What makes the new Rojin Thomas movie #Home a very pleasing and heartwarming family drama is the relatability factor. I am not saying it’s a perfect movie by all means. Because there is a pattern to the screenplay and mild spoiler alert, you can sense a similarity with the M Mohanan movie Kadha Parayumbol in… Continue reading #Home

Shershaah
The promo materials of Shershaah had a less jingoistic tone to its credit, and at a time when patriotism is getting used as a marketing tool, seeing that trailer kind of offered a bit of relief. But when it comes to the film, this Vikram Batra biopic is more of a template rather than a… Continue reading Shershaah
Kuruthi
The focus of Kuruthi is on hatred among people like “them and us” and how it has always been a baton passed from one generation to another generation. Kuruthi, written by Anish Pallyal and directed by Manu Warrier, isn’t taking a side here. It is almost like this balancing act where we see two communities… Continue reading Kuruthi
The Courier
The Courier, directed by Dominic Cooke, is an espionage drama that very engagingly narrates the sacrifices made by two individuals during the cold war period to stop an imminent nuclear war. The story has the scope to present all the shades of the life of a spy, and the screenplay gives equal space to all… Continue reading The Courier
Bannerghatta
If Bannerghatta was released in theaters, I am sure at least one guy in the audience would have screamed at the idiot hero for not speaking up. Bannerghatta wants to feel like a mysterious thriller. But it has no clue about what to become eventually. In the beginning, they have placed certain horror elements to… Continue reading Bannerghatta
Sarpatta Parambarai
It’s interesting how Toofaan, Malik, and Sarpatta Parambarai got released on the same platform over a week’s time. I am saying this because while I was watching Pa Ranjith’s new movie Sarpatta Parambarai on Amazon Prime video, I was reminded of the other two movies. Toofaan for the obvious reason of being another movie based… Continue reading Sarpatta Parambarai
Toofaan
Toofaan, the new sports drama starring Farhan Akhtar as the central character, is a movie that relies heavily on the efforts of the actors to make the journey believable rather than the script to create something refreshing. Thus this movie feels like a constant fight between writers and performers. The underdog sports drama always had… Continue reading Toofaan
The Tomorrow War
The Tomorrow War starring Chris Pratt has this fundamental issue of being a hybrid of several other blockbusters. From time traveling to alien invasion, the script written by Zach Dean is not trying to achieve anything unique. We are not given a lot of details about how and why many things are happening. And at… Continue reading The Tomorrow War
