Kadha Innuvare Review | A Shallow, Lifeless Xerox of C/O Kancharapalem

Vaazhai Review | A Well-Crafted Tale That Depicts the Depth of a Tragedy From a Different Point of View

When the trailer and teaser of Guruvayoor Amabalanadayil dropped, the only major concern in most people’s minds was whether the eccentricity one sees in the performance of Prithviraj would be in sync with the energy of the rest of the cast.

Mathagam Part 1 Review | A Discretely Promising Thriller That Shouldn’t Have Got Split
Let me begin by saying I have an issue with the Part 1-Part 2 releasing strategy of some of the Hotstar specials.

18+ Review | An Enjoyable Eloping Comedy With a Pinch of Caste Politics
The first film from Arun D Jose, Jo & Jo was one film that had a very thin plotline, and it was the humor that contributed enormously to making that movie become a pleasing entertainer.
