Simbu in Achcham Yenbadhu Madamaiyada
Short Reviews

Achcham Yenbadhu Madamaiyada Short Review

I don’t recall another movie in recent past whose graph goes as downhill as Achcham Yenbadhu Madamaiyada from the first half to second half. The first hour of the movie is delightful. It reminds you of Vinnaithandi Varuvaya and has moments that bring you smile. Especially the scene where Simbu gets rid of his friend to […]

Oru Muthassi Gadha has its heart at right place. It does convey a good message and it has several moments that bring a smile on your face. I liked the title sequence which once again shows Jude Anthany Joseph is one director who wants to keep trying things differently .But have to admit it is […]

Prithviraj in Oozham
Short Reviews

Oozham Malayalam Movie Short Review

What I really love about Jeethu Joseph in Memories and Drishyam is that he narrates even the major twists and turns swiftly and subtly. What happens is he catches the viewers by surprise, they applaud and they feel like going back to them immediately to experience it over again. This is what gave both movies […]

Oppam Review – Welcome Back Priyadarshan-Mohanlal. We’ve been waiting.

The first half has just completed and Priyadarshan has given a terrific thrilling interval block where the viewers would be curious to know what happens next. As the second half opens, you are treated to a comedy sequence instead between Mamukkoya and Chemban Vinod where the former keeps saying “Aadyam Kandathu Njammalu thanne” while the […]

Mohanlal and Jr NTR in Janatha Garage
Short Reviews

Janatha Garage Short Review

Jilla’s problem was not only that Mohanlal had an awful role but you also felt like he sleepwalked through it. In Janatha Garage, the actor has a substantial role and you could also see he is determined to make amends for the 2014 disaster. That he did not dub for the Telugu version would be […]
