When the announcement was made that the director of Anuraga Karikkin Vellam teaming up with Mammootty in a cop movie, I, like many, didn’t really know what to expect. Unda’s success started there. It was the exact opposite of the movies that we have seen over the years with Mammootty as a police officer. Mammootty’s […]

Directed by Daniel Benmayor, Xtreme (Xtremo: spanish title) is a spanish revenge thriller with hard-boiled, adrenaline pumping action sequences, some of the best I have watched recently!! A retired hitman Maximo teams up with his step-sister and a troubled teen to avenge the killings of their family by a common enemy, none other than his […]
I love the way Dibakar Banerjee chooses not to fall into the bollywood formulaic traps everytime he wears a directors cap. His storytelling is often character driven and it is not much different in Sandeep or Pinky Faraar either, but there are a few catches here which hindered my experience. As the title suggets Sandy […]
Not everyone likes Zombie movies and for anyone to like them they should be ready for some mindless fun while keeping their logic at home. If you are ok with these, Army of the dead can give you genuine entertainment filled with action, fun, sudden twists along with some cool tracks and splendid VFX. Zack […]
Nizhal is the first directorial venture of Appu. N. Bhattathiri, who has won several accolades as an Editor including the state award for Ozhivudivasathe Kali and Veeram in 2017. It starts in great fashion with some arresting visuals and the premises built up for a splendid finale. But due to some uninspiring storytelling in the […]

I have watched several LGBTQ movies before and after this one. What Prayers for Bobby has done to me differently compared to […]
Writer-director Praveen Kandregula’s debut venture Cinema Bandi is a delightful little movie with full of innocence, fun and hope. It is a story of an entire village lining up behind an auto rickshaw driver to make a movie when he comes upon an expensive shooting camera at the back of his auto. When Veerababu gets […]
Shatranj Ke Khilari (The Chess Players) is the legendary Satyajit Ray’s first Hindi film and probably his only full length Hindi-Urdu film. A film which shows how masterfully Ray uses the situations and tools to help his narration, Shatranj Ke Khilari is a political satire which depicts the usurping of Avadh, a united province which […]
Directed by Céline Sciamma, Portrait of a Lady on Fire is an everlasting and moving piece of art. Here’s my take on the latest addition to my all time favourites list. Set in the 18th century France, It tells the story of a painter Marianne and the story behind one of her creations, […]
Rohith V S is at it again with another experiment, after his decent attempts in Adventures of Omanakkuttan and Iblis. This time he has come up with an out and out action thriller that has expert craftsmanship written all over it. Kala’s storyline is a single day event and it revolves around an upper class […]
