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.

ReviewThe film has good performances by the cast and is fun in parts, but the convoluted plot and lengthy runtime test your patience.Sowmya RajendranVivek Athreya's Ante Sundaraniki is a Telugu romcom that attempts to bring together two contrasting worlds. A Hindu Brahmin man and a Christian woman. The film opens with the two of them in their respective homes, both preparing to leave for the US. The intercuts establish how different they are from each other. Chalk and cheese. The opening sequence sets up the expectation that the two of them will meet in the foreign country, be repulsed by each other's differences initially, eventually reconcile and fall in love. That's the obvious plot that writes itself. But to Vivek's credit, that isn't what unfolds. Nani as Sundar and Nazriya as Leela Thomas are charming actors who can sell ice to an Eskimo, and the film relies heavily...

MollywoodSoubin is endearing as the child-like Ambili but the film offers little else.Sowmya RajendranThe trailer of Ambili, which showed Soubin dancing with abandon for the ‘Njan Jackson Allada’ song, set up the anticipation for Johnpaul George’s second directorial. Anyone who has followed Soubin’s career trajectory would have been excited by the promise of his character. A child-like man with endearing quirks. And Soubin doesn’t disappoint. As the innocent Ambili who plays cricket with the kids and is easily cheated of his money, Soubin is entirely believable. Each time he smiles or cries, he does it with the guilelessness of a five-year-old, and it’s not a joke for a grown man to pull this off. He races around Kattapana in his cycle, does video calls with his childhood friend and now girlfriend Tina (Tanvi Ram) on his computer (she’s in Delhi), and writes bad yet strangely catchy poetry.
