Jailer Review | Nelson Bounces Back With a Terrific Fan Service Package

In the initial portions of the second half of Jailer, you feel a bit skeptical about whether Nelson ruined a fab-looking swag fest with uninventive writing. But in the last half an hour of the movie, he bounces back strongly with a clever blend of over the top of heroics and a surprising drama bit.… Continue reading Jailer Review | Nelson Bounces Back With a Terrific Fan Service Package

Alone Review | An Insufferable Thriller Where Verbal Diarrhea Meets Radio Drama

The only logical answer I can think of on why a movie like Alone was made is that Antony Perumbavoor wanted to make the most of the set he made for Monster. Set in the same flat we saw in the Vysakh debacle, Alone is writer Rajesh Jayaraman showing off his vocabulary in the most… Continue reading Alone Review | An Insufferable Thriller Where Verbal Diarrhea Meets Radio Drama

Monster Review | A Monstrous Debacle That Only Udaykrishna Will Find Different

I would say director Vysakh is a clever man in terms of making a film and promoting a film.

When Stephen Nedumpally says Narcotics is a dirty business, the transition… Continue reading Aaraattu

With color-rich… Continue reading Bro Daddy

Marakkar: Arabikadalinte Simham

The visual effects of Marakkar Arabikadalinte Simham are really good, and the background score from Rahul Raj is terrific. But the foundation of any good film is its screenplay. That aspect of Marakkar Arabikadalinte Simham is all over the place. A movie that was depicted as the story of a freedom fighter, who was a… Continue reading Marakkar: Arabikadalinte Simham

Drishyam 2

When you see the initial bits of Drishyam 2, which has this detailing in dialogues that might remind you of radio dramas, the chances of you getting irritated are high. But Jeethu Joseph was casting the same spell he used for the first one, distracting you into believing that this will be ordinary. I remember… Continue reading Drishyam 2
