Jallikkattu literaly refers to a festival of bullgrabbing celebrated in tamilnadu is having its resemlance with the storyline of the film in which the entire 1:30 hrs is all about chasing a buffallo escaped from the custody of a local butcher named varkey. The film interplots the rivalry between two individuals thus it turns out briefly into a competent establishment of power over the other. The film ends up snatching the buffallo with a moralistic insight as it narrates "those men runs in two legs are just equal to animals treed on four legs." THUMBS UPS.... The director lijo jose pallissery prooves himself once again as a figurative narrator of realistic stories. Background scores that booses our heads is very adaptable to the situation, so that the audience are all grabbed visually to chase the unhinged buffallo through the darkest hours. Cinematography happens to be the real hero of the film as it fetched every nukes of the valley in search of visuals in a lucid w

The story of joker is all about a man with neurological disorders turns out to become a criminal through the continuous social rejections and personal agony. The film invites the audience to the more darker mind of the character and compels to justify the characters crimes and gets sympathised to him. Its story cannot be told directly as its a character-centric approach from the creators to let the viewer to judge his actions with our own personal ethics and free will. HATS OFF TO.. .. The brilliant performance of Joaquin phoenix that overshadows the entire artists of the films by every complicated emotions and gestures comes and goes within the fraction of seconds. His miniacle laughters, moodswings, dance and everything will be revelling in your discomforts and you will be sympathised to it more efficiently than accepting the sadistic villiany of the pop culture's crown-prince of crime. As its the origin story, the film refers to the Waynes family, Anti-rich sentiments in

The film tells about the story of a freedom fighter named narasimha reddy who was one among the 61 territorial kings of southeast india. As the conflicts between the neighbouring kingdoms were very frequent in medieval times, Narasimha reddy decides to reunite the people by celebrating a local festival of unity and thanksgiving with a hope that the united front can overthrown the British government.

CLAPS. Making a historically period film which is left untold in oriental indian history is a commentable effort from a nationalistic perspective. Artworks of the film is exorbitant with colorful landscapes, courtyards a

Luca tells about an eccentric artist who meet up with a chemistry research scholar named Niharika and their romance that follows. The film technically starts from its ending and progresses through an investigation of two intefering mysterious suicides. As its a thriller, i am not attempting to spoil your sense of entertainment by detailing the storyline. So,  am just analysing its positives and neagatives. POSOTIVES. Scripting deserves special mentioning though you may feel little resemblance of luca with DQs charlie. Concluding the story very precisely with a single dailogue of a character that is seemingly less relevant in the story line, is surprisingly enlightening. Background scores are very entagling with the emotional context of the characters and the echoic hummings with doppler effects can be considered as a scientifically artistic attempt. Songs are very refreshing with meaningful lyrics. Climax of the film is very logical after wiping off all the tiny stuffs that were

The film flashes the lights upon a passionate,  young filmmaker named issak ibrahim (Tovino thomas) who decides to produce his own film after years of hardwork in the film industry.

"Ishq" is a socially committed visualisation of realistic new -generation story that gives its hard slaps on the cruxes of moral policing. The first half of the film is all about extremely annoying degrees of vigilantism and convoying on two lovers who were romantically entertaining themselves in a car. It drags the audience empathetically as the incidents were realistically scripted and played.  Second half drives the film to its revenging portions, against the culprits of the first half. As the film is a rosary of events rather than a story,  its more watchable than readable. . Positives. Realism is the positivity that wieghs the film throughout its narrative. All the characters are admirably adapted themselves to givesout their best.. Songs,  bjm, and concept of the film is commentable. Neagatives. As its realistic,  you may feel lagging, especially in the first half and the last scenes after the filmy revenge sequence. You may find lots of unused possibilities

First half of the film hooks up with so many laughters and concludes when lallu finds his love from a newspaper clipping of a missing girl. In the second half,  he chases the girl and comes to attracts whereabouts of her that yet again ignites the so called "spark" in lallus words. But, the story dig to its emotional mines and lallus reactions towards such unpreductable incidents are rest of the story that paves the way to its climax.. Positives. Dq, salim kumar,  soubin,  dharmajan, hareesh kanaaran, vishnu and the rest, gave enough comedy and colorful performances in
