I remember watching Moana back in 2016, and in my review, I said that despite the movie following a very generic template, unlike movies like Zootopia, it had a lot of fun elements to keep us hooked to the content. While the first movie was designed as an introduction to that whole world, the sequel,… Continue reading Moana 2 Review | A Breezy, Passable Musical That Strives to Be a Fun Ride
Sthanarthi Sreekuttan Review | A Class Politics Story Set In a Classroom, Marked by Forgivable Compromises
In the filmography of Sthanarthi Sreekuttan, you can see names like Kaakka Muttai, Kaala, etc. When you look at the central event and what leads to that conflict, the political intentions are pretty clear, and the good thing is that Vinesh Viswanath’s film never becomes a movie that makes kids speak big political statements for… Continue reading Sthanarthi Sreekuttan Review | A Class Politics Story Set In a Classroom, Marked by Forgivable Compromises

Turkish Tharkkam Review | A Mediocre Religious Critique Filled With Excessive Rhetoric
Watching Turkish Tharkkam, directed by Nawaz Sulaiman, was a very interesting experience. Even though it is not a fantasy film, the aim here is to be a religious critique that mocks the religious fundamentalists who act like the protectors of the one who protects everything.

Sookshamadarshini Review | A Well-Written Thriller That Deceives the Audience With Its Smart Presentation
The latest MC Jithin film, Sookshamdarshini, starring Nazriya Nazim along with Basil Joseph, is a well-written investigative thriller that uses the idea of distraction pretty effectively to narrate a story that had all the possibility of becoming a generic murder mystery with a usual motive. By not ignoring the limitations of a microbiology graduate’s micro… Continue reading Sookshamadarshini Review | A Well-Written Thriller That Deceives the Audience With Its Smart Presentation
