Nanpakal Nerathu Mayakkam (2022)
Should have been a short film
The feels of the film really resonated with its title. "Entha ipo indaayath!" feel is the vibe the film gives.
I never thought Lijo would be this dumb to make this a movie with runtime 110 mins. He could have done with it within 45 minutes.
All the cheers and claps in the theater were sarcastic. All were relieved that the film got over at last.
As long as the intellectuals think that this is art, we commoners are doomed.
Mammooty's acting was brilliant, that i must say. The bgm was annoying. Overall casting was good. Too many idle shots so as to make us audience think that the director is a genius.
Dont waste your money brothers, unless you are that bored.

Great effort- but not quite there.
First of all I would like to appreciate the effort that has been put into making this film.
Positives..
1. Good performance from The Nangleli actress. She did her best.
2. The BGM is nice even though there are places where its overdone.
3. The overall direction, art and choreography did well.
4. The film did bring those old era feels.
Now onto some criticism..
1. Siju Wilson performance is just average, I mean the acting part.
2. Storyline is bit boring here and there. Not a totally compelling tale.
3. Gokulam Gopalan's casting as the lead actor's grandfather is terrible (cringe fest).
4. Also the Kannan kurup guy is below average.
5. Expected a more intense screenplay.
The film is better than Marakkar or Mamangam but no way close to Vadakkan Veeragatha or Pazhassiraja.
Jana Gana Mana (2022)
An okkay movie
Prithvi and Suraj performed well.
Missplaced songs.
Casting for non-lead roles was weak.
Slow first half.
Pacy second half.
Court scenes were good.
Too many overacting sequences from non-lead actors.
Last 30 minutes consists of too many twists that I left the theater lost.
Bgm is good at times and bad at times.
The director could have made the movie much much better.
A missed opportunity.
Hridayam (2022)
Whats up with the high ratings?!
Heavy PR work is being done in the background. This movie is at best a 5 or 6. And am rating this 3 cause of the overhyped rating given.
And sorry, Pranav is a terrible actor. I am a mohanlal fan and i guarantee you that mohanlal is light years ahead of pranav. Pranav is 31 now.
Before the age of 31 Mohanlal had done movies like gandhi nagar 2nd street, nammukku parkan munthiri thoppukal, thalavattam, amritham gamaya, thoovanathumbikal, nadodikkatttu, mukunthetta sumithra vilikunnu, pattanapravesham, vellanakalude naadu, chithram, varavelpu, kireedam, vandanam, dasaratham, aye auto, akkara akkara akkare, thazhvaaram, dhanam, bharatham, kilukkam, abhimanyu etc. How can anyone say that Pranav can even act if one has seen the works of his father.
This overhype culture is ruining it all. ART IS DYING.

Fun
The new gen actors did pretty well, didnt expect such a smooth performance from them.
There is a slight lag during the start of second half which is forgivable.
Overall a good movie with lots of fun suitable for viewing with family as well as friend.
Kurup (2021)
OK Movie
Script - 7/10
Direction - 8/10
Acting - 8/10
Cinematography - 9/10
Bgm -10/10
A good entertainer that is a one time watch. Its nothing close to a "masterpiece" or a "cult classic" as the advertisers and the teen kids want you to believe. And its nothing close to a third rate movie as some degraders want you to believe.
As far as the story is concerned its a mix of realilty and fiction. Anyway the overall outline of the story is around 70% real. Do we get to the real Kurup? To some extent, yes we do.
The romantic song is really good. It gets better with each time you listen. The background music is "cult" level. In fact the BGM did a great role in hiding the imperfections in Script and Direction.
The lead lady did a fine job along with Shine Tom Chacko and Indrajith. Dulquer act was the usual, nothing out of box. He still has to go beyond his comfort zone. That doesnt mean he hasnt got his charms. Boy, the guy is extra charming. All I say is he has miles to go ahead in terms of acting.
The pre release over-advertisement of the movie will create many expectations for the audience. So it wouldn't be a surprise if this movie would get mixed reviews.
Overall verdict - A good entertainer for 170rs.
