Nanpakal Nerathu Mayakkam

Nanpakal Nerutha Mayakkam, which literally stands for ‘An Afternoon Nap’ or ‘Like An Afternoon Dream’, follows the story of a theatre group who are returning from Velankanni, Tamil Nadu back to Kerala where the leader of the group suddenly disappears, only to reappear as a different man… Read More…

Thankam

Thankam follows the story of two Gold Agents who make their way from their hometown to Mumbai until there is a murder committed. Who is the killer? The story here will actually take you by surprise. And I say this because the manner in which the drama did start to the final end of the film, it did seem like two separate films… Read More…

Iratta

Iratta is that one film wherein you don’t need to know anything about the plot except that it is an investigative drama that unfolds at a police station. The story here is unassumingly brilliant and by the end of it, it does serve a shocker!.. Read More…

Romancham

Loosely based on true events in 2007, Romancham follows the story of a group of bachelors who play the ouija board until a series of strange events that follow. The story here is a perfect premise for a horror comedy that does translate into genuine laughs and chills… Read More…

Purusha Pretham

Purusha Pretham follows the story of a cop who misplaces the corpse of a man whose family comes to claim him. Will he be able to handle this mess? The story here is a crazy comedy that plays on the situations to generate humour… Read More…

2018

Based on true events, 2018 follows the story of a group of people from different walks of life who come together to help humanity during the devastating 2018 floods of Kerala. Given that this is a recent incident, the scars in the minds of the people of the state would still be fresh… Read More…

Kannur Squad

Based on true events, Kannur Squad follows the story of members of the Kerala Police who investigate the murder of an influencial person by chasing the culprits across the country. The premise of the story isn’t novel even to the Malayalam Film Industry who had previously produced Kuttavum Shikshayum that had a similar premise which was also previously made in Tamil titled ‘Theeran’… Read More…

Kaathal - The Core

Kaathal – The Core follows the story of a retired bank employee who decides to stand for a local Panchayat election, until his wife unexpectedly files for a divorce, claiming that he is a homosexual. The story here is nuanced and almost aching to a point that its after-effects would gently linger on after the film has ended… Read More…

Falimy

Falimy follows the story of the chronicles of a family and the adventures that they face while making a trip from Kerala to Kaashi. The story here can be labeled as a ‘road movie’ but the events are supremely funny in this looney drama that had me laughing hysterically… Read More…

Neru

Neru is a legal drama that delves into the life of Sara, a blind rape victim who opts for a legal course against a powerful perpretrator while having all odds stacked against her. Will justice prevail? The story here isn’t very novel and while reading its premise, it made me wonder on why Jeethu Joseph would opt for a ‘not so novel’ idea, given that he was the flag bearer of twisted iconic trailers like Drishyam… Read More…
