Manthiri Kumari

New review is of a Tamil movie released in 1950, Manthiri Kumari.

Reviewing these films have left me little time for writing anything else, though tres facile and silly they require a fair bit of work. I wouldn't have watched these films were it not for writing the reviews for my cousin - perhaps a good thing as the earlier reviews of arthouse flicks on this site perhaps just have the one interested reader :-).  It's been an interesting exercise and makes me appreciate commercial films (for lack of a better word) a little more.  Manthiri Kumari for e.g. is a crowd pleaser and inordinately long but once you enter into the spirit of the thing it proves to be quite a delectable film.

And some random pictures I took this week.

Gerberas

Such a tiring week.

Review of Mr and Mrs 55 here.

And a pic of the pretty terracotta coloured gerberas in my office this week.
