Roshni Dinaker’s Bollywood textured My Story is a shallow fragile idea that tries the melodramatic approach and mostly fails. The idea is to nourish the story with vibrant images and make us get the feeling of romance, but the back and forth drama is so cluttered that you just end up waiting for the end… Continue reading My Story

Up to date and articulated reviews of Malayalam movies based on the quality of entertainment of each one. Visit here and decide which movie is going to make you feel worth spending your time and money.
Abrahaminte Santhathikal
The kind of fun a movie like Abrahaminte Santhathikal provides is pretty much similar to what we felt while watching scriptwriter Haneef Adeni’s last work, The Great Father. For me, TGF was an over-stylized thriller that became watchable because of certain thriller elements which sort of made me forget the numerous moments that lacked conviction… Continue reading Abrahaminte Santhathikal
Njan Marykutty
Njan Marykutty from Ranjith Shankar Jayasurya team is more like an informative movie like Toilet Ek Prem Katha or Padman. The ultimate sentiment you have towards the movie is positive and that isn’t really because of the cinematic craft it shows, but mostly because of the subject it addresses. Just like how a superstar like… Continue reading Njan Marykutty
Abhiyude Kadha Anuvinteyum
For an argument, the makers of the movie Abhiyude Kadha Anuvinteyum (Abhiyum Anuvum) can say that the film sort of addresses the troubles of living in a patriarchal society.

Kuttanpillayude Sivarathri directed by Jean Markose has a bit of problem in merging its two narratives convincingly. Having said that, it’s not like the two plots stays isolated. Both narratives are executed neatly, one with emphasis on… Continue reading Kuttanpillayude Sivarathri
Premasoothram
When Malayalam cinema got shifted from rural to urban stories there was a repetitive feel to most of the stories set in the village backdrop. There were textures and nuances in all those vintage movies which made us love the characters and landscapes. Premasoothram directed by Jiju Ashokan who made an impression with the movie… Continue reading Premasoothram
Naam
Naam is almost like watching Happy Days, but in 2x speed. Director Joshy Thomas Pallickal is trying to capitalize on the nostalgia factor of the campus days here based on a real life incident. The nostalgia and campus memories work to an extent. But post that it’s usual and a little too ambitious. The idea… Continue reading Naam
Kaamuki
Binu S who made his debut with an impressive movie titled Ithihasa, went on to make another film Style which was criticized heavily and some people made a remark that it would have been a financially feasible idea in an industry like Telugu. It seems like those criticism has not bothered the director much and… Continue reading Kaamuki
