Basheerinte Premalekhanam

Basheerinte Premalekhanam from Aneesh Anwar had the potential to be a romantic satire as the premise of the film had the elements of such stories. But due to the signature melodrama we see in all the Aneesh Anwar films and with a story that doesn’t seem to be interested in investing in a particular bit… Continue reading Basheerinte Premalekhanam

Hadiyya

Watching certain movies would end up in making you search for synonyms for words like cliché, outdated etc. Hadiyya, directed by Unni Pranavam is one such torturing melodrama that has an extremely lame writing and a making that can be called outdated even this movie was made 10 years back. With a screenplay that tries… Continue reading Hadiyya

Sunday Holiday

Sunday Holiday is Jis Joy’s second film after Bicycle Thieves and if you have seen that film, you might have noticed his love for sentiments and twists in narrative. The suspense quotient this time may not be on the same dose, but the tempo is much similar. Intended to be a feel good entertainer, it… Continue reading Sunday Holiday

With jokes and plot points forcing you to kill yourself, Prethamundu Sookshikkuka is the worst movie I have seen this… Continue reading Prethamundu Sookshikkuka

Thondimuthalum Driksakshiyum

Thondimuthalum Drisakshiyum was probably the most anticipated film of the year as everyone had great expectations from the team that delivered Maheshinte Prathikaram. And the result is indeed a positive one if you were able to enjoy Maheshinte Prathikaram because of its realness and subtle nature. While that film had a conventional story structure, Thondimuthalum… Continue reading Thondimuthalum Driksakshiyum

Role Models

Fahadh Faasil choosing a Raffi film and director Raffi claiming that Role Models isn’t just a fun film gave me a little hope in the movie after having seen the disappointing Theppu Song. The trailer had this element of ZNMD type road movie and self discovery sort of thing and when I finally saw the… Continue reading Role Models
