You may laugh out loud at some key moments of the film, but still at the end of it all Talvar kind of leaves you in a dilemma about the incapability of our judicial system.

The Martian
It isn’t essentially that perfect space journey thriller which convinces you completely. The Martian from director Ridley Scott ultimately is a survival story of a cool headed astronaut and why it works for you is because of the sort of coolness the hero showcases on screen. With the screenplay slightly missing the soulful presentation of… Continue reading The Martian
Oraalppokkam
In his movie Oraalppokkam that doesn’t even have a two hour long duration; Sanal Kumar Sasidharan has managed to squeeze in many perspectives and ideas in a way that leaves you lingering over those thoughts.

Life of Josutty
Well they have given the warning that Life of Josutty from Jeethu Joseph won’t have any sort of twist and suspense similar to the last two films of the director. The movie would have worked big time if it had a relatable amount of life in it. Made on a highly melodramatic preachy platform, Life… Continue reading Life of Josutty
Kohinoor
A heist movie set in the year 1988, Vinay Govind’s second venture after Kili Poyi, Kohinoor is a non boring entertainer that lacks an exciting suspense and needs much more unpredictability. Through the scattered witty moments that work because of the performances, the movie manages to stay alive, but at the end of it all… Continue reading Kohinoor
