Pappachan Olivilanu Review | An Overdone Wannabe Vellimoonga With a Clueless Script
The initial moments of most movies, especially if the genre is a comedy, will give you an idea about whether the makers have clarity about how to pull it off. Pappachan Olivilanu from Sinto Sunny is that muddled comedy that pretty much exposes its unsure nature from the beginning.

Article 21 Review | A Cinematic Extension of a Lame ‘Right-To-Education’ Government Ad
In the last half an hour of the movie Article 21, we see the introduction of a character named Lenin, played by Bineesh Kodiyeri.

Bhagavan Dasante Ramarajyam Review | A Satire With Great Relevance but No Sharpness
Bhagavan Dasante Ramarajyam, directed by Rasheed Parambil, is a political satire that wants to talk about the communal tension that has got developed in our country.

Valatty Review | A Safe Bet Sweet Kids’ Film That Capitalizes on the Adorability
Directed by Devan, the new Friday Film House production Valatty is that safe and simple generic kids’ film that engages you with its humor. With the inherent cuteness of the dogs making it pleasing for the eyes, Valatty manages to be that nonboring entertainer with nothing particularly spectacular about it. As the name suggests, the… Continue reading Valatty Review | A Safe Bet Sweet Kids’ Film That Capitalizes on the Adorability
Padmini Review | The Consistency in Humor Makes It an Enjoyable, Light-Hearted Comedy
Padmini, the new Malayalam film from Senna Hegde, works very well as this light-hearted comedy because of the way the writing places conflicts and characters in the screenplay. Constructed as the efforts of a 36-year-old man to get married, this Kunchako Boban starrer is consistently humorous, and the situations they have created in the narration… Continue reading Padmini Review | The Consistency in Humor Makes It an Enjoyable, Light-Hearted Comedy
