The initial portions of the latest Tharun Moorthy film, Thudarum, are very simple, similar to something like Drishyam, where you see the banter-humor between the characters played by Mohanlal and Shobana. And in those areas, there are far too many references to Mohanlal’s movies, but with a trolling sense of humor. The mention of the… Continue reading Thudarum Review | A Well-Tailored Fan Service — Not for the Star, but for the Actor
Padakkuthira Review | A Lame Investigative Thriller Filled With Forgettable Comedic Gags
The idea of the new Malayalam movie Padakkuthira is so outdated and slim that it almost felt like a script Udaykrishna – Sibi K Thomas would have rejected twenty years ago. This is a movie that is supposed to be an investigative journalism thriller. But the substance in this cliched story is so minimal that… Continue reading Padakkuthira Review | A Lame Investigative Thriller Filled With Forgettable Comedic Gags
Kesari Chapter 2 Review | A Forgotten Hero Remembered With Crowd-Pleasing Theatrics
There are not many books or movies or references about barrister C. Sankaran Nair, and hence, when an Akshay Kumar movie was announced where he was playing a Malayali, which later went on to become a part of the Kesari franchise, many were ignorant about this individual.

Sinners Review | An Impactful Amalgamation of History, Fiction, and the Blues
It will be safe to say that post the success of Jordan Peele’s Get Out, we were able to see a lot of genre films that sort of showed the hardships and the cultural roots of the black community.

Good Bad Ugly Review | A First-Of-Its-Kind, 141-Minute-Long, CBFC-Certified Mashup Video
Let me begin this review by saying if you are that diehard fan who would scream “Kadavuley Ajithey” despite your star requesting not to do that, you do not need any review to watch this movie, and this review is not at all for such an individual. A movie having fan service moments is a… Continue reading Good Bad Ugly Review | A First-Of-Its-Kind, 141-Minute-Long, CBFC-Certified Mashup Video
Maranamass Review | A Laugh Riot That Effectively Uses Its Character Pool
Nunakkuzhi and Vaazha were two hit films that were released last year on August 15th. While Nunakkuzhi was a comedy with a complex plot of confusion and chaos, Vaazha became a success with a lot of hilarious elements that had relatability attached to it. I am talking about these two films in my review of… Continue reading Maranamass Review | A Laugh Riot That Effectively Uses Its Character Pool
Alappuzha Gymkhana Review | A Clutter Breaker Sports Drama That Offers a Thorough Fun Ride
Alappuzha Gymkhana, the new movie from Khalid Rahman starring Naslen and a whole bunch of young talents, is not a plot-heavy film. In fact, the movie’s structure is not even your usual underdog story. But like how Rahman took the challenge of making this chaotic fun ride in Thallumala, he is depending on his ability… Continue reading Alappuzha Gymkhana Review | A Clutter Breaker Sports Drama That Offers a Thorough Fun Ride
