The good thing about the Kannada movie U Turn was that it stayed close to the female lead of the film and added an element of supernatural activities very effectively. Even after being a social preach about obeying traffic rules, the treatment and the ghost factor made U Turn an engaging watch. When it comes… Continue reading Careful

After watching Adventures of Omanakuttan, I had this feeling that the content would have worked very effectively if it was a digital series. There is a mystery behind Omanakuttan and his character which is revealed through many characters that come in to his life. But the problem is that the film takes an exhausting time (almost… Continue reading Adventures of Omanakuttan

The solo writing attempts of screenwriter Sethu were largely dull and the worst in that list was Cousins which was directed by Vysakh. The new Kannan Thamarakkulam film Achayans written by Sethu in a way repeats the same mistakes of Cousins and is almost as torturous as that movie was.

Unlike films like Oru Mexican Aparatha or Sakhavu, the agenda here isn’t to give focus on political party level… Continue reading CIA Comrade In America

The premise of the film Rakshadhikari Baiju Oppu has a playground and people surrounding it. The elaborate length of the film may make you think that it is too much, but it is actually a clever move to make us feel closer to that playground and the characters in it. With realistic and humorous conversations… Continue reading Rakshadhikari Baiju Oppu
