The 72nd National Film Awards celebrated outstanding contributions to Indian cinema, with Yami Gautam, Kartik Aaryan, Mammootty, Dhanush, and Sanjay Mishra among the prominent winners.
Immortal has a seductive premise and good performances, but this vampire tale could have used a lot more bite.
We celebrate Mammootty's 75th birthday by revisiting blockbusters that shaped his superstar image without compromising his brilliance as an actor.
The political drama 'Article 370' was the biggest winner at the 72nd National Film Awards, securing the best feature film honour, with its lead star Yami Gautam named best actress. Mammootty and Kartik Aaryan shared the best actor award for 'Bramayugam' and 'Chandu Champion' respectively.
From All We Imagine As Light to Kishkindha Kaandam, these outstanding films deserved National Film Awards far more than several of this year's winners.
From Peranbu to Bramayugam, Padma Bhushan winner Mammootty's recent filmography is proof that legends can keep reinventing themselves, even post 70.
Mammootty is towering as the unflinching enigma that prevents Bramayugam from being a middling genre exercise, observes Arjun Menon.
You will appreciate the Mammootty of this movie better if you do not take the servile reviews to heart, for this is a grand, broad, almost proudly comic performance, assures Sreehari Nair.
Mammootty's greatness lies not in hiding his flaws, but in turning them into his most powerful acting tools, observes Sreehari Nair.
'Files are getting awards', Prakash Raj said in an apparent reference to The Kashmir Files< receiving national honours.
The bed starts to creak. Anklets jingle in the stillness of the night. A creeping anxiety settles in as strange accidents and eerie incidents force you to question whether a supernatural presence is quietly observing your every move, observes Divya Nair.
Film stars are beloved in our cinema-obsessed country. Stars are not only watched and worshipped on screen but also talked about with much fondness.
'The film-literate public in Kerala are not happy watching run-of-the-mill movies.'
