Sibi Malayil is a filmmaker who has made masterpieces whenever he has opted for character-oriented dramas. His combination with Lohithadas was always cinematically compelling as they portrayed their heroes as vulnerable human beings. This character-oriented approach has been missing in Sibi Malayil’s films in the last decade or so. I am not saying his new… Continue reading Kotthu

Visudha Mejo
In a way, Visudha Mejo is a risky film from a filmmaking point of view. Dinoy Paulose as a writer, is entering a zone where he is talking about an insensitive stalker who falls in love with his childhood crush. And the guy is the hero of this movie, and the cinema empathizes with him.… Continue reading Visudha Mejo
Oru Thekkan Thallu Case
Oru Thekkan Thallu Case, the new film starring Biju Menon and Roshan Mathew in pivotal roles, is yet another tale that revolves around the male ego. The movie, directed by Sreejith N, is struggling from the lack of a solid-enough presentation of its conflict. It was actually towards the last half an hour of this… Continue reading Oru Thekkan Thallu Case

Palthu Janwar
Palthu Janwar perhaps belongs to that niche of films that are feel-good in nature yet close to reality. The movie, directed by Sangeeth P Rajan, uses the theme of overcoming setbacks in a very grounded way. Even though a central conflict doesn’t drive the film, hope is ultimately the driving element of the story. With… Continue reading Palthu Janwar
Sundari Gardens
Sundari Gardens has this aspiration to analyze a character rarely explored in our mainstream cinema. And the movie by Charlie Davis prefers this Jis Joy-ish feel-good template to do that. In the initial portions, when we see the free-flowing life of our heroine, it feels like a breezy comedy. But as the movie tries to… Continue reading Sundari Gardens
Peace
Peace, the new dark comedy directed by Sanfeer, is a quirky experiment that is uneven yet very engaging. In the initial portions of the film, the narrative isn’t that smooth, and you feel a forceful effort to look cool. But once the triggering moment happens, it manages to grab the attention of the audience, and… Continue reading Peace
