Rajeev Ravi’s movies have always tried to mark the social structure in almost their stories. Annayum Rasoolum may well be a Romeo and Juliet. But the political reality of the lower class community was depicted quite remarkably in that film. Kammattipaadam was an extremely political film that showed the evolution of Kochi. Just like how… Continue reading Thuramukham Review | A Tale of Losses Mounted on a Solid Political Foundation

Pranaya Vilasam Review | An Enjoyable Drama With Scope for Refinement
Pranaya Vilasam attempts to blend tragic romances with a humorous narrative without necessarily mocking it. And to be frank, that approach makes this movie interesting.

But what was interesting is that the survival part is relatively minimal, and the film works immensely because of the details we get to see… Continue reading Malayankunju

But after a point, the film manages to… Continue reading Madhuram
