ReviewActors are spilled across the narrative, but instead of adding to the frolic like in Alphonse’s previous films, in ‘Gold’ it is mostly just chaos.CrisImagine that tin game most of us played as kids – many names written in small chits of paper dropped inside a tin that is then shaken vigourously. After 160-plus minutes of Alphonse Puthren’s Malayalam comedy Gold, the head feels somewhat like that tin. I am still pulling out names from it, and I have managed to recall 30 so far. Star-studded is not the right word for Gold. The film has actors spilled all across the script and just as soon as you catch up with one name, the person is nowhere to be seen. It is of course Alphonse, a filmmaker known for penning long scripts and being generous with the cast. But in his two previous much-adored ventures if it added to the fun and frolic,...

ReviewThe film’s underlying philosophy seems to be that adulting is overrated, and that all the world's problems could be solved if only all of us believed in the healing power of oversized, colourful clothes.Sowmya RajendranNivin Pauly in Saturday NightOne of the characters in Rosshan Andrrews’ buddy film Saturday Night has a condition called age regression. He’s stuck in a phase of extreme juvenility – and the film's expectation is that the viewers, too, transport themselves to a similar stage in life to enjoy it. Preferably nothing above kindergarten. It's painful to see Nivin Pauly in a film like this. Saturday Night (written by Naveen Bhaskar) opens with a self aware joke on the actor's considerable weight gain in a WhatApp group called Jass – Justin (Saiju Kurup), Ajith (Siju Wilson), Sunil (Aju Varghese) and Stanley (Nivin Pauly).

Film analysisVelayudha Panicker’s story has been little celebrated even in Kerala, where he fought to end the many inhuman acts unleashed on the oppressed caste.CrisIMDBWhen Siju Wilson is first introduced in the film Pathonpatham Noottandu (‘the nineteenth century’), he appears as a mild-mannered young man, keeping his distance from the ruling class men of the dominant caste. In the few minutes he is inside the premises of their domain, he observes the injustices that go on in there – an oppressed caste virgin forced to go to sleep with a lustful Britishman, two slave men made to fight each other until one of them dies. He finally reacts when one of the men is being asked to kill the other, snatching the weapon, and riding away on a horse. That is how Arattupuzha Velayudha Panicker, a social reformer believed to be the first martyr of the renaissance movement in Kerala,...

ReviewTalented actors such as Sabumon, Johny Antony, Karamana Sudheer and others are wasted in clichéd ideas of humour.CrisThe main thought behind the making of Upacharapoorvam Gunda Jayan appears to have been to make a film with a lot of “comedy” in it. Nearly every scene is written with this idea, you can see. The problem with such ideas is that if the comedy fails, the entire film comes crumbling down faster than a house of cards. That’s what happens with Upacharapoorvam. Lead actor Saiju Kurup, and others including Sabumon, Johny Antony, Shabareesh Varma, Shailaja Ambu and a number of newcomers do try their best, but it really isn’t in their hands to save the film.

In both Aadhi and Irupathiyonnaam Noottaandu, he was seen doing the less common stunts in Malayalam cinema such as parkour and surfing. It seems now the young actor is looking forward to move out of this label and is keen on working on a different genre. Sources say that Pranav is in talks with some leading directors and an announcement regarding his next film will be out soon. Pranav made his debut as hero with the Jeethu Joseph directorial Aadhi last year and the film did well at the box office. It was an action thriller in which Pranav paired up with Aditi Ravi.
