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

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

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.

It has its flaws in terms of scripting, but some impressive performances and engaging humor throughout the content… Continue reading Honey Bee

It seems that we are quite reluctant to see reality onscreen. Watching Shyamaprasad’s English among an audience who were just looking for the catered fun was indeed a disappointing experience. A movie rich with real emotions deserved a much better acceptance. The film is a parallel narrative that throws light on the goodness of the… Continue reading English
