When you watch The Railway Men, what strikes you most are the highly superior production values and the making of the series. I haven’t seen one in recent times on Indian OTT platforms that has taken such painstaking efforts to recreate an Indian heartland town of the 80s. For people like me who belong to...

Kannur Squad – My Flash Review!
The title Kannur Squad sounds like a story of some crack covert team from Kerala but out on some mission of National and International consequence. This film is indeed about a crack team but from the Police that operated in real in Kannur to investigate and crack down on the rising crimes in North Kerala... Continue Reading →
Irugapatru – My Flash Review!
Family dramas and Romcoms as genres are a rarity in Tamil cinema these days. Consumed by the “Star” and ‘Mass” fixation, films of big stars and wannabe stars have all been treading the same beaten path of extreme violence, adrenaline-pumping action sequences, revenge sagas, murder mysteries and excessive noise. Irugapatru meaning “Hold tight” in Tamil... Continue Reading →
Jaane Jaan – My Flash Review!
Kareena Kapoor is a single mother living with her teenage daughter and running an eatery in a hilly town in what seems to be a still and peaceful life till an unsolicited guest comes into their life. The guest who is the Ex-husband of Kareena uses the past to create trouble in the present for... Continue Reading →
Jawan – My (late) Flash Review!
As I write this, Jawan has already completed more than two weeks in theatres and has turned out to be a humungous box office hit beating many records. The film starring Shahrukh Khan is directed by Atlee, a relatively new name in Bollywood but a very familiar name in South India having churned out successive... Continue Reading →
Jailer – My Flash Review!
Any Rajinikanth movie comes with loads of expectations and associated hype and Jailer is no exception. The film, coming at the back of a few average outings like 2.0, Durbar and Annatthe for the actor and an underwhelming Beast for Director Nelson obviously arrived with additional pressure for these two. First up, I must say... Continue Reading →
Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahani – My Flash Review!
I always thought that as a filmmaker Karan Johar doesn’t just make films, but celebrates films. Invariably his films wade into oodles of nostalgia at every opportunity. His latest film – Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahani (Rocky from here on) goes a step further. It is an unapologetic tribute to the Bollywood of Yore,... Continue Reading →
Maamannan – My Flash Review!
Mari Selvaraj the director of this film Maamannan, continues with his pet theme of caste oppression from his earlier films - Pariyerum Perumal and Karnan in this film as well. He also stays consistent in the narrative where the hero from the oppressed community seeks redemption in a sense and seeks revenge on the dominant... Continue Reading →
Jackson Bazaar Youth – My Flash Review
With a title like that, it is difficult to fathom what the film is all about. A few minutes into the film, you get that it is the name of a local band around which the story is centred. The band is shown to be very popular in the small town of Kerala somewhere near... Continue Reading →
Thrisanku – My Flash Review!
There was a time when Malayalam cinema was a factory for comedy films of great quality. These were the heydays of the famed Mohanlal-Srinivasan combo when clean comedy films of the slapstick genre used to regale us no end. Priyadarshan took many of these films to Bollywood with a lot of success until the predictability... Continue Reading →
