Anbil Avan

Anbil Avan

2026 · Cinema Express

Yet, the film fails to capitalise on his rizz as it transforms into a monotonous action photoplay. These loopholes, and many more, undermine the overall intensity of the screenplay. Yet, in the end, Anbil Avan leaves us with a husband worth keeping and a film worth ghosting.

2025 · Cinema Express · Apr 2025

A deceptively light film that juggles grief, humour, and warmth in equal measure, powered by Sasikumar’s deeply humane performance and a cast that embodies the messy goodness of everyday people
