In 2021, Manu finally gets out of prison, straight into the pandemic. He’s got nothing to his name except the memory of Priya and the one cassette with her voice recording on it. With the help of one of his prison mates, he sets out to make a new life, even though he’s still very much swimming in the sea which is his love for Priya. Immediately, Side B starts off with a bang, and there’s no time wasted as we dive straight into Manu’s new story. Although Manu is stuck on Priya and wants to rekindle his lost love with her, there’s a new woman in his life, Surabhi. Side A was the calm before the storm, whereas the 2023 film, Sapta Sagaradaache Ello—Side B is the storm itself. The film is much faster in pace than the first one, but contrary to my expectations...

ReviewHemanth M Rao's Sapta Sagaradaache Ello (Side A), as an experience, is incredibly engaging because it has the rare capacity to draw you into its world, specifically at its own pace.In Hemanth M Rao's Sapta Sagaradaache Ello (Side A), more than the spoken word, it's the metaphors and fierce juxtapositions that do all the talking. It starts with the title which refers to a Rumi-esque mystical place beyond the seven seas, where forlorn lovers can meet. But interestingly, the film is set nowhere near the sea, but in the thick of urban chaos where lovers battle to bring their modest dreams to life. Manu (Rakshit Shetty) and Priya (Rukmini Vasanth), the said lovers, picture a life together that's away from the hustle and smile at the prospects of that daydream. The irony, though, is that in every real attempt they make towards realising it, they inch further and further away from it.

EntertainmentThis is by no means an exhaustive list and is only a starter pack! Tnm StaffMahesh Narayanan's C U Soon, released directly on Amazon Prime Video, has been getting rave reviews from viewers. Of special significance is the fact that the film was shot in under 20 days with an iPhone camera and the entire story is told through screens. These factors have piqued the curiosity of viewers and as a consequence, the film has attracted several people who may not have watched a south Indian — let alone Malayalam — film before this. Even film critics who don't usually review south Indian films have been lavish in their praise of C U Soon. Although there are four big film industries in the south, Indian cinema is often equated to Bollywood. Among those who haven't watched south Indian films, there exists a perception that "down south", the films made are all loud, unrealistic and grossly exaggerated.
