ReviewDirector Antony Sony gets his casting right with a script that involves many interesting characters.CrisThe film is titled Priyan Ottathilanu – literally, Priyan is on the run -- and it suits it well. But it also might have been Paavam Paavam Priyan or Nanma Niranjavan Priyan – take-offs from earlier film titles, also apt to describe Priyan. He is full of nanma – goodness – and he is fully paavam – too nice. He would definitely know all these films by heart, such is his love for cinema. But how he tries to reach that dream world, while he runs for just about everyone circling his life is the story of Priyan, short for Priyadarshan. The film is, as expected, quite pleasing, quite the ‘feel-good’ type, but also a little tiresome as all the helpfulness gets to you after a point. The film begins with little Priyan standing on a village path, in school uniform,...

TVThe show, which premiered on December 14, 2015, chronicles the daily humdrum lives of a middle-income family.Neelima MenonIn the times of binge-worthy dramas and sitcoms flooding all streaming platforms, the redundancy of television content has repeatedly become a matter of debate. The last time we saw a scene from a dreadful soap opera was most likely because it had been frozen into a hilarious meme. Uppum Mulakum (initial episodes directed by Unnikrishnan and now Satheesh) appears as an outlier then, persisting for a whole 1000-episode run--four full years--on primetime cable television. In one of the earlier episodes, Balachandran Thampi (Biju Sopanam) has brought himself a second-hand Maruti car with the money his wife Neelima (Nisha Sarang) has lent him and it turns out that the car isn’t working properly. After a round of verbal thrashing from Neelu, Balu enters their home with guilt. The miffed children and Neelu angrily call him out.

ReviewA supposed-to-be-thriller, the mystery element seems forced in this movie that has Aju Varghese playing a broker who spends time with a mysterious woman. CrisIf it were not for the changing background music or the quick close-ups, you might forget that Kamala is meant to be a thriller. The mystery seems forced and the suspense doesn't make you wait with bated breath as it unfolds. Ranjith Sankar’s new film is a watchable one, nothing more, nothing less. Aju Varghese is not the funny sidekick or the annoying antagonist you are used to seeing, but the hero of the film. He plays the well-dressed, gadget-carrying broker called Zafar, who, in his very first shot, drives away a mini cooper and gives the impression of someone who likes to make some quick money and show it off too. To his clients (Sajin Cherukayil and Biju Sopanam) who own a resort, he...
