When Vijayamohan, played by Mohanlal, was introduced in Neru (Truth), my brain immediately picked and played an incredibly funny Key & Peele sketch in my mind. That sketch, “Retired Military Specialist,” sums up the cliched character arc of every maverick male lead. It goes like this: An invincible professional who refuses to follow the regular ways, hailed as the next biggest star in his domain, botches a job. Abandoned by his peers, he now lives a hermit life. Then, a new impossible job appears, and there are no worthy takers. It would take some persuasion from the side-kicks – who always lament about how good he was – for him to take up the job.
In Jeethu Joseph’s Neru, Vijayamohan exactly fits the above description. Meanwhile, his nemesis, the powerful Supreme Court lawyer Rajasekharan, brilliantly played by Siddique, is an archetype villain. But these character traits don’t confine the film to...

Director: Jeethu Joseph
Producer: Antony Perumbavoor

Neru Movie Review(Photo Credit –IMDb)
What’s Good: Mohanlal’s versatile performance as Advocate Vijayamohan anchors the movie, showcasing commendable preparation and immersion in the character. The initial half captivates with compelling courtroom scenes, notably Siddique’s portrayal of the defense lawyer.
What’s Bad: The film needs to improve in maintaining balance, with exaggerated situations and an unnecessarily extended latter portion. Some scenes feel overly dramatic and need more authenticity, deviating from the genuine storytelling expected in Malayalam films.
Loo Break: Consider a loo break during the scene where Jagadish, portraying the victim’s father, goes around lawyers to seek representation for his daughter in court.

Malayalam superstar Suresh Gopi is looking incredibly intense, in the trailer for his upcoming film ‘Garudan’. A crime-thriller-drama film with a touch of psychological horror, Suresh Gopi is essaying the role of a man who won’t rest until he finds justice.
In ‘Garudan’, Suresh Gopi plays the role of Commandant Harish Madhavan who is a senior officer of the Kerala Armed Police.
Actor Biju Menon on the other hand essays the role of a college professor called Nishant, who now finds himself unwittingly involved in a complex legal problem.
A grounded and rather rooted thriller, the trailer boasts very high production value while at the same time not appearing over-the-top, in a darker and more experimental filmmaking style.

In MemoriamSiddique and his partner Lal were really good with situational humour and made their funniest scenes without stereotyping, at no one's expense.SiddiqueEven though Malayalam filmmaker Siddique, who passed away on August 8, is remembered along with his partner Lal for the films they wrote and directed, the two of them had begun by writing stories that others directed. They contributed to one of the most celebrated films in Malayalam, Manichitrathazhu. They were really good with situational humour and made their funniest scenes without the usual stereotyping, at anyone's expense. Later when they split ways, Siddique continued directing comedies and slipped a few into other languages too. A listicle of his films wouldn't be complete without the early films he and Lal wrote for, and without his later stints in Tamil and Hindi. Pappan Priyappetta Pappan This is the first film Siddique and Lal scripted but it was directed by Sathyan Anthikad.

Aligarh, May 3 (Ians) In a major breakthrough in the field of cancer prevention, a common mechanism has been discovered that activates disruption of a single Rna binding protein, Msi-2 binding to mRNAs of the cancer-causing proteins and significantly reduces the synthesis and accumulation of these proteins, reducing Hcv infection and proliferation.
Hifzur Rahman Siddique of Department of Zoology, Aligarh Muslim University (Amu), in coordination with Dr. Keigo Machida, University of South California have discovered the mechanism.
The single Rna binding protein (named Msi-2) helps to accumulate multiple cancer-causing proteins in patients and helps to proliferate Hepatitis C Virus to promote liver cancer.
Siddique and the team who have identified this protein by analysing the liver tissues of 374 liver cancer patients, told Ians, “As we know, alcohol and cholesterol-rich high-fat diet and hepatitis infection promotes cancer initiation, but the exact molecular mechanism is unknown. In this research work, we have discovered...
