Alappuzha Gymkhana, the new movie from Khalid Rahman starring Naslen and a whole bunch of young talents, is not a plot-heavy film. In fact, the movie’s structure is not even your usual underdog story. But like how Rahman took the challenge of making this chaotic fun ride in Thallumala, he is depending on his ability… Continue reading Alappuzha Gymkhana Review | A Clutter Breaker Sports Drama That Offers a Thorough Fun Ride

Turkish Tharkkam Review | A Mediocre Religious Critique Filled With Excessive Rhetoric
Watching Turkish Tharkkam, directed by Nawaz Sulaiman, was a very interesting experience. Even though it is not a fantasy film, the aim here is to be a religious critique that mocks the religious fundamentalists who act like the protectors of the one who protects everything. In terms of craft, the film is undeniably terrible as… Continue reading Turkish Tharkkam Review | A Mediocre Religious Critique Filled With Excessive Rhetoric

You know that feeling when you think one hour of a terribly made movie is over, but when you check the watch, you realize only half an hour has gone by, and you need to sit through two more hours of this crap?

Anchakkallakokkan Review | A Generic Revenge Story That Tries Too Hard to Salvage Through Violence
The last half an hour of the movie Anchakkallakokkan (thank God I am not doing a video review) is occurring inside one police station, and there is a lot of violence happening. The idea of Ullas Chemban is perhaps to show the transformation of a character through a life-changing event. But the problem is with… Continue reading Anchakkallakokkan Review | A Generic Revenge Story That Tries Too Hard to Salvage Through Violence
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
Jackson Bazaar Youth Review | An Over-The-Top Visaranai With Some Commendable Performances
The shortest possible review for the new film Jackson Bazaar Youth directed by Shamal Sulaiman, would be, what if Shankar directed Visaranai. The graph of this film is a constantly fluctuating one that starts off as a very political film and ends up looking like a customized justice thriller. While the police brutality aspect in… Continue reading Jackson Bazaar Youth Review | An Over-The-Top Visaranai With Some Commendable Performances
Sulaikha Manzil Review | Ashraf Hamza’s Third Directorial Is an Entertainer Enjoyable in Parts
Ashraf Hamza’s latest film Sulaikha Manzil is an attempt to explore the pre-marriage tension among couples. While it captures the moments entertainingly, the graph is flat in terms of making any statements. Some of the areas they talk about these hastily set up arranged marriages hit the point effectively. At the same time, there are… Continue reading Sulaikha Manzil Review | Ashraf Hamza’s Third Directorial Is an Entertainer Enjoyable in Parts
Aalankam Review | This One Is a Lost Opportunity to Create a Solid Thriller
As an idea, Aalankam feels almost like what if something like Drishyam was made with the sensibility of a short film. The flaw with this creation is that it never really manages to be that captivating thriller which would create curiosity in you. With a stretched-out screenplay that consistently drains out the excitement from the… Continue reading Aalankam Review | This One Is a Lost Opportunity to Create a Solid Thriller
