Kunjiramayanam

The makers have clearly spoken out their inspirations for the film through some dialogues. Kunjiramayanam from debutante Basil Joseph is an enjoyable fun film that keeps things lively and humorous for its entire run time. The target was to create a simple fun film with many characters and I believe they have succeeded in achieving… Continue reading Kunjiramayanam

Double Barrel

Two helicopters, six cameras for one shot, five hotshot young heroes, enormous cast, wonderful technicians and all this for an insane creation that has nothing to captivate the audience. Technically the movie Double Barrel has pushed the envelope a lot, but the ultimate product is so shoddy that you tend to forget about the efforts… Continue reading Double Barrel

Jamna Pyari

The formula of making Jamna Pyari is to add some clichés like Kochi Rajavu style heroism along with a pinch of T P Balagopalan M A. For just around two hours of runtime, Jamna Pyari is an unappealing Onam entertainer that tries to follow the safe zone formula of some old masala movies. With the… Continue reading Jamna Pyari

Utopiayile Rajavu

Well the movie will make you realize how good was Mammootty’s Pranchiettan and the saint. Made using a reckless script that desperately tries to be funny, Utopiayile Rajavu from director Kamal is an extremely disappointing movie that fails to be a satire. Swathanthran is the son of a freedom fighter and there is this legal… Continue reading Utopiayile Rajavu

Manjhi The Mountain Man

The story of Dashrath Manjhi is something that should be told through a medium like cinema as the determination the man showed and the problems he had to face were enormous. Director Ketan Mehta has tried to do that in his new movie Manjhi, The mountain man. Even though the film narrates almost all famous… Continue reading Manjhi The Mountain Man

All Is Well

I heard producer Ashvini Yardi claiming in one interview that while making the movie Oh My God, she forced director Umesh Shukla to add an item song featuring Sonakshi Sinha. Looking at the merit of the movie, I did feel that she was saying the truth. But after watching the pathetically written and executed All… Continue reading All Is Well

Fantastic Four

The only moment in the new Fantastic Four movie where I found a little bit of entertainment was in that post climax scene where Ben looks at the general when he asks “what if we say no?”. That too just a smirk. Except for that, it’s just a flawed script which looks too dull. Reed… Continue reading Fantastic Four

Loham

The intention is to showcase the inner world of the gold smuggling to the audience, but with a story structure that is too simple and highly predictable (except for the interval punch) Loham fails to be an entertainer. It neither gives anything special about the new plot nor explores the commercial flavours which we expect… Continue reading Loham
