Odiyan should be an MBA subject and VA Shrikumar Menon should give the people in places like IIM a class on how to make buzz around something that doesn’t have anything appreciable to its credit. With a clichéd plot getting stretched out with so much predictable and outdated elements, Odiyan for its runtime is tedious.… Continue reading Odiyan
Creed 2
The Rocky franchise has never been about any surprising twist in the tale or about the technicalities of boxing. It has always been deeply emotional going into the psyche of the fighter in the limelight in each film. And the fight was never limited to the arena as the real-life conflicts of the characters made… Continue reading Creed 2
2.0
I don’t know whether Shankar’s 2.0 is a disappointing film or not. Because I belong to that category that wasn’t impressed by the trailer and yet believed that we may get something better when the movie hits the big screen. Sadly that’s not the case here. The trailer in many ways is an exact representation… Continue reading 2.0

And when I saw the movie, I could sense the… Continue reading Ladoo
Nithya Haritha Nayakan
In the first 40 minutes of the movie Nithya Haritha Nayakan directed by AR Binuraj, there is a humor track involving Vishnu Unnikrishnan and Basil Joseph. Watching that portion will give you a feeling that you are in for a movie that is somewhat similar to a Kattappanayile Ritwikroshan. But sadly after that initial burst,… Continue reading Nithya Haritha Nayakan
Joseph
The script of Joseph is written by Shahi Kabir who is an actual police officer. Narrated as an investigation thriller, this movie from Padmakumar will be definitely a relief for those who loved his initial works as the film has an evident presence of craft when compared to his tacky outings in the recent past.… Continue reading Joseph
