Garudan, the new Suresh Gopi – Biju Menon starrer directed by debutant Arun Varma and scripted by Midhun Manuel Thomas, has an exciting central conflict. But the problem is with the writing that needs more patience to establish something firmly. The film is built around a rape case where the accused later decides to get… Continue reading Garudan Review | An Exciting Theme With a Half-Baked Generic Script

Kasargold Review | An Inconsistent Thriller With Familiar Twists
Directed by Mridul Nair, Kasargold aspires to be quirky and gory. But the problem is the narrative doesn’t have the flow to keep you excited about the content. Even when they reveal a twist in the tale, it has that familiar feel, or maybe you saw it coming. The backdrop of gold smuggling is indeed… Continue reading Kasargold Review | An Inconsistent Thriller With Familiar Twists
Voice of Sathyanathan Review | A Typical Raffi Flick With Glimpses of Vintage Dileep
I must admit that the teaser and trailer of the movie Voice of Sathyanathan were extremely underwhelming as they had the notions of the movie being outdated. But thanks to those promo materials that kept the expectations low, this Raffi film starring Dileep as the central character Sathyanathan felt much better than it made us… Continue reading Voice of Sathyanathan Review | A Typical Raffi Flick With Glimpses of Vintage Dileep
Monster Review | A Monstrous Debacle That Only Udaykrishna Will Find Different
I would say director Vysakh is a clever man in terms of making a film and promoting a film. In the promo material of the movie, he clearly stated that it is a different film for him and his writer Udaykrishna, which means you need to check the standard of their films before judging Monster.… Continue reading Monster Review | A Monstrous Debacle That Only Udaykrishna Will Find Different

In the initial portions of the film, the narrative isn’t that smooth, and you feel a forceful effort to look cool. But once the triggering moment happens, it manages to grab the attention of the audience, and… Continue reading Peace
Theerppu
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
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
Makal
In Makal, director Sathyan Anthikad and writer Iqbal Kuttippuram want to explore the teens of a girl who is going through a lot of mood swings because of her bodily changes. But this idea gets abandoned after a point, and somewhere, the movie starts to look for reasons to justify typical parenting strategies. Clueless about… Continue reading Makal
