Rocket Boys 2 Review | A Compelling Blend of Fact and Fiction

The specialty of the two seasons of Rocket Boys, directed by Abhay Pannu, and co-created with Nikhil Advani, is the absorbing way in which it goes through historical events and how terrific visual language aids that narrative in holding the excitement of the viewer. With the events becoming bigger and the task becoming even more… Continue reading Rocket Boys 2 Review | A Compelling Blend of Fact and Fiction

1001 Nunakal Review | Thamar’s Social Critique Is a Clever Mix of Human Emotions

1001 Nunakal, in a nutshell, has that “moral of the story” kind of vibe to its credit. But this film from Thamar K.V. has a very organic way of building a scenario that could have looked very forceful. I am someone who found 12th Man a little bit hard to be convincing as the script… Continue reading 1001 Nunakal Review | Thamar’s Social Critique Is a Clever Mix of Human Emotions

Roy Review | A Hastily Concluded Inert Thriller

Sunil Ibrahim is a filmmaker whose movies always look interesting on a thematic level but never get a fulfilling result when they are made. His new movie Roy is yet another thriller with mysteries.

Appan Review | An Appreciable Family Drama With an Inconsistent Emotional Graph

One thing that makes Appan a novel attempt is the multiple ways of reading it offers to the viewer. Maju’s second film after French Viplavam looks like a dark comedy initially. Then it shifts to a tale about domestic abuse, eventually becoming a traditional revenge drama. Even though the depiction of the intensity of the… Continue reading Appan Review | An Appreciable Family Drama With an Inconsistent Emotional Graph

Eesho

I am pretty sure every promotional material of the new SonyLIV movie Eesho will have one thing in common. There will be taglines similar to “if you have a daughter/ if you are a father, you should watch this film” There are movies that are made to utilize this good-intent sentiment of people. Eesho, directed… Continue reading Eesho

Maharani 2

In the first season of Maharani, the focus was on showing the growth of an ignorant Rani Bharti to the mainstream politics of Bihar. As a major conflict was created at the end of season 1, the second season, Maharani 2, shows us a politically mature Rani who is going head to head with everyone… Continue reading Maharani 2
