Parankimala

The existence of true love in a lust filled society was something that made the 1981 Bharathan film Parankimala a different romeo and Juliet. But when it comes to the remake they have tried to create some difference by changing the narration style to a flash back mode and it eventually ruined the romance in… Continue reading Parankimala

Praise The Lord

The film opens to a chaos of technical mistakes starting from the painfully mixed song and a Goa sequence where you can clearly see two Suresh Krishnas. The intention of the makers of Praise the lord is to create some humor on the silver screen with the unique characters they have in the story. But… Continue reading Praise The Lord

Konthayum Poonoolum

The treatment of the first half of the film Konthayum Poonoolum doesn’t have anything really innovative and in fact our experiences with the usual horror films might make things slightly funny.

Swapaanam

It’s another interpretation from director Shaji N Karun on the familiar topic of the personal life of artists. Swapaanam discusses the story of an artist whose feelings never got recognition from the world around him. Unlike many films where only one person has to face the society’s ideology, here we have both protagonists suffering the… Continue reading Swapaanam

Happy Journey

The biggest challenge for director Boban Samuel’s new film Happy Journey is the fact that 1983 is still running in the theaters.

The idea of Happy Journey is… Continue reading Happy Journey
