Jana Gana Mana (2022)
Could have been better
Movie gave an 'okay' experience to me. I liked the making quality and performances. Camera work is also appreciable. But my doubt is that whether the movie could completely convey what it was meant to be. Is Saying every issue in a single sentence and merely touching the surface of every societal issues and just shouting with maas dialogues enough to have an impact on the socital status? And I'm so irritated that, I felt they have covered some aspects. When they show discriminations happening around, they are having an interest to categorize it as a classism.but actually it is casteism. It is the evil responsible for every single discrimination going on around us today. The discrimination on financial ups and downs actually arises from the caste based thoughts in people. Many times I could feel this was not clearly spoken. And when they talk about color based discrimination in primary textbooks, they have shown a light skinned hero and a dark skinned villain. When they convey that the politician was trying to play with the emosions of the public, the film does the same thing with audience. They are trying just to make the audience thrilled with super class dialogues and many times were forgetting the motive . I felt it very obvious in the court scenes. They were such dramatic ones portraying everyone including the judge watching a lawyer conducting his lengthy speech with nothing to say infront of him. The movie could have been better if they have shown some more responsibility. While handling such a topic, it is to be made sure that the motive is held close to the heart throughout. At many instances I felt, was the movie just shrinking to its commercial shell. Anyway movie was engaging. But fact is, it could have been better in its way of conveying the theme.
Puzhu (2022)
Puzhu❤
What a movie! From the beginning to end, I couldn't take my eyes off. Its has got such a strong and important plot to convey and I think that the film makers have shown justice to it to a great extend. The movie begins and ends in the theatre performance of kuttappan who eventually evolve as one of the strongest characters in the movie. The reference they have given to the story line of the film through the dramatical act of the mythological story involving 'pareekshith' and 'Thakashakan' was the most important aspect that excited me in it. When the worm eventually becomes the snake it causes the death of the representative of the evil. The character of Amir develops in such a way as that of a worm with revenge, in the main plot. Mammookka in his negative shade gave such a marvellous experience throughout. He actually broke the standards in fact he himself has created through bhaaskara patelar, raghavan etc..with this. When he feels the pain in his neck which has a back story of a gun shot he faced,we feel the same uneasiness. His perfomance is the main attraction of the movie. And I have a huge respect for Appunni sasi who doesn't act the role but lives in it. The socially relevent dialogues he delivers turns out as a slap on the most suffocating and arrogant face of the society. His performance with such easiness proves he was irreplaceable in the project. And when coming to Parvathy, in single watch we may feel she has nothing much to do in it, but when diving deep we realize that she has handled the character with such care that it progresses as a mild character but conveys the intensity. In this way every character has done their part very well. And I admire her, Ratheena... Because she has gifted a gem in her debut. In total it was a great experience to me watching the movie. The space gap they have given in each shot aren't voids but the open spaces given to the audience for their thoughts to be planted. It may be felt as a lag atleast for some. But my opinion is that the slow pace was very much necessary for the leach down of the story into the horizon of our hearts. The movie gifts so many magical moments.. When kuttappan with bharathi walks in between a group of so called 'elite class' from her home, when the fear of death strings kuttan like a snake, when in the end the worm remains by throwing away the evil.. So much to say... And the major thing the audience would have moved by may be the toxic parenting treatment given to kichu. The suffocation he might have experienced without even being able to laugh
or cry loud is touching. The truth is that such a parenting exists even now in our society. Thus the movie gives reference to many issues like racism, casteism, toxicity in bringing up children, etc... But the thing I felt that to the end, the story climax with the back story narration by Amir was somewhat having cliche elements and was quite predictable. In total the movie was such a nice one and would have been even more better if the topics were some more deeply talked to intensify it!!!
Beast (2022)
Beast
I'm a big fan of vijay. But this was quite disappointing. I had lot of expectations as its a movie from Nelson who has done a film like doctor. What happened is nothing worked out except the aura created by vijay, halamithi, blasts etc.. Humour worked at some points but was huge flop at many instance. It was very disappointing!!!
