Director Raj Mehta’s (of JugJugg Jeeyo) ‘Selfiee’ is a comedy-drama film, a remake of the 2019 Malayalam film ‘Driving Licence’ that featured Prithviraj Sukumaran and Suraj Venjaramoodu. Though Selfiee is a remake, the plot, situations & circumstances are slightly adjusted to the sensibilities of Akshay Kumar fans. And that seems to be a letdown. While Driving Licence was very straight forward in showcasing the issue and the resolution, Selfiee is over-the-top, which kills the very soul of the narrative.

MollywoodAs one of those rare actors in Malayalam cinema who has effectively managed to make the transition from comedy to character roles, it is startling that Suraj seems to have suddenly reached stagnation in his career.There is a stillness about Roy that’s almost disquieting. A loner who had to be wooed by his current wife into marriage, Roy doesn’t really subscribe to the stereotypical notions of masculinity. In an earlier scene in the psychological thriller Roy, directed by Sunil Ibrahim, he scrubs the kitchen clean, calmly waits until midnight for his wife to come back from the office, and whips up a cup of coffee for her. He has a strange condition — he isn’t able to differentiate between his reality and dreams anymore, and some future events seem to be manifesting in his dreams.

Living with a ‘disorder’ that no doctor has been able to diagnose so far, Roy treads a fine line between dreams and reality. Suraj Venjaramoodu is convincing as Roy, a middle-aged man who has come to terms with his complex reality over the years. It is only with his much younger wife Teena, played by a charming Sija Rose, that he can afford to be his true self.

MollywoodTovino’s willingness to push boundaries may not be unique in Mollywood. However, there’s something to be said about his intelligent script selection that always manages to flout the audience’s expectations.Sowmya RajendranFacebookTovino Thomas is among the busiest actors in the Malayalam film industry. He’s also fast becoming its most versatile star from the current generation. His last release Thallumaala made close to Rs 75 crore and is the second highest grossing Malayalam film of 2022. Directed by Khalid Rahman, the title translates to ‘a ballad of brawls’ and the film is exactly that – the characters are introduced through fights, friendships are formed through fights, the plot develops through fights, people fall in love and break up through fights. The audience has to figure out which fight came first in the non-linear plot to make sense of it all – and there are social media fights on whether this is...

ReviewThough director M Padmakumar comes to his element in some scenes in the second half of the film, the cliché-ridden first half is likely to have already drained you out by then.Fahir MaithuttySuraj Venjaramoodu as Solomon in Pathaam Valavu | Credit: YouTubeWhen M Padmakumar's Joseph released in 2018, it had come as a pleasant surprise. A sleeper hit, the film also gave a big boost to the career of actor Joju George. Pathaam Valavu is Padmakumar's attempt to return to the crime drama genre after the debacle of Mamangam. The result, however, is rather underwhelming when compared to Joseph. Pathaam Valavu begins with Sub Inspector Sethu (Indrajith) and his fellow officers on the lookout for a jail inmate named Solomon (Suraj Venjaramoodu), who has absconded at the end of his parole. Sethu and his men soon find and arrest Solomon. But on the way back down the hill, there is a...

ReviewThe film pits Prithviraj and Suraj Venjaramoodu against each other, appears to take a questionable stand but gets it right later.CrisTwo hours and forty three minutes seems like a long time for a movie – especially when Jana Gana Mana began, all rickety rackety and without a clue of where it was going. It also seemed to take a very questionable point of view and by the time the movie broke for interval, I had very little hope for it. But, despite a few tiring punch lines and helpless preaching, Prithviraj and co do drive home a point, and the film, which appeared to have all the time in the world, suddenly seems rushed with too much to say in too little time. Rather like many of us slackers, who remember in the last minute that there was somewhere to go and it was getting late. With the 2019 film Driving License,...

Creating a path for the people in the neighbourhood, so they won’t need to squeeze themselves or lift the elderly over fences to reach a road. It is not exactly the heroic adventure of one man speaking for many, or winning fights against the dreaded red tape.

He renders it with a loud comical drawl and it is considered an image breaker for someone who is often lampooned for his inability to pull off comedy. So, it is ironic and momentous that he creates an epic emotional act in the middle of that hilarious mayhem. In that scene, where he reveals his identity to his mother, Mammootty brings forth the intensity and pathos he is known for, within the parameters of a local dialect. And no, he doesn’t go off the mark even for a nanosecond. He intones it with the same microscopic detailing he displayed while rendering that loud “Thirontharam” slang. Many...

The actor/director Sidharth Bharathan’s accident and serious injuries were a shock for Malayalam film lovers two years ago. But his miraculous recovery from these injuries is proving to be a boon for the Malayalam film industry through his latest and third venture as director of “Varnyathil Aashanka” (translation: “Confusion in Description”).
“Varnyathil Aashanka” focuses on a bunch of small time crooks Kauta Sivan (Kunchacko Boban), Para Wilson (Chemban Vinod), Pratheesh (Shine Tom Chacko) and Chambakkara Gilbert (Manikandan Achari). Through a chain of events, they come together for a heist on a hartal (strike) day. Dayanandan (Suraj Venjaramoodu) an unemployed family man, accidentally enters the scenario.
While the plot is quite simple, it’s the subject treatment that makes the film interesting. The screenplay, written by Thrissur Goplaji, is the backbone of the film. Each and every dialogue is driven by a clear political stand while keeping it humorous.
