In the current world politics, we can all see the dominance of extremism and how the typically neutral people have been inclined towards such extremist narratives. MA Nishad, with his new movie Iyer in Arabia, has plans to tap into that space and create a satire. But rather than the paper-cutting knowledge of the situation,… Continue reading Iyer In Arabia Review | A Wasted Opportunity to Create a Pertinent Political Satire

Rani: The Real Story Review | Shankar Ramakrishnan’s Film Is a Pretentiously Packaged Basic Revenge Story
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.

Mookuthi Amman
RJ Balaji’s first directorial LKG was a fun satire that was a bit loud but never felt unclear about its intentions. 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. The idea never feels fresh in terms of the… Continue reading Mookuthi Amman
Dhamaka
If Omar Lulu had written a review for Badhaai Ho, he might say that the movie had ample scope to include sleazy, kinky humor and the director failed to utilize that and ended up making an emotional film. Dhamaka directed by Omar Lulu is one more celebration of sexual frustration. The most dangerous thing about… Continue reading Dhamaka
