Premlal's directorial debut 'Athmakatha' reinstates your faith in good cinema. Narrating an extremely moving tale of a dad - daughter duo, Premlal displays a remarkable mellowness in his direction that very few debutantes possess.

'Neelambari' consists of recycled ideas tied up together to create some very unconvincing melodrama. It is never particularly interesting, and truly qualifies as disposable entertainment.

There is plenty of blood, several deaths, ear splitting screams, eerie grunts, weird animals, sinister looking men and all other horror film requisites in 'Yakshiyum Njanum'. But what disappointed me the most about Vinayan's latest flick is that in spite of all this, there is no genuine scariness in it.

'Pattinte Palazhy', Rajeev Anchal's latest film, is sluggish and curiously distant. It attempts to tell a shallow tale, all the while enshrouding it under a thick mist of music.

In 'Patham Adhyayam' there is nothing much to celebrate, and the film seriously suffers from connection issues. It desperately tries to reach out to its audience, but totally fails to establish a tie with its viewers.

Shebi proves beyond doubt that his is a talent to reckon with, if you go by his first film. Like the popular ad goes, every one says 'cinema for the new generation; here is a man who has actually delivered 'cinema for the next generation'.

Manomi as a story deserved a much better treatment than the one meted out to it in Rama Ravanan. As such it appears half baked, and makes you wish on several occasions, that a bit more vitality was injected into it which could have made it a simple tale, that was well told as well.

Thaskara Lahala is as unfunny as it gets, and it could be quite embarrassing to attempt an in-depth analysis of the film. With no further ado, therefore I refuse to comment any further on the acting, the scripting or the directing.

Most of the scenarios that make up Advocate Lakshmanan: Ladies Only are crude, and the saddest thing about it is that its not even remotely as funny as it hopes to be. With the movie over, I would have been happy if there was at least a snappy one-liner that I could think of, but unfortunately that's not the case.

At the end of it, Avan is a bit overwrought and wholly fails to move you. There is nothing intriguing in it that would send your pulses racing. The excitement is minimal and so is its emotional depth.

Penpattanam isn't a boring film, but there's nothing remarkable in it that makes it particularly important. It shouldn't be labeled a film that deals with women's issues either, since there are much graver concerns that real women deal with, than a lost and found money bag.

It's sad to see such talent as that of Uravsi's being squandered on such one note characters. And it's a shame that our film makers bank merely on her comic flair instead of molding demanding characters worthy of the brilliant performer in her.
