Ithu Thaanda Police (earlier titled as Driver on Duty) is like a film someone wrote after watching all those outdated police stories which created a false filmy police image. The movie doesn’t even have a conflict to work on and with ridiculous amount of clichés in narration and dialogues, this movie from Manoj Palodan will… Continue reading Ithu Thaanda Police

If they had avoided the lengthy melodramas in the first half and those commercial masala elements in the second half, Darvinte Parinamam would have worked wonderfully as a refreshing revenge cinema with commendable amount of variety to its credit. But unfortunately there are these imperfections which sort of drags the movie backwards and making it… Continue reading Darvinte Parinamam

But the success of the script is in the twist that happens in the very last quarter of the movie where the director explains the mismatches and awkwardness the audience… Continue reading Puthiya Niyamam

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
