Batti Gul Meter Chalu is the second film of director Shree Narayan Singh who once again unites with writer duo Sidhartha – Garima after Toilet Ek Prem Katha. Coming to the movie, this one is also built using the same mold of Toilet of being a deliberate message movie. Cinematically or creatively there is hardly… Continue reading Batti Gul Meter Chalu
Saamy 2
The creativity part in Saamy 2 (also known as Saamy Square) is so damn pathetic that you might end up appreciating its mediocre climax that is slightly better than the rest of the movie. Boleros are flying, logic was dying and you will wonder what the hell is happening and then the reality that this… Continue reading Saamy 2
Mangalyam Thanthunanena
There is a climax conversation between Roy and Clara in Mangalyam Thanthunanena which even though predictable had a fine grace to its credit. My problem with the movie was that it reaches this climax after going through a lot of unappealing incidents and subplots making the climax look too alienated from the narrative we see… Continue reading Mangalyam Thanthunanena
Varathan

Padayottam
Padayottam directed by Rafeek Ibrahim is a gangster comedy, a genre that our industry is not that familiar with. Yes, it has an excessive emphasis on the black comedy which might make the logic seekers a bit uncomfortable. But even though there are flaws, Padayottam is a hilarious one-time-watch if you have an idea about… Continue reading Padayottam
Oru Kuttanadan Blog
The first half of Oru Kuttanadan Blog made an impression that Sethu, the scriptwriter who is making his directorial debut, has an intention to reinvent cliché. But from the moment the interval is revealed you can identify where the movie is heading to and after that it’s just a series of predictable underwhelming moments that… Continue reading Oru Kuttanadan Blog
The Predator
The new movie in the Predator franchise, The Predator directed by Shane Black is more like an action drama rather than a spine-chilling alien thriller. Predator starring Arnold Schwarzenegger was such a huge popcorn entertainer as it had everything along with this venomous antagonist in the form of a predator. When it comes to the… Continue reading The Predator
