Janamaithri, the new movie from Friday Film House falls under the absurd comedy genre. A genre the production house has attempted before through the Midhun Manuel Thomas franchise Aadu. I dragged that film into this review to give you an idea about the kind of comedy in this film. I am someone who has seen… Continue reading Janamaithri

Kadaram Kondan
SPOILER ALERT! The entire climax of the movie Kadaram Kondan has Vikram’s character KK walking into a police station wearing a mere half jacket of police as a disguise (The second best disguise after Clark Kent’s glasses). He is a wanted criminal in the police records and while he almost makes a chaotic scene inside… Continue reading Kadaram Kondan
Article 15
When the movie Article 15 got announced and even when the trailer of the movie dropped, one thing that sort of bothered me was that whether it will end up being a semi-documentary that one will have to appreciate only for the intent. But the most appreciable thing about this movie is that you can… Continue reading Article 15
Super 30

While the black comedy aided satiric aspect of this movie is… Continue reading Sathyam Paranja Viswasikkuvo
Shubharathri
There will be a category of the audience who won’t be interested in things like nuanced writing or the craft in the making etc. if there is a message attached to the film. Director Vyasan KP’s new film Shubharathri is designed for such people. The movie is an overflow of goodness and for anyone who… Continue reading Shubharathri
Pathinettam Padi
Pathinettam Padi, the debut directorial venture of Shankar Ramakrishnan is an extremely distracted film. The movie wants to address a lot of things within its elaborate runtime of around 160 minutes. But the predictability in the story and the stiffness in the making makes it a film that won’t inspire on any level. Sudeep Elamon’s… Continue reading Pathinettam Padi
