7th day directed by debutante Shyamdhar is like a test match that goes on without much excitement but becomes exceedingly exciting after the tea session of the fifth days play. It is much similar in mood with Prithviraj Sukumaran’s earlier film Masters and quite a few flawed thrillers in the recent history of Malayalam industry,… Continue reading 7th day

The very last moment of the Aashiq Abu film Gangster has it saying something different from what we used to see in these gangster movies. But apart from a few scenes that praises the attitude of Akbar Ali Khan, the movie fails in creating a fresh wave which I believe the trailer was able to… Continue reading Gangster

Faizal Ali’s impressive cinematography is the main thing that saves the movie Onnum Mindathe from being an irritating experience. Built on the same platform of the 80’s films that had these extra marital affairs and family destruction as the theme, Onnum Mindathe from the Ordinary director Sugeeth becomes really ordinary with huge amount of melodrama… Continue reading Onnum Mindathe

With a  friendship that desperately tries to look cool and some attempts to show the negative side of some people using the old… Continue reading Hangover

Its a political thriller that lacks thrill and fire. Directed by Kareem, Parayan Bakki Vechathu is just a repeat telecast of many films we have seen in the past that includes the corruption and hidden agendas of bureaucrats and political parties. This film tries to incorporate latest developments in the political environment but the creative… Continue reading Parayan Bakki Vechathu
