When films that are hyped in “beast” like proportion flatter to deceive these days, here’s a low profile film that’s a beauty. Night Drive, a Malayalam film that has recently dropped on Netflix without much brouhaha is a pleasant surprise all the way. The film starts out as a normal, matter of fact film with...

Pada – My Flash Review!
Close on the heels of The Kashmir Files, comes Pada a Malayalam film that is also based on a real life story that happened in Palakkad way back in 1996. Pada meaning “Army” is about how a small group of people called the “Ayyankali Pada” take the law into their hands to get justice for... Continue Reading →
Hridayam – My Flash Review!
If you were an Engineering student, now in your 30’s, lived in a hostel that too in Tamil Nadu, got ragged and ragged others, had your share of fun during student life but without studying, spent time participating in Cultural fests, eyed girls or boys and now sort of settled in life and in career, ...

Bro Daddy – My Flash Review
Bro Daddy is actor Prithviraj Sukumaran’s second directorial venture after the super hit Mohanlal starrer Lucifer. Compared to Lucifer which was an action-packed stylish full blown mass film, Bro Daddy is a light film that is easy to the mind, pleasing to the eye and relaxing to the senses. In that sense, it is very... Continue Reading →
Kurup – My (late) Flash Review!
The Malayalam film “Kurup” dropped on Netflix this week after a successful theatrical release. The core story is based on a real life incident around Sukumara Kurup who committed a murder of his look alike and faked his own death to claim insurance proceeds. This happened in Kerala in the 80’s. The most interesting part... Continue Reading →
Kaanekaane – My Flash Review
As I have been saying of late, Malayalam cinema is on a 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... 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. 'Malik' apparently was made before this and was awaiting a mega theatrical release but finally got released on the OTT... Continue Reading →
Cold Case – My Flash Review
Cold Case is a Malayalam film that has recently dropped on Prime Video. The well cut trailer promised an interesting film where the genre overlapped between being a murder mystery/investigative thriller and a Super Natural thriller. While watching the film, it is clear that the film fell victim to this overlap. A skull is discovered... Continue Reading →
Aarkkariyam – My Flash Review
I hadn’t known much about this film which was released on Prime a few weeks ago perhaps due to the lack of buzz and that’s a bit surprising and not surprising. Surprising because here’s another Malayalam film which is not the usual run of the mill type and attempts to explore a new theme. And... Continue Reading →
