Top Indian Movies of 2021

  Karnan A movie that is visually beautiful and socially impactful is one best adaptation of Indian mythology. Karnan shed light on the hardship the unprivileged group has to face in society but this time with some commercial touch to it. The film is full of symbols which for shadows the events which happen later in the movie. In this film not just the humans become the character’s but from a snail to the mountains are part of the story make this movie a unique experience.   Minnal Murali To make a superhero movie that suits Kerala culture is not an easy job. The tight screenplay of this film makes it a good story even if we take out the superhero elements. It has some issues in some technical accepts but all of it is outshined by the intent narrative that keeps us engaged and gives us the story that the director wants us to tell.   Nayattu I don’t know why I love films but this film is a summary bad and corrupted our system is and the marginal society get a...

Rise of a New Hero !!!

 

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 his powers are captured brilliantly by him. It Guru Somasundara as the villain steals show make things tough for the hero. There are laugh-out-loud moments in the movie which blend nicely into the narrative. Minnal Murali takes its time to develop the characters and story. This is also an emotion heavy movie which makes it stand out on its own apart from being a superhero film.

 

Minnal Murali is a pure attempt to make our own superhero and I think the best way make it happen is to tell the tale that suits the Indian setting. Please don’t compare it with Hollywood movies because with its budget it has the makers have done a good job. Minnal Murali showed us that the superhero genre is more than just visual effects and CGI and also, we Indians no need to depend on Marvel and DC. Hopefully, we can see more movies in this franchise become our own small cinematic universe, and see the next movie in this world on the big screen.

Favourites comic characters from childhood that needs a movie or a series

Mayavi This is a comic which is running since 1984. Mayavi is a fairy or can be termed as something like a genie in Aladin who was found by two kids named Raju and Radha and they became lifelong friends. The story doesn't stop there Mayavi is hunted by Witches named Kuttusan and Dakini along with their apprentice who is another fairy Luttapi.  The entire comic is about their adventures that take place in this world. These characters and huge fanbase and everyone would happy to see a well adapted Mayavi show or a movie. Rather than a kids-friendly adaptation serious take on it will be interesting. A Stranger Things kind of vibe will be perfect for Mayavi. I am waiting for a Netflix or byAmazon-produced Mayavi movie or series. Jambanum Thumbanum Jamban and Thumban is an Iconic duo in Balarama Magazine. Jamban is an investigation officer and Jamban is its assistant dog who has a device set to him that makes him talk and think like humans. The plot is set up for fun buddy cop comedy. T...

The Green Knight Review

  The Green Knight Review The Green Knight is a slow-burn fantasy movie that has a deep story. I am not a big fan of slow movies which have inner meanings to them, that doesn’t mean I hate these m movies but they are not my first preference, still, there are a few slow movies which I like. The Green Knight has stunning visuals which should be enjoyed on the big screen and maybe this is the reason I didn’t enjoy the movie that much. The Green night is not a bad film but it was for me. Apart from the visuals the another positive of the movie is Dev Patel’s performance he is convincing in his role. One thing about the movies is that protagonist is not a typical hero person even though he seeks redemption as a hero at the end still not so perfect heroes are rare in these types of movies.    The story of The Green Knight is very interesting some ideas shared can be explored more.  The movie is also a character study of a person who wants to achieve something and to h...

Doctor Movie Review

Image
  Doctor starring Siva Karthikeyan is a complete entertainer which also has some flaws. The director Nelson knows how to make an engaging movie from start to end. Well, the movie has its cringe moments especially and the second which prevents it from being from a perfect film. Some sequences are hard to believe which breaks the reality the movie is set in. The protagonist doctor is an interesting character but felt he should have flushed out more and we need a sequel to know more about him. That is another problem I have with the film rest characters were just there and we never connect with all of them. The villain did not feel dangerous with the hype given to him he was like a typical bad guy. I felt distracted when the movies started with romantic but that was where the movie was heading, the story starts from there. The plot of the movie was a surprise because the movie was titled Doctor, I thought the movie will be about the medical field. The two and a half-run time shoved ju...
