Aviyal Is A Nice Coming-Of-Age Story Until It Arjun-Reddies Itself Up

  • Posted on April 7, 2022April 18, 2022
  • by Vishal Menon
It is this same authenticity and a lived-in feel that goes completely missing when the film shifts to Goa for Krishnan’s “sex, drugs and rock and roll” phase. The film loses its clarity and it plummets headfirst into a series of clichés that cannot escape the Arjun Reddy imagery.

  • by Baradwaj Rangan
With Loners, I think Halitha Shameem breaks through to the next level and I think this film signifies the arrival of a major writer-director

BR Review: Madhuram Is A Set Of Love Stories As Sweet As The Title

  • Posted on January 1, 2022December 30, 2021
  • by Baradwaj Rangan
The film is so evenly made, without getting too sugary or sentimental, and that is the secret of the movie’s success.

Madhuram Movie Review: A Moving Deep-Dive Into Three Love Stories

  • Posted on December 24, 2021December 26, 2021
  • by Vishal Menon
Written broadly as the story of three couples from three generations, the film is strongest when it’s a lecture series on true love as it gets passed down from one generation to the next.

  • Posted on July 23, 2021

Malik: When Power, Politics And Relationships Intersect

  • Posted on July 19, 2021
  • by Pritha Mukherji
Malik is more than just an epic crime film. It is a story of friendships turned sour, of greed and its impact on humanity, and most importantly, of morality and practicality.
