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

Adithattu
Adithattu might not be this mind-blowingly unique experience. But it is a thriller that manages to do a lot of things that will impress you immensely as a cinephile. Jijo Anthony, who was going after formulaic commercial entertainers after an impressive debut with Konthayum Poonoolum, grabs the control back to his hands entirely and delivers… Continue reading Adithattu
Kuttavum Shikshayum
In Kuttavum Shikshayum, the aim of Rajeev Ravi is not to present a thriller in front of the viewer. His movies have always been political and character-driven. In Kuttavum Shikshayum also, he focuses on the characters rather than the thriller element in the tale. If you are expecting a nail-biting climax, this isn’t that movie.… Continue reading Kuttavum Shikshayum
Pidikittapulli
Pidikittapulli, the new Sunny Wayne movie directed by Jishnu Sreekandan, comes when all of us complain about the lack of a good humor-oriented movie that can lighten and brighten the mood. But seeing this horrendously lousy film made from a script that doesn’t seem to have gone for a second draft, you might reconsider withdrawing… Continue reading Pidikittapulli

Sara’s is a movie that deals with the idea of personal choice and parenting in the backdrop of the current society. Anyone in that age group of 25 to… Continue reading Sara’s
Chathur Mukham
In almost all its promotional events and interviews, the people associated with the movie Chathur Mukham have constantly talked about how fresh the concept is. The movie comes with the tag of being a techno horror film, and the makers have claimed that it is not your typical ghost story. I expected the movie to… Continue reading Chathur Mukham
Anugraheethan Antony
At its core, Anugraheethan Antony has an interesting fantasy element, and if you are someone who has enjoyed romantic comedies like Thattathin Marayathu, there is that kind of fun too in this Prince Joy movie. But where it fumbles is in handling the melodrama. The fantasy ingredient in the script is such that it demands… Continue reading Anugraheethan Antony
Gold Coins
Gold Coins directed by Pramod G Gopal tries desperately to be an earnest movie that tries to spread a positive message to the children. You can’t really blame the intent of the movie. But the problem is within the process of conceiving this idea in an effective way. I saw the movie with a minimal… Continue reading Gold Coins