Little Women (2019)
Little women
I loved it.. After watching it I was just wondering how adorable she was.... Jo!! She is just awesome. She is the backbone of the fam. She is the one who was always in the realty rather than meaningless fantasies. When she plead to Meg to keep away from marriage and make her own living by herself, we find the fire.... The fire she earned from the the stories she read,miserable childhood they had and the irritating so called social norms around her. I love the film and half of its reason is jo.. And then coming to its making, I really got absorbed into every frame.. Such classy shots.. The shift between the two periods was amazing. The sacrifice, the sharing, the courage , the self confidence, the happiness, the grief all comes in it very very intensely. Yes of course Beth gave a sort of pain with in. When they form a family at the end,we really miss her. Her life, death and even her actions were silent but significant . At last we realize , yes this is the way of making a women centric movie, yes this is the story which has to be told in a patriarchal society, yes this is gonna make a change❤
Gangubai Kathiawadi (2022)
Gangubai kathiawadi
What a movie!!! What an acterss!!! What a director!!! Actually the movie itself is a statement. Apart from the plot, I'm sure that such a movie can be made in such a beautiful way only by SLB and the leading role of Gangubai can be enacted in such a fantastic way only by Alia bhatt. And if I write ' uff what a frames' it will be a joke because if it's an SLB movie it is mandatory and the one reason we would watch it is because of the its frames and amazing color palate. From the movie it's evident that bhansali has put 200% percent in to it and apart from other bhansali movies I think this one has got a very strong, much powerful script so that the movie was actually flowing into the heart. And also the dialogues were just awesome and the way she delivers it is heavenly. Oh my god, Alia batt's performance has made me amused. How hardly she has worked on the script and how gracefully she carried the character...Sometimes we feel like how she handles this much of emoions in seconds. We feel the situation through her. The love, betrayal, sentimence, care, excitement, bravery, confidence.. She has all of these with in her body language. And when it was captured in bhansali frame it was just perfect. And Ajay devgan Alia combo was very much pleasing. I must say the screen presence of Ajay Devgan is very much adorable so that with in two or three scenes the character could get fixed to our memory. Each and every actor let it be kamli, birju, the journalist, Rahim bhai, Raziya have done their character very well. And hats off to music and choreography. Dholida was amazing. The movie in total was an entertainment package with a strong plot and execution..
Night Drive (2022)
Night drive
I had much expectations for the movie because the actors are very promising along with an experienced director. But it could not break it. It was an 'okay' thriller. It was however interesting afterwards the entry of Indrajith. But the typical Vysakh climax with the cliche last scene fight and repeated color palette just destroyed the mood. With such great actors the film could have gone better. Thanks to Indrajith because he gives some moments in it which are memorable. And also the maass scenes which were intended to give goosebumps were really artificial. Also certain shots especially in the song sequence gave cringe. However it is a one time watchable movie . The actors have performed well except certain things which is imposed on them to do even if it doesn't suit them. It was an average one!!!
Naradan (2022)
Naradan
I really enjoyed watching the movie. In fact its thrilling and exciting aspects were appreciable. I think it has got a very strong and grippy scripting which could have slipped if handled carelessly. Casting is one of the perfect things in the film. From Cp to mudiyan all have done their part very well. Sharafudheen and Annaben actually nailed it. Also the usual pattern of depicting journalists with one hand on the top of the desk and reporting in a very unrealistic tone are brilliantly replaced. I also noticed the same thing for the court scenes also. Often the court scenes are very dramatic in our films with mass dialogues and undefeatable superiority of the leading actor. But here it is very carefully and realistically executed. And there was where I felt, 'oh the director is Ashiq abu'. When coming to its plot its a very sensitive and sensible one which must be spoken in the present days. Even the layman can understand that there is a clear division among journalists when it comes to the matter of ethics. It is very well conveyed. But at certain times certain slips and lag was felt and also we had some questions remaining in head especially regarding the opening issue of Narada channel. So there I felt if those aspects where also cleared out it would have become an ultimate one. And I'm glad that mollywood is very forward from the time of depicting an invincible hero even if he is a no. 1 criminal. Neglecting certain aspects of continuity at certain points, I enjoyed watching it. The opinions may vary among audience as it is a very tough topic to handle... Anyway I liked it!!!
Archana 31 Not Out (2022)
Not out :)
I approached the movie without any predictions and expectations. So I really enjoyed watching it. And it must be said that it is not a film which is to be rated as a mere feel good one... But its has some essence. As a girl I'm proud about Archana and her words that it's not a broker or an astrologist who decide my life. The movie has a different pace. Aiswarya lekshmi has one of her best performances in it. She has proven that she is really skilled in handling an urban and rural character with the same enthusiasm. And the major factor which impressed me is its direction. Akhil anilkumar has nailed it. He could well capture the innocence, normality and togetherness of a village life. The space given for each and every character is appreciable. And the first combination shot of Aiswarya lekshmi and Indrans sir from Archana's home was such a good one which made my eyes well up. The scene had that much intensity only because of the direction quality. Also Characters like Shibu, Archana's father, kunjan always will stay in the heart giving a small pain. However there was some kind of missing here and there. A small void was felt in the whole scripting. But I enjoyed it really well. The movie has tried its best to deviate from the usual path of portraying female centric stories. Two types of opinion was heard before watch. So my request is not to bother those and just watch it and make your own view. It's a movie which will remain close to heart atleast for some. Nice experience. Akhil Anilkumar will evolve as one of the busiest directors in the near future for sure!!!
