"Partners" belongs to the category of films about theft. Five apprehended thieves attempt to get away with stolen gold. That's the gist. It's a mediocre film that has similarities to other films. From an acting perspective, they presented numerous new members of the cast in unimportant roles. However, as a tale, it could be passable. The background music is the annoying part. I'm not sure why this thriller film needs suspenseful music for each and every scene. The primary character's failure to fulfill their characterization is the acting's flaw. That is also the director's issue. It's a nice treat if someone wants to see a movie just to kill time without experiencing the true essence of a good film. Observe and then let it go. Of fact, this film tells some genuine lies by appropriating plot aspects from other films, such as "Usual Suspects". The supporting cast members' performances will never be remembered and will have no bearing on the plot. However, the film never forgets what the protagonists never accomplished.

The film "Paradise," regrettably, falls short of the hype and offers an unimpressive viewing experience in general. The story, which revolves around an ostensibly exciting journey, is rife with cliches and predictable turns that rob the film of any thrill or novelty. The plot is fragmented and leaves the audience more perplexed than captivated due to the screenplay's lack of consistency.

Character development is scant, and the conversation is terribly written, offering no insight into the protagonists' motivations or personalities. It is difficult for viewers to emotionally invest in their journeys because of this lack of depth. Despite the best efforts of a gifted cast, the performances lack credibility and feel forced, mostly because to poor scriptwriting and directing. From a cinematographic standpoint, the movie is also unimpressive. The images, which had the potential to be a strong point, are ruined by a lack of imagination in picture composition and dull camerawork. The film feels longer than its running time due to the jerky editing, which further ruins the narrative flow.

Furthermore, the background music might be bothersome at times because it makes an excessive effort to create a dramatic and tense mood but ends up being a distraction. The experience of watching is further diminished by the absence of an engaging music.

In general, "Paradise" is a lethargic addition to Malayalam film; it lacks the inventiveness, nuance, and emotional resonance necessary to leave a lasting impression.

The Michael Sarnoski-directed film "A Quiet Place: Day One" makes an effort to investigate the beginnings of the extraterrestrial invasion, but it ultimately falls short of the lofty standards set by its predecessors. Although the film begins with compelling sequences of the first turmoil, it finds it difficult to sustain that pace throughout. Though meant to offer a more comprehensive viewpoint, the multi-narrative method frequently comes across as haphazard and lessens the emotional effect.

Even with Lupita Nyong'o and Joseph Quinn giving powerful performances, the characters don't have enough nuance or growth to really hold the attention of the viewer. Although the film's sound design is still a standout, its uncanny ability to build tension through quiet and unexpected noises isn't enough to make up for the erratic pacing and cliched plot twists.

All things considered, "A Quiet Place: Day One" has its share of frightening moments but falls short of emulating the same emotional impact and inventiveness that characterized the first two films.
