Thuramukham Review | A Tale of Losses Mounted on a Solid Political Foundation

Rajeev Ravi’s movies have always tried to mark the social structure in almost their stories. Annayum Rasoolum may well be a Romeo and Juliet. But the political reality of the lower class community was depicted quite remarkably in that film. Kammattipaadam was an extremely political film that showed the evolution of Kochi. Just like how… Continue reading Thuramukham Review | A Tale of Losses Mounted on a Solid Political Foundation

Vazhakk Review | A Metaphor-Rich Drama Narrated as a Thriller

They are describing his act as magical or superhuman on many levels and the problem is that we as an audience… Continue reading Mamangam

Abrahaminte Santhathikal

The kind of fun a movie like Abrahaminte Santhathikal provides is pretty much similar to what we felt while watching scriptwriter Haneef Adeni’s last work, The Great Father. For me, TGF was an over-stylized thriller that became watchable because of certain thriller elements which sort of made me forget the numerous moments that lacked conviction… Continue reading Abrahaminte Santhathikal
