If you are someone who has seen the trailer of the latest Vineeth Sreenivasan production, Helen directed by Mathukutty Xavier, you might have made some guesses about the story of the movie. And the movie is mostly following that story. But the good thing about Helen is the way it maintains the tension. As the… Continue reading Helen
Doctor Sleep
The Shining by master director Stanley Kubrick had a psychological angle in its narrative. Even though it had that spooky reincarnation theme inside it, we were mostly looking at it as a hallucinated phase of the characters. When the sequel of The Shining, Doctor Sleep began, I faced a major disappointment immediately as the makers… Continue reading Doctor Sleep
Bala
Amar Kaushik is the guy who made last year’s crackling horror-comedy Stree. This year he comes up with another comedy named Bala, starring the man of unusual choices, Ayushmann Khurrana.

Someone like… Continue reading 41
Terminator: Dark Fate
We are all familiar with the standard procedure in a terminator movie. A portal from the future will appear in two areas of the city and naked human lookalike robots will come from there. One of them will be here to save a person and the other will be here to kill the same person.… Continue reading Terminator: Dark Fate
Under World
Under World is a movie that has its discrete moments of gangster swagger. Writer Shibin Francis is trying to place a typical Hollywood style gangster thriller in the backdrop of Kerala. While the predictability and the occasional over the top sequences drag this Arun Kumar Aravind movie backward, the aspiration to be a true blue… Continue reading Under World
