ARM Ajayante Randam Moshanam Review | A Sincere Effort That Needed a Bit More Refinement
ARM, aka Ajayante Randam Moshanam, is one movie that has an evident earnest effort behind it. Even though it has Tovino Thomas in a triple role, the movie is not really designed as a star vehicle. I remember when Malaikottai Vaalibhan was released, the makers had to tell the audience they should view it as… Continue reading ARM Ajayante Randam Moshanam Review | A Sincere Effort That Needed a Bit More Refinement

Bharathanatyam Review | A Humorous and Sensitive Take on the ‘Mookambika’ Cinematic Trope
SPOILER ALERT! The trailer of the movie Bharathanatyam has a very chaotic tempo, and in the promotional interviews of the movie, they haven’t revealed the film’s plot.

Footage Review | Saiju Sreedharan’s Debut Directorial Venture Is Earnest but Inconsistent
The directorial debut of renowned editor Saiju Sreedharan, Footage, belongs to the found footage genre of films, and it is a thriller. If you look at the movie’s story, it is a very linear revenge story from the antagonist’s point of view. Saiju Sreedharan and his co-writer Shabna Mohammed have gone for a tweaked treatment… Continue reading Footage Review | Saiju Sreedharan’s Debut Directorial Venture Is Earnest but Inconsistent

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