Pada (2022)
Pada
What a magnificent work!!!Such an engaging one. Couldn't take my eyes off the screen throughout. Its a milestone.. Even if it is based on a true incident and everybody knows the issue, it thrills us at each and every minute. And spectacular performances from vinyakan, dileesh pothan, joju, kunchakko boban, arjun radhakrishnan, unnimaya prasad.. And I can't avoid anybody because each has put their 100% in it. The scenes I got goosebumps where mostly of T. J. Ravi sir... The minute detailing he has given to his character with tricky laughs and looks were just amazing. Also happy to see Indrans sir in another powerful character. The socio political scenario of that period is brought to screen with the same aggressiveness. The atrocities faced by the downtrodden is well conveyed from it. It criticizes the arrogant actions of the authorities without any vested interests. And Sameer Tahir has proven his accuracy once again.. Certain shots like those through the gaps of window panes were amazing. In total the movie was such a marvellous one with its plot, script quality and making style...
Gantumoote (2019)
Gantumoote
Such a realistic one... There is nothing exaggerated or fantasized in it..also its journey through the perceptions of Meera is much admirable.. She has carried the character very sincerely that at times we felt the same pain she had. Meera's baggage is full of experiences and experiments. It is filled with the sweet and sour phases of life. The smile remaining on her face at the last sequence reveals her sateity of having experienced many aspects of life and also the confidence she gained through her difficulties.. Also Madhu and Meera's chemistry is very well portrayed in the movie without any non realistic sequences. When they talk about Meera's friends fear on early marriage, the harassment Meera had to face from Prajwal for not accepting its proposal and the way she overcomes all the obstructions in her life establish a obvious politics of the film too.. Its sure that the makers have put a great courage and effort to create such a beautiful one. The shots still remain in thoughts..
Goodfellas (1990)
Goodfellas
Final word of gangster movies.... The tricky looks of jimmy, the cunning sharp eyes of henry and unpredictable brutalities from Tommy stick to our thoughts...Three of them have given their best in this.... And of course i was like 'awww' for Jimmy. And what a powerful lady was she, Karen...when she was pointing the gun against henry, she had the entire plights of her in her eyes... Such a brilliant one... Kudos to Scorsese❤
Bheeshmaparvam (2022)

Actual rating-7.5
It was such a fantastic experience to watch this movie in theatres. There is no need of any appreciation for the making as it is already assured because of Amal neerad. Such beautiful frames. And certain shots gave me goosebumps. The film is capable of creating a wave of ecstasy in theatres. And what to say. Mammookka, he is again and again proving that he is a legend and he is invincible. And the shades of Godfather given to the movie is evident in the first sequence itself. But the problem is that the plot and the story line is very familiar. So there is nothing new about it. The movie can be seen as a brilliant one only because of its direction , cinematography and performaces more than its plot. Each and every actor has done a very good job. Especially Soubin. He is just rocking. In total it is an enjoyable one in the sense of its making and shots and because of the fact that the movie has given a great theatrical experience that we have been missing for a long time.
Badhaai Do (2022)
Badhaai do
It was a great experience watching the film. Such a movie is a necessary one in the prevailing conditions of the society. The beauty in picturizing the romance between sumi and rimjim and shardul and titler is very much overwhelming. The music tracks given to them with entire female and male voices respectively was such a great thought. Also in the very first few minutes itself the filmmakers have broken all the stereotypes in filming such a theme by showing a gay policeman working out in gym and a lesbian pt teacher giving training in the school. I should say that the story plot and scripting is just amazing. And the wonderful moments they gifted with impressive making style is also notable. The film is dealt with such a strong socially committed plot which is to be necessarily conveyed to the society. I enjoyed it very well. Such a nice one..
Doctor (2021)
Doctor
A power packed movie.. Perfect entertainer. Even if basic plot is common, with its making the film becomes much engaging. Sk is just wow as always. Every actors especially those who dealt with comedy did it with much perfection. Humour worked out very well. The counters which could have been diverted as body shaming is very carefully handled. Very clean and clear. Equal importance is given to each. And of course..Anirudh has my heart in this. When u hear the classic bgm towards the end, I'm sure you'll get goosebumps. That single bit could make the scene heavenly and it could prove Anirudh's versatility. Well directed class movie. Hatsoff to the whole team...
tick, tick...BOOM! (2021)
Tick tick boom
The movie is an amazing treat especially to music lovers for sure. The musical ecstasy created is prolonged in ears and hearts of the viewers. I felt some lag for the movie to fall in track. But once, when it fell, along with it we also flowed, flew and flowered. And It was crystal clear from the movie about AG's oscar nomination. He has lifted the movie to its next level with his performance. He has created a magic! The movie could well portray the tension, happiness, the messiness and joy of musical life with equal importance. At the same time,the major merit of the script is that, it could also brilliantly and easily convey the sophisticated personal life of Jon. Micheal-jon combo was touching the deepest trenches of my heart. In total, movie was a nice one for me.
