Writers like Anoop Menon and Shankar Ramakrishnan have this style of wordplay where they will try to give a fake depth to something very flat on a conceptual level. Rani, the new movie directed by Shankar Ramakrishnan, starts by giving us a feeling that the truth will be grey. And he has created this quirky… Continue reading Rani: The Real Story Review | Shankar Ramakrishnan’s Film Is a Pretentiously Packaged Basic Revenge Story

Jaladhara Pumpset Since 1962 Review | Urvashi’s Excellence Cant Save This Wobbly Courtroom Drama
The delayed justice part of the Indian judiciary was one major theme in Tharun Moorthy’s second directorial, Saudi Vellakka.

Coming to his new movie Mookuthi Amman that got released on Hotstar, this one is also a satire, but feels like a hastily made one.
