Falimy Review | A Well-Written Dysfunctional Family Drama With Just the Right Amount of Humor
From the trailer, promotion materials, and even the title, it was kind of evident that Nithish Sahadev’s debut directorial, Falimy, is a dysfunctional family drama. What was to be seen was how they packaged it, and whether it had that entertainment quotient one expects to see in a big-screen comedy. With moments unfolding very gradually… Continue reading Falimy Review | A Well-Written Dysfunctional Family Drama With Just the Right Amount of Humor
Vela Review | An Earnest Attempt at a Thriller With Minor Predictability Issues
Vela, the new Shane Nigam starrer with Sunny Wayne playing the antagonist, is a very interesting mix of police procedural, caste politics, and revenge.

Imbam Review | In Terms of Quality, the Movie Has No Correlation With Its Title
It is expected to have aspirations as a filmmaker to create a campus movie or a political thriller.

Otta Review | An Insufferably Bland Film About Toxic Parenting
Being a true story or based on real persons can, at times, be an excuse to cover up the inability of the filmmakers to create something emotionally connecting. Otta, the debut directorial of renowned sound designer Resul Pookutty, sadly belongs to that category of films. The movie is supposed to tell the story of two… Continue reading Otta Review | An Insufferably Bland Film About Toxic Parenting
