ReviewThis Malayalam film streaming on SonyLiv has a crowded cast, but the seamless screenplay, strong direction, smooth editing, and intelligent shot selection ensure that you understand each character.Screengrab / 1001 NunakalThe most popular maxim when it comes to marriage in India has to be the one about uttering even a thousand lies to make a wedding happen. Honesty, then, isn’t a virtue that’s traditionally recommended in the institution of marriage. Directed by Thamar Kv who co-wrote the film with Hashim Sulaiman, 1001 Nunakal is about the nature of truth and lies. Though we may automatically say that we prefer the former, can we really handle it? Perhaps Jack Nicholson in A Few Good Men (1992) was onto something when he famously yelled, “You can’t handle the truth!” 1001 Nunakal is set in Dubai where the close-knit Nri Malayali community depends on each other in times of crises. An apartment fire triggers...

CinemaWhile the viewers in question praised the male lead, Anand Deverakonda, the female protagonist portrayed by Vaishnavi Chaitanya was at the receiving end of hate-filled harassment.When the Telugu film Baby was released on Friday, July 14, videos of some men unhesitantly yelling expletives at Vaishnavi (the female lead of the movie played by Vaishnavi Chaitanya) at the theatre, emerged. It is no surprise that mainstream Telugu cinema has not had the best roles for women but such explicit disdain for a female character who chose to broaden her horizons beyond her high school relationships is shocking. In the movie, the woman protagonist gets close to a man who was not her high school sweetheart Anand (played by Anand Deverakonda). What is even more appalling are the fan reactions to the movie. Without mincing words, many were happy to launch a tirade of attacks on women and their ‘fickle’ nature when...

Tamil cinemaFilms have always confused love with many things like stalking, envy, saviourship, and so on. Here are five Tamil films that did not get romance right in 2022.Oshin AHow did Tamil cinema portray love on screen in 2022? Quite poorly, one could say. Of course, there were a countable number of films that beautifully showcased the essence of romantic relationships, but most of them staggered with the theme.Year after year, we see how a major chunk of the Tamil film industry has been mishandling the concept of romance. From the glorification of stalking to the "soup" song culture, the representation of romance and romantic relationships have been a slippery slope. Here is a list of Tamil films from 2022 that confused romance with several other things: Love Today This film had to be the first on the list because it was loved and appreciated by many for all the wrong reasons.

Ravi, who goes into a coma at the brink of the new millennium and wakes up 16 years later, thinks so. Director Pradeep Ranganathan’s debut film Comali is about the perils of technology that has made the world smaller and yet more distant.
