When you look at the latest movie, 2018, from Jude Anthany Joseph on a script level, the placement of characters and events is pretty generic. Since it is a story that is talking about an event that happened just five years back with too much coverage on it still accessible to many, the focus of… Continue reading 2018 Review | A Structurally Generic Disaster Film With a Brilliantly Executed Second Half

Paachuvum Albhuthavilakkum Review | Refurbished Anthikad Formula, but Funnier and Subtler
From the trailer itself, it was somewhat evident that Paachuvum Albhuthavilakkum, the debut directorial of Akhil Sathyan, is a film that is pretty much in the zone of the movies that his father, Sathyan Anthikad, used to make. When you look at the movie, that assumption is very much correct. But the good thing is… Continue reading Paachuvum Albhuthavilakkum Review | Refurbished Anthikad Formula, but Funnier and Subtler
Sulaikha Manzil Review | Ashraf Hamza’s Third Directorial Is an Entertainer Enjoyable in Parts
Ashraf Hamza’s latest film Sulaikha Manzil is an attempt to explore the pre-marriage tension among couples. While it captures the moments entertainingly, the graph is flat in terms of making any statements. Some of the areas they talk about these hastily set up arranged marriages hit the point effectively. At the same time, there are… Continue reading Sulaikha Manzil Review | Ashraf Hamza’s Third Directorial Is an Entertainer Enjoyable in Parts

Ayalvaashi Review | An Unfocused Comedy Built on a Fragile Plot
To create drama, you need conflicts in a story. But when those conflicts are pretty thin and feel forcefully added to the script to have some friction, the drama doesn’t hold, and the film fails to have that desired impact. Ayalvaashi, the debut directorial from Irshad Parari, is one such movie. They are talking about… Continue reading Ayalvaashi Review | An Unfocused Comedy Built on a Fragile Plot
Neelavelicham Review | A Visually Captivating Adaptation That Struggles to Handle Melodrama
Bhargavi Nilayam is that classic horror film that practically sets the tone for almost all horror films in Malayalam. The cliches we now talk about in horror films were introduced to the Malayalam industry by this film. In fact, virtually all the female ghost horror films in Malayalam were various iterations of Bhargavi Nilayam at… Continue reading Neelavelicham Review | A Visually Captivating Adaptation That Struggles to Handle Melodrama
Thaaram Theertha Koodaram Review | A Melodrama Overdose That Is Hard to Sit Through
The duo of Arjun Prabhakaran and Gokul Ramakrishnan has been making movies for almost 8 years now. But the disappointing thing about their films is that they still haven’t come out of that amateurish filmmaking space. They always have a theme, but when it comes to writing and execution, the melodrama in the content makes… Continue reading Thaaram Theertha Koodaram Review | A Melodrama Overdose That Is Hard to Sit Through
Adi Review | An Inept Mockery of the Fragile Male Ego
The 2019 movie Ishq directed by Anuraj Manohar, was a thriller that had this layer that mocked and criticized the fragile male ego. The movie never tried to sound preachy or woke with its dialogues. It was that quality that made Ishq a compelling cinema. The latest production from Dulquer Salmaan, Adi, directed by Prasobh… Continue reading Adi Review | An Inept Mockery of the Fragile Male Ego
