Re-View

Sultan is not just muscles and stunt sequencesit is also a sneak peek into the psyche of Salman, the man.

Ozhivudivasathe Kali  is a tremendous achievement in terms of form and aesthetics. It is also well served by actors without their off-screen baggage when it comes to what they do and say.

Dhillukku Dhuddu, on the other hand, is a redundant formula with stale humour and large dollops of misogyny.

Looks like George Takei did not take the latest reveal from Star Trek Beyond, that well. Sulu, the character that Takei played in the original Star Trek films will be gay in the current re-boot, which has perplexed Takei no end. “I’m delighted that there’s a gay character,” he told The Hollywood Reporter. “Unfortunately, it’s a twisting of Gene’s creation, to which he put in so much thought. I think it’s really unfortunate.”
