Summary: Who defines DHARMA!!!

Characters:
R Madhavan is Vikram who is an encounter specialist.

Sharddha Srinath is Priya, a lawyer and Vikram's wife.
Kathir is Pulli and Vedha's brother.
Varalaxmi is Chandra, Pulli's child hood friend and lover.
Synopsys:
Vikram is a honest cop. He and his encounter team kill dreaded gangsters and people on the wrong side of law. Vikram is very proud of the fact that they are good guys and they eliminate the bad guys. His conscience is clear and he gets a good night's sleep even after an encounter. Vedha is a dreaded gangster and is in Vikram's list to eliminate. Vedha surrenders unexpectedly. Vikram's team starts to interrogate him but he does not say anything until Vikram's turn comes. Vedha tells Vikram that he wants to tell his story and starts to talk about his early life and how he became the gangster that he is. Vikram reluctantly starts to listen to Vedha's story while Priya enters to get Vedha out on bail. Why Vedha decides to surrender unexpectedly and starts taking to Vikram is the crux of the story?

Review: Similar to Vikram and Bethaal, where Bethaal asks questions and King Vikram answers them as per his understanding of Dharma, the movie emphasises about the perspective of good and bad in our actions. The cop, Vikram sees the world in black and white and the gangster, Vedha using a series of short probing stories tries to get Vikram to see the gray in between. Actors Madhavan as Vikram and Vijay as Sethupathi are brilliant. Kathir, Sharddha Varalaxmi have small roles and play their parts well. The tight screenplay is riveting and will keep the audience engaged till the end. Directors have done a amazing job. Go and Watch this movie even now on ZEE5!

Review of Telugu Movie - World Famous Lover

Genre - Romance
Actors - Vijay Devarakonda, Rashi Khanna, Aishwarya Rajesh
Director - Kranthi Madhav
Year of Release - 2020
Review: I recently decided to watch World Famous Lover on Netflix. It was a torture to see such a bad film. There is no coherent story. The lead actor is an wannabe writer who cannot write anything that he likes for more than a year. He is in live-in relationship with the actress (who cannot act ... I do not know from where they did these people ... at least send them to an acting school) who is suffering for more than a year and we have to suffer watching them for the 1st 30 mins till the suffering ends for both her and for me who is watching. Then she verbally blasts the hero and leaves. Then our hurt hero starts to write about unconditional love and sacrifice ... year right... the hero thens comes up with two stories ... one in some remote town and the other in Paris. The village story is the same that we would have seen a hundred times in many movies ... the other women ... devoted wife ... husband coming back ... and the paris story ... the LIVING hero donates both his eyes to provide vision for the pilot girl friend ... hey ram ... then ... some more torture and finally the hero comes back to actual world ... blah blah blah ... and finally he reconciles with his live-in partner.... and the torture ends ...
What is good in the film? - Except Aishwarya Rajesh's acting, nothing is good. She deserves good films... should stick to Tamil films with better story lines....
What is bad? - Do not get me started again...
