Vinayakan is surely the film’s driving force, but Mammootty also shows us a side to him that we haven’t yet witnessed before

Written and directed by Sivaranjini, 'Victoria' is a moving drama, peppered with humour.

Despite the detours, 'Ithiri Neram' leaves you feeling both the pleasures of returning to a dreamlike moment in the past and the pain that only long-lost love can make you feel, albeit for a little while.

The horrors of Rahul Sadasivan’s work go beyond jump scares and camera tricks, taking you to places in your head you never wanted to go to.

Asif Ali stars in a Jeethu Joseph film that’s surprisingly devoid of thrills.

Kathir and Hakim Shah's complex characters deserved a better film.

It’s not just the film’s dated making and clunky dialogues that give you the feeling of watching a 30-year-old movie. It’s by design that it wants to take you back to a time when Suresh Gopi was a legit superstar

Directed by Tharun Moorthy, the film hit theatres on April 25, 2025, and has been receiving overwhelmingly positive reviews from both critics and audiences.

It may not be all that it promised to be, but with solid performances from Prakash Varma playing the relentless villain, and the many nostalgic versions of Mohanlal, 'Thudarum' is an enjoyable mix of massy action and rooted drama.

The slice-of-life dramedy comes across as a modern take on the age-old problems of every middle-class man and the not-so-classy people he’s surrounded by.
