Antony Movie Review Out ( Photo Credit – IMDb )
What’s Good: Joju George’s robust performance as Antony stands out, breathing life into a character that remains captivating despite its shades of grey. The on-screen chemistry between Joju and Chemban Vinod Jose injects warmth into the film. The portrayal of strong female characters, particularly Kalyani Priyadarshan’s Mma-trained Ann Maria, adds depth to the narrative.
What’s Bad: Lackluster writing hampers the film’s potential, with underdeveloped characters and contrived situations. The antagonists, despite elaborate introductions, the antagonists fade away towards the end, leaving the climax feeling rushed. The film struggles to evoke necessary emotions in crucial scenes due to shallow writing.
Loo Break: Around the 1-hour and 10-minute mark, a brief interlude occurs with a Christian song lasting only around 2 minutes. This...

Malayalam superstar Joju George’s film ‘Antony’ has released its official teaser. An action-thriller-drama film, the movie sees the actor in a new avatar as a hardened, brutal, and not-to-be-messed-with police officer.
The teaser is somewhat vague on the details regarding the storyline, though it seems that some murders have been taking place by an underground network of gangsters, who are without any mercy.
The police who are investigating the murders then take the name of Antony, who is played by Joju George. An old bearded man, Antony appears to be a kind of brutal killer as he walks on to the water in slow-mo with a cleaver in hand.
Investigating what is going on, Antony ends up fighting a bunch of thugs whom he ends up making minced meat out of using a cricket bat, as he bashes their heads on the ground. Joju George appears to be a very silent,...

Directed by Abhilash Joshiy
Crafted with the sharp edge of a harpoon, King Of Kotha, is a brilliant bloodbath. Bestial and unsparing, it goes through several eras and auras of tansformations of skullduggery with transfixing passion.
Although it is the story of two goons who love to hate each other over a period time, it is Dulquer Salmaan’s Raju that holds the plot’s attention from first to last. With a cigarette swinging from his thick lips and curly hair as wild and untameable as the man himself Dulquer’s Raju comes across an epitome of sinster swag, though I preferred him with less swag in the second-half when he strikes a frightening forlorn figure.

ReviewAbhilash Joshiy’s ‘King of Kotha’ is teeming with ambition to put the Malayalam film industry on the pan-Indian map, but is imitation the way to go?Sibi Malayil’s Kireedam, which came out in 1989, was about an aspiring policeman who ends up becoming a gangster due to circumstances. King of Kotha, directed by Abhilash Joshiy, is a period gangster flick that’s set in the same decade, but you won’t find anything common between the two films – not even the shirt styles of the gangsters. And that’s the tragedy of our time. In the rush to make films that will appeal to everyone, we make films that are about no one. Kotha is a coastal town with a drug problem, and Circle Inspector Shahul Hassan (Prasanna) is transferred to the town to take care of it. The kingpin is Kannan ‘bhai’, played by a formidable Shabeer Kallarakkal.

ReviewDirector Antony Sony gets his casting right with a script that involves many interesting characters.CrisThe film is titled Priyan Ottathilanu – literally, Priyan is on the run -- and it suits it well. But it also might have been Paavam Paavam Priyan or Nanma Niranjavan Priyan – take-offs from earlier film titles, also apt to describe Priyan. He is full of nanma – goodness – and he is fully paavam – too nice. He would definitely know all these films by heart, such is his love for cinema. But how he tries to reach that dream world, while he runs for just about everyone circling his life is the story of Priyan, short for Priyadarshan. The film is, as expected, quite pleasing, quite the ‘feel-good’ type, but also a little tiresome as all the helpfulness gets to you after a point. The film begins with little Priyan standing on a village path, in school uniform,...
