Her Review | A Simple Concept Stretched Thin and Crammed With In-Your-Face Statements

Her, the latest Malayalam film, directed by Lijin Jose and written by Archana Vasudev, is a contrived anthology that wants to tell multiple stories of women in a very slim space. On a synopsis level, this can be a tempting challenge for makers. Unfortunately, the script is struggling to have a nuanced approach toward each… Continue reading Her Review | A Simple Concept Stretched Thin and Crammed With In-Your-Face Statements

Rebel Review | An Irresponsible Political Drama With a Generic and Superficial Script

I won’t really claim that Kerala is a place where nobody shows discrimination to others. We all have seen a segment of the population, who shows hate towards a category of people based on their caste or language. Films addressing such political and sensitive topics are indeed a necessity, as art has that political layer… Continue reading Rebel Review | An Irresponsible Political Drama With a Generic and Superficial Script

It has witty moments for sure, thanks to Nivin Pauly… Continue reading Ramachandra Boss & Co Review | The Humor Makes This Hastily Made Heist Movie Bearable

Pranaya Vilasam Review | An Enjoyable Drama With Scope for Refinement

Pranaya Vilasam attempts to blend tragic romances with a humorous narrative without necessarily mocking it. And to be frank, that approach makes this movie interesting. With performances of Manoj KU, Arjun Ashokan, and Anaswara Rajan creating a positive impression on the audience, Pranaya Vilasam is an enjoyable drama with scope for refinement. Suraj, an aspiring… Continue reading Pranaya Vilasam Review | An Enjoyable Drama With Scope for Refinement

Randu

Sujith Lal’s Randu is this socio-political satire that feels very flat in terms of how it has constructed drama in the story. Last week’s satire Oru Thathvika Avalokanam was one film that lacked a well-structured story. In Randu, Sujith Lal is actually trying to give some structure to his concept. But the outdated feel of… Continue reading Randu
