Malayalam movie industry has always witnessed sequels, though there were more flops than hits. Still, every sequel is welcomed with great anticipation and excitement. Sajin Raaghavan's "Padmasree Bharath Dr.Sarojkumar" has arrived at the theaters roaring out "satirical comedy", but after the first show, the question being asked is if it has delivered the "comedy" it promised. Though the director had made repeated declarations that "Padmasree.." is not a sequel to "Udayananu Thaaram" and that the only similarity that exists is the appearance of certain cha...

‘Rathinirvedam’ is a ‘coming of age’ story, one that tells the story of a young guy Pappu (Sreejith) getting obsessed with a much elder Rathi (Shwetha Menon). Pappu, who comes to spend his vacations at his mother’s village, gets attracted towards Rathi Chechi, an attraction that gets transformed into lust and ends up in a relationship that’s bound to change lives.

I won’t say that Vysakh’s ‘Seniors’ is an outstanding movie. I wouldn’t say it’s a bad movie either. I liked it, but to be frank I expected it to be much better, a full-length laugh riot in pace of a comedy-suspense mix. And the suspense aspect, it didn’t work that well with me, I guessed the whole thing much before half time. But I did like the movie, it’s OK for one watch.
