Blitz (2024)
Blitz is not a war movie but on racism😩
Great Story writing there by Steve. But expected his tremendous input in directing too like in 12 years a slave!
But I am confused whether Steve projected this film on racism or war bcs somewhere he lost the plot in second half...
Was confused who is a better actor? Is it Ronan or Heffernan? Director didn't exploited the tremendous talent of Ronan.
But don't think it's an Oscar material!
The location and cinematography in those war shots in first half is simply amazing!
They say Blitz the word is about rapid bombing in war time. Still it's sad to narrate how painful war affect women and children!
My rating 5/10.
1000 Babies (2024)
A true detective style from Malayalam
Great acting by Neena, Rehman and Sanju Sivaraman's and his peak performance. The guy is my favourite with multiple mind sets. Just awesome.
"1000 Babies" is a gripping Malayalam thriller that sets a new benchmark in the genre. The series hooks you from the start, offering a binge-worthy experience that keeps you on the edge of your seat. Sanju Sivaram delivers a peak performance, with his character transformation being one of the highlights of the show. His portrayal of a complex, evolving character is commendable and showcases his acting range.
Neena Gupta also shines with a powerful and nuanced performance, adding depth to the emotional layers of the story. Rahman's stylish screen presence further elevates the series, making every scene he is in more captivating.
The central plot is unique and introduces a fresh concept that lingers in your mind long after the series ends. While there are some loopholes in the script, if you don't dive too deep into the finer details of logic, it's an engaging and enjoyable watch.
From the main cast to the junior artists, everyone has done a commendable job, adding to the overall appeal of the series. Despite a few minor flaws, 1000 Babies is a must-watch for thriller fans, setting a new standard for Malayalam thrillers.

Manorathangal (2024)
MT at his nostalgic best.
Every story in this collection is happened some decades ago in Kerala or places where Malayaleese for Ved to go for jobs of survival.
Here they all connected emotionally vibrant and alive. The story flows in a way as if the paratagonists are trying to sacrifice something of their life to the betterment of others.
Every tale depicts a painful existence of man woman relations, its narrowing difficulties and sometimes sad endings just to move on.
A Kerala of 1950s to 1990s are the best time where people to people interactions and emotional connections are at its peak. These stories dwelve into the existences of such charectors who just too good for today's world of gadgets, selfishness and unhappiness.
The new generation of mobile lovers should watch these stories several times to understand the pain in which every relation cherish or perish in the sands of time.
Mohanlal did well a chatector done by Madhu in 50s of Olavum Theeravum. Surabhi Lakshmi portrayed a cheroctor of opportunist women in those days of utter poverty!
Mammuttoty tried his best to be there though the role is very brief. Biju Menon portrayed a typical mallu eying for his ancestral property to make his Kerala hating wife happy which is the reality of mallu men who married women who born and brought up elsewhere just to Kerala and its orthodox people's way of life.
Parvathy did full justice to a struggling female who succumb to the patriarchal way of Kerala's gossip mongers and selfish relatives!
The Goat Life (2024)
A better Oscar Material from Malayalam
Beyond its performances, "The Goat Life" is a visual treat, thanks to Blessy's masterful direction and the stunning cinematography. From the rugged terrain of Najeeb's surroundings to the intimate moments shared between characters, every frame is meticulously crafted to evoke emotion and immerse viewers in the story. The film's visual aesthetic serves as a backdrop to the narrative, enhancing its impact and drawing viewers deeper into Najeeb's world.
At the heart of "The Goat Life" lies the extraordinary performance of Prithviraj Sukumaran. Known for his versatility and commitment to his craft, Sukumaran delivers a portrayal that is both nuanced and captivating. As Najeeb, he navigates through the challenges and adversities with a raw intensity that resonates long after the credits roll. Sukumaran's portrayal captures the complexities of Najeeb's character, from his resilience in the face of adversity to the vulnerability that lies beneath his stoic exterior. It is a performance that cements Sukumaran's status as one of the leading actors in Malayalam cinema and showcases his ability to inhabit a character with depth and conviction.
Complementing Sukumaran's performance is K. R. Gokul's stellar portrayal in a supporting role. Gokul brings a depth and authenticity to his character, adding layers to the narrative and enriching the overall cinematic experience. His chemistry with Sukumaran is palpable, elevating their scenes together and adding emotional weight to the story. Gokul's performance serves as a testament to the talent present in the Malayalam film industry, further contributing to the film's impact and resonance.
