Girish AD is one director who has managed to create his own signature style with his first two films. And if you look at those movies on a script level, they are very much unnarratable. Like, if you try to narrate that movie to a friend who hasn’t seen that film, he or she will… Continue reading Premalu Review | Naslen and Mamitha Shine in This Uneven Romantic Comedy

Valatty Review | A Safe Bet Sweet Kids’ Film That Capitalizes on the Adorability
Directed by Devan, the new Friday Film House production Valatty is that safe and simple generic kids’ film that engages you with its humor.
