A major chunk of the first half of the latest Dilieep starrer Prince and Family is in the typical zone of a comedy film featuring Dilieep. You have these giggle-worthy small jokes that sort of establish the life of this bachelor hero to the audience. There is even a subplot that addresses the age factor… Continue reading Prince and Family Review | In Search of Vintage Dileep, We Get a Boomer Preacher Dileep

Padakkalam Review | A Consistently Funny, Cleverly Written Fantasy Comedy
Padakkalam, the latest Friday Film House production directed by Manu Swaraj, is a fantasy comedy that gets the backing of clever writing. While the movie is effectively using the ability of its star cast to pull off humor on screen, what is refreshing here is how it uses the central idea to build an intricate… Continue reading Padakkalam Review | A Consistently Funny, Cleverly Written Fantasy Comedy
Sarkeet Review | A Pertinent ADHD Drama With Scope for Refinement in the Emotional Beats
Kids with ADHD are something we frequently hear in modern-day parenting, and frankly, not many movies have tried to address that as part of the central conflict of the film. Thamar’s new film after 1001 Nunakal, Sarkeet, is one movie that tries to club this idea with the survival struggle of one person. While the… Continue reading Sarkeet Review | A Pertinent ADHD Drama With Scope for Refinement in the Emotional Beats
Thudarum Review | A Well-Tailored Fan Service — Not for the Star, but for the Actor
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The idea of the new Malayalam movie Padakkuthira is so outdated and slim that it almost felt like a script Udaykrishna – Sibi K Thomas would have rejected twenty years ago.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
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
Bazooka Review | A Swanky Hollow Thriller That Even Mammootty Can’t Salvage
Bazooka, a game thriller that was long in the making, is ultimately a stretched-out ego trip of an individual. Looking at the number of flashy scenes that sort of make it look really expensive on screen, borrowing a phrase from the movie feels like an apt thing to describe the film – high risk, low… Continue reading Bazooka Review | A Swanky Hollow Thriller That Even Mammootty Can’t Salvage
