The conversations in the movie Ntikkakkakkoru Premondarnn, especially the ones between those in a tentative relationship, have a very organic flow with less theatrical nature. That makes this wannabe 96 from debutante Adhil Maimoonath Asharaf a nonboring drama. While the relatable nature of the story elements makes it easy for the eyes, the conflicts aren’t… Continue reading Ntikkakkakkoru Premondarnn Review | A Feel-Good Drama With Soft Conflicts and Convenient Solutions

Aanandam Paramanandam Review | A Complacent Comedy That Has Zero Respect for Its Audience
Aanandam Paramanandam marks the comeback of director Shafi and scriptwriter M Sindhuraj after a small break of almost 3 years.

Unsurprisingly and sadly, this new outing of the… Continue reading Aanandam Paramanandam Review | A Complacent Comedy That Has Zero Respect for Its Audience
Gold Review | An Uneven Yet Engaging Comedy With Alphonse Puthren Signature Elements
The filmmaking process of Alphonse Puthren has always been described as peculiar by all his collaborators as he improvises a lot on the sets and delivers something beyond the script.

Adrishyam Review | A Convoluted Mess With an Insufferable Flashback
In the first act of the movie Adrishyam, you get a feeling that we are dealing with two parallel investigations with certain common links.

1744 White Alto Review | A Quirky Crime Comedy That’s Definitely Worth a Watch
The last film from Senna Hegde, Thinkalazhcha Nishchayam, was a satire that can’t be called a plot-heavy film. It was a movie that managed to find hilarious instances from moments and characters.

Rorschach
The exciting thing about Rorschach, the new film from Nissam Basheer starring Mammootty, is that it makes you believe that you have cracked the suspense very early. And it traverses beyond that prediction of ours in a non-jarring way. Written by Sameer Abdul, Rorschach is a brilliant blend of craft-rich making and detailed writing. With… Continue reading Rorschach
Priyan Ottathilanu
Priyan Ottathilanu, the new movie starring Sharaf U Dheen as the central character, is a film that tries to impart positivity in an unattractive way. When Priyan justifies his accommodating nature by taking the example of the Lemon n Spoon race, it felt more like a desperate attempt to hide his inability to say things… Continue reading Priyan Ottathilanu
Kuttavum Shikshayum
In Kuttavum Shikshayum, the aim of Rajeev Ravi is not to present a thriller in front of the viewer. His movies have always been political and character-driven. In Kuttavum Shikshayum also, he focuses on the characters rather than the thriller element in the tale. If you are expecting a nail-biting climax, this isn’t that movie.… Continue reading Kuttavum Shikshayum
