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

Saturday Night Review | This One Looks Like a Scrapped Draft of Zindagi NA Milegi Dobara
The core idea of the movie Saturday Night is built around an individual whose everything is connected to his friends. A person who considers his friend’s pain as his pain. And if you look at it, it becomes a relatable emotion as we all might have encountered one such individual. But sadly, this colorful entertainer… Continue reading Saturday Night Review | This One Looks Like a Scrapped Draft of Zindagi NA Milegi Dobara
Padavettu Review | A Well-Crafted Film Whose Politics Got Cramped
The way the story of Padavettu escalates from a man’s personal evolution to a tale about land politics is extremely abrupt. Liju Krishna’s first film is a well-crafted film that seems to lose its rhythm somewhere during its transition from the second act to the third act. With some interestingly written characters and memorable performances,… Continue reading Padavettu Review | A Well-Crafted Film Whose Politics Got Cramped
Mahaveeryar Review | An Imperfect Yet Impressive Fantasy
Abrid Shine has always chosen themes that were unique for his movies. His new movie, Mahaveeryar, starring Nivin Pauly and Asif Ali, is a wacky fantasy that gets a satirical treatment with political layers. While it does hold your interest with its fantasy element and political statements, there is a sense of vagueness in some… Continue reading Mahaveeryar Review | An Imperfect Yet Impressive Fantasy
Kanakam Kaamini Kalaham
Kanakam Kaamini Kalaham, directed by Ratheesh Balakrishnan Poduval, is that much-needed banter comedy we were missing in Malayalam. In the post corona OTT releases, almost every film released was thrillers set in confined places, and Ratheesh’s movie offers a genuinely hilarious experience through a concept that develops very fluently. With some stellar performances from Grace… Continue reading Kanakam Kaamini Kalaham
Moothon
Moothon may have a title that is focused on a single person, but the film is actually about those who are sort of living a dual life under different circumstances. If you try to analyze it meticulously, you might feel that some of the events in the second half could have got trimmed a bit.… Continue reading Moothon
Love Action Drama
Love Action Drama is an ultimate Nivin Pauly show. But the problem is that it is only a Nivin Pauly show. I am someone who has enjoyed watching movies like Thattathin Marayathu, Oru Vadakkan Selfie, etc. Those films may not be monumental cinematic achievements, but they were thoroughly engaging and all of them had a… Continue reading Love Action Drama
Mikhael
With Mikhael, writer director Haneef Adeni sort of tells us that his ingredients to make a thriller won’t change. Just like The Great Father and Abrahaminte Santhathikal, you will have the claps worthy over the top moments for sure. But the writing becomes very predictable or overly stylized at many areas. For Mikhael there is… Continue reading Mikhael
