Unmadham
2026 · New Indian Express
Although Unmadham goes beyond these tropes to traverse newer terrains, the film is still short of being consistently engaging, largely because of the writing choices.
Thudakkam
2026 · New Indian Express
Vismaya Mohanlal and Aashish Joe Antony impress in a formulaic Thudakkam
It's a Medical Miracle
2026 · Cinema Express
An intriguing premise about a man with extraordinary hearing ability lends It's A Medical Miracle a distinctive edge, before it gradually loses its way. After a point, the makers run out of ideas, resulting in a generic last hour, and the writing gets too convenient at various junctures. All we get then is a film whose real potential remains untapped or, say... unheard.
I, Nobody
2026 · New Indian Express
Prithviraj Sukumaran is anything but a ‘nobody’ in i, Nobody, which has an exciting premise and first half, but loses its plot once it aims for a larger social commentary
Bethlehem Kudumba Unit
2026 · Cinema Express
There's beauty in simplicity, and director Girish AD swears by this. He cherry-picks simple, relatable stories and grounds them with authentic performances and a warm cinematic treatment.
I'm Game
2026 · New Indian Express
With I'm Game, the young filmmaker aims really big. Bigger stars, better production values, broader themes, but the ambitious vision is spoilt by some mediocre writing and shoddy execution, resulting in a mishmash of a genre hybrid film that's stuck somewhere between a promising body-horror thriller and a template revenge drama.
Pradhama Drishtiya Kuttakkar
2026 · Cinema Express
Director Shahad crafts a compelling thriller about cops, crime, and a cover-up, with Parvathy and Vijayaraghavan in exemplary form
Aadu 3 Part 1
2026 · Cinema Express · Mar 2026
Fun and impressive in scale, but falls just short.
Ronth
2025 · New Indian Express · Jun 2025
Through two conflicting cops on patrol duty, Shahi Kabir succeeds in crafting yet another layered police story with hard-hitting socio-political commentary
Thudarum
2025 · New Indian Express · Apr 2025
Some minor flaws aside, Tharun Moorthy delivers the goods with this finely-crafted film that has the right mix of emotions and high moments
Pani
2024 · New Indian Express · Oct 2024
Director Joju promises much with this effective revenge tale.
Bougainvillea
2024 · New Indian Express · Oct 2024
Amal Neerad is among the very few filmmakers from Malayalam today who boast a signature storytelling style. With his wonderful sense of aesthetics, skillful shot composition and technical finesse, he crafts a visual spectacle that is hard to ignore. Yet, 'Bougainvillea' feels like a middling affair despite its visual appeal, with a narrative that meanders without a clear purpose.
Vaazha
2024 · New Indian Express · Aug 2024
This shallow exploration of boyhood is fun while it lasts
Bramayugam
2024 · New Indian Express · Feb 2024
Bramayugam is a terrifying folk horror film that delivers a beastly performance from Mammootty, offering audiences a rare theatrical experience in black and white cinema.
