Remember the movie 4 the people? The vigilante thriller from Jayaraj that became a huge hit mostly because of the song “Lajjavathiye”. Well, the intention of the makers of the movie Safe starring Anusree, Aparna Gopinath and Siju Wilson is to create that kind of a thriller. But the problem is that the idea is… Continue reading Safe

Edakkad Battalion 06
The ironic part about the experience of watching Edakkad Battalion 06 was that the movie was only 110 minutes long and yet I found myself looking at the movie as one tiring experience. There are numerous unattended subplots and deviations in this movie and the editor seems to be clueless on how to stitch it… Continue reading Edakkad Battalion 06
Gemini Man
Gemini Man from Ang Lee is a movie that would have been immensely satisfying if the story could explore the headspace of its central characters in a deeply affecting way. But the movie just can’t achieve that. The predictability is the main villain here and Lee is struggling to find the right balance between the… Continue reading Gemini Man
The Sky Is Pink
The Sky is Pink is based on the true story of a young girl named Aisha Chaudhary who died at the age of 18 due to pulmonary fibrosis. She was a bright young girl who had a really different vision about life and happiness. So when you think about someone making a movie about that… Continue reading The Sky Is Pink
Vikruthi
Vikruthi may not be an immensely moving cinema. But it definitely has a good heart and no intention to spoon-feed its audience.

It is a simple and sweet preach and the terrific Suraj Venjaramood elevates this simple movie to a… Continue reading Vikruthi
Asuran

And there are a lot of commercially successful films of similar nature where you clearly can sense the absence of subtlety in narration and presentation. Vetri Maaran’s Asuran is in a way his… Continue reading Asuran
Pranaya Meenukalude Kadal
Pranaya Meenukalude Kadal directed by Kamal has one of the most annoying and problematic heroes I have seen in recent times. His idea of romance is a really dangerous one and thus when the movie tries to pitch him as a determined Romeo, there is no empathy getting generated here. Even the script of this… Continue reading Pranaya Meenukalude Kadal
Adhyarathri
Adhyarathri is a very simplistic entertainer format comedy that deals with the importance of woman’s consent in an important event like marriage. While the film isn’t achieving anything in particular in terms of craft or scripting, this 129 minutes long movie is never really an annoyance. Biju Menon is in that Vellimoonga zone of comedy… Continue reading Adhyarathri
