ReviewDirector Tharun Moorthy, who previously gave us 'Operation Java', now presents a story that puts an adamant and adorable old woman in its centre.CrisSome punch lines actually work. Despite the helping of music in the background, the camera looking sideways at two men holding onto a rail, it does not feel dramatic when one man says to the other, “Didn’t you ask me if this is all humans are? This is how much humans are.” Saudi Vellakka is a sweet film, risking a lot by putting an adamant and adorable old woman to lead the game. Devi Varma, playing this character, is something of a novelty, her almost plain expressions conveying much. But then again, the film comes from Tharun Moorthy, a director who does not seem to believe in relying on market strategies that are supposed to bring success. He gave us Operation Java, a marked debut,...

Known for its humanistic scripts, diverse roles and thought-provoking approach to filmmaking, Malayalam cinema has created a new wave in the Ott streaming services since the pandemic. Expanding its regional library with meaningful content on India’s 73rd Republic Day, ZEE5 Global premiered Asif Ali and Rajisha Vijayan starrer Ellam Sheriyakum as well as Aaha, starring Indrajith Sukumaran and Santhy Balachandran, on January 26, 2022.
Helmed by ace director Jibu Jacob, Ellam Sheriyakum is a war of genres – romance, a political thriller, family drama – all rolled into one. While the film’s plot focuses on interfaith marriage and differing political views, it phenomenally makes the political satire non-ideological, with a balanced outlook on family. This film is the fourth directorial release of Jibu Jacob. His previous three films – Vellimoonga, Munthirivallikal Thalirkkumbo and Vattamesha Sammelanam, were also family dramas built against the backdrop of politics.
Meanwhile, Aaha directed by Bibin Paul Samuel is a sports drama,...
