What is fascinating about Elaveezhapoonchira is how it restructures a simplistic revenge drama into a compelling character-driven revenge thriller. The clever distractions from the plot and the brilliant use of the landscape make Elaveezhapoonchira from Shahi Kabir one engrossing cinema with a fabulously layered script.

Halal Love Story
Zakariya’s first movie Sudani from Nigeria that he co-wrote with Muhsin Parari had this universal outlook and it was about empathy and humanity. His new film Halal Love Story, again co-written along with Parari has the texture of a satire.
