After being displaced by circumstances, a three-member family living in an inland island is desperately looking for shelter. It might be an irony that filmmaker Dr Biju gives a colourful interpretation to the struggling tale of the marginalized section. Accompanied by a simple and subtle presentation, the metaphoric visuals remind us of the burning reality of survival. A blend of powerful theme and equally striking visuals. Read Review

Unfolding fully through mobile device and laptop screens, 'C U Soon' is an unprecedented format in Malayalam cinema. The portions of the actors were shot separately following social distancing norms, but C U Soon is a real-time conversational film. The basics of filmmaking and storytelling always apply, and Narayanan's film excels in both departments. Read Review

Despite its familiar theme, 'Varane Avashyamund' is infested with typical ornaments required for a feel-good experience that is consistent throughout. It is a simple and uneventful family drama with the right dose of delightful moments. Read Review

A serial killer is on the prowl in the city targeting only police officers. The clueless cops led by a female officer and a private criminologist are on the hunt for him. The path of investigation in 'Anjaam Paathira' is hardly free from flaws yet the decent attempt is engaging. Read Review

Trance is anchored by a powerful Fahadh Faasil performance. Also in the technical department, the film is exceptionally well made. Amal Neerad's career-best work as a cinematographer, Resul Pookutty's sound design, background score by Jackson Vijayan and Sushin Shyam, and most notably, Ajayan Challisery's art direction. Together with Fahadh Faasil, the technical members put in their A-game to make Trance quite a transcendent watching experience. Read Review

Zakariya Mohammed blends religion with cinema within a cinema to make a thoughtful work on love and kinship in Halal Love Story. Always engaging, and occasionally too simple to a fault, this love story is not overpowering as Zakariya's first film, Sudani from Nigeria. Nonetheless, it is a timely satire on the two things most of us feel but cannot quantify: kinship and love. Read Review
