Savin Sa's 'Vaazha 2: Biopic of a Billion Bros' has officially joined the exclusive Rs 200 crore club, becoming the fifth Malayalam film to achieve this milestone and the first with rank newcomers in the lead, while also being ranked among the top five highest-grossing Malayalam films.

'For the film-maker, as for the photographer, barbershops with their many moments of interest -- wall-to-wall mirrors, shiny accoutrements, beaded curtains -- provide ample scope for mis-en-scene,' says Ranjita Ganesan.
'Thank you for being an inspiration, not just to me but to an entire generation.'

Rima Kallingal and Manju Warrier give powerhouse performances in Rani Padmini, raves Paresh C Palicha.
The comedy is stale, but there are bits that make you laugh, notes Divya Nair.

A look at the seven Malayalam films that scored in the first half of 2016!
Priyanka expressed disappointment that the church denied her nani's last wish to be buried in Kumarakom.
From the blood and tears that flowed in the first half, the narrative takes a 'U' turn and becomes a comic caper post interval, giving us a feeling that we watched two different films that were merged together midway, feels Paresh C Palicha.
Manjummel Boys gets so many things right, applauds Arjun Menon.
Manjummel Boys traces the story of one such bunch of inebriated tourists from Kochi, fans of the film Gunaa.
Here's what Paresh C Palicha has to say about the Malayalam movie Charlie.

'Maheshinte Prathikaram is one of those movies where I didn't know what hit me. I don't remember another movie -- at least in recent times -- that I surrendered to with such happiness,' says Sreehari Nair.
