A Look At Tovino Thomas’ 7 Recent Films To Watch Online!(Photo Credit –Facebook)

Tovino Thomas has been a prominent face in Mollywood cinema for over a decade. His superhero film Minnal Murali helped him gain pan-Indian recognition during this time. He is not just an actor but also a producer, yet consistent theatrical success has often eluded him. So today, we’ve compiled a list of some of his recent films, specifically the ones where he plays a major role, and ranked them as per their current IMDb ratings while listing where you can watch them.

1. 2018 (2023) Streaming On: SonyLIV IMDb Rating: 8.3/10 Director: Jude Anthany Joseph

Plot: Inspired by the real-life 2018 Kerala floods, the film depicts how the state and its people endured and survived during that time. It highlights how the community came together to help each other without discrimination, how common people assisted their fellow citizens in escaping certain death,...

The mission for revenge is on in the Nautilus season 1 finale. After making it clear that Nemo is a step ahead of the Company, it’s time to see if the crew can make their plan work.

Caution: This post contains Spoilers for Nautilus season 1, episode 10.

After an adventure across the seas and below the ice, the crew of the Nautilus ended up back in London in the finale. Crawley knew they were coming, but Nemo also knew that. It’s why he was already there when Crawley started putting the guards together in Nautilus season 1, episode 9.

The finale picks up with a breakdown of what’s needed to take down the Company. They need to get the shares of the three main shareholders, Jericho Baker, Lord Pitt, and Dr. Ambrose Skin. They all have their own targets, with Nemo going after Baker, Boniface and Jiacomo going after Skin, and Humility going after Pitt.

The end of the previous episode seemed to suggest that everyone was in peril. And while that’s the case in Nautilus season 1, episode 6, it’s not as you would expect.

At the end of episode 5, Humility was left behind after getting the eel fin out of the Nautilus. Would the others wake up from their dreams as the submarine sailed away from the heat? Would anyone figure out what had happened to Humility?

In some good news, those questions are answered pretty quickly, with Nemo making it clear how much he owes his life and the lives of others to Humility. However, he isn’t as quick to believe anyone when it sounds like Humility may have seen Atlantis.

When left on her own,...

Episode 6 of Nautilus, "The Big Blue," is a bit of an escapade with a lot of action and investigation. Relationships aboard the Nautilus are becoming more complicated, particularly between Nemo and Humility. Plus, one can't go wrong in July with big sharks, right?

Now that the Nautilus is moving away from the ring of fire, things cool off enough for the crew to snap out of their fugue. Once they realize Humility isn’t with them, they turn the ship around to find her before she runs out of air.

We see another new invention from Benoit: a defibrillator. A fun fact is that the defibrillator was invented in 1899, 42 years after the events of Nautilus. I like that Nemo acknowledges that Humility saved them all. He does have an occasional humble moment.

The dreadnought continues pursuing the Nautilus. Even though they’ve lost the sound signal, Crawley believes they are still close.

It’s up to Humility to save the day in Nautilus season 1 episode 5, but who will save Humility? And is there any way to counteract an infection?

Caution: This post contains Spoilers for Nautilus season 1 episode 5.

Nautilus season 1 episode 4 left the crew of the submarine in grave danger. An electric eel had wrapped itself around them, and it was dragging them down to the depths of the ocean. Well, we pick right back up with that, with Humility trying to figure out a way to fire back.

A flashback of Humility at the French college for boys that she’d previously said she attended kicks off her storyline. She’s sure that she can work out impossible puzzles, and this one with the Nautilus is certainly an impossible one. However, she starts to doubt herself when shocking the eel back doesn’t seem to work.

Dealing with an infection on the ship

However,...

The title of this episode, "Anguille Fumée," is interesting. It can mean a smokey environment and also is a French smoked eel dish.

This is my least favorite episode of the show so far. It starts out with excitement, witty commentary, and action. However, as events with Archie the dog progress, the remaining portion of the episode is slow going.

We begin with a flashback to Humility attending university in France, disguised as a male and calling herself Marchand. She wears a fake mustache! We learn a bit more about Loti’s role in her life. I love how Loti describes herself as “a devil in a dress.” We are also introduced to Humility’s mother, who arranged the marriage with Pitt.

Back in the present, the Nautilus is struggling with the gigantic electric eel wound around its hull. The huge eye staring into the view window is a bit creepy.

The discussion over whether fictional violence inspires real violence is nothing new. Literature, film and video games have long been targets of this tiresome argument – its resurfacing in 2024 still comes as a surprise. Or perhaps it was for Indian director Haneef Adeni whose feature “Marco”, a spin-off to his 2019 movie “Mikhael”, was heavily criticized for its violence. Considering you can enjoy the latest installment of the popular “John Wick”-franchise all around, this must have been quite ironic. Ironically, the controversy added to the hype around “Marco,” which received critical acclaim upon release. Its story of revenge, family, and loyalty aligns well with the current popularity of such narratives in mainstream culture.

