Pranav Mohanlal gets the best 45 min sequence in the movie and even a rousing intro and closure – also the only rare instances in the film where the BGM generates some excitement . Pranav […]
The Mohanlal-Urvashi flashback track in 1992 movie Aham is one of Malayalam’s most well conceived and yet underrated segments. I wonder how Mohanlal couldn’t win any awards for this Also Read : Devadoothan and the frames that were ahead of its time

“I have never considered police as fools. Instead, I have only considered them as protectors of people. Which is why I strongly believe you and this police station would protect me” Georgekutty says this to the police inspector and starts walking outside the police station. We are all curious still where Varun’s body was buried, […]
