Adios Amigo (2024)
An exciting plot ultimately ruined by its length and predictable screenplay.
The two-and-a-half-hour runtime of this movie felt excessively long, as it stretched out a single plot without introducing any other exciting scenarios. Several unnecessary scenes inside the bus during the first half could have easily been trimmed. The first half was little too lengthy which made me bored even before the first half.
The performances of the asif and suraj were engaging, but the excessive duration and repetition made it frustrating. Some of the humor landed well, while most of them fell flat. They might thought that, "Bosse" will be new trending thing but I feel irritated when I hear that now. Overall, it was a below-average experience and didn't work for me as well.
Level Cross (2024)
A psychological thriller bringing a completely fresh experience to Mollywood.
*Levelcross,* starring Asif Ali, Amala Paul, and Sharafudheen, directed by Arfaz Ayub, offers a completely new experience in Mollywood with a storyline full of twists and turns. The film provides a decent amount of thrilling moments without spoon-feeding the audience, making viewers actively engage their brains to solve the puzzle. Asif Ali's portrayal of his character is remarkable, maintaining a consistent performance from start to finish. However, Amala Paul's performance felt somewhat boring in the middle, and Sharafudheen delivered an average performance. Arfaz Ayub's direction was different and new, and I appreciated his unique approach.
On the downside, the set design felt artificial in many places, which detracted from the movie's overall realism. Despite these flaws, *Levelcross* is a decent one-time watch with a lot of new experiences for the audience. The film's unique approach to storytelling and its engaging plot twists make it worth watching, even if there are areas where it could have been better.
Golam (2024)
Intense Thriller with Superb Direction and Strong Performances
The story of the movie begins with the opening title itself. During the opening credits, they portray each character and their surroundings. Each character in the movie has their own significance. I like the storyline; it seems like a normal death at first, but then the ASP officer enters the scene and the way he handles the situation is awesome. A big shoutout to Ranjith Sanjeev (Mike fame); he is a pure example of how an actor can perform under the proper guidance of a brilliant director. The way he solves the puzzle of the crime is so good. It was thrilling to watch as well. In the end, each of the scenes is interconnected, and the way it is portrayed on screen is nothing but brilliant direction. Samjad, the director, you have a long way to go, man. The special thing about the end of this movie is that there is obviously a second part, but they have multiple options to go into it. There are different stories to hit on for the second part. Also, a lot of newbie actors and actresses have been given opportunities in this movie, and none of them failed on screen. Each of them delivered a good performance. Movies like this should be promoted instead of the false promotions happening on social media currently. Golam was silent before its release but is now getting enough appreciation. Go watch it in theatres; it is value for money.
Mandakini (2024)
Waste of money & waste of time !!!
Two hours of complete irritation. From the beginning to the end, each character on the screen made me irritated at least once. I just want to mention that Jaffar Idukki made me feel like leaving the theatre without completing the movie. So much irrelevant content was put together to make the movie. The second half of the movie was so, so boring since there was no hook for the viewers to concentrate on. The story itself doesn't have anything interesting. There are a couple of so-called mass sequences for Altaf's mother's character, where they put up a mass background score, and those scenes literally made me laugh.
Thalavan (2024)
A perfect crime thriller!
Jis joy has proved he is not only for the feel good movies, he can deal with thrillers as well. From the start to the end, the movie is very engaging and we will keep searching for that culprit. He gives us various of suspects throughout the movie. I want to mention his casting, which is brilliant and each of them perform upto the mark. This is a comeback of Asif ali, after couple of failures recently. The golden combo of Biju Menon and Asif Ali's once again proved what they are capable of. At the end, I felt like would have better if they chose someone else as the culprit. Felt like the motive behind the murder is not strong enough. But it's not too bad. After all it's a good crime thriller I have watched after a while. I recommend you to watch it in theatres, I guarantee you, you won't disappoint.
Turbo (2024)
A below-average script was converted into a mass masala entertainer by Vyshak.
Surely another hit for Mammootty in 2024. It's unbelievable that someone at the age of 72 can perform such fight sequences throughout the movie without making any scene boring. Hats off to you, Mammookka. From start to end, the movie is completely dedicated to action. Sometimes, I felt like the action was unnecessarily placed just to maintain the movie's pace. The story is just a cliché, but director Vyshak gives it another dimension. As usual, cliché scenes and twists are part of the movie, which is a bit of a turn-off. The cinematographer, Vishnu Sharma, plays a vital role in making this such an impactful action film with his skills, especially the chase scene in the second half. Cristo Xavier's BGM throughout the movie provides a fresh take on action background scores. Bindu Panikkar's role is the origin of many comedy sequences, but throughout the movie, it was predictable, so there was no thrilling experience. Also, I felt like actor Raj B. Shetty was not used to his actual potential. If you are a mass masala movie lover, hey lads, this movie is for you.
