#Identity is like a buffet spread of a wide range of half-cooked dishes, with the best set aside for the next meal. But more often than not, one perfectly cooked dish is all it takes to satiate hunger.. cinemaexpress.com/malayalam/revi…

"Today's audiences are much more evolved and familiar with international content, but they are only a section in the big cities," says #Identity editor #ChamanChakko to Vignesh Madhu cinemaexpress.com/malayalam/inte…

Was wondering how a film like #Rekhachithram so rooted in Malayalam cinema nostalgia would get remade, but it's happening. A tad too late, but here's a detailed chat with director Jofin about all things Rekhachithram. cinemaexpress.com/malayalam/inte…

Spoke with Antony Varghese briefly about his career and his flair for action.. cinemaexpress.com/malayalam/inte…

"#LoveUnderConstruction is a breezy watch, even when the stakes soar up gradually with each new episode," writes Vignesh Madhu while also describing it as "a fitting example of right intentions meeting the right execution" cinemaexpress.com/malayalam/revi…

In an exclusive chat with CE, composer #HeshamAbdulWahab has confirmed his next project with #AnoopMenon and #Mohanlal. He told Vignesh Madhu that the film will offer much "scope for experimenting as it will explore several facets of Indian music" cinemaexpress.com/malayalam/news…

Spoke to #MuraliGopy about #L2Empuraan, the L franchise, Stephen Nedumbally, KA... cinemaexpress.com/malayalam/inte…

#EmpuraanReview | A grand spectacle let down by some disjointed ideas, 'Empuraan' dazzles visually but lacks the intrigue and well-developed character arcs that worked wonders for Lucifer. 🔗rb.gy/x1foel ✍️Vignesh Madhu

"There are some ambitious ideas scattered around, but they aren't cohesive enough to create intrigue. Moreover, the writing around how the gaming elements and investigation angle are intertwined is too basic," writes Vignesh Madhu in his #Bazooka review cinemaexpress.com/malayalam/revi…

Interviewed Tharun Moorthy for Thudarum. He spoke about resisting his fanboy temptations, why he constantly tries to keep expectations in check, the much-hyped promo song and of course, Mohanlal. cinemaexpress.com/malayalam/inte…

#Thudarum Had goosebumps for a Mohanlal film after god knows how many years. This is the ideal 'fanboy sambhavam' cinemaexpress.com/malayalam/revi…

"Despite its minor flaws, Thamar KV's sophomore film is a thought-provoking take on ADHD and parenting," writes Vignesh Madhu in his review of #Sarkeet cinemaexpress.com/malayalam/revi…

"#PrinceAndFamily has #Dileep operating neatly in his strong suit of family drama, but all that is squandered when the film starts to address social issues," writes Vignesh Madhu in his review cinemaexpress.com/malayalam/revi…

Social justice cinema is a genre unto itself, which Tamil cinema has been acing quite well lately. In Malayalam, though, the movement is yet to flourish properly. #Narivetta could have been a bold step in that direction but it merely scratches the surface cinemaexpress.com/malayalam/revi…

"#Ronth stands a cut above the typical buddy cop film with its hard-hitting socio-political commentary. Director Shahi Kabir, who has a strange affinity for dark endings, ensures he, once again, leaves the viewers heavyhearted," writes Vignesh Madhu cinemaexpress.com/malayalam/revi…

REAL OG. 🔥 Badass elevation for the GOAT! #Mohanlal
