The Dalit desperation has been a topic of several politically strong films in the recent past and director Saji Palamel’s Aaradi also belongs to that category. It deals with the issue of Dalits having no land for themselves. Even though the technical glitches of a low budget film like this is forgivable, the political bias… Continue reading Aaradi – 6 Feet

Ottayaal Paatha – The Narrow Path
I happened to see this beautifully pitched emotional movie on father-son relationship “Ottayaal Paatha” as part of KIFF (Kozhikode International Film Festival). With almost zero gimmicks of an offbeat film, directors Santosh Babusenan and Satish Babusenan gives life to a heartening story of a lively bond between a father and son. Akhil is this engineering… Continue reading Ottayaal Paatha – The Narrow Path
Ezra
I have to say that the first half of the movie Ezra is crafted very smartly packaging it with typical horror movie ingredients plus a conflict that is genuinely fresh. The impression the movie manages to create through it is a positive one. But the film fumbles considerably in the second half, especially towards the… Continue reading Ezra
Fukri
The story of the film Fukri has nothing really fresh to offer to its audience. But the two and a half hour long movie has enough humor in almost all the scenes and you won’t feel bored. Some of you may feel that the jokes are slightly excessive, but still I would say that it… Continue reading Fukri
Munthirivallikal Thalirkkumbol
The relationship of parents can have an influence on the life of kids as they are seeing almost every aspect of that bond. Jibu Jacob’s new directorial venture Munthirivallikal Thalirkkumbol is an elaborate lecture on that aspect of life. While the main agenda is to establish this message, the movie lingers way too much on… Continue reading Munthirivallikal Thalirkkumbol
Jomonte Suvisheshangal
You kind of know the basic ingredients of a Sathyan Anthikkad movie as his films are known for projecting family values and other social elements repeatedly. Jomonte Suvisheshangal scripted by Iqbal Kuttippuram and directed by Sathyan Anthikkadu is also another version of it. Because of the repetitiveness in the preaching format of the film, there… Continue reading Jomonte Suvisheshangal
God Say
Remember Lage Raho Munnabhai from Rajkumar Hirani? The movie God Say starring Vinay Forrt in the lead role is actually a broader version of the kind of Gandhigiri aspect we saw in Munnabhai. Set in the 90’s, this film’s first half mocks the society satirically while the slightly over the top conceptualization of second half… Continue reading God Say
Kaadu Pookkunna Neram
Dr. Biju’s films always had that politically strong agenda to its credit. His latest film Kaadu Pookkunna Neram featuring Indrajith and Rima Kallingal in the lead roles is also dealing with a strong political statement on the general unquestioning notion of the public on the Maoist movements that has been happening in India. While the… Continue reading Kaadu Pookkunna Neram
