Movies -
Virus


What better timing it can be to watch a Medico-Pandemic Thriller in the times of Quarantine. Kerala’s brave-hearted Medical Professionals and the statesmen have to stop the rapid outbreak of Nipah Virus, which has already and is taking the lives of many.

                                      
With a riveting screenplay and excellent directing assets, Virus sets a bar high in terms of Cinema, not only in India but also Worldwide. The way the movie gets shot in Neon tones of OT’s Reds and Greens, signifying that it’s just not the patients in Hospitals to have Intensively cared but the entire public to be taken care of, making an ordeal for the Government and Medical Professionals to grasp. You have to see it to feel it - as heroes get churned by the end of this Gravitas Shifting Saga.

The Movie is on Prime Video

Anbe Sivam / Sathyame Sivam


 A physically dysfunctional yet mentally gleeful, lonely man (Kamal Hassan), befriends a Handsome yet emotionally inexpressive youth (Madhavan) in an unusual circumstance only to embark a journey of getting to know each other’s complex as well as the world of Dichotomy they live in. The oddly fit companions get answered with the questions their lives were rattled with.



Anbe Sivam / Sathyame Sivam is an eye-opener about the Rhetoric Nature of Living life. With a frivolous approach and clean screenplay (by Kamal Hassan), the film poetically excels in driving its point or rather points into our hearts. A movie where the moral compass and humanity are broken and yet joined again by love for a being - as the name suggests “ Love is the true God”.

The House Next Door


This movie is India’s version of pure Horror Films. Making a Genre film in India is difficult, especially when it comes to Horror, which gets overly saturated by Comedy, even this mixture of Genre’s not put out properly like or isn’t always re-watchable.

Want More Recommendations? Save yourself from Boredom by binging these  - https://synccinema.blogspot.com/2020/03/scsuggests-psycho-hey-ram-mathu-vadalara.html

This movie washes all these extra inclusions and seriously commits to haunt the audience. Its commitment is evident right from the basic story level to its dazzling but eerie production design. The movie strikes the right chords to become a Horror Flick and isn’t shying away from bloodshed and body slicing. It’s definitely an edge of the seat business and deserves a watch.

The movie is available on Netflix India

TV Series -
Amrutham Dwithiyam ( Season 2, Ep 1-3)


Did the leeway for this decades comedy restrict our classic sitcom to fly with some unwanted wings?
Or Do we have to get used to this new-age presentation of our homely Amrutham Universe?
Clearly, visual artistry and technical brilliance was never a concern for Amrutham. It stands firm for the witty writing and smartly provocative and creative comedy and the cast’s performances. Amrutham proved that mockery and comedy if done with professionalism and intelligence will succeed no matter how poor the presentation may be ( Amutham Season 1 was shot in a shoe-string budget on a 480i format).

But this new Season of Amrutham has many chains dangling around its neck. We have lavish set-pieces, beautified lighting set-up and overly indulgent background Music – while the writing still is respectable in it's standards. The elephant in the room being,  Anji’s character not played by Late Gundu Hanumantha Rao. This new casting choice for Anji will take time getting used to, maybe, even the alienating aspects said before will take time getting used to, until then it’ll just be a very glad feeling that we’re getting a continuation for the Nostalgic Amrutham – The literal elixir in the times of Done-to-Dust TV Serials back then.
 The TV Series with both Season 1 and 2 is on Zee5

The Test: A New Era of Australia’s Team


It takes guts to step out to bat in the ground where the crowd’s specifically booing one and targeting oneself to become prey for their words. This TV series takes you into those moments and many more. It’s an absorbing Cricketing Docu-Drama about the sportsmanship and the sport itself as to how ruthless it can turn out to be.

This TV series the cricketing life of the Australian players post the ’18 ball-tampering scandal for 18 months, we move through their highs and lows, their pride and overconfidence, their kinship and diversities in playing. It’s more than aptly directed and excellently collaged as a 9 episode Season with the ultimate aim of “Playing is larger than Winning”.

 The TVSeries is on Prime Video

Synccinema Quickie - Major

-

  M ajor - Sincerely Celebrating the Unsung Hero Sesh’s  writing has brought a new wave to Telugu Cinema. His thrillers are that finest quality of binding smart with art, that you feel like your IQ has been raised by a few points after watching his film.  Major  has similar characteristics – the characteristics of a  Sesh  thriller. And just like his previous thrillers, it’s only him who can crack the formula of making us sit at the edge of the seat. Major , which celebrates the real-life hero, NSG Training Officer  Sandeep Unnikrishnan , get’s its story told with enough deft towards complexity and rousing payoffs.  Sesh’s  storytelling is sincere and respects the ideology of a soldier. He emphasises the soldier’s mentality to just be that protector, that shield which stops innocents from showering bullets, pack of grenades and most importantly from the terrorist. He is  a  Protector. But  Major  feels like a twinning tale...

Now Premiering - V

  V – Entertaining and Innovative in the space of familiarity. In an Interview of Mohan Krishna Indraganti, the Writer and Director said that the core story of V was shaped out way back in 2006. In 2018, post-Sammohanam, Dil Raju (Producer) longed for a script like V as the markets for such genre had just opened (  Ratsasan  etc.). So V is a culmination of your Garden-side Psycho-police mind games with the action entertaining elements and release might be the case of right ( I’d love to call it manageable) concept at the wrong time. The endless list of external travesties like # Nani25 , # NanivsSudheer , #Sept5release ( which is the date of #Nani1 release –  Ashta Chamma )  and many more made the movie look more stale. One more important factor is the influence of current Psycho Killer genre in a yester decade  script. The audience has become smart, mature and very much exposed to all the brilliant content outside of  Tollywood  and ...
