Much like the short films Ramesh Pisharody has done in the past, the movie Panchavarnathatha is also a film based on the need to be happy and simple in life. The path he has chosen is not a cinematically unique or captivating one. But the story here is simple and steady with the kind of… Continue reading Panchavarnathatha
Mohanlal
There is a special kind of eccentric movies we get to see mostly in Tamil that just wants to be loud at all points. To name a couple, I would say movies like VSOP, Trisha Illana Nayanthara etc. Sajid Yahiya’s first movie Idi was supposed to be a spoof that ended up in a no… Continue reading Mohanlal
Kammara Sambhavam
The script of Kammara Sambhavam tries to be a spoof and satire of two things; the current political picture and the glorification or distortion of history in “based on true story” movies. It’s actually a very interesting idea to create a film. But some of the political statements made by this movie are annoying because… Continue reading Kammara Sambhavam
A Quiet Place
John Krasinski’s new directorial venture A Quiet Place is a spectacularly made thriller set in an apocalyptic world. With extremely minimal dialogues Krasinski and his writers Bryan Woods and Scott Beck narrates a gripping thriller about the survival of a family. It keeps you on the edge of your seats with an intense narrative and… Continue reading A Quiet Place
Orayiram Kinakkalal
Like most of the movies based on this quick money making plans, the new Pramod Mohan movie Orayiram Kinakkalal may not be perfect. But it is an interesting fun film made with conviction. With humor and genuine emotions happening on screen, the movie is light at heart, humorously engaging and practically emotional too. Sreeram is… Continue reading Orayiram Kinakkalal
Parole
The central character Alex in the movie Parole is like the epitome of goodness. His whole prison life is almost a sacrifice for many other people’s sin and the sympathy one would feel for that character is the only positive thing one can appreciate in the movie. With a bloated screenplay investing too much time… Continue reading Parole
Swathanthriyam Ardharathriyil
The script of Swathanthriyam Ardharathriyil depends a lot on the execution and the movie feels like an appreciable effort because of that. You sort of tend to root for the making of debutant Tinu Pappachan as it looks sincere and thus Swathanthriyam Ardharathriyil becomes that engaging prison break film with a script that isn’t entirely… Continue reading Swathanthriyam Ardharathriyil
Baaghi 2
When you have an actor who doesn’t need a stunt double and can perform even better than the stunt men in the whole film along with dancing chops, why waste money on unimportant things like scripting and direction? After watching Baaghi 2, this was the only reason I could find that prompted Sajid Nadiadwala to… Continue reading Baaghi 2
