Adanga Maru movie review: This Jayam Ravvi starrer is strictly a one-time watch.

Adanga Maru movie cast: Jayam Ravvi, Raashi Khanna, Ponvannan, Sampath Raj
Adanga Maru movie director: Karthik Thangavel
Adanga Maru movie rating: 3 stars


Karthik Thanigavel’s Adanga Maru starts off with the usual entry scene of any cop-based film in Kollywood. The low-angle shot starting from his boots, the slow-mo, the over-dramatic BGM and even a random act of heroism where he saves a student from a fire-torch is used to introduce Subash (Jayam Ravi). He is a new Sub-Inspector who has been on the job for only 4 days and yet he is asked to handle a protest situation involving students. In the first half, the movie is in a hurry to establish the core qualities of Subash. He is dedicated to his family. He is a doting uncle who loves his nieces. He is also all set to tie the knot with his longtime girlfriend Anita (Rashi Khanna). We also learn that he is a hacker and can throw a mean punch.


Subash is an IPS aspirant and wants to do right by his job but is constantly told off by his superior officer to “obey the order”. He is seen getting increasingly frustrated with his own police force, but he also knows how to work around the system. More than once, he tells the public how to instigate law enforcement. He works hard on the apparent rape and murder case of a girl named Parvathy, but is ordered to write it off as another suicide case, while the perpetrators walk free. He is suspended and goes home to find his family murdered. The film immediately shifts to a revenge plotline and the story picks up pace.


In a role that requires him to be angry and frustrated most of the time, Jayam Ravi is convincing. There are multiple loopholes in the film but as viewers, we don’t get the time to dwell on them because of the pace. Ravi engages in a cat-and-mouse game with his own department and even taps in on the anger of the public and engages them in a “mobile game” to kill one of the rapists.


Kollywood has done to death the revenge storyline but somehow Adanga Maru is engaging. However, the movie is confused about its message. It starts off by outlining the lethargy and corruption inside a police organisation and then talks about women’s safety.


A more nuanced, well thought-out storyline with better CGI could have definitely elevated the revenge saga. Adanga Maru is strictly a one-time watch.

XXX: Language Album Review | Pitchfork

, Download New Movie Hip-hop in South Korea has made it over to the mainstream, partly due to the massively popular music competition show “ Show Me the Money ,” which is like is like “X-Factor” with more hypebeasts in bucket hats. As the reality TV program has gained popularity, major Korean record labels have become more willing to invest in burgeoning rap stars instead of the typical idol or group. XXX’s Kim Ximya, who raps on top of production by the duo’s other half FRNK, has suggested that the commercialism of Korean rap has killed the authenticity of the genre, as it increasingly mirrors the formulaic nature of K-pop. “For most of the Korean rapper population, I feel they did not write about what they actually felt or what they were actually doing,” Kim said in an interview with Billboard . “They were making music they thought people would like to hear.” On their debut album Language , XXX present themselves as the alternative to the sanitized, hyper-glossy rap music typically p...

The Top 20 most popular phones of 2018

, Download New Movie We are sending away 2018 and we look back and see what were the most popular phones over the past year. While there are 20 phones in the yearly selection, the list of manufacturers is scarce. To be more precise, two out of every three devices come from either Xiaomi or Samsung. Samsung brought us 7 of the most popular phones in 2018 - hardly a surprise that the world's largest manufacturer dominates the popularity chart. Somewhat less expected is that Xiaomi got 6. Last year , the number for the Korean manufacturer was the same, but the Chinese maker is up by one, showcasing that the global trend of Xiaomi catching up to the big guys is on every level. The most popular phone of 2018 was the Redmi Note 5 Pro and it completely smashed any competition. It was so popular, that the other two Xiaomis following couldn’t gather the same number of hits even if they combined their powers. Samsung eventually caught up with the Galaxy A8 (2018). The love for midrangers is...
