If it was an out and out spoof film, IDI from Sajid Yahiya would have worked wonderfully as an entertainer filled with laughable moments. But the problem with IDI in my opinion was that it tried to become another Singham with quirks in the narrative. When a movie takes its plot seriously, it is difficult… Continue reading IDI

Pretham
When you look at the extent to which mentalism gets used in the movie Pretham, there will be this obvious questions of practicality as the movie utilizes it in very crucial areas. Apart from that factor, the latest Ranjith Sankar movie Pretham is an interesting watch. With humour enriched in almost every scene, Ranjith Sankar… Continue reading Pretham
Marubhoomiyile Aana
Remember those movies of Jayaram? Where he would be in total debt and the whole responsibility of the family would be in his shoulders. Marubhoomiyile Aana is somewhat a reincarnation of that kind of stories. The treatment by the way looks very amateurish and formulaic. With only the second half having some juice to please… Continue reading Marubhoomiyile Aana
Thirunaal
Thirunaal starring Jiiva and Nayanthara is a pointless movie that wanders around aimlessly with random scenes on a very clichéd formula.

The latest episode in the Bourne saga is titled Jason Bourne and much like its previous segments it is engaging, breath taking… Continue reading Jason Bourne
Suicide Squad
With Deadpool, Marvel pitched a real game changer in the superhero genre as R rated content added more fun and freshness to a category that was facing burnout. Suicide Squad from DC in a way is a similar attempt to entertain the audience with that kind of badass fun elements. Even after having four to… Continue reading Suicide Squad
Guppy
While watching the movie Guppy, the film reviewer in me could sense minor errors in conceiving certain scenes and important twists. But that last five minutes or so in Guppy was so emotionally moving and thus the characters in the movie stayed in my head. Debutante Johnpaul George’s Guppy is fresh because of the premise… Continue reading Guppy
Ann Maria Kalippilaanu
Ann Maria Kalippilaanu from Midhun Manuel Thomas is a preachy feel good entertainer soaked in enjoyable humor. Unlike the last movie Aadu from the director, there are no overdone humor tracks in this simple movie and with a runtime of just around two hours; Ann Maria Kalippilaanu from Midhun Manuel Thomas is a passable movie… Continue reading Ann Maria Kalippilaanu
