Official Trailer: Malayalam film industry has kick started 2024 on a high. In span of two months, we have Malaikottai Vaaliban, Brahmayugam, and now Manjummel Boys. We can be lenient and add Kaathal – The Core (released November 2023) to the list. All different genre movies. What is common between them is the high confidence on the content, writing, and bold film making. Manjummel Boys is based on a true
Greatest night in pop: Check your ego at the door For those who love the pop songs and the singers from the 80s, Greatest night in pop, the documentary is a great trip down the memory lane. Nostalgic and emotional. Around 40 pop icons getting together to record a song is something out of ordinary, once in a lifetime opportunity like celestial event. IIRC, this is the first-time famous singers
Official Trailer: [SPOILERS AHEAD …] There are lots of similarities between The Great Indian Kitchen (TGIK) and Kaathal – The Core. Other than the fact that both are from the same director, Jeo Baby. Focus of these two movies is about love and freedom, but TGIK is an angrier version about lack of love and oppression in a marriage. There is more love in Kaathal, there is no anger, and
Official Trailer: [SPOILERS AHEAD…] What if Michael Corleone didn’t take the path of his father? What if he continued with his life of a normal person away from the mafia? What if Vito Corleone’s wife had her own career ambitions? What do you get if you start with these broader questions, and build a story? You get The Brothers Sun!!

Official Trailer: Similar to Kadaisi Vivasayi, Koozhangal is a movie hard to describe in words and has to be experienced. If you love cinemas that are about life and closer to reality don’t miss this.

Kadaisi Vivasayi: There are movies to be experienced and hard to describe it in words. Like Rashomon, 2001: Space Odyssey, Mad Max: Fury Road, The Killer (by David Fincher). Kadaisi Vivasayi is one of those. Kadaisi Vivasayi is not an action movie like Mad Max: Fury Road. It falls in different side of the spectrum but as a cinema the experience is similar. If you love cinemas that are about
Love Today: Girl, Nikitha, breaks the news to dad. Dad wants to meet the boy, Uthaman. Dad agrees to the marriage on one condition: Uthaman and Nikitha need to exchange their phones for a day. Do they really know each other? They have nothing to hide, right? This is an interesting premise. Full of potential and great material for the writer and director to explore. Unfortunately, idea that looks good
Two movies. One packages a good cinema while giving space to the heroisms. Second one fails to impress as a cinema but scores in tugging our hearts with its core message of humanity. Ayothi: Ignore the flaws this is a movie highly needed for the current India we live in 👏 Looking at the name I feared the movie is a Saami Padam, a movie about God. What a pleasant
Official Trailer: Movies about assassins are always intriguing and captivating if they are well made…Day of the Jackal, Collateral, The Killer (John Woo), No Country for Old Men, Nikita, Munich to call out a few. Well written villains and bad guys are more exciting to watch than the heroes 😀 Director David Fincher is not new to this domain. He has given us Zodiac, Seven, and Mindhunter which are about
Yeraatha Malai song: Listening to Malaysia Vasudevan’s songs collection the other day brought back old memories. My wife and I started discussing his memorable numbers, range, and emotion. Discussion led to topic of movies where his voice elevated the movie and the first movie that came to our mind was Muthal Mariyathai. So, we decided to watch the movie over the weekend. I had watched the movie first time during