The Horror of Dolores Roach (2023)
Great Dark Comic Horror
A nicely done comedy in horror backgrounds
I liked the way they narrated the story in a very dramatic way with simple characters in a New York byline.
The story revolves around an unlucky lady caught up amidst drug peddlers who ended up in prison for 16 long years. Her real stifle of life start when he came out of prison.
Every actor did great jobs with a good seting. Fast paced story telling and awesome editing.
Not many charectors or boring moments. Never had desperate attempt to make it stretching unnecessarily
Every episode is awesome. Just bing watched it
Hoping for a second and third seasons.
Simply enjoyable.
Dopesick (2021)
Shocking how authority support such a danger like gun lobby!
Based on the nonfiction book Dopesick: Dealers, Doctors and the Drug Company that Addicted America by Beth Macy, DOPESICK is a deep dive into the OxyContin epidemic.
It tells its story from a number of perspectives, including some fictional characters, like a small-town doctor (Michael Keaton) and his addicted patient (Kaitlyn Dever), as well as a drug sales rep (Will Poulter). Some real-life players, such as Richard Sackler (Michael Stuhlbarg), the head of the wealthy family company Purdue Pharma -- that created OxyContin -- also have prominent roles.
Much of the narrative is explored through the work of real-life U. S. attorney Rick Mountcastle (Peter Sarsgaard) and a fictional DEA agent (Rosario Dawson) who both work tirelessly to bring the Sacklers to justice.
If you're craving a fun, lighthearted binge, this deep, layered look into America's opioid crisis certainly isn't it. While Dopesick isn't an easy watch, though, it's a wholly engrossing one you'll be compelled to stick with from start to finish.
It helps that the heavy subject matter isn't hoisted upon a single character or storyline, but rather spread across a number of narrative perspectives. An absolutely stellar cast digs into every angle of the epidemic, from OxyContin's ground zero victim and the doctor who's willingly entwined in her struggle to the crusading, do-gooding attorneys and the evil big pharma family they're trying to take down.
The series' timeline can get a bit jumbled, as it hops from 1986 to 2005 -- with plenty of stops in the intervening years -- to cover everything from the drug's creation to the ultimate judgment of its makers. But if you can keep up with its constantly moving calendar, and are prepared for some very serious, often sad drama, Dopesick is a must-watch that's worth the tears.
Oppenheimer (2023)
OPPENHEIMER HOSTORY IN PAIN
Audience in theatres in Japan cried uninterrupted while in America laughed at will yesterday while watching a 3hr 15minutes history. Two feelings amidst one earth and humanity! The sufferer and the attacker!
Others shocked and confused for years of hard work get into research and manufacturing a BOMB and USA disowning it's scientists in a cruel way of credits which must shock current generation!
Watched Oppenheimer without IMAX at Wave Noida, in the Uttarptadesh State of India, Earth. I think it's the biggest cinema hall in National Capital Territory of India!
Oppenheimer is about more than just the man, a haunted, hard-to-know figure played with impressive backbone and clarity by Cillian Murphy in a career-defining performance. It's about confluence of events that led him,who one gets the impression would have been much happier doing obscure theoretical research for rest of his life,to a point in time where his abstract ideas about structure of reality and energy changed course of human history. Movie is also about how humanity itself deals with the questions that terrible discoveries raise, and what we do with the kind of power that was unleashed by the man and his vast team of scientists at the Los Alamos lab in New Mexico. The answers are depressing and shocking.
It takes Nolan a full Three hours to get to those answers, but for a while it's not clear whether he'll get there. Oppenheimer throws so much incident and so many characters at you, particularly in its first hour or so, that it's almost bewilderingly obscure for a good chunk of its first act. It's flatly almost impossible to keep track of who's who of historical figures here, including hydrogen bomb creator Edward Teller, Nobel Prize winner Ernest Lawrence, quantum theorist Niels Bohr and physicist Richard Feynman among many others.
We also meet the two major women in Oppenheimer's life: psychiatrist and Communist activist, Jean Tatlock (Florence Pugh), and Oppenheimer's eventual wife Kitty (Emily Blunt), neither of whom do much, although Blunt gets a rousing scene in support of her man near the film's end.
Nolan's masterful skills at cross cutting, building of tension,interplay of music&sound,maximum use of IMAX 70mm compositions he and cinematographer Hoyte van Hoytema deploy all come to fore during this central portion of film, creating a genuine sense of dread and urgency. Nolan's conception of actual, successful detonation of Trinity bomb in New Mexico desert is almost understated in both its terrible beauty&fearsome power, we only get indirect hints at the unspeakable aftermath of dropping of the bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki through Oppenheimer's eyes!
