Autorickshawkarante Bharya, which marks the debut of writer M Mukundan as a scriptwriter, is a mediocre movie with outdated sensibilities. With the kind of writing that has stereotypical characters and cheesy plot points, Autorickshawkarante Bharya almost becomes a time travel experience as every formula they have applied was last seen nearly 10 or 20 years… Continue reading Autorickshawkarante Bharya Review | A Heavily Cliched Drama With Outdated Cinematic Sensibility

Kumari Review | An Exhausting Fantasy With Exquisite Production Quality
Kumari, the second movie from Nirmal Sahadev, is a fantasy that fails to tell the story in a captivating way. The production quality of the film is genuinely excellent. But the storytelling feels very basic, and the lack of zest in its narrative makes it so exhausting that you won’t feel like appreciating it for… Continue reading Kumari Review | An Exhausting Fantasy With Exquisite Production Quality
Jaya Jaya Jaya Jaya Hey Review | A Hilarious Marriage Drama That Packs a Punch
Jaya Jaya Jaya Jaya Hey is not the kind of political film that is going to have The Great Indian Kitchen kind of impact on you. Vipin Das’ film is a hilarious drama about the inequalities in a marriage that works mainly as an escapist fun film for women who are tired of explaining themselves.… Continue reading Jaya Jaya Jaya Jaya Hey Review | A Hilarious Marriage Drama That Packs a Punch
Appan Review | An Appreciable Family Drama With an Inconsistent Emotional Graph
One thing that makes Appan a novel attempt is the multiple ways of reading it offers to the viewer. Maju’s second film after French Viplavam looks like a dark comedy initially. Then it shifts to a tale about domestic abuse, eventually becoming a traditional revenge drama. Even though the depiction of the intensity of the… Continue reading Appan Review | An Appreciable Family Drama With an Inconsistent Emotional Graph
Padavettu Review | A Well-Crafted Film Whose Politics Got Cramped
The way the story of Padavettu escalates from a man’s personal evolution to a tale about land politics is extremely abrupt. Liju Krishna’s first film is a well-crafted film that seems to lose its rhythm somewhere during its transition from the second act to the third act. With some interestingly written characters and memorable performances,… Continue reading Padavettu Review | A Well-Crafted Film Whose Politics Got Cramped
Monster Review | A Monstrous Debacle That Only Udaykrishna Will Find Different
I would say director Vysakh is a clever man in terms of making a film and promoting a film. In the promo material of the movie, he clearly stated that it is a different film for him and his writer Udaykrishna, which means you need to check the standard of their films before judging Monster.… Continue reading Monster Review | A Monstrous Debacle That Only Udaykrishna Will Find Different
Vichitram Review | A Flawed Yet Appreciable Haunted House Thriller
Vichitram, directed by Achu Vijayan, is definitely following a template that is familiar to us. But it isn’t a movie that is devoid of craft. In every horror movie with a ghost, there will be a part that will show a detailed flashback about what happened. Even though there is a lack of clarity in… Continue reading Vichitram Review | A Flawed Yet Appreciable Haunted House Thriller
Varaal Review | Thamarakkulam’s Political Thriller Is Better off as a Lucifer Spoof
Kannan Thamarakkulam is a director who has maintained consistency in keeping his movies in that trashy space. Writer Anoop Menon has shown interest in that trashy terrain through his last two directorial ventures, Padma and King Fish. Varaal, the new Malayalam political thriller, marks the teaming up of these two talents, and barring the length… Continue reading Varaal Review | Thamarakkulam’s Political Thriller Is Better off as a Lucifer Spoof
