Pulimada Review | A Predictable Thriller With a Commendable Performance From Joju George
Pulimada, the new Joju George starrer written, directed, and edited by AK Sajan, starts off very interestingly as the rage of the central character keeps it in a space that will sort of create curiosity in our heads.