Mahaan (2022)
Mahaan
Overall movie was enjoyable. First half was a little disappointing. But the film was lifted up with Dhruv Vikram's entry. And it was a typical 'appa pullai aattom' in the following sequences. But when talking about the climax, i was not satisfied with its political side. The last shot turns out to be a satisfying one for chiyaan fans. But it may not be acceptable for all. However the face transitions of vikram in the last portions reminded of Anyan. Bobby Simha has lifted his character to a next level. And it's damn sure that Dhruv will sooner build up his acting career not as Dhruv Vikram but as actor Dhruv. He is very promising. Karthik Subbaraj touch was there throughout the frames. Vikram-Dhruv combo scenes were the most interesting part. In total it was above average.
Shyam Singha Roy (2021)
Shyam singha roy
Nice movie..more than its story plot, i was excited to see the brilliant and classic execution of the film. Each and every frame is captured in our heart. The basic plot of the movie lies on a never relatable superstition and even shown that the law approves it. So what to do is to take it as just a fantasy and not more than that. But making wise the movie is very much satisfying. The makers have given extra care in it's technicality. Saipallavis performance is just amazing... She has carried the character very reasonably. And Nani has played Shyam singha roy very well. His easiness in portraying sucha a powerful character is notable. In total, movie is a visual treat, even if the story plot s not wholly acceptable. Also in certain instances they could have shown care to avoid some clichés existing since a long time. Overall I liked it. Worth watch!!!
The Power of the Dog (2021)
The power of the dog
What a movie. Even if it's a slow paced one the journey of the movie is exciting. It has a normal plot. But the style of making is awesome. Benedict cumberbatch has stolen the show. The performances of the characters make the movie perfect. Each and every frame is just wow!!! In fact I got goosebumps at many instances!very exciting... Brilliant execution...
Sila Samayangalil (2016)

Brilliant, hearttouching, socially committed, relevent movie. Classic from priyadarshan. Prakashraj has stolen the show. The little lag given to the movie makes the audience realize the weirdness of the wait done by the characters... Classic movie❤
Bheemante Vazhi (2021)
Bheemante vazhi
One time watchable nice movie.. It has an interesting plot. The creation of characters is brilliantly done. The maharashi-bheeman relation is very well conveyed. And the thing i liked the most is that the movies has broken many stereotypes which are common in our films and in our society. But the climax wedding scene could have been avoided as it gave a normal tail end to the movie.. The performance of Jinu joseph as kosthepp is remarkable. Was nice experience watching the movie.
Kaaval (2021)
Kaaval
A slow pace average movie. This movie which was expected to give a break for Sureshgopi couldn't convey anything to audience. Frankly, the watching of movie was really a boring task. Surashgopi was delivering the dialogues very slowly. Also I think that the heroic dialogues when come in every 5 minutes are no more heroic!!! The climax which the film makers thought to be very surprising was quite predictable and was cliché. The films like lelam and vazhunnor from renji panicker - Sureshgopi team could make an impact in audience. But this film which was expected to do the same could not even touch its fence!!! However characters Rachel and Alex are well portrayed.. Also certain shots were good!!
Marakkar: Lion of the Arabian Sea (2021)
Marakkar
Actually,movie shattered the expectations and excitement of film buffs including lalettan fans. On seeing its positive side, it is good at its vfx. Chinnali and Aarcha are very well portrayed. But for such a movie with this much hype, i think that the script writer and director should have been more responsible. Casting also failed for many of the charcters. Also the slang of dialogues which is much important in such a historical film is very carelessly handled. What shocked me is that even mohanlal couldn't make the character heartouching. Also the costume was not at all comfortable to many of the actors. The uncomfortness could be felt mainly in fight sequences. The first 45 minutes of Pranav mohanlal were very enjoyable due to his flexible and lovable performance. The film couldn't create an anxiety at any of the sequences. The movie was not at all engaging. I expected more from Priyadarshan - Mohanlal combination ...
Minnal Murali (2021)
Basil brilliance.
A wonderful experience. A must watch. Milestone to mollywood. Director's brilliance is evident in most of the frames. Classic shots. And the most important thing to point out is Girusomasundaran's performance. He has created a magic in every scene in which he is involved. A well executed movie. Planned and executed brilliantly within the limits of mollywood. Hats off to the team for standing strong in all of the difficulties faced during shooting and creating such a masterpiece.

What a movie!! Leached deep into the soul because of its concept, making and performances by actors.... I feel weird for being late to watch it!!❤... Must watch!!!
