#PicksAndPiques #JohnsonThomas #FilmMovieDocumentaryReviews #internationalfilmfestivalcircuit Film ‘#SamratPrithviraj’ Rating: * Runtime: 133mins.

Self-appointed historian for the right wing, Chandraprakash Dwivedi’ s divisive, distorted take on history, this period drama fails to arouse sentiment or amiability. One-note Tarzan Akshay Kumar’s attempt to emote is laughable. The attempt to spread propaganda via fake history is contemptible. The only way Prithviraj could have killed Ghori was if his ghost appeared 14 years later to do the needful (Prithviraj died – 1192 & Ghori died – 1206) This movie based on Chandravardai's book takes flight from fanciful poems written in praise of the so-called last Hindu King(yet another phony claim) by a courtier. It would have been better if Dwivedi had a disclaimer before the film claiming it to be a work of fiction. And what a pity the love factory has begun to peddle hate… #AkshayKumar #ManushiChhillar, #SonuSood #SanjayDutt #AdityaChopra #ManavVij #AshutoshRana #SakshiTanwar #ChandraPrakashDwivedi #Yashraj #PicksAndPiques #JohnsonThomas #FilmMovieDocumentaryReviews #internationalfilmfestivalcircuit #Major Rating: * * ½ Runtime: 148 mins.

A flawed, gung-ho, version of a true story, this film plays to the gallery like any mainstream masala actioner. Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan deserved a far better posthumous salute. Advi Sesh has looks and screen presence while Saiee, though pretty, acts rather vapid. #AdviSesh #SaieeManjrekar #PrakashRaj #Revathi #ShobitaDhulipala #SashikiranTikka #UniversalCommunications #ParagDesai #PicksAndPiques #JohnsonThomas #FilmMovieDocumentaryReviews #internationalfilmfestivalcircuit #Vikram Rating: * * ½ Runtime: 173 mins

A near 3 hour runtime, meaningless badly orchestrated action and Kamal Haasan unmasking himself post interval puts you in a mood to walk away. The logic sucks, the storyline is pretty weird – especially when you have an elite force standing and watching kidnappers/ marauders/ murderers commit offences without any counter offensive. Watch and follow is the key word here. #PenMarudhar #RaajkamalFilms #Fahadfasil #suriya #vijaysethupathi #KamalHaasan #KalidasJayaram #SGayathrie #ChembanVinodJose #Vasanthi #Kumaravel #Santhanabharathi #SwathishtaKrishnan #LokeshKanagaraj #UniversalCommunications #ParagDesai
