If 'Kinavalli' can grab your full attention with a horror fantasy tale, it's purely due to its perfect package and fresh treatment. Sans any banal horror elements, this film is engaging and gripping. Notable performances of newcomers also strengthen the narration.

'Ente Mezhuthiri Athazhangal' showcases the romantic musings of a hero. Romance blossoms in a different way yet Anoop Menon's script is not free from the trite routes. Even in the absence of a striking passionate writing, the premise of the tale is an advantage for the plot. It stands tall aesthetically piping the content of the romance.

Family-action drama 'Maradona' has revenge, romance and repentance except the essence to generate the required punch and thrill. This mediocre hide-and-seek game is full of familiar filmic components. Moreover, the director fails to revive the initial hype he creates, resulting in the sloppy conclusion of the tale.

Despite its slipshod making, 'Savari' survives solely due to the impressive performance by Suraj Venjaramoodu. The eponymous character helps extend the lifeline of the plot by trying to overcome the tedious narration.

'Oru Pazhaya Bomb Kadha' has an old-fashioned package with insipid situations and lacklustre humour. The combination of mismatch elements fails to give a convincing and engaging tale, making it enjoyable only in parts.

The horror of war is powerfully conveyed in 'Bhayanakam' through the pangs of the generation of yore. The visual brilliance and stupendous direction makes it one of the most admiring films that stand out simply for its unique creation.

'Koode' is a family drama with an inappropriate blend of fantasy and reality. The fantasy element dominates the narration of the heart-warming relation between a brother and a sister while the impact of real incidents conveys only skin-deep experience.

If you ignore the tottering tale, the tentacles of this 'Neerali' are strong enough to offer consistent gripping moments. The much-awaited suspense leaves you panting for more though Mohanlal hogs the limelight with his smart performance. It could have been a better survival thriller had the creative wings attained more supremacy.

Portrayal of a real life character in 'Theetta Rappai,' who has a peculiar disorder, is a botched up attempt and deeply dull. This film turns out to be plotless and formless as not enough has been done on the script.

'My Story' certainly has the elements of the run-of-the-mill romantic dramas. Notably, Prithviraj and Parvathy act as the cornerstones of the plot. The film drums up ample support from its lead pairs and the scenic locales of Portugal, covering up the thin layer of intensity in the romance.

High on performances and low on content, the story of four youngsters in 'Pettilambattra' only creates a mixed feeling. The template is similar to the flicks that narrate the pulse and life of a local place. It's not worthy to watch the acts of unruly youths instead of enjoying a substantial plot.

The well-wrought format of 'Abrhaminte Santhathikal' has been exclusively woven for a hero, who finds solutions on the sly. The filmic grandeur is dominant to aid the protagonist than bringing conviction in the treatment. This action thriller has minimal exaggeration but there is clear gap between logic and onscreen events.
