Eeda

A few years back when I saw Ramleela directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, I felt Kannur had the political landscape to be the backdrop of a Romeo Juliet story.

Spreading awareness and making an impact are the primary targets of the new movie Paipin Chuvattile Pranayam. To an extent it succeeds in letting the audience know about the reality of lack of water supply. The problem is the way they have constructed a story to convey this thought. While depicting the life of the… Continue reading Paipin Chuvattile Pranayam
