The film features Kunchacko Boban, Arjun Ashokan, Manoj KU. It is proof that style is a very valid form of substance. Tinu Pappachan used to assist Lijo Jose Pellissery, and in his films, you get the same sense of a slightly surreal masculine world gone mad. Chaaver is a routine “crime and punishment” story, but […]
The film features Ratna Pathak Shah, Dia Mirza, Fatima Sana Shaikh, and Sanjana Sanghi as Manjari. But the routine screenplay does them (or us) no favours. Four women decide to undertake a bike ride to Khardung la, one of the highest motorable roads in the world. Along this road trip, they bicker and they bond […]
The film stars Gouri G Kishan and Shersha Sherief as a couple. But we don’t connect with their characters, and the result is a sweet but forgettable film. The opening scenes of Little Miss Rawther set the tone for the rest of the film. We are going to watch a filmmaker write a script from […]

The film stars Tabu, Ali Fazal, Wamiqa Gabbi. There are some typically poetic touches that you expect from this director, but this film needed more. Vishal Bhardwaj’s new film is set amidst covert operations in India, the US, and Bangladesh, and its title is just one adjective: Khufiya. But there’s two levels of secrecy implied […]
The film stars Mammootty, Kishore, Rony David. It proves that good, thoughtful writing can exist in hero-centric mainstream filmmaking. Masked men enter a house, commit a heinous crime, and escape. This is what a screenwriter would call the “inciting incident” of Kannur Squad. But by this point, the film has already been incited. We have already […]
