Pakida

Many movies where made in the recent past focusing on the harassment faced by women. Most of these films failed in becoming a real eye opener and Sunil Karyattukara’s Pakida is no different from the others in terms of quality. If having some social commitment in the script is enough to please you, this film may well be… Continue reading Pakida

Salaam Kashmir

Salaam Kashmir was there in the news for the continuous postponement of its release and you can’t really blame the audience if they became skeptical about the movie. After watching Salaam Kashmir you are not going to believe all those technical reasons they said. A mediocre script filled with awkward explanations and reasoning that will at times make… Continue reading Salaam Kashmir

Balyakalasakhi

Balyakalasakhi as a book is indeed a classic but in the form of a cinema it hasn’t reached that stature. The scope of making this story to an eternal love story on silver screen is a difficult task (my personal opinion after reading the book) and the new comer Pramod Payyannur has managed to do… Continue reading Balyakalasakhi

Ohm Shanthi Oshaana

Ohm Shanthi Oshaana from Jude Anthany Joseph is a film that has some exaggerations and immaturity in its content. But with the humor in the treatment and also with the cunning extraction of the leading lady, this one is a good fun watch. The story is a woman centric one and the protagonist here is Pooja Mathew the… Continue reading Ohm Shanthi Oshaana

Chayiliam

Its almost the same topic that we have seen in films like Thaniyavarthanam and even in Paithrukam where we can see a conflict between science and myths. Chayiliam explores the same subject through another perspective. A society that doesn’t question the rituals that drives them is the target here. The story is focusing on Gauri… Continue reading Chayiliam

London Bridge

Luxury and some scenery of London and its outskirts is rich in almost all frames of London Bridge. But the very necessary thing in a romantic drama is missing here; romance. With a robotic heroin spoiling the party, this comeback film of Anil C Menon is a disappointment. Vijay Das is a business man in… Continue reading London Bridge

1983

An elegantly made charming film with abundant humor and sensible emotions. With perfect casting and sound visuals to enhance its quality, this movie from debutante director Abrid Shine is a pleasure ride. Comparing it with Lagaan is total rubbish; all I could sense was a distant similarity with Nagesh Kukunoor’s Iqbal. But by reinventing that basic thought the writers of the movie… Continue reading 1983

Mannar Mathai Speaking 2

After the disastrous outing of Geethaanjali (which took characters from the classic Manichithrathazhu) my hopes on Mannar Mathai Speaking 2 wasn’t that high. May be because of that I didn’t felt the movie as a boring one. The second part of Mannar Mathai Speaking (third one in the franchise) directed by Mamas is a watchable… Continue reading Mannar Mathai Speaking 2
