The movie that came to my mind immediately after watching Mridul Nair’s debut film B. Tech was his Guru VK Prakash’s movie Nirnayakam. I wasn’t a big fan of Nirnayakam as it stretched too much around the issue it was trying to address. Much like that, B. Tech also has a socially relevant issue at… Continue reading B. Tech

The last 20 minutes of the movie Ee Ma Yau is perhaps the perfect example for breathtaking film making. My eyes were glued to the screen, I was able to understand the pain of Eeshi and it all ended in a fabulous visual. Set in the backdrop of a funeral, Ee Ma Yau explores human… Continue reading Ee Ma Yau

Remember Achayans? (I know most people will be trying to forget that) Where Kannan Thamarakkulam and Sethu tried to include a “social message” angle through the character played by Amala Paul to save an utterly clumsy movie. Well his new movie Chanakyathanthram written by Dinesh Pallath is indeed a film that showcases everything one can… Continue reading Chanakyathanthram

Shutter from Joy Mathew was a subtle take on the fake morality of the society and the thriller aspect made it an exciting cinema. On a theme level, his new script Uncle is pretty much in the same zone again targeting the fake morality. But by taking certain u turns from his Shutter stands and… Continue reading Uncle

All these script elements are pretty much the favourite ingredients of an old… Continue reading Aravindante Athidhikal

Thobama is the new movie directed by Alphonse Puthren’s associate Mohsin Kassim. The movie that feels like a simple comedy through whatever minimal promotion we have seen so far has content beyond the mere fun factor. Even though the exhausting length is a demerit, the movie manages to capture the essence of an organic friendship… Continue reading Thobama

It’s high time Mr. Mohanlal do something about the people who wants to sell him by creating extremely tacky creations. The Vishu weekend we witnessed one lackluster attempt and this week it’s the turn of Suvarna Purushan which beats last week’s Manju Warrier starrer Mohanlal by a big margin in being mediocre. Made with absolutely… Continue reading Suvarna Purushan

The movie Aalorukkam is a good one when you look at the issue it tries to address. Beginning as a Father’s quest for his lost son, the film manages to dive into other issues like the problems faced by the LGBT community. It could have been a lecture, but the director has not chosen that… Continue reading Aalorukkam
