Just like Anoop Sathyan, Akhil Sathyan also uses a modern version of their father Sathyan Anthikkad's genre of quintessential Malayalam feel-good movie. It's pleasant, heartfelt and has some drama that is forced upon the movie but the charm of the whole movie and the actors makes us forgive it. Still, this movie indulges a bit too much in those things and goes on longer than needed. Nevertheless, a very pleasant watch indeed. And Hamsadhwani is just ❤

How the hell is this considered a classic? I like surreal experimental films and animes. I don't mind when it's bizzare or even incohrrent as long as it got a point. Now this anime is bizzare and it does got a point but it is also disgusting and gives so many wrong messages. This must be the kind of anime that makes many people hate anime, over sexualized girls all over being extremely teasing with nonsensical plot and visuals. The sad thing is the creativity behind this anime is huge with amazing animation and so many creative ways (even though silly) to showcase the symbolisms. The story is about the coming of age story of Naota and everything else is his sexual growth it's problems and the woman involved. Now the anime is already pretty nonsensical with the other story arc of the alien girl who uses this boy as portal to bring robots to use them against an alien corporation. But the problem is this non coherent anime got only one thing that makes sense to everyone, it's about how a 12 year old boy is manipulated and used by 3 girls among them 2 older girls and one of them adult, along with a horny father in the house it's always about sex. A sex comedy about a 12 year old boy is not ok. It's ok to show a 12 year olds sexuality and sexual awakening, it's even ok if it is sometimes comical but this show is just atrocious in that aspect. The boy is completely manipulated by girls. At the beginning he's manipulated by the 17 year old girl who was his brother's ex girlfriend and she uses him for her pleasures even if it's not so extreme. Then the alien girl comes and starts manipulating him and he totally falls for it, even at the ending when he could have been better off he's still not out of it. In the middle of the anime the whole sex and death thing with the father is too weird and even after that the boy falls for that girl. All these problems are secondary because it's almost impossible to figure out all this. The biggest problem is while figuring out what's happening one would assume to get something out of it but not something so disgusting, disturbing and appalling. The amount of phallic symbols used in this and the use of cultural references for sexual awakening would be enough to think they aren't symbols anymore. It's almost like pro pedophile.

This is just an amateur video on a sci-fi narrative of global warming inspired by Hitchcock's Birds. It is a crime to call this an actual film.

It's sad when subject matters that are important in the concerned societies are taken and treated with such laziness. Not having all the usual Tamil commercial masala mixed in it is commendable but whatever shown in the film still looks overused in the industry. The acting all around is just average to ok and nothing more and Jyothika isn't convincing enough as the tough cop. The film feels too rushed from the script to execution and ends up very forgettable.

The film almost fails at every level but to be fair the budget cut made the film a whole lot different from what was planned. Referencing various films from the 60s and 70s and the skull shirt etc all have gone to waste. Sure, it's better than 1989 version but still not even close to being good. The skull shirt didn't suit this film which plays out as a generic action film at all while it wasn't used in the 1989 version where it could have gone well with that film's tone.

Hatheway, Streep, Blunt and Tucci are fantastic in this very entertaining film about the fashion industry perfectly portraying its relevance in our society along with its obvious stupidity of existence.

Parvathy and Irrfan are fabulous. The story is simple but intriguing even though the script hasn't utilised all the possibilities and have rather left some gaps that can be filled. Overall an entertaining romantic comedy that has nothing much new to offer where the lead pair makes it a pleasant watch.

Rewatching, this time the despecialized version. The first time I was disappointed because it didn't live up to my expectations given by the hype of fanatics who follow Star Wars with religious frenzy. Now that I see for what it is, it's a fun movie that set the standards for blockbusters although not even close to being one of the greatest film ever as the fans claim it is.
