Cocktail view on Dhilluku Dhuddu (2.9/5)


1. First half falls flat with weak romantic portion while the second half is a complete laugh riot santhanam shines.

2. Once the film shifts to the haunted house, there are good LOL moments. Rajendran, Anandaraj, Karunaas, S Shukla in good form.

3. Ram Bala picks it up in the 2nd half.Thaman music ok but misplacement.
4. Liked the reel ghosts vs real ghost idea. For an usual horror comedy,  this film has great production value.

5. Naan Kadavul Rajendran's typical mannerism is enjoyable, Saurabh Shukla' s frequent 'Muttal' dialogue works well.

6. Santhanam finally got it right in the hero slot, enjoyable to a certain extent. Ghost v/s Ghost clash is USP.

7. Santhanam passed the test in commercial cinema -dancing & action scenes with ease. Motta & Karunas are a scream.

8. Big weakness heroine & her lip sync.On the whole time pass horror comedy.

9. Santhanam has gone for a stylish make-over.Dances and fights impressively.His witty "counters" are a delight.

10. New comer Heroine Shananya is adequate.Anandraj, Rajendran, Karunas and Saurabh Sukhla - Great Supporting cast.

Movie Chit Chat cocktail rating: (2.9/5)

Cocktail view on Sultan (3.7/5)


1. Adrenaline pumping & motivational sports film. Salman Khan extraordinary knockout performance makes it a winner.

2. An uplifting drama that is as much as about wrestling/MMA and about Love.Triumph of an underdog against all odds tale.

3. Ali Abbas Zafar in his 3rd film as director has proved he has the stuff, dialogues by Aditya Chopra are really good.Well packaged.

4. Salman Khan shines as naive small town guy who becomes an Olympic Gold Medalist.Star proves his acting powers.

5. Romantic story set against wrestling background with a emotional touch. Loved the romance between Salman & Anushka.

6. Anushka Sharma has done a good job.For a wrestler who fights in mud, her skin tone looks too bright.Randeep Hooda is fab.

7. Haryanvi English that Salman Khan speaks is a rocker & dance movements in the song Jag Ghoomeya terrific.

8. Ali Abbas Zafar 's dialogues are razor sharp.Editing could have been much crisper.Music by Vishal - Shekar is excellent.

9. Downside- length ,170 minutes, some shots are repetitive for a sports film it has to cut the flab.On the whole Paisa Vasool.
