To write good reviews, you need to read some first. Please read these two reviews and note how the reviewer has analyzed the movie and given his opinion, instead of just narrating the story.
- Evano Oruvan by Balaji
- Don by Bharadwaj Rangan
Don’t say “Performance of X was apt”. Show us with examples. Be specific with details.
Now you need to read some really bad reviews too
Please don’t write stuff like that. When we read a review, we want to know why you liked it or why you hated it with details.

the prerequisites for reviews of films seem to be highly restrictive according to me..for ex. a good film doesnt necessarily have a story at all..are we not simplifying the act of review or criticism if we religiously stick to a rigid format..i feel for reviews to be creative the terms of reference have to be more liberal…as one of the mavericks of films commented a film does need a beginning middle and an end but not necessarily in that order.
