"Romancham" (goosebumps) is a film so funny that it will have you rolling on the floor, laughing. It is an incomplete film, or a prequel, that works mainly based on moments of sheer improvisation. Perhaps Romancham II will give us the goosebumps that the title promises. Read Review

In Thankam, director Saheed Arafath and writer Syam Pushkaran offer an engaging police procedural that plays out as an investigation film. The movie is about the ins and outs of gold dealing in Thrissur. What works best here is the authenticity in the treatment of its characters. Read Review

The writing in Iratta is a mixed bag, but the acting and plot are so good that the film is consistently fascinating. There is a big twist in the plot and an even better piece of narration that give a new dimension to the twin characters and the title of the film. Read Review
Jackson Bazaar Youth (MALAYALAM)
Indrans , Lukman , Chinnu Chandni Jaffer Idukki

The makers of Jackson Bazaar Youth take a refreshingly novel approach to telling a familiar story. They recognize that law enforcement is all too powerful for a gang of oppressed men. At some point, we expect all hell to break loose, but things do not always pan out as we expect. Read Review
Purusha Pretham (MALAYALAM)
Prashanth Alexander , Darshana Rajendran , Jagadish Sreejith Babu
Director: Krishand

Purusha Pretham makes fun of the notion that cops are brave and masculine. It often works as a tight slap on male ego, while reminding us that cops can be emotional fools. The writers recognize this and use humor to deliver the film's big ideas. Read Review
Madanolsavam (MALAYALAM)
Suraj Venjaramoodu , Babu Antony , Rajesh Madhavan Sudhi Koppa

'Madanolsavam' is not as sure-footed as a political satire as it is as a piece of situational comedy. But the comedy is so good that it alone makes up for the minor flaws of the film. The laughs come at breakneck speed, and the actors have incredible comic timing. Read Review
Pranaya Vilasam (MALAYALAM)
Arjun Asokan , Anaswara Rajan , Mamitha Baiju Hakkim Shah

It is refreshing to see a film where people are OK about their loved ones meeting their exes. Some movies may use this scenario to create some sort of domestic tension, but Pranaya Vilasam veers more towards the feel-good category. Read Review
Kirkkan (MALAYALAM)
Anarkali Marikar , Salim Kumar , Kani Kusruthi Maqbool Salmaan

'Kirkkan' is an oddly-narrated investigative thriller about the death of a girl unraveling a social issue. Amid the familiarity of the premise, the bizarre treatment enables the film to sustain its engaging status. Read Review
Corona Papers (MALAYALAM)

For a Priyadarshan film, Corona Papers is very intense. Despite some plot holes and contrivances, the movie works as Priyadarshan never allows the pace to dip a lot and draws some strong performances, especially from the likes of Siddique. Read Review

'Pachuvum Athbutha Vilakkum' is a meandering film with some cliches and a lengthy running time. It keeps introducing a new subplot within the already-existing story even in the second and third quarters. Nevertheless, some good performances make it just about watchable. Read Review

Vincy Aloshious and Unni Lalu are brilliant in this gonzo thriller from Jithin Issac Thomas. Some viewers may be put off by its gratuitous use of violence, but others will appreciate the movie for what it is. Read Review

Hamza writes engaging scenes and draws outstanding performances from the actors. There is a lovely scene where Ameen tells Haala that he does not know whether she prefers black coffee or black tea in the morning. It is a nice role reversal. Read Review

Thrishanku has a novel premise, some really funny scenes, and an array of eccentric performances. The film loses a bit of steam towards the end, but it works as a situational comedy for the most. Read Review

Critic Rating:
User Rating:
A revolution is like war in that it is never fought alone. This means Thuramukham is not a call-to-action in the same way that a film like Padavettu is. The film powerfully captures the first stirrings of pent-up anger against the Chappa system in Kochi. Read Review
Padmini (MALAYALAM)

'Padmini' relates the dilemma of a poet and college lecturer whose marriage lands him in a soup. The comedy drama has a smooth acceleration before breaking down due to slipshod writing and execution. Read Review
