Neelakasham Pachakadal Chuvanna Bhoomi

Commercially appealing, partially intellectual and a narrative that’s quite refreshing. Sameer Thahir’s latest film Neelakasham Pachakadal Chuvanna Bhoomi is a film that should be acknowledged for its freshness in treatment. Within the frame of a road movie, they have conveyed the “self realization” idea in a convincing way. Kasi and Suni are close friends. Suni… Continue reading Neelakasham Pachakadal Chuvanna Bhoomi

Kadal Kadannu Oru Maathukutty

The movies Pranchiyettan and Indian Rupee where good satires that visualized the inferiority complex, ego and greediness of human beings in a very realistic way. When film maker Ranjith returns to the director’s chair with his new movie Kadal Kadannu Oru Maathukutty, what really missing is the freshness in content. Even though the maker manages… Continue reading Kadal Kadannu Oru Maathukutty

A tiring first half that fails to establish a sensible love story and a silly second half that can’t take the… Continue reading Crocodile Love Story

But sadly, the coolness was limited to the main protagonist and the key relationship factor never really got enough time to make its foundation strong. Buddy directed… Continue reading Buddy

Paisa Paisa

The idea of Paisa Paisa is really appealing when you look at it as a short film. It’s one of those situational thrillers that utilize the desperation in humans. But sadly Paisa Paisa can’t reach its goal because of predictability and lack of total conviction. In an attempt to lock the protagonists from possible aids,… Continue reading Paisa Paisa

God For Sale

Technically mediocre and a dull content that can’t reach its goal; the latest Babu Janardhanan film, God For Sale is a really disappointing satire. Apart from some out of the safe zone performances from the leading actors, the movie never really manages to engage its viewer with its sarcasm. Trying to narrate the whole life… Continue reading God For Sale

5 Sundarikal

The anthology tribute to the 100 year celebration of Indian cinema, 5 Sundarikal produced and co-directed by Amal Neerad is a surprise when you look at the works of the relatively unaccomplished directors. The directors who can be considered as the cream of the crop in the so called ‘New Generation’ trend proves that they… Continue reading 5 Sundarikal
