It is an enjoyable album which tempts you to press the rewind button.
Kireedam, directed by debutant Vijay with Ajith in the lead is a disappointment for all those who have seen the original.
Top actor Mohanlal on Saturday broke his silence over the shocking revelations in the Justice Hema Committee report which has shaken the Malayalam film industry, and said the entire industry is answerable to the questions raised but the actors' association is targeted and blamed for everything.
Philip's is a light-hearted film you can enjoy with your family and safely recommend to your friends, endorses Divya Nair.
Watching Aavesham is like sprinting through the whole history of our mass-masala movies and seeing it in a new light, notes Sreehari Nair. And this, incidentally, is the story of Fahadh Faasil's career too.
"Every actor's life is short. It exists only between 'Action' and 'Cut'," Mohanlal once told Subhash K Jha.
As Ajith's Yennai Arindhaal releases, we look at the movies that made him a star.
After a lifetime of showing us what it means to 'act at the top of one's bent and never hit a false note', Mammootty had the good sense, in the third act of his career, to pare down his style, become less mannered, draw directly from life. And getting a performer like that to play characters who seem 'completely dead inside', is, in my view, a betrayal of his legacy, his still-burning ambition, and his still-sharp feelers, observes Sreehari Nair.
The film also stars Anushka Shetty and Vikram.
Filmmaker Vijay talks about his film Deiva Thirumagal that releases today.
The Malayalam movie stars not Mohanlal or Mammooty, with whom he made some excellent films, but Nishan, Asif Ali, Nithya Menon and a couple of fresh faces.

Director Vijay talks about his upcoming film Madhrasapattinam.
Mohanlal on why he agreed to star in the latest Malayalam movie Unnaipol Oruvan.
Sooryan, Jayaram's new film directed by V M Vinu loses midway.
Sreehari Nair reviews Ayyappanum Koshiyum.
The film has a problem with pacing and lags a few times but the director uses these moments to add meat to the characters.
'When Kamal Haasan came into the room, I was literally shivering. I am just an ordinary head load worker and there, I was standing next to a legend like him. I didn't know what to do. Not even in my dreams did I think of meeting Kamal sir or talking to Shankar Mahadevan sir. I was living a dream.'
'We may have played a small part, but being a part of the film that has won the prestigious award Palme d'Or is definitely a great honour.' Suresh Balaje and George Pius, who own the Wide Angle Creations, were the line producers on the French film Dheepan that won the top prize at the Cannes International Film Festival.
