Kalamkaval
2025 · Times Of India
Ultimately, 'Kalamkaval' is a film elevated by its lead actors and its atmospheric world, even if the storytelling occasionally falters. It remains a watch for Mammootty’s enigmatic presence and the unsettling psychological duel at its core.
Kishkindha Kaandam
2024 · Times Of India
The screenplay cleverly offers clues that keep viewers intrigued, revealing key details gradually.
Anweshippin Kandethum
2024 · Times Of India
In conclusion, while "Anveshippin Kandethum" offers a gripping narrative and compelling performances, it prompts reflection on the recurring theme of crimes against women in Malayalam cinema thrillers.
Iratta
2023 · Times Of India
Iratta is a movie that draws you in, steals your breath and leaves you with pain. The filmmaker has skillfully crafted a thriller that has multiple layers which unravels as the movie progresses, with Joju George delivering a brilliant performance in his dual role.
Ayyappanum Koshiyum
2020 · Times Of India
Sachy, the writer and director of the three-hour-long movie, smartly scripts a story that explains the struggles of an honest police officer who values humanity above everything and how he transforms a rich, spoiled brat and brings him to down to reality. Though we have films such as Driving Licence and Vikram Vedha, it is good to see a commercial movie portray contemporary, socio-political situations, be it Maoism or struggles of the subaltern.

Nevertheless, the film fails to engage as the characters lack depth. This crime thriller isn't the best of director Priyadarshan.
