Bash Mohammed’s Lukka Chuppi is one movie that is a personal favorite for me. And there was genuine excitement around his new project, Ennalum Ente Aliya, as he has blended humor and emotions flawlessly in the past. Ennalum Ente Aliya starts off in a seemingly interesting way, but somewhere around the midway, we can sense… Continue reading Ennalum Ente Aliya Review | Sidhique Gives His Best to Save a Fragile Comedy That Quickly Ran Out of Ideas

Roy Review | A Hastily Concluded Inert Thriller
Sunil Ibrahim is a filmmaker whose movies always look interesting on a thematic level but never get a fulfilling result when they are made. His new movie Roy is yet another thriller with mysteries. But the dullness in the narrative and the forced staging of sequences make it not at all compelling, and looking at… Continue reading Roy Review | A Hastily Concluded Inert Thriller
Mukundan Unni Associates Review | An Unapologetic Wacky Dark Comedy
If you are a sucker for wacky unapologetic stuff, then Mukundan Unni Associates from debutant Abhinav Sunder Nayak is a dark comedy that will surely work for you.

Autorickshawkarante Bharya Review | A Heavily Cliched Drama With Outdated Cinematic Sensibility
Autorickshawkarante Bharya, which marks the debut of writer M Mukundan as a scriptwriter, is a mediocre movie with outdated sensibilities.

Heaven, the new crime thriller starring Suraj Venjaramood as the hero, is a movie that manages to be engaging due to how it is structured. Unni Govindraj and co-writer PS Subramanian have moved away from the general straightforward investigation pattern. Despite being that background score-driven thriller treatment that doesn’t excite you much, the distributed nature… Continue reading Heaven
Pathaam Valavu
Pathaam Valavu, the latest thriller from M Padmakumar starring Suraj Venjaramood and Indrajith Sukumaran, is a thriller that tries to cover up its unimaginative writing through casting. The idea is to draw a parallel between a police officer and a criminal and create a social justice drama out of it. But unfortunately, the beats of… Continue reading Pathaam Valavu
Jana Gana Mana
On a concept level, Jana Gana Mana has a very pertinent premise. It talks about a specific trend that most people ignore in a democracy like ours. Writer Sharis Mohammed wants the viewer to look at the hidden political narrative in almost all the atrocities that are happening in the current political picture. But the… Continue reading Jana Gana Mana
Kaanekkaane
The fragility of the human mind and those grey areas of the moral dilemma have always produced interesting content with some peculiar characters. Kaanekkaane, the second directorial of Manu Ashokan after Uyare taps into those areas. Manu’s second collaboration with writer duo Bobby and Sanjay is a much more refined drama that focuses on the… Continue reading Kaanekkaane
