If you look at how our Government offices function, from a creative point of view, that’s a premise for a web series with multiple seasons because of the ethical conflicts, inner politics, union tussles, etc. Rahul Riji Nair, who is the writer and showrunner of the latest SonyLIV original series Jai Mahendran, is actually trying… Continue reading Jai Mahendran Review | A Stretched-Out Mediocre Office Comedy With Predictable Beats

Thalavan Review | A Watchable Crime Thriller That Misses Out on the Wow Factor
The feel-good space has been the safe zone of director Jis Joy, and when he tried something different in Innale Vare, the response wasn’t that warm. Thalavan, his new film, a police investigation drama, is yet another attempt to crack a zone that Jis hasn’t explored.

Somewhere along the line Driving License becomes a study about that fine line between ego and self-respect. Driving license is a little bit… Continue reading Driving License
Anarkali
Towards the climax, there is this impeccable performance of Biju Menon in the movie Anarkali that will surely make you laugh out loud because of the comedy timing the actor shows. Even after having the aid of some superb technical backup, Anarkali from Sachy can’t really establish itself as an eternal tale. With equal weightage… Continue reading Anarkali
