I, Nobody
2026 · OnManorama
Prithviraj Sukumaran, Parvathy's 'I, Nobody' sets out to be an extraordinary tale, falls short. Nissam Basheer's 'I, Nobody' offers a grounded family drama with strong performances, but ultimately falters in its payoff and resolution.
Maranamass
2025 · OnManorama
Overall, 'Maranamass' stays true to what it promised through its trailer - a quirky, chaotic film that can keep you engaged till the end. The film, despite its quirkiness, does not forget the basic emotions of love and attachment that are weaved in at the most unexpected moments, delivering the film a balance.
Thudarum
2025 · OnManorama
Thudarum is indeed a 'Splendor'—an evergreen machine that still rules Indian roads, just like 'A10'. While many filmmakers attempt to ride entirely on Mohanlal's stardom, 'Thudarum' comes as a breath of fresh air. Overall, 'Thudarum' is undoubtedly a vintage Mohanlal show.
Kalamkaval
2025 · OnManorama
Mammootty's turn is quietly devastating. He embodies the film's darkness not as a cartoonish boogeyman, but as a chilling, plausible presence. As a cinematic experience, it delivers a dark, measured, and unnerving output that could prove one of the more haunting thrillers in Malayalam cinema this year.
Rekhachithram
2025 · OnManorama
'Rekhachithram' is an overall experiment, treading on a path that many filmmakers, including veterans, have not dared to do in the past. The film is definitely bound to be a nostalgic ride for cinema buffs as the makers lavishly throw in big names from the 1980s into the movie, and it is intense and engaging at the same time.
Abraham Ozler
2024 · OnManorama
The initial feeling of repetitiveness affects the thrills in the first half. However, true to the expression "to end with a bang," Midhun employs the right tactics in the second half to provide viewers with a more than satisfactory conclusion. Mammootty's appearance in 'Ozler' is definitely the best part of the movie.
King of Kotha
2023 · OnManorama
With 'King of Kotha,' Abhilash Joshiy has shown he is quite capable of handling action without compromising too much on quality content. 'King of Kotha' is not just a mass flick, but a film that does have an interesting storyline. Though the film gets a little predictable towards the end, the filmmakers have tried to steer clear from sticking to the old formula of mass action films.
Prakambanam
2026 · OnManorama · Jan 2026
'Prakambanam' is a debut film by Vijesh Panathur that blends horror and comedy, focusing on the adventurous and mischievous lives of college hostel.
Mirage
2025 · OnManorama · Sep 2025
Overall, Mirage works as an engaging watch, with Jeethu delivering his trademark twists. But the burden of expectations and a tendency to overplay surprises hold the film back from becoming truly memorable.
Antony
2023 · OnManorama · Dec 2023
Though the film does progress quite smoothly, writer Rajesh Varma and director Joshiy's efforts to focus on all the characters individually affect the filmmaking. This element stretches the film, making the narrative tiresome after some point. However, the performances of the actors overcome these shortcomings and manage to offer viewers a decent viewing experience.
Kaathal - The Core
2023 · OnManorama · Nov 2023
Jeo Baby, in his own masterful way, manages to keep the movie going, with few flaws. The scriptwriters Adarsh Sukumaran and Paulson Skaria deserve kudos for their mature handling of a sensitive subject. Mathews Pulickan's music is the biggest highlight of the film, and the performances of the actors are impressive, with Mammootty owning every single frame.
Garudan
2023 · OnManorama · Nov 2023
Biju Menon and Suresh Gopi are excellent in their roles as Nishanth and Harish, respectively. Though the screenplay moves ahead smoothly, there are some pitfalls too. The second half seems rushed, affecting the climax a bit. Nevertheless, the movie offers a lot of interesting twists that keep the audience engaged.
Kannur Squad
2023 · OnManorama · Sep 2023
In 'Kannur Squad' too, it is the performance of the lead star and his gang that lead the movie forward. The screenplay by Muhammed Shafi and Rony David has potential but doesn't attempt to break new ground, which affects the film in places. However, Roby Varghese Raj skillfully masks this with good execution.
2018
2023 · OnManorama · May 2023
Jude Anthany Joseph's '2018: Everyone is a Hero' is a well-balanced film that will leave you satisfied, and keep you engaged till the end. The story of grit and survival during the 2018 floods is a touching tribute to the superheroes of those times, especially the fisherfolk who worked tirelessly to keep Kerala afloat.
Thunivu
2023 · OnManorama · Jan 2023
The first half of the film is definitely more enjoyable, as 'Thunivu' gets too stretched thereafter and concludes predictably. The twists and turns in 'Thunivu' ensure the film is engaging. However, the drawback is the treatment and the plot's failure to strike a balance.
