The unconventional off beat style used for AKAM is not something new for us. But the question I found asking myself is how appropriate that style was to this kind of a theme. Based on Malayattoor Ramakrishnan’ famous work “Yakshi”, this film from Shalini Usha Nair is something that lacks clarity. The vague memories of… Continue reading Akam

Something difficult to convey is conveyed in a somewhat convincing way. That’s what I felt about director K B Venu’s August Club starring Rima Kallingal, Murali Gopi and Praveen Anidil.

It is a movie that is targeted for the audience who are there to laugh for the spontaneous humor. With a formula script that fails to… Continue reading Sound Thoma

One more movie from Lal Jose that has its heart in the right place. Immanuel from director Lal Jose is a story about man who spreads his little share of happiness and goodness into the corporate world were companies squeeze out every bit of humanity in its employees by making them helpless. With a fresh… Continue reading Immanuel

Actor Bala tried to fulfill his wishes to do an over the top hero character in the movie hit list. This time famous comedian Guinness Pakru tries his luck in the box office in similar fashion with his film Kutteem Kolum. Well known for his comical characters in the silver screen, Pakru bizarrely tries to… Continue reading Kutteem Kolum
