The relationship of parents can have an influence on the life of kids as they are seeing almost every aspect of that bond. Jibu Jacob’s new directorial venture Munthirivallikal Thalirkkumbol is an elaborate lecture on that aspect of life.

Jomonte Suvisheshangal
You kind of know the basic ingredients of a Sathyan Anthikkad movie as his films are known for projecting family values and other social elements repeatedly. Jomonte Suvisheshangal scripted by Iqbal Kuttippuram and directed by Sathyan Anthikkadu is also another version of it. Because of the repetitiveness in the preaching format of the film, there… Continue reading Jomonte Suvisheshangal
XXX: Return of Xander Cage
It wouldn’t have taken much longer for D J Caruso and Scott Frazier to narrate the story of XXX: Return of Xander Cage to Vin Diesel. The plot of the film is that thin.

Set in the 90’s, this film’s first half mocks the society satirically while the slightly over the top conceptualization of second half… Continue reading God Say

The realistic tempo of the narrative gives an impressive level of intrigue to the film. But the lack of space in the screenplay to establish the emotional connect between the main protagonists reduces the… Continue reading Allied