Marco is screening at the Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival

When Marco (Unni Mukundan) learns about his brother’s death, he returns to India. As a member of one of the most influential and dangerous crime syndicates in the area,...

Episode 4 of Nautilus, "Slippery When Wet" begins with the Nautilus again facing down the pursuing dreadnought. The dreadnought fires upon the Nautilus and intentionally misses, although the explosion still rocks the ship. Once again, a reckless Nemo leaves the Nautilus, this time without a diving suit. He swims over and takes an axe to the turret on the dreadnought. Upon breaking it he is thrown back from the resulting blast.

Billy Millais (Luke Arnold) has flashbacks to his shared childhood with Nemo, when the both of them were bullies by classmates. I’m curious to see if he ever switches sides. At times, he is bothered by the racism of the company men, but then he does his job when needed.

Nemo is rescued and revived back on the Nautilus. The damage inflicted on the dreadnought buys them time to make it out of the bay.

Next we visit with...

At the end of the previous episode, the Nautilus was trapped by a giant squid near the ocean floor. It prevents them from surfacing by wrapping its body around the ship and holding fast with tentacle suckers. As it squeezes, the ship's metal hull groans and parts fall off.

Nemo, reckless as ever, puts on a diving suit and exits to try and scare it off. His spear gun is no match for it. However, mama whale shows up and rescues the Nautilus. Perhaps the whales are going to be a recurring thing.

Meanwhile, the Nautilus is still being pursued by the dreadnought, but it escapes by firing a torpedo filled that makes a lot of noise. Both ships have men monitoring ocean sounds. The dreadnought officer picks up on the torpedo, so they give chase. Meanwhile, the Nautilus fires its engines and flees. Crawley is disgusted at falling for the ruse.

Nautilus is not a textbook adaptation of the Jules Verne classic that it refers to—it is rather a reimagining with fantasy elements filling its ten-episode story arc, with characters that are written ever so realistically according to the time period that it is representing. The story takes place around 1857, starting at Kalpani and ending at the end of the world, beyond the Arctic. With Captain Nemo, an Indian prince who is seeking justice for the murder of his wife and daughter at the hands of the British, the Nautilus has a crew full of characters from all over the globe. While the crew band together for justice, planning an uprising, the colonizers chase them with the Dreadnought. While the series revolves around Nemo’s quest, the shared goal of justice gives all his crew a shared arc, making the win quite democratic! With fantastical creatures and even more textured characters,...

It’s pretty clear that not everyone really wanted to be part of Nemo’s escape. That leads to some of them attempting to leave the submarine in Nautilus season 1, episode 2.

Caution: This post contains Spoilers for Nautilus season 1, episode 2.

The episode of Nautilus picks up off the back of the first episode. The ship is sinking, and the power is completely out. Humility has an idea, and Nemo even listens to it. They need to pump air into the engine to get it working again, but it doesn’t work. The further they sink, the more oxygen they lose, and it looks like this planned escape is going to fail.

Well, that is until Loti and others hear hissing. Air is escaping from one of the pipes. As they seal that, they can finally get air into the engine, and that gets the submarine back to the surface. Now...

Abraham Ozler Movie Review Rating:

Star Cast: Jayaram, Mammootty, Anoop Menon, Anaswara Rajan, Arjun Ashokan, Jagadish

Director: Midhun Manuel Thomas

Abraham Ozler Movie Review Out ( Photo Credit – IMDb )

What’s Good: Director Midhun adeptly concludes the film with a twist. The surprise cameo by Mammootty adds a highlight, leaving a lasting impression. Screenplay writer Dr. Randheesh Krishnan introduces engaging medical jargon, maintaining viewer engagement. Jayaram’s commendable performance and standout acts by supporting cast members enhance the film’s appeal.

What’s Bad: The initial sense of repetitiveness dampens thrills in the first half. The film’s execution must be more intense, with intriguing elements losing momentum. Clumsiness in certain scenes and less-polished dialogues contribute to a descent in the film’s overall impact.

Loo Break: Around the 59-minute mark, Jagadish is introduced at a hospital. Take a break only if absolutely necessary. If you can’t avoid a restroom break,...

What’s Good: Mohanlal’s versatile performance as Advocate Vijayamohan anchors the movie, showcasing commendable preparation and immersion in the character. The initial half captivates with compelling courtroom scenes, notably Siddique’s portrayal of the defense lawyer.

Loo Break: Consider a loo break during the scene where Jagadish, portraying the victim’s father, goes around lawyers to seek representation for his daughter in court.

Watch or Not?: While the acting is commendable, ‘Neru...
