But what really elevates this film is the realness in the character dynamics and construction of the remorseless villains.

Aaro Review | Proof That Actors and Technicians Have EMIs to Pay
The reason why I decided to watch the movie Aaro, directed by Kareem, was that it had some phenomenal names like Joju George, Anumol, Rafeeq Ahmed, Bijibal, Noufal Abdullah, etc. But by the end of the movie, I realized that no matter how phenomenal these people are, they too have EMIs to pay.

Just like how… Continue reading Thuramukham Review | A Tale of Losses Mounted on a Solid Political Foundation
