In the review for Baba Kalyani we wrote
We would have complained more about the camera man, if not for the background score by Rajamani.It is as if Shaji Kailas told Rajamani that there should not even be a single moment of silence in the movie. Due to this his background score is played constantly, like [...]

Sibi Malayil’s Flash seems to have raced itself to the bottom of the pits among the December releases. So anything better than that should be watchable according to the reviewers.

In our preview, we wrote that Rafi-Mecartin and Rajasenan have just one trick up their sleeves and they repeat it again and again. According to the reviewers, this time it is no different. It is the same comedy routine repeated ad infinitum. One of our regulars, Jibs, had noted that if Dileep did not [...]

My first exposure to a Vidyasagar melody was in 1996—the sublime saranga melody “Thankathingal” (Indraprastham). I felt a unique balance between rhythm and melody in that song and has been a Vidyasagar admirer since. Starting with his entry with the immensely popular “Vennila chandana kinnam” (Azhagiya Raavanan), Vidyasagar is a musician that can change from [...]
