There are average or bad films with huge star cast backed by humungous budgets that get a lot of media attention. And there are some good films made with no big stars and with moderate budgets which don’t get much of media attention. Meppadiyan (“Above mentioned” in Malayalam) actually belongs to the above mentioned category.... 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, ...

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.

'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 →
Nayattu – My Flash Review!
Nayattu is yet another addition to the growing list of Malayalam films where the script is the hero. It is a thriller but not the edge of the seat variety but more of a slow burn, engaging type. 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 →
