This boxer delivers both punches and misses

The striking aspect about Bhooloham is that it is essentially a sports film unlike most which merely use sports as a backdrop. Boxing takes centrestage right at the beginning and everything that happens is atleast remotely connected to it. The love track is almost non existent if you excuse a couple of forgettable scenes. The film has a sense of direction throughout. (more)

Packs A Punch But Fails To Knockout

Kudos to the director Kalyanakrishnan for taking us back in time to educate about the history of boxing in Tamil Nadu. This, along with many other interesting sequences in the first half makes it an interesting watch. (more)

Bhooloham fails to knock-out but manages a slight punch

Indian films are majorly backed by the department of music. One of the major drawbacks of this Kalyanakrishnan�s directorial is Srikanth Deva�s music. The songs and the BGM have a wide scope for betterment. Repetitive usage of a template sound loop for each particular character in the BGM troubles the overall experience in a big way. (more)

Movie Review

Director Kalyanakrishnan's filmmaking style is loud but it suits the tone of the writing and given that the characters, too, are written as over-the-top individuals, the film doesn't grate once we have settled in after the first few minutes. The milieu of the film feels authentic and that is the director's biggest triumph. (more)
