Demanding a Rajeev Ravi film on a Vineeth Sreenivasan movie ticket is silly. If you don’t like the elements that define a Vineeth Sreenivasan movie, Varshangalkku Shesham is not going to be your cup of tea; but if you are a fan of the bubble-wrapped delicateness of his movie-making, Varshangalkku Shesham is Exhibit A.
For the unreserved, Vineeth, the eldest son of noted Malayalam screenwriter and actor Sreenivasan, is a filmmaker known for his feel-good stories coated with preachy motivation and an overload of goodness. In Vineeth’s cinematic universe, everything has a warm color tone, people are nicer than usual, romances are over the top, characters who struggle in life can still afford a cozy studio apartment, every character gives free advice to the squandering male lead, and every door he apparently knocks on seems to open. Now, put all these elements together, and you get a blueprint...

Top 5 South Indian Web Series That Will Keep You Hooked. (Photo Credit – IMDb)
Do you remember the good old days? When we used to be glued to those awesome US and UK TV shows! Like “The Vampire Diaries” for teen girls, “Heroes” for the comic book geeks, “How I Met Your Mother” for the hopeless romantics, and “24” for the thrill-seekers. But man, we were stuck with dial-up before we had super-fast internet. Watching a show meant catching it live or waiting for a rerun or the DVD release. It was a totally different vibe growing up back then, you know?
And let’s talk about India, where TV serials ruled the roost, airing every day instead of once a week like in the West. Sure, folks used to clown them for being mass-produced junk, but they were our bread and butter back then. Then came the internet boom, bringing with...

There is no dearth of television shows and web series that have been released this year. Many were brilliant at the subject they chose to tackle, while others were good only on paper. Many might have had good performances, while others relied only on the premise because the rest of the aspects were not very engaging. There were a handful of shows that were interesting and kept the audience hooked. Here is a list compiled by us for your perusal and interest.
The Night Manager (Hindi)
Disney+ Hotstar finally forayed into official remakes of popular shows from the West. There was plenty of apprehension regarding the Hindi adaptation of The Night Manager, mainly due to the popularity of the original British show that features the amazing Olivia Coleman and Tom Hiddleston. Thankfully, Sandeep Modi and Shridhar Raghavan delivered a faithful adaptation by giving it a subcontinental flavor. The best part...

Phoenix Movie Review Rating:
Star Cast: Aju Varghese, Nilja K Baby, Abhirami Bose, Chandhunadh, Anoop Menon, Bhagath Manuel
Director: Vishnu Bharathan
Writer: Midhun Manuel Thomas
Review of ‘Phoenix’ Is Out! (Picture Credit: IMDb)
What’s Good: “Phoenix” breaks free from traditional horror tropes, focusing on the emotion of longing rather than vengeful spirits. The screenplay skillfully intertwines a love story with a deadly cholera outbreak, creating a unique and nuanced narrative. The deliberate pace and avoidance of excessive jump scares contribute to the film’s eerie atmosphere.
What’s Bad: While the film successfully explores complex themes, the romantic exchanges between Freddy and Anna sometimes suffer from an overly dramatic tone. An attempt to present Freddy in a positive light feels unnecessary, given his self-centered nature. The first half is marred by an excessive use of suspenseful music, potentially disrupting the viewing experience for some.
Loo Break: Around the 47-minute mark,...
