In filmmaking, when you start to edit the movie, there is this process called rough cut where everything they have shot will be arranged in the timeline, and it will be like a really long version of the movie. Some movies will have a duration of nearly 5 hours with all the scenes they have… Continue reading Oru Anveshanathinte Thudakkam Review | A Torturous Wannabe Kannur Squad With M.A Nishad and Half of A.M.M.A

Super Zindagi Review | One More Debacle to the Disastrous Filmography of Dhyan Sreenivasan
During the routine promotional interview, Dhyan Sreenivasan said that filmmakers are not delusional, and they all very well know how good or bad a movie is, based on the final version. Well, what surprises me about a film like Super Zindagi is that the story idea is so pathetic that I don’t think anyone with common sense… Continue reading Super Zindagi Review | One More Debacle to the Disastrous Filmography of Dhyan Sreenivasan
Iyer In Arabia Review | A Wasted Opportunity to Create a Pertinent Political Satire
In the current world politics, we can all see the dominance of extremism and how the typically neutral people have been inclined towards such extremist narratives.

Oh My Darling Review | A Lackluster Teen Drama With an Amateur Script
Oh My Darling is a teen movie that tries to do too many things with its teenage sensibility and ends up being a bland creation that’s all over the place. Starring Anikha Surendran and Melvin G Babu as the lead pair, Oh My Darling is a movie that uses clichéd emotional scenes as an excuse… Continue reading Oh My Darling Review | A Lackluster Teen Drama With an Amateur Script
Tsunami
Tsunami, the new movie directed by Lal and his son Jean-Paul Lal aka Lal Jr., seems like a film they did just because they wanted to be on a film set. Off late, the movies that Lal wrote felt more like a series of skit jokes in stories that are wafer-thin. And Tsunami is no… Continue reading Tsunami
Dhamaka
If Omar Lulu had written a review for Badhaai Ho, he might say that the movie had ample scope to include sleazy, kinky humor and the director failed to utilize that and ended up making an emotional film. Dhamaka directed by Omar Lulu is one more celebration of sexual frustration. The most dangerous thing about… Continue reading Dhamaka
