Malayankunju

Review

Malayankunju Review Malayankunju is much more than a straightforward survival story. It's a movie about how, despite our "progressive" pretensions, our culture and way of thinking are really stuck in a chasm of their own making. Director: Sajimon Prabhakar. Cast: Fahadh Faasil, Rajisha Vijayan, Indrans, Jaya Kurup & Ensembles. Review: Anikuttan (Fahadh Faasil), an electrician, lives with his mother in Wayanad (Jaya Kurup). Radhakrishnan (Jaffer Idukki) killed himself because his daughter ran away on her wedding day. This tragedy haunts Anikuttan, who looks down on the lower caste and is disturbed by noises. The baby's cries distract Anikuttan while he fixes the equipment. This small space is Anikuttan's world. Embraces a claustrophobic environment. As the film pro...

Pushpa: The Rise – Part 1

Review

Pushpa: The Rise - Part 1 Director - Sukumar Cast - Allu Arjun, Rashmika Mandanna, Fahadh Faasil, Rao Ramesh, Anasuya Bharadwaj, Ajay Ghosh. Genre - Action-Drama Runtime - 2hr 59min Synopsis: Pushpa Raj (Allu Arjun) is a coolie who illegally chops down red sandalwood and sells it to the authorities. Sukumar delves into uncharted terrain with Pushpa: The Rise. His performance is a mixed bag that's too lengthy at points but delivers on its promises. Pushpa: The Rise is a love story, and this decision may not sit well with everyone. The film stays true to its subject matter and concentrates on the minutiae of red sanders smuggling. Final showdown between Pushpa and Shekawat (Fahadh Faasil) falls flat because it is hurried. Review: In this rustic masala film...

Review

Jai Bhim “A clinical act of killing a film to perfection can be such like, Jai Bhim”.

LIFT

Review

Lift (Tamil) Cast: Kavin, Amritha Aiyer, Kiran Konda Director: Vineeth Genre: Drama, Horror, Mystery Runtime: 2Hr 14min Synopsis: One of today's most appalling truths is how companies use talented young people as a product. In the past, a number of cases have opened up the suffocating culture that puts the youth under immense strain. Lift, directed by Vineeth Varaprasad, is a horror film about a haunted lift and the office of a corporate firm. The best aspect of the film is that it is not your typical horror fare, which relies heavily on scary faces and jump-cuts accompanied by a screechy background score. Its unusual premise of a haunted corporate office adds much-needed freshness, and the unusual feature remains the film's driving force throughout. Review: The f...

Tughlaq Durbar

Review

Tughlaq Durbar Director: Delhiprasad Deenadayalan Writer: Balaji Tharaneetharan Cast: Vijay Sethupathi, Raashi Khanna, Parthiban, Manjima Mohan, Sathyaraj, Karunakaran Language: Tamil Synopsis: Vijay Sethupathi's Tughlaq Durbar, in which he stars, has an intriguing premise. This theory holds that the protagonist and antagonist are just two sides of the same story. Delhi Prasad Deenadayalan, on the other hand, has no desire to develop this idea into a more compelling storey. Because of this, despite its basic writing, Tughlaq Durbar is a boring movie. It had the potential to be an amusing comedy of manners, but it chose not to go down that route. Review: While reading, we'll be keeping tabs on the story's hero Singam (also known as Singaravelan). After his mother ...

Review

Thalaivi Cast: Kangana Ranaut, Arvind Swamy, Nassar, Bhagyashree, Samuthrakani, Madhu Bala Direction: AL Vijay Cinematography: Vishal Vittal Music: GV Prakash Kumar Editor: Anthony, Ballu Saluja Synopsis: Biopic on Jayalalithaa, the actress turned politician who served five terms as the Chief Minister for the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. Review: The story starts when Jayalalithaa was just getting her start in the entertainment industry. To Jayalalithaa's chagrin, her mother (Bhagyashree) is unwavering in her desire for her to pursue an acting career. In no time, she'll be starring alongside Tamil matinee idol MJR in a film (Arvind Swamy, formerly known as MGR). Despite his marriage to Janaki Ramachandran, MGR maintains a close relationship with Jayalalithaa. He en...

Navarasa

Review

Navarasa Directors: Arvind Swami, Gautham Vasudev Menon, , Priyadarshan, Sarjun KM, Karthick Naren, Karthik Subbaraj, Vasanth, Rathindran Prasad, Bejoy Nambiar Synopsis: Navarasa, a nine-emotion anthology, is now accessible on Netflix, and it's a complete letdown given the calibre of performers assembled. Four of the nine episodes are below average, three are moderately entertaining, and the remaining two are just average. The film industry's initiative to contribute to the well-being of its employees, known as Navarasa, is a praiseworthy one. Summer of 92 (Emotion- Haasyam) Priyadarshan directed this short film, which is based on a true storey. The film is reminiscent of the Malayalam comedy Katha parayumbol, in which Veluswamy (Yogi Babu), who is now a well-k...
