a hole in the middle of my head, it is a totally unpredictable cinema. Secondly the setting that has been created feels so real, nothing is over the top, as if we are watching a real life CCTV.

Thirdly the angle of heroine versus villain that has been added, which is quite different. Fourth, emotions are many and that the film does not waste any time in love stories or anything like that. The only complaint in the negatives is that unlike Drishyam, there was no feeling that the heroine will be caught which is a losing factor. You will definitely have to watch this movie, only then will you understand what is lacking in Bollywood, watch it yourself and understand how important it is to make such movies.

Budget: ₹10 Cr

Box-Office Collection: ₹54.36 Cr

Cast: Nazriya Nazim and Basil Joseph

Narivetta: The Wolf Hunt Movie Review: Tovino Thomas' Boldest Film YET??

So, I watched the movie Narivetta, which actually released in theatres a month ago. But I didn’t get a chance to watch it earlier because there was no watch option available here. I wanted to watch it mainly because, first of all, Malayalam films usually have strong content, and secondly, this movie had created quite a hype after its theatrical release. Now, this movie has come on Sony Liv, it was supposed to release on 11th July, but they uploaded it a day earlier. Anyway, it’s finally here, and I have watched it. The total length of the movie is around two hours and fifteen minutes. The first half may make you wonder whether to continue watching or not because the gripping moments, which you expect in any content, disappear after the first 15 minutes. It follows a simple storyline about one man who is poor but educated. He works very hard to become an IPS officer, but due to his family’s poor financial condition, he is forced to take a job as a CRPF constable. After that, the story t...

Meiyazhagan Movie Review: A Story of Stories, Forgotten Memories, and Quiet Reflections

You cannot call yourself a true fan of Indian cinema until you have watched the masterpiece 96 from the Tamil film industry. It is an experience that takes all of us back in time under the pretext of showing a film. This cinema is more real and emotional than real life itself, where you start finding yourself, and when the film ends, you try your best to somehow change its ending. Very few movies are made that you won’t find a single person in the entire world speaking against. Every person who has watched this film became a lifelong fan. The story of Vijay Sethupathi and Trisha was truly once in a lifetime. Every single scene in the film was perfect, every dialogue had meaning, and the music was heavenly. But listen carefully, I said ‘was’, because past tense no longer applies. Now, in the present, there is a film that can rival 96, a film so flawless that no human on this earth can find a mistake in it. If anyone asks for the true meaning of the word ‘cinema’, just show them this fil...

Argylle Movie Review: A Shocking No-Hype Film

So I went to see Superman i.e. Henry Cavill's latest film Argylle which is a spy comedy thriller movie of 2 hours 19 minutes. How is this film, let's talk. Well hello, my name is Artist and we will meet again and again. First of all, this film is not hyped, brother, no seriously, the show I went to, the theatre was actually completely empty. Well, is it worth taking interest or not? Let's talk about the movie, brother, even though its story is from a spy genre, Story telling and concept shown is very different, I mean from a writer's point of view, in the first half you will feel as if you are watching a super natural fictional story, I will not tell much otherwise it will be a spoiler. But the way the writer's fictional character has been connected with real life was great and also I liked the action sequences and editing of this film is the best, the best example of which you can see in its train sequence. You will find it in the sequence where a good fight is goi...
