As a cinema, Maheshinte Prathikaaram lies in the zone of movies like Idukki Gold and Da Thadiya because of the simplicity. But when you look at the number of things that get covered in a two hour long movie and the amount humor you could sense in them, this one from Dileesh Pothan becomes refreshingly… Continue reading Maheshinte Prathikaaram

A ride with a police officer, that’s the tag line of the film Action Hero Biju and it is exactly that. If you are looking for a revenge action “story” movie, this one from Abrid Shine might not work for you, but if you are open to explore a different aspect of policing which we… Continue reading Action Hero Biju

Well the intention of the movie Jalam may be very sincere, but to be honest this film from the team that created Kanal is pretty dull and can’t really establish any influence in the minds of the audience. It is conceived as an idea to use Cinema as a tool to create a social change… Continue reading Jalam

Monsoon Mangoes from Abi Varghese created bit of a confusion in my mind on giving a verdict. Well the film has spoof, it has sarcasm and at the end of it all there is this live your life/ take risk sort of motivational idea. To be honest, I feel this mixture of entirely different treatments… Continue reading Monsoon Mangoes

It has Marthandan in the director’s chair after a disastrous Acha Din, but it also has the screen writer of 1983 and Best actor, Bipin Chandran sharing the writer credits. I also had a slight fear that… Continue reading Paavada

I have no clue why director Siddique compared this film with Bharathan’s Malootty. Maalgudy Days is a movie that has a very petty script that fails to engage you. The based on a true story part has little to do with the movie’s content (As they clearly stated it at the end). With child actors… Continue reading Maalgudy Days

Ever wished to see a Malayalam film that looks like a typical Telugu masala heroism movie? (I never wished for that). Then Style directed by Binu S is that attempt. The ad caption of the film was that it is the first cliché film of 2016, well I would say it is the first Malayalam… Continue reading Style

It has humor in dialogues for sure and that will keep you engaged and you will definitely laugh. When you look at the whole plot, Adi Kapyare Kootamani doesn’t have much of an exciting premise or a compelling story structure to its credit. But with actors like Aju Varghese and Neeraj Madhav performing really well… Continue reading Adi Kapyare Kootamani