Guruvayoor Ambalanadayil (2024)
Fun to watch, but it slows down in the middle.
A fun entertainer by Vipin Das, where Basil and Prithvi peak in their comedy combo on screen. The plot itself is funny, so from the beginning onwards, the theatre started laughing. The main attraction of the movie is the music and background music, especially when they use old songs as the background, which syncs with the shots so smoothly. Vipin's reference game is strong, especially the Drishyam reference, the Nandanam reference, and that Kalyanam invitation shot of Prithvi. There are only a few songs in the movie, but each of them blends seamlessly into the core of the movie. After Amar Akbar Anthony, this is the movie that made me laugh for Prithvi's comedy sequences, even though some scenes didn't quite hit the mark. The combination scenes of Siju Sunny and Safboy also worked for me; their screen presence always excited me throughout the movie. I would like to add Joemon's epic performance as well. However, the Yogi Babu scene didn't work for me personally. I was laughing out loud for about 60% of the movie, but after that, it didn't go as smoothly. After all, it's a great watch in the theatre if you enjoy comedy entertainers.
Nadikar (2024)
An entertaining escape, but not a blockbuster sensation.
I like the plot of the movie, which is cinema inside cinema, and we have witnessed such films before, but this is slightly different. I see a lot of resemblances to multiple movies like "Thallumala," "Driving Licence," "Saroj Kumar," and "Udayananutharam." Since the movie deals with a superstar sensation and their lifestyle, they successfully portrayed it on screen. The first half of the movie is very engaging; I liked it. A shout out to Ekta, the costume designer of the movie. She has done a brilliant job. There are a couple of scenes that went below average in the first half, especially Ganapathi's scene. I felt like he couldn't pull off the character. Talking about Bhavana's character, it was neutral, which didn't give any impact to the movie. In the climax of the movie, they were trying to communicate an emotional story between real and reel characters, which didn't work out for me personally. If they had switched the climax to something else, it would have been much better. You won't regret watching this in theaters.
Malayalee from India (2024)
Another disaster from Nivin
The first half of the movie is filled with combination scenes between Dhyan and Nivin, along with a lot of unnecessary political content that left me frustrated. I don't get what Anaswara Rajan's role significance the movie. When it comes to the second half, the movie deal with the a malayali outside india. Try to include a lot of emotional connect between an indian and pakistani. A sentimental drama they have tried to portray in the second half eventually made the audience numb with their feelings. It's surprising that the same writer and director of "Jana-Gana-Mana" created this movie. Personally, I found myself eagerly awaiting the interval during the first half and wishing for the movie to end during the interval. I wouldn't recommend watching this in theaters, but ultimately, the choice is yours.
Varshangalkku Shesham (2024)
Not the best from Vineeth !!!
The movie tells the story of two friends in the film industry, facing challenges and conflicts early on. I found most parts of the movie dull, especially the second half, except for a few scenes. The song "Nyabagam" is the heart of the film; they played it many times, but it remained enjoyable. Kudos to Amrit for the fantastic composition. Dhyan's acting was good. Kalyana is becoming a crunch queen and Pranav's transformation into an old person was funny. However, the storyline didn't meet my expectation. Nivin pauly scenes reminds me love action drama and vadakkan selfies nivin's mix, I personally didn't like it as well.
Aavesham (2024)
Oru fafa ayinjattam
The first half of the movie lived up to the hype, offering complete entertainment, but the second half fell short in comparison. While some emotional sequences didn't work for me, the comedic moments were well-executed. Jithu Madhavan's frames were have his own mass, and the music perfectly complemented each scene by Susin. I want you guys to watch Fafa's performance in theaters. Jithu Madhavan seems to have another hit on his hands after Romancham, showcasing the talent of yet another promising director in the Malayalam industry. I would like to add those three debutants, who is the central character of the movie. They done an amazing job as well.
The Goat Life (2024)
A blessly movie
A Blessy movie. First of all, I'm not a big fan of slow-paced movies, and this movie didn't fully satisfy me as well. In the first half, I just loved the combination of scenes between Prithviraj and Amala Paul. In the second half of the movie, I was amazed by the transformation put in by Prithvi. I bow down to his dedication towards the work. The emotion didn't convey through the conversation between Gokul and Prithvi since it sounded like something outside the movie. There are certain scenes from the movie that are just wow. Since it is a realistic movie, I felt it was more like a cinematic one, which is also a drawback. I recommend watching this movie in the theatre itself; otherwise, you'll finish the 3-hour movie in 1 hour 😐.
