Towards the end of the movie Theerppu, there is a scene where Vijay Babu’s Ramkumar Nair tells Indrajith’s Kalyan Menon to stop the rhetoric and come to the point. It was pretty much what I felt when Prithviraj’s Abdulla Marakkar was sitting on that couch and saying lines before he could deliver justice. Theerppu is… Continue reading Theerppu

Kaduva
In the initial phases of the new Prithviraj starrer Kaduva, which marks the comeback of ace director Shaji Kailas, you might get a feeling that this is that “what if Shaji Kailas directed Ayyappanum Koshiyum” kind of film. That’s because the fragile male ego is a crucial factor in defining the film’s central conflict. But… Continue reading Kaduva
Jana Gana Mana
On a concept level, Jana Gana Mana has a very pertinent premise. It talks about a specific trend that most people ignore in a democracy like ours. Writer Sharis Mohammed wants the viewer to look at the hidden political narrative in almost all the atrocities that are happening in the current political picture.

Bro Daddy
If you were in that confused space before the release of Bro Daddy seeing the contradiction between the claims made by Prithviraj about the humor in the movie and the absence of genuine comedy in the promo content of the film, I would say you won’t feel disappointed after finishing this comedy entertainer. With color-rich… Continue reading Bro Daddy

Bhramam
If someone says that anyone can make a terrific film with a solid script, I will disagree with them and will show Bhramam as an example. This official remake of the Sriram Raghavan black comedy Andhadhun is very much the same in terms of the written content. But what made it underwhelming for me was… Continue reading Bhramam
Kuruthi
The focus of Kuruthi is on hatred among people like “them and us” and how it has always been a baton passed from one generation to another generation. Kuruthi, written by Anish Pallyal and directed by Manu Warrier, isn’t taking a side here. It is almost like this balancing act where we see two communities… Continue reading Kuruthi
Cold Case
Tanu Balak’s Cold Case starring Prithviraj Sukumaran and Aditi Balan in prominent roles, is a movie that never becomes interesting. Written by Sreenath V Nath, the trajectory of Cold Case is an amalgamation of the different thrillers we have seen, and thus when they finally reveal the real culprit, it only becomes one of the… Continue reading Cold Case
