for pointing out the omission. I was prompt in correcting the same, it was just that I missed writing about hanif [How could i?]...
Glad you liked the review. Thank you for the good words...
It is not just in Tamil that mohanlal has done horrendous roles. He has done a lot of stupid movies in malayalam too, like vamanapuram bus route, hariharan pilla happy aanu and so on... Probably it is just that he hasnt had enough opportunities in Tamil. Iruvar was an awesome movie, that is one of m read more...
I had intentionally left out the Princess Sophie part. I didnt want to reveal any part of the cryptic clue... That's why. Thanks a lot guys for your comments!!!
Commented on jodihayes's review
Havent seen the movie, but this was one I had been looking forward to going to... From what I understand from your review, I gotta go with a add-on sequel mindset- they are never gonna be as good as the first one, but if it is at least half as good, it would be worth the money... Keep typing!
Yeah, guess I was in a hurry when i wrote this one.... I have done a bit more of formatting :)
Thank you sonu, for the comments. Guess this is the most controversial review i ever wrote. Sonu, I wouldnt say I didnt like the movie over all because I cant accept my culture. It was more because I have read so much of ramayan and felt the movie could have been made in a much much better way. Re read more...
Appreciate your open comment, but I found a lot of room for improvement in the movie. I accept the fact that the movie is a bold venture, but the glitches in it made me feel I shouldnt watch any other indian animation movie, given the expectations i had. That is the sole reason of posting this revie read more...
Dear Arvin, You are entitled to your opinion of liking or disliking my comment, I respect your opinion. I have not called hanuman an Ape, I have mentioned him as an Ape-god, by which i meant A God in the form of an ape.

Commented on diver's review
Nowadays malayalam movies seem to be more focused on double meanings and vulgar comedy. I guess the only recent movie I would rate as a good comedy would be Meesha Madhavan. Yeah, and one omission in your list I noted was Godfather [Hulchul in hindi]... Priyadarshan seems to be making lots, picking read more...
