Official Trailer: So far there are very few anthologies where all the stories worked. After Sillu Karupatti, all the five stories fare better, cross the above average bar, giving something fresh in Freedom Fight. The impact of each story comes out different. Ration and Old Age Home are subtle and leaves the interpretation to the audience. Geethu Unchained conveys the freedom aspect in a straightforward manner, nothing overdone but no
Official Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KqZoyBQo7c We would have come across security guards in malls, corporates, gated communities. We would have come across delivery boys. We would have seen cleaners in hotels. We know most of them have moved from other places. Migrants from far away states. Unlike us who migrate to dreamlands for a better living, this segment of population moves out of their native villages to get a job, any job,
Official Trailer: It is hard to slot Bhoothakaalam into a genre, a horror, or a psychological thriller. Or is it a psychological-drama-horror-thriller? You can infer the title as the past or the ghosts from the past. Like the series The Haunting of Hill House, do the ghosts lurk in their minds or are they really lurking in the shadows of the house. From the first frame, director, Rahul Sadasivan, skillfully
Official Trailer: How do you make someone to watch the 5-story anthology? Start with one of the worst in the pack. Set the bar low. Then hope relativity kicks in.

The Power of the Dog: Bronco Henry told me that a man was made by patience and the odds against him Official Trailer: The Power of the Dog falls in the bucket of movies where I fell on the other side of the critics. Critics loved it…but I found the movie a good watch but not on par with director Jane Campion’s earlier outing The Piano (1993). Movie does have
Kadaseela Biriyani: No one can live without fear but what you fear is a choice Official Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7zJwUFwoxg Kadaseela Biriyani takes an age-old revenge story and narrates it in a unique way, it comes across as fresh, weird, and interesting. Since it breaks the cliches, it does throw us off guard frequently. Three brothers go on a journey to avenge the death of their father. Younger one is forced to
[SPOILERS AHEAD …] Official Trailer: First things first. It is so refreshing to see a Muslim character as a protagonist in a Kollywood movie after a long time. That too as a normal person than someone out to terrorize the public. I guess in the last 3 decades Muslims were shown either as terrorists or stereotyped thanks to Roja and bunch of Vijayakanth and Arjun movies in that phase for
Official Trailer: Sivaranjinium and Innum Sila Pengalum (SISP), like The Great Indian Kitchen (TGIK) delves deep into patriarchy and how women get crushed by expectations and norms.
