In 2024, Asif Ali had a great year. The year began with his cameo in the hit Varshangalkku Shesham, and then his next film was Thalavan, where he played a police officer and one of the main protagonists. The movie did well, and even a sequel was announced. While his next venture, Level Cross, wasn’t a huge success, many critics considered it a good film, with most reactions being mixed. Unfortunately, his next film, Adios Amigo, didn’t do well at the box office.

However, Asif Ali’s next outing was part of a multi-starrer anthology web series, Manorathangal, based on the works of M.T. Vasudevan Nair. His following project, Kishkindha Kaandam, turned out to be a massive hit—something no one expected.

ReviewThis is the story of a heartless, unloving man with no principles, no ounce of mercy, nothing humane. He is presented as such.CrisThe team behind Mukundan Unni Associates, the film that put Vineeth Sreenivasan in a very unusual role, has clearly done a lot of preparation to present their lead character. Mukundan Unni, an advocate always seen in the clean white clothes of a lawyer-on-call, almost as if to contrast the dark thoughts we hear him think, even has an actual Instagram page. Vineeth Sreenivasan is unrecognisable as he plays this most cunning man with zero feelings for anyone other than himself. The film, which stands out in more ways than one, is the debut of editor Abhinav Sunder Nayak as director. Before you begin watching the film, you have got to keep your judgemental thoughts away. This is not a film that tells right from wrong or bats for good over evil.

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.

InterviewMalayalam director Vipin Das, whose film ‘Antakshari’ is releasing on April 22, tells Tnm about his unusual ideas of filmmaking and his refusal to tread the tried and tested path.CrisAntakshari, mostly known to be a harmless little game of songs (listeners may disagree), now appears to have a whole new dangerous side. It took Vipin Das, a filmmaker from Thiruvananthapuram in Kerala, to find that the game could bring horror, make songs that were once dear to you appear scary. Delighted with this discovery, he wrote a movie about it and called it Antakshari. Casting Saiju Kurup, an actor known for handling all sorts of characters with ease, in the lead, Vipin is releasing the film on Ott platform SonyLIV, on April 22. “It is not that I have written an unusual story. It is the story’s treatment that is unusual and that’s what I always go for,” Vipin...

ReviewShine Tom Chacko and Rajisha play a couple in a marriage typical of our times — lots of happy photos that cover up the toxicity within.Sowmya RajendranKhalid Rahman's Love begins with an almost poetic exposition of violence. An argument breaks out between a husband and wife; they seethe at each other, they break things around them, they slap and pull at each other. There is no sound but we can imagine it. All through, the camera treats the sequence as a form of duelling dance. To the point when you wonder if the director is going to end up romanticising domestic violence. But then, the husband accidentally kills the wife in the melee. That's the stark beginning, and you wonder if this is going to be a Drishyam-like 'what to do with the dead body' kind of mystery. But it isn't. Shine Tom Chacko plays Anoop and Rajisha Vijayan plays Deepthi.

Sowmya RajendranDebut director Rafeek Ibrahim's Padayottam is an absurd drama about gangsters who are not particularly bright. Much of the film depends on situational comedy for laughs and since it has a cast of talented actors, the proceedings are never dull.

However, by humanising each of them in a way that's not merely gimmicky, Padayottam manages to stay entertaining till the end. Biju Menon plays Raghu, a devout gangster, who is terrified of his mom (the ever-delightful Sethu Lakshmi). In your regular film, gangsters merely chop people up. At the most, they may swig a drink and dance along in an "item" number. But when the hero is a gangster himself, we see...
