At certain points the movie Nellikka directed by Bijith Bala might make you feel that it could have been a movie that can give a facelift to its leading actor. 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.

Well known script writer James Albert’s first directorial movie titled Mariyam Mukku is an untidy script… Continue reading Mariyam Mukku

If you ask me whether Picket 43 is the best film of Major Ravi, I would rather say it was his best chance till date to create an unforgettable movie. Picket 43 is one movie which has a very unique theme, but an entirely unplanned screenplay. Clocking at 107 minutes of total running time, Picket… Continue reading Picket 43
