Veteran Malayalam actor Nedumudi Venu passed away on Monday. He was 73.

Sara’s is an extremely relevant, realistic, well-acted but mediocre movie. The idea was great but the way they delivered it was insensitive. The major drawback is that every character in this film is agreeable to a fault. It works as an educational film, but the conservative setting fails to create any dramatic tension in the narration.

The Beemapally police firing which resulted in multiple deaths including that of a 14-year-old Muslim boy is the inspiration behind the movie. Ever since the movie's release, there have been criticisms against the distortion of the actual events to favour a state narrative about the police killings. Hence, the tail-end is the final draw from the director to hold together a technically good movie with a weak script, with an even weaker political understanding.

Mammootty and Parvathy are set to come together for the time for a new Malayalam film, 'Puzhu' directed by Ratheena.

The Great Indian Kitchen is a recent Malayalam flick directed by Jeo Baby with Nimisha Sajayan and Suraj Venjaramoodu in the lead roles showcasing stellar performances as the husband wife duo in a quintessential savarna Malayali household that accurately portrays the division of labour among other things in Indian society.

The kitchen is lion's share of the one and half hour movie, along with the repetitive scenes of kitchen the most noticeable is the politics that the filim speaks of, might have made those who don't imagine how bored the women who get stuck in the chain of replicative kitchen life is, feel iriksome for a while.
