Dear Urvashi 2020 belongs to you. In Varane Avashyamundu, its when you sat in a restaurant across Kalyani Priyadarshan first this year that I was reminded of your ability to walk away with a movie no matter how much small screen time you have. When you told Kalyani that you will miss her, but asked […]
Though Soorarai Pottru is overall a good movie, it’s first half is exceptional. Haven’t seen a first half this great in a long while. There is a beautiful rhythm to it when the director and the actor is both in top form complementing each other. The pacing , the structure and placement of scenes are […]
8 years before on this day, Nov 13th, I watched Thuppakki on its first day. Since then I have not seen a better superstar mass action entertainer movie in any language in India. Thuppakki was a classic in action thriller genre. A look through some of its great frames on its 8th anniversary and what […]
Prithviraj Sukumaran’s biggest asset is that you cannot predict what he’s upto next. He could switch between genres or surprise you handling any field of Cinema. He could be the director, the producer, the singer and the actor. Even as an actor, he could be the hero one day. He wouldn’t mind playing the villain […]
CU soon is very good. Though the similarity to Searching was expected, how the movie manages to move you deeply was something that took me by surprise. After some mediocre editing works in movies like Mikhael, Mahesh Narayanan gets back to great form in editing which is another factor that helps C U Soon enormously. […]
Jeethu Joseph’s 2013 movie Memories still remains one of the finest investigative thrillers to have come out in Malayalam Cinema. One of its most distinguishing features is how the movie is shot in low light or night for the most part. The movie starts at night. The interval is at night. The climax is at […]
One of Malayalam Cinema’s biggest mysteries would be how Devadoothan became a flop at box-office. I still remember how the movie managed to both scare and stun me when watching it first day in theaters 20 years back. Just look at these visuals! Thanks Amazon Prime for this remastered print !

Its 34 years before on 17th July 1986, that Rajavinte Makan released and Mohanlal was anointed the new Superstar of M-Town. 34 years later, not only Mohanlal has shown no signs of decline as a superstar, he still remains Malayalam industry’s biggest superstar – a feat that is perhaps not enjoyed by any other actor […]
“She is just 15. Ask her about this after 5 years and she will laugh about it”. ” 5 years then- I will convince all of you after 5 years”. Was watching Anarkali the other day and wondering what a different idea this movie had for a romance, just when you thought the genre had […]
I don’t think there is another lead actor in India who does comedy better than Mohanlal used to do in his prime. There is also perhaps no other better testimonial to it than the uproarious Chandralekha. If Mohanlal is rib-tickling loud in some scenes, its about his subtle change of expressions in others. He walks […]
