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. In the promo material of the movie, he clearly stated that it is a different film for him and his writer Udaykrishna, which means you need to check the standard of their films before judging Monster.… Continue reading Monster Review | A Monstrous Debacle That Only Udaykrishna Will Find Different
12th Man
When the whole plot is very familiar, and you kind of know who could well be the killer, the filmmaking becomes tricky as the task is to engage the viewer till the end. 12th Man, the new Jeethu Joseph film, manages to be a watchable thriller only because of how it manages to catch the… Continue reading 12th Man

With color-rich… Continue reading Bro Daddy

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
Big Brother
When you see big names in the industry collaborating for a movie that has zero appreciable qualities, a sense of anger kicks in and Big Brother from director Siddique starring Mohanlal is one movie like that. Following the mold of the humble hero with a lesser-known past, Big Brother is mocking the audience throughout its… Continue reading Big Brother
