In the current world politics, we can all see the dominance of extremism and how the typically neutral people have been inclined towards such extremist narratives. MA Nishad, with his new movie Iyer in Arabia, has plans to tap into that space and create a satire. But rather than the paper-cutting knowledge of the situation,… Continue reading Iyer In Arabia Review | A Wasted Opportunity to Create a Pertinent Political Satire

LLB Review | A Bland Sentimental Package With Heavily Outdated Cliches
The new Sreenath Bhasi film LLB has this tagline – Life Line of Bachelors. The connection of the movie with LLB will make you feel cheated, the same way some of the students of Zamorins Guruvayurappan College, who attended the show I watched, felt hoping to watch them on screen. Directed by AM Sidhique, LLB… Continue reading LLB Review | A Bland Sentimental Package With Heavily Outdated Cliches
Malaikottai Vaaliban Review | Lijo Jose Pellissery’s Fantasy Drama Is an Underwhelming Genre Mishmash
The main issue I had with Lijo Jose Pellissery’s Double Barrel was how he pushed the eccentricity of scenes for the sake of humor beyond a point. Even though Malaikottai Vaaliban, his first association with Mohanlal, is not really in a similar space, there are areas in the film where Lijo uses creative liberty to… Continue reading Malaikottai Vaaliban Review | Lijo Jose Pellissery’s Fantasy Drama Is an Underwhelming Genre Mishmash
Vivekanandan Viralaanu Review | When You Take the “Woke” Path Just for the Sake of It
In the last few years, if you look at the contents of our movies, especially the ones that claim to be pertinent, have been audited by the audience for their political correctness and progressiveness. Even writers have famously said that they sort of double-check it with others to make sure that they don’t eventually end… Continue reading Vivekanandan Viralaanu Review | When You Take the “Woke” Path Just for the Sake of It
Qalb Review | Gen Z Talks the Boomer Language in This Cringe-Fest Romeo and Juliet
Qalb, the third movie directed by Sajid Yahiya, is basically yet another adaptation of the classic Romeo and Juliet template. I can agree with the fact that romance can be extremely cheesy for those involved in it. But even cheesiness has that guilty pleasure relatability that makes those movies hits. But in the case of… Continue reading Qalb Review | Gen Z Talks the Boomer Language in This Cringe-Fest Romeo and Juliet
Abraham Ozler Review | A Mixed-Bag Thriller With Sporadic Moments of Excitement
Abraham Ozler, the new thriller directed by Midhun Manuel Thomas, which pretty much marks a comeback of Jayaram, is a mixed-bag thriller that tries really hard to work on its generic beats. While Midhun may have said in the promotional interviews that the movie isn’t something similar to Anjaam Paathiraa, as a viewer, you can… Continue reading Abraham Ozler Review | A Mixed-Bag Thriller With Sporadic Moments of Excitement
Raastha Review | Aneesh Anwar’s Film Is a Forced and Stretched-Out Survival Drama
The survival drama format is always dependent on the backdrop of the main characters and the way they are led to that scenario. The issue with the new Aneesh Anwar film Raastha, which tries out a mini Aadu Jeevitham in its script is that it just can’t develop something that looks organic on screen. With… Continue reading Raastha Review | Aneesh Anwar’s Film Is a Forced and Stretched-Out Survival Drama
Aattam Review | Anand Ekarshi’s Social Critique Confidently Explores the Grey
Ever since the Me Too movement happened and women started calling out their abusers, there have been these discussions around the ones who spoke out, tarnishing their image and questioning their integrity. While on the periphery, all those questions felt sensible, if you listen to those questions carefully, you can sense that layer of judgment… Continue reading Aattam Review | Anand Ekarshi’s Social Critique Confidently Explores the Grey
