The last half an hour of the movie Anchakkallakokkan (thank God I am not doing a video review) is occurring inside one police station, and there is a lot of violence happening. The idea of Ullas Chemban is perhaps to show the transformation of a character through a life-changing event. But the problem is with… Continue reading Anchakkallakokkan Review | A Generic Revenge Story That Tries Too Hard to Salvage Through Violence

Antony Review | A Passable Action Entertainer With Familiar Beats
At one point in the movie Antony, the priest played by Chemban Vinod Jose, talks about the peculiarity of the unlikeliest relationship between two individuals and gives the credit to the almighty for making such things happen.

Pulimada Review | A Predictable Thriller With a Commendable Performance From Joju George
Pulimada, the new Joju George starrer written, directed, and edited by AK Sajan, starts off very interestingly as the rage of the central character keeps it in a space that will sort of create curiosity in our heads.

Sulaikha Manzil Review | Ashraf Hamza’s Third Directorial Is an Entertainer Enjoyable in Parts
Ashraf Hamza’s latest film Sulaikha Manzil is an attempt to explore the pre-marriage tension among couples. While it captures the moments entertainingly, the graph is flat in terms of making any statements. Some of the areas they talk about these hastily set up arranged marriages hit the point effectively. At the same time, there are… Continue reading Sulaikha Manzil Review | Ashraf Hamza’s Third Directorial Is an Entertainer Enjoyable in Parts
Boomerang Review | Frivolous Filmmaking Backed by Garbage Writing
Looking at the way Boomerang has been written, it is very evident that Manu Sudhakaran has not tried to understand the change that happened in Malayalam cinema in the last decade. Manu, whose first movie was released back in 2013, is still stuck in the cinematic sensibilities of those days, and his new movie Boomerang… Continue reading Boomerang Review | Frivolous Filmmaking Backed by Garbage Writing
