Koode from Anjali Menon is a heartwarming tale about the relationship between a brother and sister. It is based on the story of Marathi filmmaker Sachin Kundalkar’s movie happy journey. I haven’t tried to watch that movie to stay away from any possible spoilers, so this review won’t be a comparison note. Just like any… Continue reading Koode

Ant-Man and the Wasp
Ant-Man sort of falls in the category of a funny superhero (based on the movie and his role in MCU, please don’t overwhelm me with your comic book encyclopedia). Marvel has shaped that character in a way where you won’t expect any big political statement sort of thing from an Ant-Man film. The new one… Continue reading Ant-Man and the Wasp
Neerali
At one point in Neerali, Mohanlal’s Sunny asks Suraj’s Veerappa that whether he has seen movies like Cast Away, Buried or Mine in order to cheer up the hopeless scenario. Well, the writer of the film is definitely inspired by the idea of showcasing a survival thriller in Malayalam. But the worst part is that… Continue reading Neerali
Cuban Colony
Cuban Colony came with the tagline “Gangs of Angamaly”. And guess what? Director Lijo Jose Pellissery and Academy Award winner Resul Pookkutty were among the well-wishers of the film who shared the trailer in social media which made me watch this movie on the first day itself skipping the world cup quarter finals. My expectations… Continue reading Cuban Colony

Escape Plan 2: Hades
Watching the second part of Escape Plan, titled Escape Plan 2: Hades, you might end up feeling angry about the laziness with which this movie is made. I am not saying the first one was a great one in terms of craft as it primarily focused on the commercial viability of the Stallon – Schwarzenegger… Continue reading Escape Plan 2: Hades
Sanju
One question that was there in every pre-release interview of Sanju was that whether it will become a PR work for Sanjay Dutt. I personally wasn’t really aware of the specifics of the life of Sanjay Dutt like the details of the Bombay blasts. I obviously knew that he was arrested for having AK 56… Continue reading Sanju
Ocean’s 8
Well, who would have thought that an all-female cast spinoff would happen to a popular franchise like the Oceans series? Well, the times up and the new installment in the franchise, Ocean’s 8 is that entertaining fun movie with relatively less intrigue and more of fun due to the treatment it gets. While the other… Continue reading Ocean’s 8
