Ramante Edanthottam is partially preachy for sure. But the theme of the movie touches an issue that seems to be very important in the busy life style of these days. Made as a woman’s self discovery journey by breaking the notions of patriarchy, this movie has discrete situations which have a likeable philosophical tone.

The credit given to Jeethu Joseph in the movie Lakshyam is of a script writer. But the debut venture of Anzar Khan has close similarities with Jeethu Joseph’s way of narrating thrillers. The film is about two prisoners who accidentally escaped from prison. Even though it has an interesting twist in the mid way, Anzar… Continue reading Lakshyam

But the ultimate intention of the film is definitely beyond the mere sensationalism of the inclination of the majority towards the left ideologies. Within a predictable storyline, Sidhartha Siva manages to convey the thought of being a selfless social worker with elements that are necessary… Continue reading Sakhavu

The new movie from Ranjith – Mammootty combination, Puthan Panam was announced on November 2016. As per the trailer, the movie seemed like something that had to do with the demonetization that happened on November 8th. I was curious to know how writer director Ranjith managed to create an interesting story in such a short… Continue reading Puthan Panam

After being highly repetitive with his themes, Major Ravi tried something different in Picket 43 by looking at soldiers of both India and Pakistan as human beings who doesn’t really wish to be part of a war. In a way 1971 Beyond Borders is an extension of that thought. But unfortunately this thought is muddled… Continue reading 1971 Beyond Borders
