  Popcarn was realesed yesterday(Jan 29, 2003) in Tamil Nadu, India. I dont live in India so I cant watch the movie but I will soon. Nasser do different kind of movies. I think Popcarn is going to be a good movie. I hope it will be a hit(but I think it is going to a flop), Nassers others movies have flopped though his latest movie got good reviews. It is not a masala movie. I heard this movie is a about music and family.

  here is the first review
  
  Nasser is at it again, as he loves to rework classics. So in his latest film Pop Carn he has roped in Mohanlal, one of the finest actors in the country along with the number one actress Simran to make another classic loosely based on Kagaz Ke khool. But sorry Nasser buddy, you are not Guru Dutt. The screenplay is the biggest villain as the goings-on became so dense and bizarre that you wish Nasser had taken more care to make matters more simple engaging and palatable!
  
  The story is based on the ego clash between Vikramaditya (Mohanlal), a singer and his wife Jamuna (Simran), a fusion dancer. They got married due to admiration for each others work but Jamuna’s over ambitious nature and unexpected pregnancy leads to a small misunderstanding, and she walks out of Vikrama’s life in a huff with her new-born baby. After 18 years their daughter Megha (Jyothi) comes to perform in a Pop carnival, a National talent contest in Chennai along with her team led by her mother. Megha and a group of other performers set in search of her father and find him as an alcoholic who runs a petrol bunk. How she brings her parents together forms the rest of the story! But the flaws in the script and narration are far too many.
  
  Mohanlal (has put on a lot of weight) and Simran are the saving grace in this otherwise dragging film. The idea of Mohanlal dubbing in his own voice has fallen flat, as it sounds neither Tamil nor Malayalam. Jyothi who is Simran’s real life sister lacks screen presence and looks very ordinary. The film that is supposed to be a musical has no noteworthy songs and music director Yuvan Shankar Raja has let us down. Actor–director Nasser clearly seems to be out of his elements.
  
  Verdict: Total Let Down
