Pookkaalam Review | A Passable Feel-Good Family Drama That Could Use Some Fine-Tuning
Ganesh Raj’s first film Anandam was a college drama that the director himself had said was something entirely in his comfort zone. His second film Pookkaalam, which comes nearly 7 years after Anandam, has a departure from the first film regarding the theme. Still, the making sensibilities pretty much remain the same.

Even though the movie’s climax seems a bit unrealistic, you sort of feel happy about what happens. Nna Thaan Case Kodu, from director Ratheesh Balakrishnan Poduval, may not be similar… Continue reading Nna Thaan Case Kodu
Dear Friend
At its core, the thought behind Dear Friend from Vineeth Kumar is an extremely personal emotion that almost all of us might have gone through.

The movie aspires to create a lumping pain… Continue reading Dear Friend
