The first half of Oru Kuttanadan Blog made an impression that Sethu, the scriptwriter who is making his directorial debut, has an intention to reinvent cliché.

The Predator
The new movie in the Predator franchise, The Predator directed by Shane Black is more like an action drama rather than a spine-chilling alien thriller. Predator starring Arnold Schwarzenegger was such a huge popcorn entertainer as it had everything along with this venomous antagonist in the form of a predator. When it comes to the… Continue reading The Predator

For a good chunk of its runtime, Seema Raja directed by Ponram feels like a repeated formula with hell a lot of randomness in its screenplay.

It is the story of a father searching for… Continue reading Searching
Stree
Stree directed by Amar Kaushik is a movie written by Raj and DK who are the makers of Go Goa Gone. If you have liked that zombie comedy, this one starring Rajkummar Rao is a double dose of that and I had the loudest of laughter inside a movie hall after a long time. Stree… Continue reading Stree
