Bullet Diaries Review | Yet Another Friday, Yet Another Dhyan Sreenivasan Debacle

Written and directed by Santhosh Mandoor, Bullet Diaries, starring Dhyan Sreenivasan, is a lazy drama that just wants to utilize the love for Bullet on a very peripheral level.

Ennennum / Now and Forever Review | Exploring the Concept of Love in a Manipulative and Customizable Future

Shalini Ushadevi’s directorial venture, Ennennum (Now and Forever), is a smart emotional drama that is set in a dystopian future / present.

What is peculiar and impressive about Prasanna Vithanage’s Paradise is its gaze that tries to interpret Ramayana differently.
