Varshangalkku Shesham (2024)
A decent feel good entertainer
I didn't start the movie with much expectations. But as the movie progressed I was having that urge to watch it in one go with out a break. That itself is a sign of a good movie. I don't understand people's hate towards this movie. The timing of its release affected a great deal to its popularity. It is quite different from others. Well we can call it a movie with old guys but not exactly "old"old. It all depends on the viewers perspective wether to embrace it or not. This is a flexible movie. As usual Vineeth portrayed the greatness of friendship through this movie. I nwlever thought Dhyan could pull off such a character. Some scenes of pranav seemed cringe. But we can't totally blame it on him. He is not cut out for film industry. We all know Vineeth and his obsession with Madras. Well Madras can only be the best location to portray a movie based on movie industry and artists and their struggles. Coming to the cinematography, it was pretty good. They tried to bring a bit of light note to the movie which didn't click much. But still a pleasant movie. Yeah that would have been the apt title for this.
Cobra (2022)
A complicated flop
The movie started off in a good manner giving vibes of an interesting thriller, but with the beginning of the second half the hopes come to an end. The storyline is unnecessarily complicated and totally unreasonable and illogical in many situations. Vikram didn't deserve this, as he had given his best performance as usual, with perfection, but the direction and storyline failed his dedication. But some supporting characters were very irritating. Those who watched the movie might have understood who I meant. Coming to the bgm some were good, but it could have been better. It was a struggle to finish the movie and the ending made it even more unbearable. Not worth for even a single watch. It tried to create something but ended up being a failure at every moment.
Guruvayoor Ambalanadayil (2024)
An overhyped movie
Everybody will watch this movie because of the vast casting done with the leading actors of present malayalam cinema. But it is far below of the general expectations. I thought this will be a fun and entertaining movie but this ended up with lame jokes and poorly written characters. Basil Joseph and Anaswara did a good job with their respective roles but Prithviraj's character was a joke. Nikhila vimal tried to express something but all her expressions whether confusion or joy seemed similar. She performed far below her capabilities. The movie also seemed to have characters stuffed here and there which lacked significance. It doesn't have that natural flow of jokes which we see in entertaining movies, but the jokes are deliberately designed and ofcourse boring. I think the director forgot to add some parts !😅. Coming to the music, it was totally misplaced. Some songs tried to create the waves ,but failed to do so. But keeping apart the logics, it can be called a good one time watch movie. It will be a good theatre experience with family.
Joe (2023)
A one time watch usual romantic movie
The movie Joe is just like any other romantic Tamil movies with the same cliche topics which we have seen a lot. There is nothing new. We might even be able to see it's similarities with some other movies in tamil and especially malayalam. The lead is a Tamil guy and his first love a kerala girl. This gives the Premam movies vibe. The story line is normal paced but the end has a twist in it. But they could have ended the movie in a better way by adding a little more details. Just like any other Tamil movies in the olden days, the hero here is shown as a HERO..! His good deeds in the movie are a bit too overbearing that we lose the reality in some instances. The actors portrayed the character in the best way possible and it is evident. If there are any flaws in the movie it's definitely due to the old and outdated storyline. But the movie has very good music and frames. Just a one time watchable.
Laapataa Ladies (2023)
A heartwarming movie
Laapta Ladies is very different from the usual Bollywood movies as it is adorned with very down to earth characters who stays close to our heart. It is a simple but thought provoking movie where we ponder over the systems and customs prevalent in India. The movie starts with the depiction of a remote Indian village and the story revolves around such people and their life. The director has taken such great efforts to convey their lifestyle and thoughts to us, even through the minute details. The loopholes and difficulties prevalent in the law and order system of the country is also depicted on a light note. Moreover the movie is about love, unwavering hope and trust. The cinematography of the movie is great and hats off to that. Many emotions are bundled in a set of characters and each one will hold a place in our heart. With this movie thankfully, Bollywood might be reviving!
A must watch for every movie enthusiast.
Abraham Ozler (2024)
An unconventional thriller
Abraham ozler is quite different from other investigation thriller but it lacked the punch of a thriller as a whole. The movie to be frank cannot be called a thriller but just a mystery or drama. Considering the popularity it gained it is a clear disappointment. The casting is not that appreciative. The supporting characters seemed to be misplaced. Mammooka has been his best in the movie as usual. But Jayaram's acting especially at the initial stages of the movie was not that great. The casting which showed the past timeline was really good.
Coming to the story line, it was slow paced and lacked suspense. It was so dramatic and thus cannot be considered a pure thriller. But Maybe they wanted to come up with an unconventional thriller. Cinematography was not that great either.
The movie is only worth a single watch and is very loosely written. It was struggling to keep up the pace in general.
The ending also disappointed but it probably should be a hint to the upcoming part. They could have ended the story in one go without going for a second part. Hope the second part would be interesting.
Anweshippin Kandethum (2024)
A Decent Investigation Thriller
The movie started off in a usual manner, just as we see in other investigation thrillers. The movie had mainly two investigations and both were very gripping murder mysteries. At the initial stages some dialogues felt as cliche and boring. But throughout the movie it was able to keep the expectations of the viewers very high and they were able to fulfill it in a decent manner. For a usual investigation thriller fan it might not seem with lot of twists and unexpected events. Some were predictable. This movie just had than one weak point. But overall it is a great one time watch movie. And Tovino playing the lead has performed his best as he always does. Some supporting caste also has done a great job. Towards the end it didn't seem that satisfactory. But after all cinemas nowadays heavy rely on realistic portrayals. So such an ending was justifiable. But overall a great watching experience. Do watch it!
A Ranjith Cinema (2023)
An utter disappointment
The movie showed how bad a comparatively good storyline can be executed. The movie started of as the portrayal of a middle class movie enthusiast who fell in love, with all those usual cliche situations which makes it cringe right from the beginning. Within the first few minutes we might get the tendency to stop continuing. By the intermission it tries to pick up the pace with some unforseen events but stills ends up as an utter disaster. The protagonist is depicted as a clear dummy who just keeps on doing some nonsense just for the storyline to carry on. It irritates the viewers. They tried to deliver something big but all the combinations were too unprofessional. Somehow reached the end and the ending illuminated the failure even more. Better don't watch it and waste your time.
