      • The major plus points of the film are director's taking and Kamal Hassan. On the flipside, the serial killing concept of the film might become too serious for a general entertainment seeker.

  3. Apr 5, 2024 · Why is Andhadhun Sriram Raghavan’s best movie to watch? Andhadhun is stylish, unpredictable, heavy on Raghavan’s usual tropes and boasts an impeccable ensemble cast with an even more impeccable soundtrack by Amit Trivedi.

    Agent Vinod is about an Indian RAW agent (Saif Ali Khan) who embarks on a mission of unravelling a trail of clues only to find himself trying to avert a potential nuclear war. The film is a mishmash of lots of ideas and is Sriram Raghavan’s least coherent venture. There are a lot of the director’s quintessential sensibilities, like references to ot...

    The first theatrical feature film of Sriram Raghavan is a tale of love gone awry and its eventual metamorphosis into a revenge thriller. The film is about Sarika (Urmila Matondkar), who starts going out with Karan (Saif Ali Khan), and is soon involved in crime and court when she’s discovered with a suitcase of firearms (belonging to Karan) in her h...

    Merry Christmas and Agent Vinod mark a departure from Sriram Raghavan’s distinct style. Agent Vinod in ways that are not so remarkable, but Merry Christmas in a rather pleasant manner. Merry Christmas is at the heart of it, a romantic film, but not in the conventional sense. It’s about Albert (Vijay Sethupathi) and Maria (Katrina Kaif) who meet on ...

    The Indianization of Massimo Carlotto’s novella Death’s Dark Abyss, Badlapur is about the lingering infinitude of crime and mortality. The story begins with a bank robbery, a car-jacking, and the subsequent murder of a mother (Yami Gautam) and her son.

    To take a scene and attempt to weave around a robust three-act structure sounds like a project assignment given to a group of students taking a writing course. Andhadhun is “based on” the French short-film L’Accordeur (The Piano Tuner) (2010), and is really much more than that. The premise is simple, like its inspiration: Akash (Ayushmann Khurrana)...

    Johnny Gaddaar is a film dedicated to Vijaya Anand and James Hadley Chase, and is one of the gold standards of Indian noir. The film follows a gang of four, dubbed nonchalantly as The Gang: Sheshadri (Dharmendra), Vikram (Neil Nitin Mukesh), Prakash (Vinay Pathak), and Shardul (Zakir Hussain). The Gang are approached by Inspector Kalyan (Govind Nam...

  4. Jan 12, 2024 · What I can say, though, is that Merry Christmas is a sublime deconstruction of the romantic thriller. The heart is often a destructive trigger in Raghavan’s movies. It drives the bloody revenge of Badlapur (2015) and Ek Hasina Thi (2004), the simmering deceit of Andhadhun and Johnny Gaddaar (2008).

  5. Raghavan is a good movie. The man who made Gharshana churns out another episode in the life of a police officer, and, even without counting the fact that his last attempt had you scrounging for more, once again has you riveted with the cinematic equivalent of a late night in solitude with a page-turner.
