Unnai Pol Oruvan – not exactly

Posted by: eskay on: September 28, 2009

Having read quite a few reviews and after watching the movie twice, I feel the movie is a very good one, but a little below perfection. I am mentioning the points which I noticed in this movie, and not the ones I noticed in the original movie, ‘A Wednesday’.
When a movie of such importance is [...]

slumdog millionaire – should we celebrate the oscars??

Posted by: eskay on: February 26, 2009
