  The superhero genre is something the Indian film industry is trying to crack. There have been solid attempts on this famous genre in cinema but most of them didn’t get the recognition they deserve apart from Krish. For a superhero movie to be hit in India there should be something unique in it that makes not only the fans of the superhero genre but those who don’t like this genre as well. Well, Mollywood’s very own superhero movie Minnal Murali is more than a superhero movie that everyone can enjoy. The character arch of both Villain and Hero is written well in the movie and the story is all about how these two discover their powers and what motivations lead them to become who they are in the movie. Minnal Murali has got iconic shots and also hilarious characters that help in world-building. The movie has some flaws but it is not fair to point out all of them there will never be a perfect film. Tovino Thomas as the hero is perfect in the role his innocence and his discovering...

  After one year break Marvel Cinematic Universe is now rocking again in the box office but this year it is not just the movies MCU has given to the fans this year they also took the root of the web series format. The new series line of the MCU allowed it to tell stories in formats that they have not told before because they don’t have to worry about the box office numbers. MCU has given five shows this year which further extended the already extending cinematic universe. Hawk-Eye which is the final show in the series line of the Marvel cinematic universe took the path of a Christmas adventure format. The show focuses on Clint Barton (Hawk Eye) who has been sidelined in most of his outing in the MCU and the show also introduces Kate Bishop who will be the new Hawk-Eye in the MCU. Hawk-Eye also introduces new characters and sheds light on the underworld which has been existing in the MCU. What I like about the show is the chemistry between Jeremy Renner and Hailee Steinfeld who pl...

  Warner Bros is on a spree of making sequels and remakes beloved franchises this year well Tom and Jerry and Space Jam a New Legacy were disappointments, I feared Matrix Resurrections will be a cheese cash grabber capitalizing on the nostalgia of the original Matrix trilogy. It is such a relief that Matrix Resurrections never felt like a cash grabber it has a heart tries movie on itself. What made the original Matrix o great was it was unique there was nothing like that came out at that time. So after almost twenty years, it is not easy for another entry for the franchise to great as its predecessor. This is what Matrix Resurrections failed to achieve. It is not a bad film it has its moments and payoffs to the franchise but wow factor. Every movie in a franchise doesn’t need to be a standout but it should have something that will stay with viewers and this is what this movie lacks. Coming to other positives this is an entertaining film and it has cool action sequences and what I...

It is tough to film to live up to expectations but Spider-Man No Way Home is a movie that lives up to the hype it was generating ever since the first trailer of the movie showed back in August. There is always a blind thought that superhero movies are cheap tricks and predictable. Well most of the MCU has shown that superhero movies are more than that and the new Spidey movie shows superhero movies are just more than a gimmick. This movie is a perfect blender of emotions and action. It is not an easy task to blend characters from previous Spider Man movies in the MCU and it should also be more than just fan service and Now Way Home Showed these characters earned their spot in this film. I never knew I would get the same theatre experience after Endgame during this post-pandemic era but today fans showed that it will take more than a pandemic to stop them from enjoying this film because there are plenty of goosebumps moments in the movie that will make you go crazy. When it comes ...

  I know this late to give an opinion on this movie, to be frank, I really enjoyed the movie those who say this movie is slow and lag I will be with you. Yes, it is not great it could have been much but still this solid historical film movie moves in pace and historical movie demands. The rise and fall of Marakkar are captured well. Marakkar is portrayed as a normal human being he makes mistakes as well which I really liked. Yes, there are some unwanted plot points even without them the story would work. The movie has cringe dialogue but that is not the reason troll the movie. Battle scenes in the ship and fort were short well. I don’t get the point comparing it with Odiyan and Mamangam is not fair. The criticism of saying the scene is copied from Hollywood movies is not valid this constantly occurring phenomenon and most of the Hollywood movies are inspired from Japanese and another language.   This story could have worked better if it is a two-part movie or a web se...

    Since the last year of the Pandemic era, the show Money Heist has become a global phenomenon. The first half of the final season is a heartbreaking cliffhanger wondering the audience what would happen next. To be honest, I am not a huge fan of the whole gold part of the series. It was unnecessary and some character death seemed like a cheap trick to get emotionally invested in the show but the first two parts of the fifth season have won me over. The plus point of Money Heist is that all five seasons were fast-paced which never bore the audience. Coming from Spain the series has a unique style to it. When it comes to the fifth season the story has a nonlinear pattern and the second story in the series felt unnecessary but it paid off in the end. The story is also an extension of this universe; it shows the previous life of the characters and how they ended up in the heist of the Bank of Spain.   Well, this is the season where the side characters also go to Shine Gandi...
