Enna Vilai

Enna Vilai

2026 · Mathrubhumi News

For all its sincerity, 'Enna Vilai' occasionally overplays its hand, and a tighter second act could have made the eventual courtroom payoff hit even harder. Still, this is a film with something to say, and it says it with conviction rather than melodrama. Karunas and Nimisha Sajayan carry it further than a shakier script might otherwise have managed.

Haiku

Haiku

2026 · Mathrubhumi News

'Haiku' is a gentle, well-meaning film that says life does not end with a breakup, and that understanding why the first love failed is the way to make the next one better. It is a fair choice for a relaxed outing, especially if you like simple love stories. Expect a decent time and not much more.
