What we then end up with in 'Baby Girl' is a film that’s no match to the classic the same team made with 'Traffic' more than a decade ago.

'Chatha Pacha' may not be a Stone Cold stunner, but works as a great tribute to a group of boys, who dared to try it at home... just like we all did

It is Nivin Pauly’s hulking presence and pointed, restrained performance that hold all the strands of genre together.

In its effort to create a film that tries to be wild, we’re left feeling like we’re watching gibberish on screen.

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.

The Malayalam film, through the story of an isolated mother-daughter unit, nudges us to look beyond the optics of social media, and for the truth

Vineeth Sreenivasan trades Kerala’s heart for Europe’s cold streets in a thriller so generic, it forgets to feel
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

Each of the film's sub-plots has been written around one broad joke, but the casting is so perfect that we’re constantly looking forward to the reactions of these actors

'Moonwalk' delivers the best kind of nostalgia, made with so much love that you can’t help but get with the beat

Anuraj Manohar’s film inverts the conventional film cop trope, and instead tells us about a reluctant cop who discovers his purpose in life at a land rights protest.

'Padakkalam' takes a few outrageous steps to give us a plot that goes beyond the basic setup-payoff pattern of most body-swap comedies.

Despite its underwhelming and predictable turns, you never doubt the inherent goodness with which the film says what it wants to.

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.
