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
Dishoom
There is a zone of sensibility we assign to movies while we watch them. Dishoom directed by Rohit Dhawan starts off as a very serious film which addresses its conflict very maturely. But after the half way mark the movie sort of becomes a silly comedy film which demands the viewer to leave all the… Continue reading Dishoom
Ghostbusters
There is nothing much out of the box about the new Ghostbusters movie directed by Paul Feig. The third edition of the Ghostbusters franchise works nicely as a funny, spoofy entertainer with enough quirks to keep you entertained for it’s less than two hours runtime. Abby Yates and Erin Gilbert have co written a book… Continue reading Ghostbusters

With character nature becoming tough to digest and the developments having an awkward pace, White becomes boring throughout its narration. White is about this girl Roshini. She is a techie and gets an on-site project in London. After her… Continue reading White
PaVa
There are instances in the movie PaVa (Pappanekurichum Varkkiyekkurichum) where the writer has teased the greedy attitude of religions in a humorous way. The only thing I probably enjoyed in this movie was that. With actors struggling to play the characters with conviction, and content failing to have a clear vision on what exactly to… Continue reading PaVa
Kabali
He is known as the Chuck Norris of India (or should I say Chuck Norris is the Rajinikanth of Hollywood??). But the movie Kabali marks a definite change from that image. Images and conversations that stun you for this striking change is what actually grabbed my attention in this Pa Ranjith movie. Apart from those… Continue reading Kabali
