19(1)(a), the new Malayalam film from debutant Indhu VS is a genuine attempt to tell society about the relevance of being political. Even though it is questioning the autocratic right-wing rule, there is an effort to showcase how a political mind differs from others.

12th Man
When the whole plot is very familiar, and you kind of know who could well be the killer, the filmmaking becomes tricky as the task is to engage the viewer till the end. 12th Man, the new Jeethu Joseph film, manages to be a watchable thriller only because of how it manages to catch the… Continue reading 12th Man

With color-rich… Continue reading Bro Daddy

Without really trying to empathize with the unapologetic sociopath, the series creates interesting conflicts by using this character who has lost all the humane traits in her. With an engagingly… Continue reading Human
