Lonappante Mamodeesa

Barring a fairly okay Panchavarnathatha, most of the movies featuring Jayaram in the recent past were outright bad movies. On that scale, Lonappante Mamodeesa is a surprising choice of a script from Jayaram. The movie is definitely scattered and overlong when you look at the plot. But the second half of the movie has some… Continue reading Lonappante Mamodeesa

Allu Ramendran

In the recent Kunchako Boban Cinematic Universe of indistinguishable characters and plots, the movie Allu Ramendran will definitely be a different experience. It is not in the list of one more Kunchako Boban movie which you will say with a sigh. Having said, this movie from debutante Bilahari isn’t completely convincing. The cat and mouse… Continue reading Allu Ramendran

Sakalakalashala

According to most people being a critic/reviewer is an easy job as you are very promptly and easily judging someone’s effort that might have took years to shape up. But then there are some movies that will earn you respect when you tell people that you sat through the entire film in a theater. Sakalakalashala… Continue reading Sakalakalashala

Irupathiyonnam Noottandu

Disastrous would be the simplest word I could find to describe the second directorial of Arun Gopy titled Irupathiyonnam Noottandu. When I saw the underwhelming trailer, I thought the movie would have some content and only Pranav Mohanlal could end up being the cringe factor. But luckily for Pranav, the script becomes his companion throughout… Continue reading Irupathiyonnam Noottandu

Praana

On a one liner level Praana is a movie that should be made by film makers to voice their opinion against the ongoing intolerance towards writers and artists. There is no question of whether a movie which addresses that particular aspect of this social evil should be made or not. But the problem with this… Continue reading Praana

Neeyum Njanum

Neeyum Njanum from A K Sajan suffers from having a scattered agenda and tiring length.  A very basic love story sort of gets dragged into a moral policing vs. trust kind of scenario and even though some of the comedy bits might make you giggle a bit, there isn’t much of a feel factor here… Continue reading Neeyum Njanum

Mikhael

With Mikhael, writer director Haneef Adeni sort of tells us that his ingredients to make a thriller won’t change. Just like The Great Father and Abrahaminte Santhathikal, you will have the claps worthy over the top moments for sure. But the writing becomes very predictable or overly stylized at many areas. For Mikhael there is… Continue reading Mikhael

Vijay Superum Pournamiyum

Vijay Superum Pournamiyum from Jis Joy is one movie you would definitely expect from a director who made a film like Sunday Holiday. Towards the end of the film, there is a segment where senior actor Siddique’s character talks about the importance of understanding the person you marry rather than doing it for the family.… Continue reading Vijay Superum Pournamiyum
