Within its constrained plot, G Prajith’s Sathyam Paranja Viswasikkuvo tries to be two things; a social satire and an emotional journey of its central character. If you look at it that way, it is somewhat similar to writer Sajeev Pazhoor’s first film Thondimuthalum Driksakshiyum. While the black comedy aided satiric aspect of this movie is… Continue reading Sathyam Paranja Viswasikkuvo

Shubharathri
There will be a category of the audience who won’t be interested in things like nuanced writing or the craft in the making etc. if there is a message attached to the film. Director Vyasan KP’s new film Shubharathri is designed for such people. The movie is an overflow of goodness and for anyone who… Continue reading Shubharathri
Pathinettam Padi

And The Oscar Goes To
If you are someone who had the least of expectations seeing the lackluster promos of the new Salim Ahmed movie And the Oscar Goes To, I must tell you that the movie isn’t that terrible. In fact, I felt it as that slightly above average film which had the potential to be an inspiring tale… Continue reading And The Oscar Goes To
Unda
When the promos of the new Khalid Rahman movie Unda came, there was an evident similarity with the Hindi movie Newton. But Unda is not exactly an adaptation of Newton. Even though both movies are exploring the reality of the northern states like Chhattisgarh, Unda has a greater range as it has this comparison between… Continue reading Unda
