The germ of the idea behind the film Janaki Jaane is pretty interesting. It talks about the hardships of a woman with this panicking disorder whenever she is alone or in the dark. But the issue with this film, directed by Aniesh Upaasana, is that it has very old tools to develop that idea into… Continue reading Janaki Jaane Review | Weak Conflict With Outdated Writing Tropes Derails an Interesting Idea

Neymar Review | Pet Sentiments and Climax Heroics Save This Unsurprising Comedy
When you look at the first half of the film Neymar directed by Sudhi Maddison, you tend to have the least expectations about watching a good movie. The first half gives the impression that they have introduced the dog into the film more like an excuse to make a movie out of a common thread.… Continue reading Neymar Review | Pet Sentiments and Climax Heroics Save This Unsurprising Comedy
Anuragam Review | This Romantic Comedy Is a Cringe-Heavy Collage of Cliches
There was an entire row of audience who got free tickets for the movie Anuragam (I knew it because they had to send a selfie to someone as proof they watched the film). In the middle of the second half, one of them said this movie might have worked if it had been released in… Continue reading Anuragam Review | This Romantic Comedy Is a Cringe-Heavy Collage of Cliches
Kadina Kadoramee Andakadaham Review | Basil Joseph Is Superb in This Passable Emotional Drama
Kadina Kadoramee Andakadaham is a film that talks about an emotionally turbulent phase in a young man’s life when he was amid a series of issues. The movie’s second half is where all the drama unfolds.

Kallanum Bhagavathiyum Review | A Lousy Fantasy Stuffed With Irrelevant Jokes and Insignificant Songs
In the second half of the movie Kallanum Bhagavathiyum, directed by East Coast Vijayan, the thief character Maathappan starts asking the goddess interesting questions about her attire and demands. It was in that spoofy zone, similar to something like PK. Seeing those dialogues after a pretty lackluster first half gave me slight hope. I thought… Continue reading Kallanum Bhagavathiyum Review | A Lousy Fantasy Stuffed With Irrelevant Jokes and Insignificant Songs
Oh My Darling Review | A Lackluster Teen Drama With an Amateur Script
Oh My Darling is a teen movie that tries to do too many things with its teenage sensibility and ends up being a bland creation that’s all over the place. Starring Anikha Surendran and Melvin G Babu as the lead pair, Oh My Darling is a movie that uses clichéd emotional scenes as an excuse… Continue reading Oh My Darling Review | A Lackluster Teen Drama With an Amateur Script
Momo in Dubai Review | A Harmless Feel-Good Film That Will Work for Children
Momo in Dubai, the new movie by debutant Ameen Aslam, is strictly for its targeted audience, the kids.

Mohammed, aka Momo, is our title protagonist. He… Continue reading Momo in Dubai Review | A Harmless Feel-Good Film That Will Work for Children
Monster Review | A Monstrous Debacle That Only Udaykrishna Will Find Different
I would say director Vysakh is a clever man in terms of making a film and promoting a film. In the promo material of the movie, he clearly stated that it is a different film for him and his writer Udaykrishna, which means you need to check the standard of their films before judging Monster.… Continue reading Monster Review | A Monstrous Debacle That Only Udaykrishna Will Find Different
