Pulimada, the new Joju George starrer written, directed, and edited by AK Sajan, starts off very interestingly as the rage of the central character keeps it in a space that will sort of create curiosity in our heads. But when the character played by Aishwarya Rajesh enters the scene, things start to look predictable. Even… Continue reading Pulimada Review | A Predictable Thriller With a Commendable Performance From Joju George
Masterpeace Review | A Loud Woke Comedy That Works in Parts Because of the Relatability
The new Hotstar original Masterpeace, a comedy starring Nithya Menen and Sharaf U Dheen as the central characters, is an eccentric comedy that works to an extent primarily due to the relatability of the content on a thematic level. Set mainly in a single location, Sreejith N’s 5 episode series is deliberately loud, sometimes making… Continue reading Masterpeace Review | A Loud Woke Comedy That Works in Parts Because of the Relatability
Kaala Paani Review | Despite Writing Inconsistencies, This Survival Drama Remains Engrossing
Thematically, Kaala Paani has a very enticing premise that smartly uses the history of the unexplored Andaman and Nicobar Islands to create a compelling story about survival against an epidemic set in the near future.

Ganapath Review | This Green Screen Garbage Is a Multi-Level Endurance Test
Sitting through Ganapath, the new Tiger Shroff movie, is pretty difficult because they have taken the audience for granted in a very arrogant way. I actually found myself in a very baffled situation as the names and claims of the movie had no connection with what I saw on screen. Firstly, this is directed by… Continue reading Ganapath Review | This Green Screen Garbage Is a Multi-Level Endurance Test

Raththam Review | Barring the Interval Twist, Everything Else in This CS Amudhan Thriller Feels Like a Spoof
Raththam is director CS Amudhan’s first “serious” film, and he had made two spoof movies prior to this, titled Thamizh Padam and Thamizh Padam 2, respectively. I must admit that after being boringly generic till the interval point, Amudhan teases the audience with a spectacular interval reveal. But the problem with this thriller is that,… Continue reading Raththam Review | Barring the Interval Twist, Everything Else in This CS Amudhan Thriller Feels Like a Spoof
Rahel Makan Kora Review | In This Mediocrity Competition, the Audience Is the Losers
The title of the movie is Rahel Makn Kora, which means Kora is the title protagonist of the film. But the acting of Anson Paul as the typical Pala Achayan is so loud and terrible that, in the first half, an areligious me was religiously praying for fewer scenes featuring Kora. With no proper conflicts… Continue reading Rahel Makan Kora Review | In This Mediocrity Competition, the Audience Is the Losers
Little Miss Rawther Review | A Stoned Romantic Drama With a Blurry Focus
There is a soulful melancholy to the signature background scores created by Govind Vasantha that usually elevate the emotional graph of a scene or a movie to a very moving and aching space. In the case of the new film Little Miss Rawther, Govind’s music acts like CPR, but unfortunately, Govind’s typical score that tries… Continue reading Little Miss Rawther Review | A Stoned Romantic Drama With a Blurry Focus
