Yaan

Two days back when I saw the movie Homely Meals, there was a scene where the film passionate main protagonist praises the cinematography of Ravi K Chandran. After having worked with so many brilliant film makers it’s a really shocking to see the ace cinematographer choosing a story like Yaan for his debut directorial venture.… Continue reading Yaan

Tamaar Padaar

Tamaar Padaar literally exploded my pocket. It has this peculiar humor in the narrative but the film severely lacks one big thing called the story. All these beard promotions and pre release anticipations looked senseless after watching this film from Dileesh Nair. Jumper Thampi and Tube light Mani are two circus artists who perform these… Continue reading Tamaar Padaar

Haider

Vishal Bhardwaj dares to do a politically strong film through his adaptation of Shakespeare’s Hamlet, Haider. Much like the play, the main focus of the movie is in the mental conflict of the title protagonist. But Vishal Bhardwaj very elegantly adds the Kashmir issues into it and thus the plot has a rooted platform with… Continue reading Haider

Homely Meals

Homely meals from director Anoop Kannan is a too ambitious film that talks about having ambitions in life. Inspiring people by showing the hard work is not a subject that is unfamiliar to us.

Money Ratnam

The feel of the Santhosh Nair film Money Ratnam is somewhat similar to that of Kili Poyi and Delhi Belly (except for the heavy drug usage). Following the footsteps of the new trend of focusing on that life changing one day’s events, the karma philosophy etc, Money Ratnam is that simple humble entertainer that has… Continue reading Money Ratnam

Vellimoonga

It has a platform which many flop films had in the past and an unconventional hero heroine equation. Even with these odds Vellimoonga succeeds in becoming a clean entertainer by having creative humor all over the script. Cinematographer Jibu Jacob’s debut directorial venture Vellimoonga is an extremely pleasing look back to conventional Malayalam cinema. The… Continue reading Vellimoonga
