The idea behind Dhoomam seems to be loosely based on this thought. A thriller about the ill-effects of smoking that would catch the audience’s attention. Except, there is nothing sly or subtle about the messaging. This is a 2-hour 23-minute drill on how smoking can kill you, delivered in the breathless fashion of a lecturer who is trying to cover the entire syllabus before the bell rings. Pawan, known for experimental Kannada thrillers like Lucia (2013) and U Turn (2016), makes his Malayalam debut...

In 1999, the majority of the testosterone in the United States congregated in Miami, Florida to film Oliver Stone's "Any Given Sunday." After a pair of commercial disappointments in "Nixon" and "U-Turn," the two-time Oscar-winning director needed a hit, and John Logan's adrenalized football drama was roided-up with box-office potential. Once Stone landed Al Pacino for the role of the embattled head coach, every actor with an athletic physique wanted in.

The comedic dynamo had established himself as a television star via "In Living Color" and "The Jamie Foxx Show," and co-starred with Tommy Davidson in the uproarious sleeper hit "Booty Call."

Both men were guaranteed bank at the box office,...
