In the thanks credit of Bheeshma Parvam, you can see names like Vyasan, Maria Puzo, and Francis Ford Coppola. Bheeshma Parvam is basically Godfather Meets Mahabharatham. With signature Amal Neerad elements of heroics and character building, Bheeshma Parvam is engaging till the end, and I would say it manages to be that fan film with… Continue reading Bheeshma Parvam

Kallan D’Souza
Kallan D’Souza, the spinoff of the movie Charlie, is just a lazy attempt with no real imagination. The film offers absolutely nothing in terms of treatment or story, and the audience was desperately laughing hard at the mumbling dialogues of Hareesh Kanaran. With every event in the story looking extremely predictable and unexciting, Kallan D’Souza… Continue reading Kallan D’Souza
Churuli
I know a section of the audience who felt Jallikkattu from Lijo Jose Pellissery was just Girish Gangadharan running behind some hyper-active locals. And for the same audience, his new film Churuli will feel like a movie where he decided to cut loose all his actors and allowed them to abuse each other to the… Continue reading Churuli
Irul
Naseef Yusuf Izuddin’s debut film Irul, starring Fahadh Faasil, Soubin Shahir, and Darshana Rajendran as main characters, wants to play that guessing game with the viewer. Like any thriller, we as an audience will constantly be trying to predict the possibility and find the real culprit. But in the case of Irul, it felt more… Continue reading Irul
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. Constructed as a religiously inclined organization’s efforts to make a telefilm, Halal Love Story is… Continue reading Halal Love Story
Android Kunjappan Version 5.25
Android Kunjappan Version 5.25 written and directed by Ratheesh Balakrishnan Poduval is a pure joy to watch. The first half of the movie is an out and out laughter riot and the second half deals with the possible practical repercussion of a scenario presented in the movie. It’s a movie that deals with a very… Continue reading Android Kunjappan Version 5.25
Vikruthi
Vikruthi may not be an immensely moving cinema. But it definitely has a good heart and no intention to spoon-feed its audience. Vikruthi is a movie that deals with the issue of responsible use of social media. It is a simple and sweet preach and the terrific Suraj Venjaramood elevates this simple movie to a… Continue reading Vikruthi
Ambili
Ambili, Johnpaul George’s second film after Guppy is very much in the zone of his debut film. The aim of the director is pretty much the same and just like Guppy, we are left in a zone where we will think about the characters we just saw on screen. Even though things are somewhat predictable,… Continue reading Ambili
