As I have been saying of late, Malayalam cinema is on roll these days. Kaanekaane is yet another brilliant Malayalam film that is now streaming on OTT (Amazon Prime) which made me wonder as to where do Malayalam films find such out of the box themes and mostly original! Like the other recent fine film... Continue Reading →
#Home – My Flash Review
Usually a review focusses on what the film is about. However, in this review of the delectably charming Malayalam film #Home, I would like to focus on what it is not about and you will soon understand why. #Home is not a murder mystery. Is not a revenge thriller. Is not about how a crime... Continue Reading →
Malik – My Flash Review
‘Malik’ has Fahadh Faasil as the hero and is helmed by Mahesh Narayanan. The last time this combo came together was for the experimental ‘C U Soon’, which turned out to be an interesting film.

Nayattu which means “the hunt” in Malayalam is of course about a hunt but, with a role... Continue Reading →
The Great Indian Kitchen – My (late) Flash Review!
Finally, got to watch “The Great Indian Kitchen”, the much talked about Malayalam film which is now streaming on Amazon Prime. Not just the title, the film is also like a Big Boss type reality show where cameras are positioned in different parts of a house and you just get to see continuous reels of... Continue Reading →
Joji – My Flash Review!
In a spectacular scene, the daughter in law of the house tells her brother in law to wear a mask and come to the hall where the body of his father is kept while friends and relatives keep thronging to pay their last respects. Yes, even in the film, it is Covid time – you... Continue Reading →
