‘Trance’ does address a theme that is radically important and proffers a compelling investigation into the unexplored realms of religion, faith and belief.

Kumbalangi Nights (2019) Malayalam Movie Review – Veeyen


‘Kumbalangi Nights’ is much more than an account of four brothers on a frenzied quest to find themselves and each other.

Rosapoo (2018) Malayalam Movie Review – Veeyen


The point that ‘Rosapoo’ is trying to get at, remains elusive throughout. The dull stretches are hardly smoothed out, and while trying to achieve too much, it settles for much less. Wrapped up in a glitter cover all around, ‘Rosapoo’ is a dreary box that springs up zero surprises on you when finally tugged open; a gauche comedy gawks at you from beneath the stylish production design.
