Dinjith & Bahul first set up eko's unique ambience (time and place) beautifully drawing us in, then pace the screenplay perfectly, stack it up with an eclectic (and fantastic) cast, and finally provide a knockout climax punch. A very satisfying theatre visit. #malayalam #movies

I'm a fan of Senna Hegde's work and Avihitham does an excellent job of using a largely male cast and their male gaze to subvert itself and present a woman's pov. Also, brilliant title art. However I did feel that the slow burn was a little inconsistent. #malayalam #movies

Aabhyanthara Kuttavaali raises an increasingly pertinent issue, but first loses track while trying to make it a all-you-can-fit-in buffet, and then goes further downhill by getting into preach mode. Some focus and a shorter runtime might have made it better IMO #malayalam #movies

Sometimes, just sometimes, the Facebook algorithm gets it right. What a lovely Dharmendra story!

Arjun Ashokan carries Thalavara extremely well with a nuanced performance, and is helped along by a very solid support cast. Well-paced, believable screenplay and a story and protagonist one feels for. #malayalam #movies

I think Jeethu Joseph made a bet to make a movie with the maximum twists possible, and he won easily. In the last 45 minutes of Mirage, all you do is repeatedly ask "Say, what?" The audience, I suspect, had motion picture sickness thanks to the curves! #malayalam #movies

Sahasam is what you watch when you do not want to manage your brain, and simply want 2 hours of absurd mindlessness that will make you laugh. Narain and Babu Antony both deliver that perfectly, but don't try to keep track of things. #malayalam #movie

I really have to wonder why Oru Ronaldo Chithram didn't race through the first half and simply be a 1.5 hr movie that would have been worth a watch for that excellent last five minutes! Once again, amazing how Indrans manages to shine even in limited roles #malayalam #movies

Sumathi Valavu didn't work for me at all. A meandering screenplay that seemed to be going nowhere, song sequences stuffed in unnecessarily, and plot detours took the runtime to 2.5 hours, and spoiled that nice twist that they had in the end #malayalam #movies

I see what Althaf Salim tried with Odum Kuthira Chaadum Kuthira. Excellent effort and a bold experiment, but it probably took the absurdness to an extreme that was difficult to rein in. Lal and some hilarious wordplay stole the show, and Suresh Krishna. #malayalam #movies

Hridayapoorvam stays in the recent Sathyan Anthikad template - warm comedy-drama with a unique protagonist story. What worked are some poignant moments that stayed with me, and what I thought was a good performance by Malavika Mohanan. #malayalam #movies

It was possibly because I saw Nadikar with the least of expectations that I was able to sit through it. I think they all got lost while trying to execute that interesting single line thread of unravelling they began with. #malayalam #movies

Myth അല്ല, മുത്താണ്! Lokah is OMG level amazing. Terrific script that weaves in folk lore in the contemporary era. Kalyani is fantastic. The collective ohs in the hall for the brilliant cameo setups - for the planned 'universe', made the theatre visit worth it #malayalam #movies

Dheeran is quite the surprise package - excellent build up, neat backstories, and very good performances from pretty much everyone. Also ridiculously hilarious when it wants to be. One of those movies, in which you feel everyone is comfortably competent. #malayalam #movies

JSK wastes a pertinent theme, and a potentially good plot with an inconsistent screenplay that seemed to have retrofitted random things into the narrative. I was more intrigued by Suresh Gopi's character going against the church, and quoting the constitution. #malayalam #movies

Vyasanasametham Bandhumithradhikal takes a little time to set the pace, but a perfectly cast set of supporting characters, and some very good situational comedy makes it an easy laugh riot when it does get going

Youthful exuberance, the nostalgia that the 90s ambience creates - complete with the music and props, and the sheer talent, ensures Moonwalk works, despite the simplistic underdog story and slightly inconsistent screenplay.

Dedicated to the star who has consistently delivered on his real brand promise, even as he is busy delivering bang for the buck, and pioneering driverless cars in India.

Dileesh Pothan crushes it in the intense Ronth. A slow burn start that sets the premise, key characters, their inner demons, morality, and their relationship morphs into a gripping, edge-of-the-seat climax. Brilliant.

Pariwar does a great job of both situational and dialogue comedy in the midst of a not-so-new premise - four sons fighting while their father on his deathbed. Jagadish absolutely steals the show, and is supported well by Indrans and Prashanth Alexander. #malayalam #movies

Narivetta's intensity, I felt, came from the horrific incident it is based on, and not the screenplay. The performances, barring Pranav and Suraj, were average. It isn't a bad movie, but say, a Pada (2022) raised the bar in all respects.

Azadi, IMO, had an excellent idea of a plot but hyperextended it unnecessarily. A 1.5 hour screenplay with better casting would have elevated this movie. If you manage to stick on till the very end, you might still find it worth it. #malayalam #movies
