Kavi Uddheshichathu

Kavi Uddheshichathu has some unnecessary writing in its first half. In an attempt to build the atmosphere required for the story to move on, this Thomas Liju Thomas movie goes through an aimless phase somewhat compromising to the formulas of a commercial cinema. But that glitch somewhere gets a cover up in the second half… Continue reading Kavi Uddheshichathu

Mirzya