What we do get in the final act of the movie is not just clear indication that we as a species are simply not equipped to handle the most powerful force yet discovered in nature but the destruction of the man who speaks out most fervently against its continued use.
Oppenheimer himself, so frightened by his own creation, so rattled by its nightmarish potential, that he begins seeing horrific visions even as he uses his now high public profile to speak out passionately for a global ban on nuclear weapons.
This Film is magnificent production, score by Ludwig Göransson is majestic& and intimate its almost feeling like a Greek chorus with each scene is spectacular. Nolan's cast also deserves kudos. Pugh and Blunt bravely work with what they've got, wringing empathy out of underwritten female characters, while Damon is reliable as always, others like Hartnett make most out of characters we don't get a lot of time to know.
Amazing Nolan can use 70mm film format for mostly medium shots or close-ups of people talking&yet still make it seem epic.
Murphy presents Oppenheimer himself as a genius who lives inside his own head much of time,commanding leader. A man deeply wounded by hurt of others, yet also remote&businesslike,a man who loves his country yet is willing to risk his own reputation for greater good of humanity.
Last but not least Robert Downey Jr. Should walk away with an Oscar for his work as Lewis Strauss. Made up to look older&discarding nearly all tics that we've come to know from a decade of playing Tony Stark, Downey shows us why, although he was never less than great as Iron Man.
Whether the generation that grew up with Downey as the leader of the MCU will go see this difficult, dense, and challenging movie,a film that's polar opposite of a "summer tentpole" is another question entirely.
Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One (2023)
Best Action Scenes Executed to Perfection👍🏻
Scintillating action project ever made in Hollywood so far. A pack of four adrenaline rushed sequences made an epic action flick by Tom Cruise with his age daring physical fitness.
Tom is acting and supervising everything in the action sets to perfection with an expenditure of $280 million for stunts alone!
When you settled that this action scene must be the peak moment of the movie then there comes another one! Wow!
Gods bless all the extras and the time taken to shot the action sequences thousands of times to get such a marvellous product.
Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One, as suggested by that ominous "part one," seems to care a bit more about its plot, and it's not hard to see why. This time, Cruise's Ethan Hunt isn't fighting nihilistic terrorists or vaporous international-espionage networks but an all-powerful artificial intelligence known as "the Entity" that has instant access to any and all online networks and can effectively dupe the world's tech-reliant militaries into fighting one another. It's a variation on the man-versus-machine theme that Cruise and McQuarrie pursued in last year's Top Gun: Maverick and a rather compelling metaphor for their well-publicized dedication to old-school action film-making and real-life stunt work. It also happens to resonate with our current moment: You can easily imagine the Entity standing in for any number of modern society's (and modern cinema's) high-tech bogeymen, from dead-eyed disrupters to algorithm-obsessed visionaries.
There's an Easter-eggy quality to much of Dead Reckoning, but McQuarrie & Co. Escalate matters effectively. Alec Baldwin's Alan Hunley once memorably called Ethan Hunt "the living manifestation of destiny"; this time, Shea Whigham's Jasper Briggs, (yet) an(other) intelligence agent tasked with bringing Hunt in, describes him as "a mind-reading, shape-shifting incarnation of chaos." Everybody is set in their usual roles. Rebecca Ferguson's Ilsa Faust is once again a cross between love interest and mysterious outsider, a rogue spy who has to save Ethan and be saved by him at key moments. Vanessa Kirby returns as the White Widow, an arms dealer who plays all sides. Among the latest additions to the main cast, Esai Morales brings an impressively chilly hauteur to Gabriel, a death-obsessed terrorist working for the Entity. Hayley Atwell's Grace, a professional thief who winds up entangled in the attempt to retrieve two halves of a mysterious key that everybody's after, makes for an energetic audience surrogate, and she and Cruise have excellent chemistry. It's also hard at times to tell if Grace was just in the wrong place at the wrong time or if there's more to her. A number of these characters seem like they'll get their true moment in the sun in part two.
