When I saw the trailer of the movie Kalki, it lacked a punch which one expects in a so-called mass action movie with an alpha male. If you have felt the same way, then I can tell you that the movie is pretty much an elaborated version of that trailer in terms of feel. There… Continue reading Kalki

In the last 20 minutes of the movie Ormayil Oru Shishiram, you will get to know the reason why this concept got converted into a movie. Ormayil Oru Shishiram is basically a beta version of Vinnaithaandi Varuvaaya. But unlike Vinnaithaandi Varuvaaya, here the love story is an absolute dud with excessively cheesy and silly writing.… Continue reading Ormayil Oru Shishiram

Fancy Dress, the new Guinness Pakru movie directed by Ranjith Skaria is one good example of terrible writing. The predictability of this movie is very high and there is absolutely zero importance for freshness. The only thing that is good about this film, in my opinion, is its duration of 124 minutes. The movie ended exactly at that point when you will feel that you can’t take it anymore.

If you are someone who has felt that the last movie of director Sreejith Vijayan, Kuttanadan Marppappa and the last hero outing of Bibin George, Oru Pazhaya Bomb Kadha are enjoyable films, then the new movie Margamkali that marks the first collaboration of these two might work for you as a passable entertainer. I personally am not a fan of the movies mentioned in the beginning and apart from a couple of humorous scenes Margamkali for me was a charmless effort at creating a love story. When Siddique cracked a Kaviyoor Ponnamma related joke towards the end, I really laughed thinking how good it would have been if the whole movie had that kind of sense of humor.

As a concept Thanneer Mathan Dinangal is a really vague idea that sort of captures the entire essence of the plus-two life. But I was having a really good time watching it, subconsciously wondering how smartly they carved a movie out of a simple structure. Thanneer Mathan Dinangal was a hilarious ride with a lot… Continue reading Thanneer Mathan Dinangal

Watching the new Santhosh Nair movie Sachin, scripted by SL Puram Jayasurya would make you wonder whether they were scripting the movie as the shooting was progressing. I will be struggling really hard to write this review as this movie was making me say “What the hell” scene after scene! At one point the movie… Continue reading Sachin

Janamaithri, the new movie from Friday Film House falls under the absurd comedy genre. A genre the production house has attempted before through the Midhun Manuel Thomas franchise Aadu. I dragged that film into this review to give you an idea about the kind of comedy in this film. I am someone who has seen… Continue reading Janamaithri

If any of you have this feeling that the wacky style Lijo Jose Pellissery used in Amen and the typical emotional angle Rajkumar Hirani uses in his films are very easy filmmaking techniques, then Marconi Mathai from Sanil Kalathil will show you how bizarre such treatments can look if handled badly. Marconi Mathai is like… Continue reading Marconi Mathai
