What made the movie Thondimuthalum Driksakshiyum special, a film in which Syam Pushkaran served as a creative director, was how the thief character left a sort of pain in our hearts as we discovered him only towards the end of the film. This idea of empathizing with someone who is a bit of a crook… Continue reading Thankam Review | A Compelling Crime Drama That Fumbles in the Final Act

Naalam Mura Review | A Lame Thriller That Tests Your Patience With Its Lazy Writing
During the promotion of the film Naalam Mura, the makers claimed that it is called Naalam Mura because the movie explores the psychological side of an investigation. But by the time the movie reaches its climax and shows the audience what really happened, you would wonder why such a simple case was so much of… Continue reading Naalam Mura Review | A Lame Thriller That Tests Your Patience With Its Lazy Writing
Oru Thekkan Thallu Case
Oru Thekkan Thallu Case, the new film starring Biju Menon and Roshan Mathew in pivotal roles, is yet another tale that revolves around the male ego. The movie, directed by Sreejith N, is struggling from the lack of a solid-enough presentation of its conflict. It was actually towards the last half an hour of this… Continue reading Oru Thekkan Thallu Case
Lalitham Sundaram
Lalitham Sundaram feels like this safe bet feel-good script with a predictable ending for a larger part of its runtime. A dysfunctional family is a theme that we have seen in many films, and Madhu Warrier’s first directorial also focuses on the same. But the characters written by Pramod Mohan are kind of shallow, and… Continue reading Lalitham Sundaram
Aarkkariyam
Sanu John Varghese, who has helmed the cinematography of several finely crafted mainstream movies, has made his debut film as a director based on extremely humane elements. Aarkkariyam, starring Biju Menon, Sharafudheen, and Parvathy Thiruvothu, takes its own sweet time to establish its agenda. In fact, it is pretty much in the climax we fully… Continue reading Aarkkariyam
41

But the problem is with the screenplay that wants to mock a lot of things along the way. There is nothing wrong with mocking the double standards of political parties. Someone like… Continue reading 41
Adhyarathri
Adhyarathri is a very simplistic entertainer format comedy that deals with the importance of woman’s consent in an important event like marriage. While the film isn’t achieving anything in particular in terms of craft or scripting, this 129 minutes long movie is never really an annoyance. Biju Menon is in that Vellimoonga zone of comedy… Continue reading Adhyarathri
Anarkali
Towards the climax, there is this impeccable performance of Biju Menon in the movie Anarkali that will surely make you laugh out loud because of the comedy timing the actor shows. Even after having the aid of some superb technical backup, Anarkali from Sachy can’t really establish itself as an eternal tale. With equal weightage… Continue reading Anarkali
