Review Of Adikeshava: Adikeshava Works Partially For The Lead Pair’s Chemistry
Adikeshava(Telugu,Netflix) Starring Vaisshnav Tej, Sreeleela, Joju George Directed by Srikanth N Reddy Rating: ** ½ Junkfood may not be the ideal ally for your tummy. But it sure as hell tastes good as long as it lasts. I know Adikeshava has not been liked much by either the critics or the audience. But look closer…or do I mean,son’t look too closely…There is a distinct element of tongue-in-cheekiness about the way the writer-director Srikanth Reddy sets up the plot.

Review Of Adrishyam: Should Have Remained Invisible
Adrishyam (Malayalam-Tamil Bilingual) Rating: * ½ Surrogate parenthood is given the sledgehammer treatment in this awful Malayalam-Tamil bilingual about a bunch of ill-conceived characters who suffer and suffer, but not as much as we do. I asked myself at least 6-7 times, should I give up, use this time to do something more creative, like digging a trench or blowing bubbles? Adrishyam is ample proof that not all work being done in Malayalam cinema is worth our while.The screenplay strewn with outrageous twists and turns, includes a woman Karthika (Anandhi) who i | Click Here...
Review Of Madhuram: Sweet Sentimental Schmaltzy Send-off
Madhuram(Malayalam, SonyLIV) Starring Joju George, Shruti Ramachandran, Arjun Ashokan, Nikhila Vimal and Indrans Witten & Directed by Ahammed Khabeer Rating: *** ½ At first the amount of sentimental sweetness that pours into writer-director Ahammed Khabeer’s modern fable on hoping healing and acceptance, overpowers you. How can any film laying such a legitimate claim to realism invest so much nobility into suffering? How could a place of pain, a hospital, be used to project such unconditional joy? The government hospital in Khabeer’ | Click Here...

Review Of One: Is Quietly Powerful, Restrained and Indignant
One(Malayalam,Netflix) Starring Mammootty, Murali Gopy, Joju George, Siddique, Mathew Thomas, Ishaani Krishna, Gayatri Arun and Nimisha Sajayan Directed by Santosh Viswanath Rating: *** Hold your horses, all you Mammootty devotees. The thundering thespian does not make his entry until half an hour into the plot. And what a grand entry it is! Mammootty's intro as the CM of Kerala has obviously been cannibalized by writers Bobby & Sanjay from their earlier 2014 screenplay in How Old Are You where Manju Warrior gets an invitation from th | Click Here...
Review Of Amazon Prime’s Halal Love Story: Admirable But Not Endearing
Halal Love Story(Malayalam, Amazon Prime) Starring Indrajith Sukumaran, Joju George, Sharaf U Dheen, Grace Antony, Parvathy Thiruvothu Directed by Zakariya Mohammed Rating: *** There is much to be admired in director Zakariya’s look at art during times of intense radicalism. Kerala, known both for its supremely sensitive cinema and religious radicalism is a state of cultural diversity and much of their cinema reflects that diversity. In director Zakariya’s directorial debut Sudani From Nigeria, a film that I both admired and loved, a black Nigeria | Click Here...
