Kazi (2023)
A special film that you must watch
At the outset let me make it clear that Kazi is neither one of those contrived mainstream thrillers nor is it your textbook arthouse film.
Sheba Ghosh debuting as a director and donning multiple hats (including a nice understated performance) has come up with a mind boggling psychological thriller.
The movie would definitely come across as a slow burner but your patience is surely going to be rewarded towards the end.
I don't want to reveal too many details and spoilers because I think Kazi is something you have to watch and experience.
Kudos to the entire team for having delivered such a unique feature and special credit to Sheba for a fantastic debut.
PS: I loved the bgm apart from a set of other things like the relatable dialogues, the characterisation and the unpredictability in the screenplay.
2018 (2023)
Overrated and cringey
The movie's cliches and contrivances compunded by it's cringey background score and overly dramatic sequences makes this a laborious watch.
Malayalam cinema industry has produced some of the finest works but this was pathetic in it's craft. It does have a few sequences which do shine but that's about it.
In the quest to promote this as the 'Real Kerala Story', a lot of folks just suspended logic and went overboard in denouncing a bollywood movie released at the same time and promoting this trash.
From start to end the movie is predictable and has too many cardboard characters with maximum attention reserved only for the most famous actor in the movie.
Please avoid this and watch a documentary or news piece on this event for the real Kerala Flood story of 2018. That's even more heart touching.
State of Siege: 26/11 (2020)
Best Indian web series
Brilliantly shot. Terrifying yet terrific. The narration is gripping and the performances are realistic. Easily the best content to get insights on what happened during the tactical operations on 26/11. Don't miss this at any cost.
