ReviewIrshad Parari, making his debut as writer-director, has a cute idea of a story, but it gets stretched too far and snaps.Ayalvaashi begins well – animated drawings, the kind children would create, forming the visuals of the opening credits, and setting the background of the film. The opening is enjoyable too, with an engagement party in the house, young women dancing, and seniors in the family walking helter-skelter arranging everything. You make out the main characters from the opening animation – three male friends who grew up together, and their families. But just as you are about to warm up to the narrative, the film slips through many holes in the script and hardly ever finds itself back on its feet.

ControversyThe actor who is from Kannur was speaking about weddings in her hometown during a promotional interview for her film ‘Ayalvaashi’.Nikhila Vimal / FacebookA comment made by Malayalam actor Nikhila Vimal during the promotions of her new film Ayalvaashi has led to a discussion on social media. Nikhila said that for Muslim weddings in Malabar, women used to eat in the kitchen area, and that the practice does not seem to have changed much even now. Nikhila was answering a question about weddings of an earlier time. Some social media users, who took offence at Nikhila's comment, have criticised her for it. Nikhila, who is from Kannur, made some interesting observations of weddings in her hometown, including the practice of addressing the son-in-law of the house as 'puyyapla' -- meaning new bridegroom -- however old he gets. Nikhila, answering a question, spoke about attending marriage functions in the homes of her friends while in college,...

ReviewThe film has nothing new to say that its predecessors didn’t, and the making doesn’t help it stand out in any way.Still from the filmIn the introduction of Dhyan Sreenivasan’s character in Higuita, he plays football with a bunch of kids, failing to stop an easy goal. He is shown as this naïve young man, afraid of everything. You imagine that the film will be about his transition, turning into a Higuita-like player, given the title. But through the entire film -- another clichéd narrative around Kannur politics -- Dhyan plays an unreadable character, mostly a silent observer of what goes on around him. It is Suraj Venjaramood, playing a tall leader of the Left, who Higuita revolves around.

ReviewDirector Tharun Moorthy, who previously gave us 'Operation Java', now presents a story that puts an adamant and adorable old woman in its centre.CrisSome punch lines actually work. Despite the helping of music in the background, the camera looking sideways at two men holding onto a rail, it does not feel dramatic when one man says to the other, “Didn’t you ask me if this is all humans are? This is how much humans are.” Saudi Vellakka is a sweet film, risking a lot by putting an adamant and adorable old woman to lead the game. Devi Varma, playing this character, is something of a novelty, her almost plain expressions conveying much. But then again, the film comes from Tharun Moorthy, a director who does not seem to believe in relying on market strategies that are supposed to bring success.

ReviewGrace Antony and Sreenath Bhasi give wonderful performances in this film about a ruffian, which, though well-scripted, does not leave a lasting impression.CrisScreengrab/YoutubeKariya is not a good man. The lingering hope that there might be an ounce of sympathy in him, the goodness of heart that some people say he has, is lost the moment you hear him climb up the stairs to a house and beat up a man for not paying his debts while a woman and a baby cry loudly. The introduction to Kariya’s character happens in the first few minutes of Chattambi (meaning rowdy), a film that novelly has Sreenath Bhasi in the title role. He is the chattambi, the ruffian who means terror, beating people up, showing no remorse. Bhasi, who has been seen in myriad roles from playful friend to problematic sibling to random weirdo, unsurprisingly takes on the role of Kariya with charming ease.

And whatever little time is left between each thallu – precious few minutes if you count – is so loud and colourful you might be lost in a Marvel comic book.

ReviewThere are some marvellous performances from the actors, Saiju Kurup, Priyanka Nair and Kottayam Ramesh in particular.CrisThis much was clear from the trailer: Antakshari will be a thriller, will be scary, and will have some fun elements because there is a policeman in it who likes to play Antakshari all the time. Antakshari is a game of music where a player sings a song and the next player has to sing one that begins with the last letter of the first song. The fun is however short-lived, and horror takes over, as the game itself becomes a scary experience, and many parallel stories seem to be told. But what began really well appears to lose focus, leaving too many loose ends, despite some marvellous performances from the actors: Saiju Kurup, Priyanka Nair and Kottayam Ramesh in particular. Director Vipin Das sets the tone of the film in the very beginning.

ReviewThe film is a good old chase, with a dogged policeman who’s after a crafty criminal. In fact, it felt very much like Dulquer of 'Salute' chasing after Dulquer of 'Kurup'. Sowmya RajendranA film where the hero plays the role of a police officer is usually cue for bombastic action scenes glorifying the power of the khaki uniform, with several sequences justifying custodial violence and extrajudicial killings. Dulquer Salmaan’s Salute, directed by Rosshan Andrrews and written by Bobby-Sanjay, stands out in this respect. The thriller is centered around a policeman whose conscience comes in the way of doing what is necessary to keep his job. The film begins with Aravind Karunakaran (Dulquer Salmaan), an Si who is on long leave, going to a police station to get the details of a case that he had investigated three years ago.
