On the surface, there is nothing that is new about Thallumaala. With an old-school and familiar story about a toxic man, his rogue friends, and the wealthy lady whose heart he has won, it is an old wine in a new bottle. But this new bottle is nothing if not intricately designed. Starring Tovino Thomas in a brilliant leading performance that surpass...
Chup, a proper serial killer thriller by its very design, is R. Balki’s most solid effort in years and one that pays off well. First and foremost, a truly well-meaning ode to the life and traumatic end of Guru Dutt, the film celebrates moviesin a dark and sordid way. What makes it largely work is its tonally appropriate messiness, one that enables ...
Jana Gana Mana is what you create when you are angry with the system and have a pessimistic outlook believing in its disability to change. It is what you create when you can see that inequality and violence permeate all spheres of life, and hate is engineered into society by the establishment. Jana Gana Mana is antithetical to propaganda and antido...
The selection of Chhello Show as India’s official entry for Best International Feature at the Oscars was surprising because the applause RRR garnered in the west made it the most reasonable choice. In the first wave of discourse, Chhello Show got dismissed quite unfairly because RRR stood a greater chance at the Academy but was neglected. But it mu...
In an age when every new romantic comedyfeels like a soft reiteration of the one that was released some time before it, it genuinely feels nice and warm to see something as oddly charming and sweet as Thiruchitrambalam. There’s nothing especially unique about the plot or its treatment here. Through background music that anchors sentiments, individu...
While watching An Action Hero, I was constantly reminded of Sachy’s 2020 film Ayyappanum Koshiyumstarring Biju Menon and Prithviraj Sukumaran. While being a completely different film in terms of motivations and form, it shared the basic plotline with An Action Hero: a battle of ego between two men from two different class positions. Sachy’s previou...
Hawk’s Muffin is possibly the most original science fiction Indian film since Amit Dutta’s Sonchidi. There are multiple ways to read this film, and I read it as a synecdoche for the modern human history of imperialism. There are imperialistic and para-imperialistic forces at play, represented by characters fighting for the acquisition of free lands...
A male filmmaker choosing to tell a story-oriented around a woman and her tumultuous life might pose a problem of the lack of an active female gaze. Bollywood’s very own baroque auteur Sanjay Leela Bhansali chooses to adapt a chapter from S. Hussain Zaidi and Jane Borges’s book The Mafia Queens of Mumbai, a tale of a Kamathipura brothel madame’s co...
I have to say that Monica, O My Darling was the most surprising Hindi film of the year for me. Dark comedy is a tough genre to crack, and the prominent Hindi filmmakers of the 21st century, such as Sriram Raghavan and Anurag Kashyap, have toyed with its potential. With Mard ko Dard Nahi Hota, Vasan Bala rose to prominence as a quirky filmmaker. Wit...
I think it would be best to take Rishab Shetty’s Kantara as a hero-oriented mass movie in the tradition of regular action masala, for only then does it seem to revitalize the regular tropes of the genre truly. Balancing the fantastical with the spiritual, the film works within the boundaries of a gritty rural narrative that is a plea to reclaim one...
