If the song Nanmayulla Lokame needed a brand ambassador, a face to project its essence, actor Indrans would be the ideal choice. His innate humility and the kind of roles he has been getting off late (barring Anjaam Paathira) have made him this torch bearer of goodness. I am talking about his on and off-screen… Continue reading Kanakarajyam Review | An Inept Script That Uses Indrans’ Innate Likabilty as a Shield

Anweshippin Kandethum Review | A Dull Thriller That Relies Too Much on Twists to Salvage
The latest Tovino Thomas film, Anweshippin Kandethum, directed by Darwin Kuriakose, is a flat thriller that tries really hard to elevate its graph through twists but hardly succeeds.

But the script… Continue reading Anweshippin Kandethum Review | A Dull Thriller That Relies Too Much on Twists to Salvage

Jaladhara Pumpset Since 1962 Review | Urvashi’s Excellence Cant Save This Wobbly Courtroom Drama

Valatty Review | A Safe Bet Sweet Kids’ Film That Capitalizes on the Adorability
Directed by Devan, the new Friday Film House production Valatty is that safe and simple generic kids’ film that engages you with its humor.

Jackson Bazaar Youth Review | An Over-The-Top Visaranai With Some Commendable Performances
The shortest possible review for the new film Jackson Bazaar Youth directed by Shamal Sulaiman, would be, what if Shankar directed Visaranai.
