In one of the scenes in Achan Oru Vazha Vechu (we will get back to the title later), we have an FM channel head talking about a hit program in their rival channel. And she says, look at the selection of their topics. Full of innovation and stuff. And guess what? The only thing we… Continue reading Achan Oru Vazha Vechu Review | YOLO Hits Boomer in This Cinematic Catastrophe

Corona Dhavan Review | A Carelessly Assembled Collection of Corona Comedies
What if you had an untouched liqueur collection the day the prime minister declared lockdown? Director CC Nithin, aka CC’s first movie Corona Dhavan, comes from this germ of an idea. Anyone can sense the possibility of a lot of humor in this particular premise, and the film is only focused on creating a comedy… Continue reading Corona Dhavan Review | A Carelessly Assembled Collection of Corona Comedies
Pappachan Olivilanu Review | An Overdone Wannabe Vellimoonga With a Clueless Script
The initial moments of most movies, especially if the genre is a comedy, will give you an idea about whether the makers have clarity about how to pull it off. Pappachan Olivilanu from Sinto Sunny is that muddled comedy that pretty much exposes its unsure nature from the beginning. The KSRTC bus joke where a… Continue reading Pappachan Olivilanu Review | An Overdone Wannabe Vellimoonga With a Clueless Script
Janaki Jaane Review | Weak Conflict With Outdated Writing Tropes Derails an Interesting Idea
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is that it has very old tools to develop that idea into… Continue reading Janaki Jaane Review | Weak Conflict With Outdated Writing Tropes Derails an Interesting Idea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. Even though the flow of the script isn’t that fluid, the performances enhance the depth of the moments to… Continue reading Kadina Kadoramee Andakadaham Review | Basil Joseph Is Superb in This Passable Emotional Drama
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
