Fireman is a film that demands high level of technical perfection. If you are watching it from the neutral perspective, you will easily find the level of compromise that the movie has undergone. Even though Deepu Karunakaran underestimates our intelligence, there are certain catchy moments and there is a gripping speed in Fireman that makes… Continue reading Fireman

The main flaw in the movie Saaradhi is its direction. A movie that should have been kept in a very realistic zone has been unnecessarily dragged into clichés and commercial flavors by the director. May be because of the underwhelming start the movie has, you will feel it as an overall good cinema by the… Continue reading Saaradhi

Directed by debutante Midhun Manuel Thomas, the movie Aadu Oru Bheegara Jeevi Aanu is a directorial failure. Midhun has managed to keep the dialogues in the cool and witty zone, but by overdoing the simple comedy with irrelevant exaggerations, the movie becomes a boring experience.

With his directional standards Rajesh Pillai has done a really good effort to give life to the character Mili written by Mahesh Narayanan. However, how much it will influence you and inspire you is something that is questionable. For me that… Continue reading Mili

At one point in the movie writer director Sreekumaran Thampi makes fun of the modern day serials. But when we watch his new movie Ammakkoru Tharattu, we will find the movie as a close competitor to these daily soaps. With an extremely dramatic script that tries desperately to narrate the same old preachy story with… Continue reading Ammakkoru Tharattu

I won’t say that I have lost hope in the writing of Mr. Sreenivasan after watching Nagara Varidhi Naduvil Njan, as there were a lot of points in the movie where you can see the dialogue writer in him pouring quality sarcasm. The problem is with the story that lacks a different approach towards the… Continue reading Nagara Varidhi Naduvil Njan
