Written by Babu Vylathur and directed by Praghesh Sukumaran, Lovefully Yours Veda is a movie that tries to narrate the campus story in… Continue reading Lovefully Yours Veda Review | Sitting Through This Cringe Fest Feels Like an Achievement

Padachone Ingalu Kaatholee Review | A Wannabe Satire With No Aim and Too Many Subplots
At the tail end of the movie Padachone Ingalu Kaatholee, a voice-over talks about how all the recent murders that happened in Kerala, which were based on superstitions and black magic, are dragging us backward. The disjoint nature of that commentary made me wonder whether the movie’s makers added that to give a structure to… Continue reading Padachone Ingalu Kaatholee Review | A Wannabe Satire With No Aim and Too Many Subplots
Chattambi Review | A Class Discrimination Drama That Never Took Off
In Chattambi, the idea is ultimately built around the discrimination faced by the central character Karia. However, the Shakespearian-style gangster drama doesn’t have consistency in maintaining the drama. Chattambi is a movie that tries to show the other side of how someone gets labeled as a goon. Even though it starts off impressively, the impact… Continue reading Chattambi Review | A Class Discrimination Drama That Never Took Off

The rooted setting and the performances elevate this film… Continue reading Sumesh & Ramesh

Because there is a pattern to the screenplay and mild spoiler alert, you can sense a similarity with the M Mohanan movie Kadha Parayumbol in… Continue reading #Home
Kappela
Taking a very slim idea and converting it into an engaging film is a very exciting thing to witness as a viewer. That process sort of shows you the endless opportunities in making a movie. Kappela could have been easily a preachy film. But debutant director Muhammed Musthafa tries to give it that cinematic appeal… Continue reading Kappela
Anjaam Pathiraa
There is a conviction issue I always face when I watch psychological serial killer movies in Malayalam. 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
