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. With predictable conflicts and an emotionally overwhelming climax narrated in a non-boring way, this comedy, written by Zakariya and Ayisha fame Ashif Kakkodi manages to be a passable entertainer. 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
Eesho
I am pretty sure every promotional material of the new SonyLIV movie Eesho will have one thing in common. There will be taglines similar to “if you have a daughter/ if you are a father, you should watch this film” There are movies that are made to utilize this good-intent sentiment of people. Eesho, directed… Continue reading Eesho
Palthu Janwar
Palthu Janwar perhaps belongs to that niche of films that are feel-good in nature yet close to reality. The movie, directed by Sangeeth P Rajan, uses the theme of overcoming setbacks in a very grounded way. Even though a central conflict doesn’t drive the film, hope is ultimately the driving element of the story. With… Continue reading Palthu Janwar
Solomante Theneechakal
Recently in the conversations happening in social media groups and even in troll groups, one particular scripting trope was under scrutiny. It was about this “wait, I can explain” – “no, we don’t want to hear anything” scenario in movies that were released a few years back. What I found most irritating about Lal Jose’s… Continue reading Solomante Theneechakal
Sabaash Chandrabose
In the recent past, we have seen movies with thin plots working immensely as entertainers. The second movie from VC Abhilash after Aalorukkam, Sabaash Chandrabose, is a stretched comedy that works partially because of the setting. Set in the backdrop of the ’80s, this film starring Vishnu Unnikrishnan and Johny Antony is half-baked yet sporadically… Continue reading Sabaash Chandrabose