Within the context of the film, the stunt (and our awareness of its approach) also works as a clever bit of distraction. So much time is spent setting up the motorcycle jump that we might start to think that's going to be the climax of the movie. But what comes afterward - an extended train sequence that culminates in what might be the most hair-raising derailment ever put to film, full of seesawing train cars and dangling movie stars - is even more unforgettable. That is, in many ways, the enduring charm of all these films: They feel like magic tricks, built as they are on anticipation, familiarity, misdirection, and spectacle. Whenever it gets down to the business of making Tom Cruise run and jump and drive and fly in and out of things, Dead Reckoning manages to astonish.
Hridayam (2022)
Nostalgic!!
Watched HRIDAYAM yesterday risking Covid in PVR nearby! A cute movie. Music is awesome. All 15 songs are souls stirring. Memories of college days and even school days came back. I think PRANAV's best movie. Darshana and Kalyani did awesome work. High on Emotion.(don't CRY)
I think ladies acted better than their male counterpart. It may be a reason being a fan of Mohanlal there is an automatic tendency to like the acting of his son too. But he tried well. And full mark to Vineet Srinivasan and the music. One song even sung by Raju also good!!
Go for it if you want to live your college days.
Mr. Mercedes (2017)
Mr. Mercedes Namaste!
First words first. I am a big fan of Stephen King and his writings. Why the screen adaptation of Kings's books like with The Outsider, Shining , The Mist series are not handled by the likes of directors of Fargo or True Detectives or Breaking Bad or even Ozark. Heard they can afford such great directors! Why?
The Outsider is done in a very sleepy style though Ben Mendelssohn and Cynthia Erivo performed in a great way.
Typing about Mercedes, the 1st season is well acted, well directed and the cinematography is awesome. I think from the 2nd season Stephen King stopped coming to the sets! Is that so team?
Yes Mercedes is well crafted than any other Stephen King works. The fatness of Brendan Gleason is adequately fit into a typical lethargically looking police officer. Also the pain of being an unnatural entity in the society is amazingly handled by Breeda Wool as Lou. Full marks to Justine Lupe as Holly for being that dark mode unstable entity with a touch of painfully stigma. I liked the way she handled the scenes in 1st season more than other two seasons. She was so natural there when she was a teenager although she is not so bad in other two seasons.
And finally about Harry Treadaway. Wonder Brady came before Jason? What a great cruel acting by Brady. Some scenes are too scary when Barry is around. Avoid watching it in lonely nights. You will be pissed of with nightmares. Go for it if you are hardcore King fan! Also thanks to Jack Bender who did shine as a better director than other drams of great Stephen King.
Go for it and be scare the hell out....
Madhuram (2021)
Rare love story
Good to watch Joju in a romantic role with grace. I should say they portrayed the hospital scenes of the pain of waiting for the already admitted patience for a long time ago n so called government hospitals. This is why I am a big fan of Malayalam cinema these days. They go into minute details like an A grade Hollywood movie. Also I can say Malayalam cinema got the best talent in India. Bollywood please tap them to be in the OTT race otherwise you will be gone for a sixer in coming days with philanthropy opposing artists in Bollywood.
The storyline and the editing made me awestruck! The romance is new and touching at times. Go for it for a good time.
Joseph (2018)
Best of Joju George
I feel this one is extracted Joju's talent at its best. Even though I am very late in giving my words on this it made me compare two movies of him. One is Madhuram and this one.
Madhuram being a live story this one rested on Joju's shoulders for a better result. He lived the character with its complete sensitivity. A wise story and well directed. The research team did an amazing job on police investigation.
Putham Pudhu Kaalai: Vidiyaadha (2022)
The Lock Down saga
Well made. All the five stories are nicely portrayed by all actors. The one with Joju and Nadia is the best. So is one story with Lakshmi and the one with police.
These type of stories we expect after watching too much OTT. There is more talent in India than anywhere else . This one is on that attempt. Our wishes and congrats for such future endorsements for the team. The 1st series too became a household name in Indian OTT.
Keep it up the team.
83 (2021)
Flop movie of 2021
Kindly Avoid this one. You can even watch Pushpa. Ranvir Singh utterly failed to portray the real Kapil Dev. See, if you are a fan of both Kapil and Ranvir you may say this is a good movie. But not me. Ranvir completely failed to portray the icon Kapil. We all there alive witnessing India lift World Cup in 1983. Still gets the goosebumps. But after watching this s***t movie I remember 1983 a nightmare. What a FAIL Ranvir.
Godsake Pls watch some of Netflix or Prime or Hotstar or SonyLiv and learn some acting. The Iranian or Argentinian movies and their acting talents on legends are far far better.
