Garudan, the new Suresh Gopi – Biju Menon starrer directed by debutant Arun Varma and scripted by Midhun Manuel Thomas, has an exciting central conflict. But the problem is with the writing that needs more patience to establish something firmly. The film is built around a rape case where the accused later decides to get… Continue reading Garudan Review | An Exciting Theme With a Half-Baked Generic Script

Thankam Review | A Compelling Crime Drama That Fumbles in the Final Act
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.

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.

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
41 directed by Laljose is actually an attempt to show how an atheist became a believer when he went through certain life events. 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
