I would say that Oru Vadakkan Selfie is a smart package. It is a movie that uses humor and the desperations of a generation in a hilarious manner to give an enjoyable entertainer. Even after getting fizzled away by a slightly overdramatic climax and a terrible leading lady, the movie manages to stay in our… Continue reading Oru Vadakkan Selfie

Lack of a solid story with an interesting conflict zone is evident in the latest Sathyan Anthikkadu movie Ennum Eppozhum. But with a lot of light hearted fun and an effortlessly beautiful performance of Mohanlal makes this movie an enjoyable two and half hour narration without any significant shift in the tale.

But looking at the whole content, this movie is an unsurprising thriller that terribly lacks the quintessential thrill. With a confused mix of revolution and… Continue reading Nellikka

As a cinema Alif isn’t a completely overwhelming movie which can please you entirely. But there is an appreciable amount of boldness in the content of this movie that tries to question the less questioned practices in Muslim religion.