Kindly avoid doing such project to maintain the grace of living legends like Kapil Dev or any such celebrities. Yes the director forced the Producer to spend crores of money on this but it's a big FAIL. And we are not scape goats to recover the production money.
I had so much expectations on you Ranvir after watching Ram Leela and Gullyboy.
Decoupled (2021)
Humorously Engaging.
The institution of marriage if you call it in modern times with a serious monotone is still a very confused even in everybody's life. Some of modern day humans comically engage in life with a so called wedding and calamities aftermath.
This film gracefully portrays a nucleus family with great fun and unending strife for happiness if you call it all are after. The puch lines by lead actors along with funny inputs from Chetan Bhagat is so awesomely directed by Manu Joseph.
I must watch it one more time to analyse the deep impact of comic dialogues delivered by Madhavan, Surveen Chawla, Sonia Rathee, Dilnaz Irani, Darren E. Scott, and Shrutee Choudhary and many more like Chetan Bhagat himself.
With how things ended in the first season, there's definitely room for a second season. But has Netflix given the green light for a season 2?
The French Dispatch of the Liberty, Kansas Evening Sun (2021)
Classic modern movie
These types of films I was always dreamt of for a long long time. What made this movie more amazing is it's editing and all that art work other than the scintillating performance by all actors especially Benicio, Adrien, Francis. Tilda and Timothee.
The film is made of three discrete stories, each based on a feature article by one of the magazine's star writers, plus a brief scene-setting travelogue that digs into the insalubrious corners of the town of Ennui-sur-Blasé - is that it's almost inevitably uneven. And however engaging the film's final story is - the most satisfying by no small margin; a food review turned heist thriller narrated by and starring Jeffrey Wright at his most mellifluous and charming - patience will be sorely tried by the segment that comes before it.
The fictionalized New Yorker is called The French Dispatch, published out of a little French town called Ennui-sur-Blasé, although it started in Liberty, Kansas, where editor Arthur Howitzer, Jr. (Bill Murray) was born and raised. (In one of the many "A-ha" moments of trivia sprinkled throughout: the magazine was originally called Picnic. Playwright William Inge, most famous for his 1953 play Picnic, was born in Independence, Kansas. Liberty, Independence, get it? None of this means anything, but it's fun if you pick up on it.) Howitzer is surrounded by a loyal staff overseeing a collective of eccentric writers, all busy at work completing pieces for the upcoming issue. "The French Dispatch" doesn't delve into these characters' lives but instead focuses on their work, and the movie's structure is that of an issue of the magazine, where you literally step into the pages, and "read" three separate stories. But first, there is the Jacques-Tati-style opening sequence, clearly a riff on The New Yorker staple, "The Talk of the Town," with Herbsaint Sazerac (Owen Wilson, jaunty in a black beret and turtleneck) bicycling through Ennui-sur-Blasé, showing us the sights (and speaking directly to the camera, causing some unfortunate collisions).
Minnal Murali (2021)
First great Indian super movie!
Tovino and Govind made it a great project with good action sequences
Now, Kerala has delivered India's first great superhero movie. With Basil Joseph's new Malayalam film Minnal Murali, streaming on Netflix, India has finally cracked the superhero formula.
The semi-rural setting, where nobody's aware of the concept of a superhero, gives Minnal Murali a fable-like quality. This fantasy is heightened by the absence of any clear sign of the time in which the film is set. There are no mobile phonesA television appears early in the film to help set up the film's premise, but the broad attempt is to create a time and space enclosed from most markers of modernity, which is a superb idea.
Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021)
Oh SpiderMan our hero
What a visual treat man.
For me at least this is the best spider man movie ever! Remember we grown up watching spider man cartoons since we were kids. That real life hero live with us till our stay on planet earth.
I think Spider Man is the most loveable super hero in all of Avegers franchise. Marvel should contribute some of the money earned for philanthropy for the child education and other things!
Pushpa: The Rise - Part 1 (2021)
If you are an illiterate this movie will amaze you!
This is the longest movie I ever watched without any substance in it. It would had been reduced to just 1hr 45mins instead of the marathon 3hrs. That 1hr 15mins is just crap like a Bollywood D class film.
Positive thing about the movie is the acting in part by Allu Arjun. Action is top notch so are the dance numbers. The location is just awesome. The part with Fahad Fazil is most amazing. We can expect more of him in PartII.
Other than the longest duration it had the dialogues cracking in some places. Some charectors are just there to increase the numbers without any acting skills. The lead lady looked promising in some scenes but overall she too succumbed to the talentless directing.
