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. His new film, yet another Made in Kanhangad venture, 1744 White Alto, also explores a similar space, but this time in a quirky… Continue reading 1744 White Alto Review | A Quirky Crime Comedy That’s Definitely Worth a Watch

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.

But when the movie enters its second half, the… Continue reading Pathrosinte Padappukal

His new film Halal Love Story, again co-written along with Parari has the texture of a satire.

The problem is mainly because of the inability of the makers to convince us about the situation and make us buy that unreal scenario. The good thing about Anjaam Pathiraa directed by Midhun Manuel Thomas was that I… Continue reading Anjaam Pathiraa
