In the very opening scene of the latest Shaji Kailas supernatural horror thriller, Hunt, the dialogue that comes from each character is so stiff that the word outdated immediately comes to your mind. Hunt is trying to be a blend of investigative thriller and parapsychological horror. But because of the severely outdated making style that… Continue reading Hunt Review | An Outdated Supernatural Horror Thriller With Zero Takeaways

Vaazha Review | A Gallery Pleasing Entertainer That Thrives on Relatability
If you look at the trailer of the film Vaazha, the impression it will give you is that it is going to be this blind worshipping of the backbenchers simply to get the claps of those young folks who are perhaps in their late 20s. But this movie, written by Vipin Das and directed by… Continue reading Vaazha Review | A Gallery Pleasing Entertainer That Thrives on Relatability
Nunakkuzhi Review | A Hilariously Packed Situational Comedy With Top-Notch Performances
There is one hospital sequence in the second half of the new Jeethu Joseph film Nunakkuzhi featuring Basil Joseph, Baiju, Grace Antony, Azees Nedumangad, and Aju Varghese. It was a fairly lengthy sequence happening in one location, and the entire scene was a laugh riot.

Checkmate Review | An Atrocity Inflicted on Native Malayalis by NRI Malayalis

Super Zindagi Review | One More Debacle to the Disastrous Filmography of Dhyan Sreenivasan
During the routine promotional interview, Dhyan Sreenivasan said that filmmakers are not delusional, and they all very well know how good or bad a movie is, based on the final version. Well, what surprises me about a film like Super Zindagi is that the story idea is so pathetic that I don’t think anyone with common sense… Continue reading Super Zindagi Review | One More Debacle to the Disastrous Filmography of Dhyan Sreenivasan
Adios Amigo Review | A Dragged Second Half Diminishes the Charm of This Breezy Friendship Story
In the climax of the movie Adios Amigo, Suraj Venjaramood’s character hugs the character played by Asif Ali as a token of gratitude. The realness in the performance of Suraj was so moving that I hoped the second half of this movie written by Thankam had more juice in it to make us root for these… Continue reading Adios Amigo Review | A Dragged Second Half Diminishes the Charm of This Breezy Friendship Story
Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha Review | Neeraj Pandey’s Attempt at Romance Is Dated and Dented
Neeraj Pandey is a director who is mostly associated with fast-paced thrillers. Romance used to feel like a weak link in some of his movies. The Dhoni biopic was perhaps the only film in which I have felt that Neeraj Pandey had managed to depict romance in a convincing way. Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha,… Continue reading Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha Review | Neeraj Pandey’s Attempt at Romance Is Dated and Dented