Seems like the assistant directors did the 70% of job.
Go for it if you are an hard core fan of Allu Argun.
Watched it in Telugu without any English subtitles though PVR promised an English subtitles but refused👎🏻
The Power of the Dog (2021)
A sad classic Oscar material
As The Power of The Dog already selected for 7 nominations in the Golden Globes it is going to grab some Academy Awards next year.
This is an exquisitely crafted film, its unhurried rhythms continually shifting as plangent notes of melancholy, solitude, torment, jealousy and resentment surface. Director Jane Campion is in full control of her material, digging deep into the turbulent inner life of each of her characters with unerring subtlety.
It's a man's silent cry for love, caring and attention in these little walks of life. In those early 19th century being gay is a painful act!
Watch it for the amazing act by Benedictine Cumberbatch, Kirsten Dunst, Jesse Plemons and Kodi Smit-McPhee.
I predict at least an Oscar for best movie of 2021.
La casa de papel (2017)
All time hit like BB,Soprano or Friends
It has class though in Spanish. Liked the action sequence the casting and the locations. The writers and directors painstakingly created a world of intelligent thieves led by an amazing leadership. Never missed an episode the day it telecasted .
A big thump up to Netflix and it's money power to create such amazing series like Breaking Bad or Narcos.
You have to watch it to feel it man...
96 (2018)
Reunion Love
An epic portrayal of school life and it's aftermath spilling over so many people's life for many years of our life span. It's cinematography is marvellous being a great live story of the 90s!! The direction is so well done that you never feel a single moment of boredom. Vijay did a great job of being a shy person. Overall a great experience of nostalgia at its sad bast👍🏻👍🏻
Jai Bhim (2021)
Bheem is Hollywood class!!!
This one movie and it's depiction of violent scenes have it's own style. Originality at its best. Careful actions. The full mark goes to the stunt co-ordination and action director. So authentic unlike 99% of Indian movies.
Amazing to watch Indian talents like in Tamil and Malayalam cinema creating wonders.
Bheem is a story of a man's conviction of saving the troubled poor legally whether degraded on the face of casteism or being utter poor exploited by might cast system. Mind you here it's not the Brahmin community but other casts in OBC class who created havoc on poorest of poor. The narration of the movies exposes the cast system of any kind exploiting just below the people of their level. Their real story is narrated in a very big canvas!
Kurup (2021)
Kurup is stretched
Kurup is classy. Kurup is tremendously cinematic rather a true story. Kurup is worth the wait. Kurup is fine with me though I avoid regional movies. Not a documentary style of story telling as some of the fans anticipated. The first half would have been reduced by 25 mins. Second portion is fast paced, well directed and acted by all nicely.
Only one glitch. If you ask me how to pronounce Cheriyanad it will be 'Chernaad' and majority of the locals and family call it "Chernaad" and not Cheriyanad as the writer/director stuck with correct written pronunciation which is not natural. Some sequences in Air Force part is exaggerated and ill conceived.
Also the head of the investigative officers did a tremendous job of trying to nab the real culprit. Then in 1984 till 2005 was a well known figure of the family which the director or the research team is missing or they refused to show it in the film.
There is a scope for a sequel and I call it Alaxander!
So many characters missing. Neither detail about Suresh Kurup who is brother of GK nor the whereabouts of GK's family (wife& kids) after the incident is missing!!
DQ did a tremendous job as a producer and main actor so is Shine who was depicted more of a villain than GK of real story.
Also the murder, investigation and subsequent media frenzy on the family took place when we were just 16. That's almost 38 years ago.
Go and watch it if you missed theatre for two long years👍🏻🙏🏻
Celluloid (2013)
Like an old classic.
They tried Daniels real life in 1928 to catch in celluloid. Again this time Vinu Abraham's novel celluloided by Kamal without leaving the seriousness of the writers portrayal of one of Malayalam films's troubled actor's real life story. A man's tireless journey of only living life in movies and it's turbulence of difficulties in personal as well as societal discouraging fabrics. I think Prithviraj Sukumaran did an excellent acting as well as he followed the director's unending trysts for perfection. Those days film artists are not accepted as in today's ways of fan's craziness. The protagonist being succumbed to life's inabilities of financial constraints tried to came out darkness of frustration in times.
The Director and writer lead the film to be a hit.
Also the cinematography by Venu Isc is outstanding. A real watchable film👍
