Chithini is the latest movie from East Coast Vijayan that feels more like a facepalm fest from the word go. Remember that short film the social media trolled for the tough vocabulary? “Punyajanmangalkk labhikkunna poorvajanma saafallyamaanu…” I think East Coast Vijayan considered that movie as a worthy inspiration in dialogue writing, and in Chithini, we… Continue reading Chithini Review | A Carbon Dated Horror Drama That Craves for a Roast Rather Than a Review

Perumani Review | An Impressive Satire That Strikes a Pleasing Balance
Maju KB’s latest film Perumani, is an eccentric satire that mocks a range of things in the format of a comedy set against the backdrop of an imaginary village. The caricature-ish tone of characters is always putting the movie at risk of being an overdone comedy. But by keeping the verbal part minimal and emphasizing more… Continue reading Perumani Review | An Impressive Satire That Strikes a Pleasing Balance
Family Review | A Community Study That Demanded a Sharper Ending
Among the list of films that Don Palathara has already made (and I have watched), I would say, Family stays at the bottom of the list. While others sort of win you over with their politics or craft, here, the intended criticism felt a bit less sharp. Having said that, I don’t mean to say… Continue reading Family Review | A Community Study That Demanded a Sharper Ending
Aattam Review | Anand Ekarshi’s Social Critique Confidently Explores the Grey
Ever since the Me Too movement happened and women started calling out their abusers, there have been these discussions around the ones who spoke out, tarnishing their image and questioning their integrity. While on the periphery, all those questions felt sensible, if you listen to those questions carefully, you can sense that layer of judgment… Continue reading Aattam Review | Anand Ekarshi’s Social Critique Confidently Explores the Grey
Somante Krithavu Review | A Quirky Character Lost in a Wobbly Script
I wouldn’t say I hated the film Somante Krithavu. It is not one of those hastily made movies with creative laziness. But the end result of Somante Krithavu is pretty disappointing, mainly due to the scattered nature of the movie. Throughout the film, when it was jumping from one space to another with different topics,… Continue reading Somante Krithavu Review | A Quirky Character Lost in a Wobbly Script
Vaathil Review | A Tension-Filled Second Half Makes This Inconsistent Thriller Passable
Vaathil, the new Malayalam film starring Vinay Forrt and Anu Sithara in the lead roles, starts off giving us a feeling that it has a lot of complex mysteries attached to it. But once the flashback unfolds, the beats become very generic. But in the movie’s second half, the film takes the shape of a… Continue reading Vaathil Review | A Tension-Filled Second Half Makes This Inconsistent Thriller Passable
Ramachandra Boss & Co Review | The Humor Makes This Hastily Made Heist Movie Bearable
I am not a fan of the movie Love Action Drama, but Nivin Pauly in that movie was a personal favorite performance. Ramachandra Boss & Co, Nivin’s second collaboration with Haneef Adeni after Mikhael, is similar to the Dhyan Sreenivasan movie in terms of packaging. It has witty moments for sure, thanks to Nivin Pauly… Continue reading Ramachandra Boss & Co Review | The Humor Makes This Hastily Made Heist Movie Bearable
Kolla Review | A Heist Thriller With neither Flair nor Flavor
In the recent past, there have been a few releases that came with the story credit given to the ace writer duo Bobby-Sanjay. Innale Vare, Evidey, Mohan Kumar Fans, etc., are among those list of movies. I have heard in their interviews that they start writing scripts only when the ideas maintain the excitement for… Continue reading Kolla Review | A Heist Thriller With neither Flair nor Flavor
