Pallotty 90’s Kids Review | A Passable Nostalgia Package With Two Standout Performers
Pallotty 90’s Kids, the latest Malayalam kids’ film presented by Lijo Jose Pellissery and directed by Jithin Raj, is a pretty simplistic take on friendship, and the highlight of the movie is the terrific performances of the two kids, Davinchi Santhosh and Neeraj Krishna, who shouldered this film with their brimming energy. By packaging the… Continue reading Pallotty 90’s Kids Review | A Passable Nostalgia Package With Two Standout Performers
Thrayam Review | A Shoddy Hyper-Linking Thriller That Can Mess With Your Temper
The movie Thrayam starts with the iconic quote by Quentin Tarantino – I didn’t go to film school. I went to films. And then there is one more quote from Udhayabhanu, the lead character of Udhayananu Thaaram. The movie here was so outdated that you might wonder which one was the last film the, Sanjith… Continue reading Thrayam Review | A Shoddy Hyper-Linking Thriller That Can Mess With Your Temper
Pani Review | The Remorseless Antagonists Elevate This Usual Gangster Flick to Another Level
The idea of the movie Pani, the directorial debut of actor Joju George, is pretty slim and, to an extent, guessable. But what really elevates this film is the realness in the character dynamics and construction of the remorseless villains. The story here tweaks the usual system versus the mafia template by putting the gangsters… Continue reading Pani Review | The Remorseless Antagonists Elevate This Usual Gangster Flick to Another Level

SPOILER ALERT! In the final moments of the film Bougainvillea, ACP David Koshy, played by Fahadh Faasil, talks about the bad guy as someone who managed to hide himself smartly, referencing the iconic The Usual Suspects line, “The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist.” While the style meets… Continue reading Bougainvillea Review | A Watchable Psycho-Thriller That Covers Its Predictability Issues With Style
Oru Kattil Oru Muri Review | An Outdated Relationship Drama With a Deliberately Scattered Script
Shanavas K Bavakkutty’s new film, Oru Kattil Oru Muri, is written by one of the finest writers in Malayalam cinema, Mr. Raghunath Paleri. In fact, more than the filmography of Shanavas, which has movies like Kismat and Thottappan, it was the Raghunath Paleri factor that gave me a feeling that something would be there in… Continue reading Oru Kattil Oru Muri Review | An Outdated Relationship Drama With a Deliberately Scattered Script
Pushpaka Vimanam Review | A Spoon-Fed, Watered-Down Version of Run Lola Run
There was this movie named Overtake in Malayalam that was released in 2017. It was a spoon-fed ripoff of Steven Spielberg’s Duel. Duel was one intense thriller where Spielberg never bothered about giving backstories to the audience, and the chase was enough to captivate you. But when it became a Malayalam film, there was an… Continue reading Pushpaka Vimanam Review | A Spoon-Fed, Watered-Down Version of Run Lola Run
