Popular upcoming actor Unni Mukundan on Tuesday suffered yet another setback when the Kerala High Court directed the trial against him in a sexual assault case.
In February, the High Court had lifted the stay granted by it previously on the trial proceedings against him in the same case.
The court had expressed its displeasure after the counsel for the complainant claimed that a forged affidavit was filed by the actor which says a settlement had been reached between him and the woman.
Initially, the court had granted the stay on being informed about the settlement.
The affidavit that was supposedly signed by the woman was submitted by Mukundan, through advocate Saiby Jose Kidangoor, presently caught in a case where he is alleged to have taken huge sums of money from clients to give as bribes to judges.
Later the complainant said that there was no settlement arrived at all...

ReviewThe film has nothing new to say that its predecessors didn’t, and the making doesn’t help it stand out in any way.Still from the filmIn the introduction of Dhyan Sreenivasan’s character in Higuita, he plays football with a bunch of kids, failing to stop an easy goal. He is shown as this naïve young man, afraid of everything. You imagine that the film will be about his transition, turning into a Higuita-like player, given the title. But through the entire film -- another clichéd narrative around Kannur politics -- Dhyan plays an unreadable character, mostly a silent observer of what goes on around him. It is Suraj Venjaramood, playing a tall leader of the Left, who Higuita revolves around. The film has nothing new to say that its predecessors didn’t, and the making doesn’t help it stand out in any way. Higuita had run...

MollywoodThe seeds to redefine codes of morality in Malayalam cinema were sowed in some of the more recent films, where protagonists in shades of grey manage to go scot-free or just suffer unconventional punishments.*Spoilers ahead Traditionally, the protagonists of most Indian films come in different shades of white. They tend to be morally upright, the films almost always on the ‘right’ side of morality. The established template is “the good people live happily ever after”, the corollary being that the ‘bad people’ will meet a bad end — if they do not die by the end of the film, they will at least suffer. For decades, storytellers in India have stuck to this template and fed it to the conscience of the viewing public. This has resulted in countless films where the hero is the ‘good guy’, who does everything by the rules and lives happily in the end. The...

ReviewThis is the story of a heartless, unloving man with no principles, no ounce of mercy, nothing humane. He is presented as such.CrisThe team behind Mukundan Unni Associates, the film that put Vineeth Sreenivasan in a very unusual role, has clearly done a lot of preparation to present their lead character. Mukundan Unni, an advocate always seen in the clean white clothes of a lawyer-on-call, almost as if to contrast the dark thoughts we hear him think, even has an actual Instagram page. Vineeth Sreenivasan is unrecognisable as he plays this most cunning man with zero feelings for anyone other than himself. The film, which stands out in more ways than one, is the debut of editor Abhinav Sunder Nayak as director. Before you begin watching the film, you have got to keep your judgemental thoughts away. This is not a film that tells right from wrong or bats for good over evil.
