For the bigger share of its run time, Puthiya Niyamam looks like a very silly revenge story with a lot of loop holes in characterization. But the success of the script is in the twist that happens in the very last quarter of the movie where the director explains the mismatches and awkwardness the audience… Continue reading Puthiya Niyamam

The Finest Hours
Watching Disney’s The Finest Hours inside a theater with chilling AC is almost a 4D experience. The movie happens mostly in the darkness and seeing all these mid sea rescue operations on the big screen will definitely increase your fear about sea especially in the night. As a cinema, it doesn’t have a completely inspiring… Continue reading The Finest Hours
Maheshinte Prathikaaram
As a cinema, Maheshinte Prathikaaram lies in the zone of movies like Idukki Gold and Da Thadiya because of the simplicity. But when you look at the number of things that get covered in a two hour long movie and the amount humor you could sense in them, this one from Dileesh Pothan becomes refreshingly… Continue reading Maheshinte Prathikaaram

Twisting the plot to above mentioned nature, add some… Continue reading Aranmanai 2

It is conceived as an idea to use Cinema as a tool to create a social change… Continue reading Jalam
Saala Khadoos
Saala Khadoos directed by Sudha Kongara has the roughness the title demands in the visual making of the movie. When it comes to the scripting style it has taken inspiration from other films that came under the “rise of the underdog” category sports dramas. And in the dialogues department, the movie is largely melodramatic. With… Continue reading Saala Khadoos
The 5th Wave
I haven’t read the book based on which the movie The 5th Wave was made, but even without having any knowledge about the characters, I was able to guess the story line and that according to me is the biggest low point of The 5th Wave. Directed by J Blakeson, this alien invasion story is… Continue reading The 5th Wave
