It seems that we are quite reluctant to see reality onscreen. Watching Shyamaprasad’s English among an audience who were just looking for the catered fun was indeed a disappointing experience. A movie rich with real emotions deserved a much better acceptance. The film is a parallel narrative that throws light on the goodness of the… Continue reading English
Up and Down Mukalil Oralundu
“Up and Down Mukalil Oralundu” from director T K Rajeev Kumar is a thriller that has a fresh body but works on the same old engine. In a plot that has ample characters to distract the audience, the story can’t really pull off a climax that is surprising for the audience. Narrated in the congested… Continue reading Up and Down Mukalil Oralundu
