Thottappan is an affecting experience as the characters in it and their subtle ways of showing care and love will stay with us. The movie deals with the inner emotional aspects of those seemingly rough people.

But leaving the theater you won’t even really remember any of the jokes.

Kuttimama is a pointless skit comedy that will make you wonder what in that story prompted Gokulam Gopalan to invest money… Continue reading Kuttimama

The agenda of the movie Ishq is somewhere to create awareness about the emotional repercussions of the moral policing practice that has been making news and yet continuing in our state.
