Rajeev Ravi’s movies have always tried to mark the social structure in almost their stories. Annayum Rasoolum may well be a Romeo and Juliet. But the political reality of the lower class community was depicted quite remarkably in that film. Kammattipaadam was an extremely political film that showed the evolution of Kochi. Just like how… Continue reading Thuramukham Review | A Tale of Losses Mounted on a Solid Political Foundation

Oru Thekkan Thallu Case
Oru Thekkan Thallu Case, the new film starring Biju Menon and Roshan Mathew in pivotal roles, is yet another tale that revolves around the male ego. The movie, directed by Sreejith N, is struggling from the lack of a solid-enough presentation of its conflict.
